Actually, I think JimRob and FreeRepublic should have a virtual graveyard for bannees and ZOTees.

Howya! We've had a thaw here, 40's today and same forecast for tomorrow. It could be much worse!

[rottndog]

It's 58 in the office here...cold for me is when I have to wear pants to work...been wearing pants for a couple of months now. It's supposed to be in the 70s this weekend.

Long pants probably look better with your necktie than shorts do.

[rottndog]

What's a necktie?

[Professional Engineer]

Napkin noose

Brrr. I keep our thermostat at 66, so we're always cold in the house.

A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl across the street. The father, being modern and well-schooled in handling children, hid his smile behind his hand.

“That's a serious step,” he said. “Have you thought it out completely?”
“Yes,” his young son answered. “We can spend one week in my room and the next in hers. It's right across the street, so I can run home if I get scared of the dark.”

“How about transportation?” the father asked.
“I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles,” the little boy answered.

The boy had an answer to every question the father raised.

Finally, in exasperation, his dad asked, “What about babies? When you're married, you're liable to have babies, you know.”
“We've thought about that, too,” the little boy replied.
“We're not going to have babies. Every time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it!”

IT IS GOOD TO BE A WOMAN:

 

» We got off the Titanic first.

» We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

» Taxis stop for us.

» We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

» No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.

» We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.

» If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

» We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear.

» We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are     

  still there.

» We have the ability to dress ourselves.

» We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them

  naked.

» If we marry someone 20 years younger, we're aware that we look like an   

  idiot.

» There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

» We'll never regret piercing our ears.

We're in a spa this month? Cool!

I'll have the salt and olive oil scrub, followed by the sea weed wrap and then I want to be gently steamed for a half hour and then....

Hmmmmm.... well I am sure I will come up with something!

Funny... in a misinformed-about-human-males sorta way! ;)
