But you are on an island, too, it's just rather bigger.

And did you actually READ what I wrote?


Absolutely. I was injecting a little humor into the discussion and I guess it went over your head.

Here is the quote, and a fact check:

What's True

Maybe not be quantity, but by quality of the dumb thing said... politicians are going to rule this thread.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Oh dear Lord, forgot all about this;
A couple years ago my wife and I were replacing baseboard in the house. While at Home Depot getting b the paint, a fine specimen of college male worker bee is about 6' away and my wife asks him, "excuse me, where's your caulk?"

Don't know who turned redder, the kid when he heard the question or my wife, when she realized what she said.

My wife refused to go back into that store for a few months afterwards.

No, didn't come from me -- just overheard.

While traveling on a hiway, we are passing a farm that had a cylinder shaped wire mesh silo.
My friend asked, "Why are they storing all of those bananas?". I tried my best not to laugh, but told them that the yellow items that you see are corn cobs drying and being made into cattle feed.

Here is one from me being a smart alec...

One time, I was at the dentist, where he said, "looks like a cavity forming here, do you want me to take care of it now?". I declined. Six months later, he checks everything again saying, "All looks good!". I'm wondering where my cavity went. With that in mind, he was saying that one side of my mouth was not as clean as the other. So I replied, "I brush from left to right, must run out of Flouride towards the end. I should change directions occasionally!".
He just gave me a weird blank stare.

BTW, that was over 20 years ago and I still don't have any cavities.

That reminds me of when I got checked out at midwest university medical center and they wanted a follow up on apparent blood in urine. I told them I didn't take a urine test. They had me come in for one, and negative on blood in urine.

On this forum I do my utmost best to be pleasant, no matter what shit you guys throw at me from time to time.

However, living in UK from necessity, and getting some jerkwad from Gilbert Arizona [WTF?] taking the piss out of me because he just feels like it's funny, gets thin mighty fast.

End it.

New United Motors was a car manufacturing facility in Fremont CA, jointly owned by GM and Toyota. The plant was far too expensive to operate compared to other manufacturing locations.

They tried to get United Auto Worker concessions to help cut costs, in hopes to keep things operating, the UAW wouldn't budge, the plant was shutting down, all workers laid off.

A local news station interviewed an auto worker (now unemployed), driving out of the parking lot for the last time, "we showed them who's boss".
