So this guy walks into a dockside bar, and sees this pirate with a wooden leg, hook on one hand, and an eye patch.After a few beers, they get to talking.

The guy asks the pirate, "So, how did you end up with a wooden leg?"

The pirate replies, "Arrrr, well, ya see, I was taking a swim off the coast of Tazmania, and up comes this shark and chomps off me leg."

The guy then asks, "And how did you end up with the hook?"

The pirate answers, "Arrrr, well, ya see, we were raiding a ship, and as we were crossing swords with the lads, one of them got a lucky swipe and took off me hand with his knife"

The guy then asks, "So how did you get that eye patch?"

The pirate muses, "Arrr, well, ya see, I was standing watch on the main deck, and when I looked up, a seagull pooped into me eye"

The guy says, "I don't understand, how did that cause you to lose your eye?"

And the pirate replies, "Arrrr, well, ya see, it was me first day with the hook"

i heard this on the radio this AM and figured i could find it on Ananova. This is for CJ, the champion of the La Leche League! all breastfeeding all the time!

[RikaStrom]

[Robert A Cook PE]

..can't wait to feed you, honey bunch.....

Hope you are stocking up on some prevention for Norwalk Virus

Hobby!

Why are you buggin' xsex about her Norwalk virii? (Besides, it all comes out okay in the end.....)
I'm sure xsex is perfectly capable of brewin' up a batch all by herself fully capable of wiping the whole fleet out of Norfolk, VA. She may not want you buttin' into her kitchen with all them sailors all over anyway....

It ain't xsex who's the victim of Norwalker, it's Rika.

[CholeraJoe]

That's disgusting. At least she didn't feed them in public.

[xsmommy]

LOL! that is what the radio guy said! i knew you would enjoy hearing that, ardent breastfeeding advocate that you are!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Boy! Think of them baby teeth - and a mastiff (mommy stiff?) breed as well.

How did she sterilize herself before feeding her kid?

[xsmommy]

robt, it is going to be CJ's extreme pleasure and honor to be dining in the xsabode next week. i have delightful treats in store for him....

[xsmommy]

[RikaStrom]

I'll see y'all later, I am going to go to the doctor's office to do a "hurry up and wait" concept.

I want those drops!!

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

That's disgusting. At least she didn't feed them in public.

The Article left out the part about the Peanut Butter.

[VRWCmember]

do a "hurry up and wait" concept.

Speaking of "hurry up and wait", I wonder if there will ever be a new class for today.

[TheGrimReaper]

Well, you got a leg up on us with that one.... we took it hook, line and sinker....we'll have to keep an eye out for this kind of thing in the future.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Menu?

I could recommend: Peanut butter. Milk and cereal. Beenie-weenies. Crackers. Soup might be safe. (Campbell's - check the can for dents and split ends first...) Hotdogs. Macaroni and cheese.

Pizza is probably okay - Who does the delivery in your neighborhood?

[CholeraJoe]

I'm fully expecting weenies and bagged salad.
