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....

A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit. 9 iron."

The man looks around and doesn't see snyone so he tries again.

"Ribbit. 9 iron." He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts his other club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits a birdie. He is shocked.

He says to the frog, "Wow, that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog, eh?"

The frog reply's "Ribbit. Lucky frog. Lucky frog."

The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. "What do you think, frog?", the man asks.

"Ribbit. wood." was the reply. The guy takes out a wood and - Boom! - a hole in one.

The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, "OK...where to next?"

The frog replies, "Ribbit Las vegas".

They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?"

The frog says "Ribbit roulette." Upon approaching the table the man asks. "What do you think I should bet?"

The frog replies, "Ribbit $3000 black 6." Now, this is a million to one shot that this would win but after the golf game. the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash come sliding back across the table. The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel.

He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You win me all this money and I am forever greatful."

The frog replies, "Ribbit Kiss me." The man figures why not, since after all the frog did for him he deserves it. All of a sudden the frog turns into the most gorgeous 16 year old girl in the world.

"And that, your honour, is how the girl ended up in my room".

Fred goes to a doctor and says, "Doc, I want to be castrated."
Doc says, "Look, I don't know what kind of cult you're into or what your motives are, but I'm not
going to do that sort of operation."
Fred: "Doc, I just want to be castrated, and I'm a little embarrassed about talking about it, but I have $5,000 cash right here. Will you do it?"
Doc says, "Well, OK, I guess I could make this one exception. I don't understand it, but OK." He puts Fred to sleep, does the trick, and is waiting at the bedside when Fred wakes up.
"Well, Doc, how'd it go?" Fred asks.
"It went fine, just fine. It's really not too difficult of an operation. As a matter of fact, $5,000 is a lot to pay for such a simple task, and I felt a little guilty about taking that much. So, while I was operating, I also noticed that you had never been circumcised, so I went ahead and did that, too. I think it's really more hygienic and healthy for a man to be circumcised, and I hope you don't mind my..."
"CIRCUMCISED!" yells Fred. "THAT'S the word!!!"

I know, it's absolutely scary. I had to go and unsubscribe these ninnies to hopefully stop the spam. I then had to remind the boss that he told me to do it, I wasn't going there willingly!!! LOL

That sounds suspicously like the beginning of a movie I saw on Spice Channel .........I believe the role of the Boss was played by Buck Nekkid.
