Word For The Day 4/26/02
The Verbivores | Sappho Day | Hobbes, The Good Sub!

Posted on 04/26/2002 5:02:09 AM PDT by hobbes1

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Happy Sappho Day!

Bwahaha... Nice alliteration dude... And that's my big word for the day...

WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! I got my TOF sh!t to work right off the bat, dude... I'm tickled like a pillow at a pajama party... I ain't used it for over a year so I figgered nothin' would work but that lil' ol' scaler just started rackin' up the counts... Two peaks close together upfield, looks like O- and F-. A HELL of alot of F-. Which means I'm either getting beam reflection or the incident F- is adsorbing and I'm sputtering it off again... Either way that kinda sucks but I don't give a rat's ass, the beeatch WORKS...

Let me just announce that I expect President Bush to publicly thank me and my obsession with the home shopping channels for our rapidly waxing economy.

And then, in his gratitude, perhaps he can look into the little matter of my Master Card bill for last month...

"Whiny little pusbags." I'll have to remember that one. Has a certain poetry to it.

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry. He decides to give them a Test. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what she does with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed. The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money, and then he..............

Married the one with the biggest tits. Men are Men....

[sigh]

A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only". Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.

The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."

So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.

They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."

They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.

On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.

There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

FINE... Here's one for the gals--

"In a survey, 80 percent of women thought their a$$ was too fat, 15 percent said their a$$ was too thin, and the other five percent said they didn't care - they would have married him anyway!!"

Her husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, she squirted it all over the doorknobs and he couldn't get back in.
********************
"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he stepped out of the shower. "Honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"
"Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.
********************
Q: What must a woman do when a man is running around in circles?
A: Reload and continue shooting.
********************
Q: Why can't men get Mad Cow Disease?
A: Because it only attacks the brain.
********************
Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumor.
********************
A couple is lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world."
The woman says, "I'll miss you."
