Jim Webb is upset he didn't think of this little ditty.

[Piranha]

Code 'em
Goad 'em
Hoed 'em
Mowed 'em
Knowed 'em
Owed 'em
Rowed 'em
Sewed 'em
Showed 'em
Stowed 'em
Towed 'em

I hear she is going to tackle TEA BAGGING in her next book

[Richard Kimball]

The first thing I thought of was that joke. I see it came to your mind, too. I suspect the author included it for the same reason.

[Grizzled Bear]

The way I herd it, your sister who bit the moose on the Gazebo.

I love medical terms!

[The Coopster]

Like a pair of roll-up window blinds, eh?

[Grizzled Bear]

Pwned 'em

[gcruse]

When a freeper named Mr Ramsbotham,
Rhymed 'scrotum' as if it were 'scrawtum,'
I thought what a shame,
Looks like his own name,
Done unhitched the way that we taught 'im.

[xsmommy]

LMAO!!!

A moose once bit my sister on the scrotum.

What was your sister doing on the scrotum? Was it some kind of nut case?

[6SJ7]

LOL! You get an 'A'!

[M-cubed]

U stole my thunder!...lol....I was working on a longer one...tote 'em comes to mind with scrotum...

[M-cubed]

I was up in Boston one time and asked a cabbie if he knew a good place to get scrod. <<

Used to be the Combat Zone......

I LOVE these threads..I start to read them, and by the timeI'm done, the tears are rolling....you guys have GREAT senses of humor and your abilities at sarcasm are great..freepers are both very knowledgeable, but VERY entertaining as well....perhaps that's exactly what the other side lacks.....Hmmmmm

[ViLaLuz]

I hope the school library also banned that book "Revenge of the Tiger" by Claude Ball.

[knuthom]

Can we now expect the counterpart to the Vagina Monologues - the Scrotum Soliloquies?

[M-cubed]

I hear ya.....we can be a bit silly at times...but its amazing how much we can learn here..get so many different views and perspectives......I've had my mind changed several times
