Ahh, what great ammunition for the future. He owes you BIG time. Just remind him of this every time you want to see a chick flick. | |

| Labor sucks. Hurts more than men can possibly imagine. So what does my spouse do while I'm SCREAMING in labor all day long and forbidden from eating anything solid? Eats a cheeseburger. In front of me. While watching CNN, STILL controlling the remote even though it's MY hospital room. I could really go for a cheeseburger right about now... nice and bloody. Restaurants won't serve it less-cooked than medium-well in most towns in Massachusetts anymore for fear of getting sued. I think that's just wrong.

Absolutely perfect. Learnt just the other day that "botulinus" comes from the Latin word for sausage; wonder if injecting sausage meat might work just as well as botox?...

| It really freaks me out that people inject botulism into their skin to look younger. That ain't right. I thought we might have learned something from taking arsenic all those years, but apparently not. I've had a few cases or food poisoning in my life, and I can't imagine it in my face.

When someone needed a light for a cigarette, and asked "Do you have a match?", the response would be "Yes, your face and my arse". Kids can be so cruel, can't they?

| So are many animals, just look at cats with mice... oh it's dead... hmmm I'll just toss it up in the air a few times and pounce on it some more... Isn't it great waking up at 3 am to your cat playing with live prey?

| Cats can be great fun. I once had a cat that liked to jump up on top of the aquarium to watch the fish. Once it did so while I was cleaning the aquarium. The glass top was, of course, off. The cat landed right in the middle of the aquarium and went in the water.
Did you know that just like the cats we see in cartoons, real cats can jump straight up, scramble their feet in mid-air and with no physical contact to anything, go streaking off at 90 degrees to their previous direction?

Said his mother had made him a homosexual. I asked if she'd make me one too, if I got her the wool. Gave me the funniest look. Thank god for buses.

| Basil is great in most things. I really like John Cleese as Basil Fawlty in "Fawlty Towers." That's classic comedy!
