Re: Profound questions for a Sunday Afternoon

Godness you two that gag was awful.. have a go at these

Do witches run spell checkers?

Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Why is a boxing ring square?

Why is Hang Over Cure called "Hair Of The Dog" ?

which also has the dual advantages of making you a cheap date, and meaning that as a designated driver will always be available no one will have to explain their location drunkenly to a taxi firm

bearing these points in mind you should at the very least be able to find a guy who knows what a hankercheif is for

because in folk remedies the cure for a dog bite is made from the hair of the dog that bit you - thus hair of the dog doesnt mean a generic hangover cure it means more booze which makes you feel better by taking the hangover away .... until you sober up again of course at which point you feel worse than ever

1. no....they cook up a potion for anyone silly enough to point out their mistakes
2. i don't know, but its making my hair go bubblegum coloured rather than the deep magenta its supposed to be
3. thousands of tiny miscroscopis gnomes with oars keep it swirly round inside so it never solidifies
4. because it was designed by a bloke who'd been hit one too many times

A girl who drinks pepsi alnight is considerably cheaper to take out than one who drinks wine at 20 quid a glass (ref my ex in previous posts) - and she can drive you home afterwards saving the taxi fare - an alround result -

I definitely didnt mean cheap in any other sense

*Note to self*
i) think before you press submit
ii) stop posting after the sixth bottle of magners
iii) when in a hole stop digging

Loo seats would not be fitted to loos if they were meant to display the gaping mouth!!!!. Therefore they must be closed... logic ...innit!

Re: Profound questions for a Sunday Afternoon

I am off to bed know......I am going to dream of Magners! Tommorrow going to go and buy a few so I can understand the jokes.

One last question before my head hits the pillow:

Been watching old series of Hill Street Blues on DVD, why is it the men I thought were old enough to be my granddad now become extremly attractive...got a crush on the Sarge. I am off tomorrow to drink my 9 pints of magners and find a toy boy minus the traffic cone!!

Goodnight see you tomorrow.

yee gods debs, don't do it. start with one. magners is nasty stuff.....do you really want a toy boy? if so two bits of wisdom:

1. do not, under any circumstances, let them near a PS2, you will never see them again
2. do not, under any circumstances, let them near a sports bar, you will never see them again and you will develop an unhealthy need to watch sport, whatever it is!

it was only when the credit card bill came that I saw that the total for a meal for two came to over 250 notes - naturally I thought it was an error so the compleat angler sent me a copy of the bill and there you have it

5 glasses of chateau de rip off at £20 per glass , and what made it worse was that by that point she'd gone off with said stockbroker GRRRRRRRR not that i'm bitter or anything.

which leads me into my next two questions

a) Should a gentleman always pick up the tab on a date or is it now more pc to go dutch ?
and
b) why do they call it going dutch anyway ?

gack. hence my total non having of credit cards. far to easy to spend money i don't have.

i don't think gentleman should have to pick up the tab (unless they've done something, well, ungentlemanly), much more democratic to split the bill. i have no idea why the call it going dutch...i shall endeavour to find out though. there's bound to be an answer on google somewhere.....

I am in my early 40s (well preserved....and no eeyore I don't mean pickled!) so 30s would be toy boy

Why do they call them toy boy, is it cause they always run off with a sindy look a like and leave you without anyone to play with?

Re: Profound questions for a Sunday Afternoon

Excellent thread
I see that someone has already dealt with the 'if the seat's up, put it down' issue, so here are a couple of my questions
Is it possible to be addicted to therapy, and if so, how do you treat it?
What did students steal before traffic cones?
What did eeyore drink before Magners (apart from snakebite and black, eeuchh!!)?

Then why are they able to be lifted up at all?? After all, surely an invention that allows Eeyore (sorry mate) to be more accurate after all his Magners is a good thing anyway And if we don't put it down atfer then it's a small price to pay in comparison to a possible wet bum

Anyway, I don't know how I got dragged into all this 'toilet humour', I'm a good boy and always replace said seat
