Some situations in the US can be confusing if you really think about it, but I'm sure we don't have a monopoly on things that make you scratch your head and wonder WTF. [confused]

As described; no political, nor rants of any other kind are allowed. =;[-([-X

This is the place to list questions you don't really expect to have answered. [blink]

 

Such as...

 

Why does the university of the "Fighting Irish" have a French name? :-k

Notre Dame Cathedral was/is the most famous Catholic Church in history.....Ireland had the largest per capita percentage of Catholics (and the University was likely founded BY Irish Businessmen)when NDU was founded.

The bit with "smell" from Duane made me remember one about the cowboy who came into a restaurant on cattle sale day and an urban tourist scrunched up her nose and said undiplomatically, "Sir, you smell!" to which he responded, "Ma'am, YOU smell. I stink."

Quap...

 

RE that ear hair... I think it's an arithmatic inversion of loss of hair on other parts of the head.

 

<grin>

 

I'm not normally a violent person or one to make physical threats, but I have consistently made threats of serious physical damage to the two barbers across the street from the office - and those turkeys keep ignoring them - and using the mirror to show me the back of my head.

 

#$%#$%#%@#$%@

 

<sigh> dunno why they weren't too scared to do so.
