Embarrassing moment at my parent teacher conference. The teacher was showing us some of the "nonsense words" that they use to to teach phonetics. (basically letter combinations that form non-words)... Looking down the list I noticed "quim" I couldn't bring myself to tell her that is was a word and more importantly what it means.

Hmm, maybe she knows, and the joke is on you.

Lutheran school I highly doubt it.

Why would anyone who's been eating shit be grinning?

Why would anyone who's been eating shit be grinning?

Because anyone who has been eating shit (like most Trump supporters?) are effing loony.

When did the expression "A Thing" become a thing?

[Joe Guy]

It's just one of those things that happened when nobody was paying attention.

[ex-khobar Andy]

I don't think it's a thing yet.

[RayThom]

I think it's a thing but almost nothing.

I wonder if Mozart or Beethoven were ever accused of making unwanted overtures?

[Joe Guy]

Mozart lost a job once when he said, 'Roll over Beethoven' to a young Ludwig.

[Big RR]

I don't know econo, but Beethoven left his last movement on the piano bench.

I just realized my boss is just like my mom. If they’re right they will harp on it until you have no sympathy left for them. If they’re wrong just agree anyway it will save frustration in the long run.

Is it wrong to hope that the "My Pillow" guy is the one standing in the middle of 5th Avenue when Trump decides to test his shooting theory?

[Joe Guy]

It would no doubt help Trump's ratings.

[BoSoxGal]

Oh that’s awful! But after just one day of forced FOX News viewing, I TOTALLY get it! (I’ll never get that fucking jingle out of my head!)

When Winston Churchill first displayed his iconic 'V for Victory' gesture, was that truly what he meant... ?
— or was he actually flipping off Hitler and the Nazis?

Or was he maybe just playing a game of Rochambeau?

He was asking for two orders of fish & chips from a street vendor.

I'm confused by my toilet flushing mechanism - it's one of those flat, two-part button systems that's supposed to let you choose whether to use too much water or way too much water. The buttons are marked I and II - but I don't know which refers to what, or what to which.

Now, is Roman II supposed to be pushed when there's a #2 in the bowl?

Or is the Roman I to be pushed to clear everything out in 1 go?

I've tried pressing both at different times and I'm blessed if I can see or hear any difference between them in the amount of water used or the time/amount that refills the cistern. Indeed, they seem like Siamese twins - where one goes, so goes the other
