Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[Argh]

Our toilet is now in the bathtub.

What you're probably looking at is called a bidet (beeday) in cultured circles...

[Eala]

That's an Indian-style crapper!

Chinese too. Encountered them in Beijing. But without kilt.

[TheGrimReaper]

Our driver advised us to keep the car windows up at all times. Seems that the street folk have this scam... many have leprosy and, if you give them money, they WON'T touch you!

[Eala]

(beeday)

(bee-DAY, not BEE-day, in case someone didn't know)

Pay up, or the piper keeps playing!

Don't you just love the screech when they're out of tune?

[Argh]

Thank you, it should have occurred to me. Now we just need someone to tell Miss Slip that IT'S NOT FOR WASHING YOUR FEET, y'know!

[CholeraJoe]

I thought it was a low drinking fountain.

[Argh]

Hmmm, no response. Miss Slip must be stuffing her face with lunch. Oh, well, at least that way we know it's not likely she's using the bidet!

[Argh]

Yuck! Mightn't that give you jaundice or one of the hepatitises or something if you used it that way, Doc?

[Slip18]

I was not stuffing my face. I was out picking up the mulberry tree branches I cut this morning. The dogs needed my presence in the backyard.

All the workers have loved our boys.

[Slip18]

It's a low dunkin' fountain. LOL!

[Argh]

Well, I'm glad you're getting your place fixed up. You might have Mr. Liberty show you how to use that bidet thingee. Don't have the Doc show you, he seems to have missed the point. :^)

[Slip18]

I don't think Cyber has to show me how to use a bidet, Arghie! I haven't been hiding in the closet all my life . . .

[Argh]

Jeez, I thought I was NEVER gonna get a rise out of you today! :^) See you later, Miss Sweetissima!

[Slip18]

Is that what you were doing, Arghie? LOL!

[xsmommy]

harrumph to you, mr. liberty ; )

[Slip18]

Mr. Liberty has been waiting to call you that for a long time, xs.

He's home now. Gotta go!

[Cyber Liberty]

Heh, heh, heh....

[xsmommy]

yer a snot, cyber!

[xsmommy]

what, does he live 2 minutes from his ofc or what?
