Re: Male urination etiquette
« on: September 21, 2006, 04:59:38 PM »
1. If ya shake it more 'n twice, yer playin' with it.

2. No talking at the urinal. Women talk while pi$$ing and crapping. Men don't.

3. If you must talk, say hello at the wash basin. Assuming you wash your hands at all. Maybe you don't pi$$ on your hands, so you don't have to wash. In that case, skip the small talk and get the hell out.

4. No bitching about any smells. Ya didn't go in there to make perfume, fer crissake.

Nothing ain't worth nothing if it ain't free.


Dying is a state of mind.

I see walking corpses every day.

No spark, no fun, no real life.

Waiting for Godot.

I'm enjoying my time here. When I'm gone, I'm gone.

Let the wind take me away. Dust.

On quitting smoking...


Careful you don't substitute one addiction for another.

Keep suckin' air when it gets tough.

Believe me, if I could quit, you certainly can.

Quitting is a marathon. Run it one step at a time.

Never bothers me when people have their own views of the universe, supreme beings, life and death, etc.
When they live their lives according to the precepts of their beliefs and become examples of their
faith, I admire them greatly.

It is when the evangelists try to save me from myself that I become irritated. Do they think they are the only ones who have contemplated mankind's role in the universe? Some of us have been doing that for a long time.

And keep your religion out of my government. If you need a reason, take a look at religion-controlled governments in the Middle East. A little religion leads to a little more, a little more, and soon the zealots are stoning and beheading people. Want a little closer look? Look at Salem, Mass. and the stoning of witches.

Did you know that he was a teacher? There is no more noble profession - except for nurses and police officers.

 Saw Janis in concert (that'll tell you how old I am). She came out on stage with a bottle of Southern Comfort and said she didn't give a damn what anybody said, she was going to sing until either the bottle gave up or she passed out. She proceed to rip everyone apart emotionally with her songs for about 3 hours . At which time the bottle was empty. She staggered off the stage to a thunderous, screaming standing ovation.

Will never forget that night as long as I live.

Is a "good vice" an oxymoron?


Do these questions mean anything at all?

Why do I ask such things?

We can't conceive of infinity.

As soon as we define it in our minds, we have given it boundaries.

And it is no longer infinite.

This is classic FTW; challenging you to use your damn brain!

When I was about 12, I was in a group of "big guys" (must have been 16 and 17 year olds). One of the guys told this joke:

Q: What happened when the girl backed into the airplane propeller?

A: Disaster

Most of the guys laughed like crazy, and so did I, even though I had not the slightest idea what it meant.

I didn't get it until years later. Now I'm not so sure the other older guys got it at the time, either. Probably didn't want to confess to a brain freeze, just like me.

I remember posting a joke I thought was hilarious, and Wolf wrote back that it was one of the funniest jokes he'd ever heard. Let's see if I can remember it.

A man was injured at work and was hospitalized. Was in terrible pain, according to his wife. After he was able to go home, he still had a lot of pain, which affected his every movement, but even so he managed to go to church one Sunday. His wife, the dear woman, got up and asked everybody to pray for him because he was in such terrible pain from injury to his scrotum that every movement caused pain, to the point he could not hug her or even hold his baby girl on his lap. There was dead silence -- and then he got up and slowly walked to the front of the church, turned around, and said, "My wife is mistaken. I didn't injure my scrotum. I broke my sternum."

No problem.

The only requirement you left out was that no registered republican can own any sharp object.

That, of course, does not apply to their brains. . . . .which, as everyone knows already, are never sharp objects and cannot be honed.

Strangely as relevant today as it was when he wrote it!  :biggrin:

We can probably expect him to call upon us sometime soon, and put to rest the question surrounding what is next; if anything. . .  :biggrin:
