If looks could kill!

Just what did you open it with?

Hmmm, saw the above in the forum jokes thread yesterday, post by "STRAY".

Night Owl from a rainy Piedmont.

I know very well about one in Baltimore, MD many years ago. TIDE brand soap packets were .........................................

I have NEVER been there!!!!

I remember one (well, part of one) on a stall wall in a rest area on the PA Turnpike that started with the regular doggerel: "Here I sit Broken-hearted Came to **** And only f@rted." The second verse had these two lines plus the two "Dah dah dahs" that I do not remember: "?Dah dah dah Took a chance ?Dah dah dah **** my pants" I think that the first "Dah dah dahs" line may have been something like: "Felt an urge" Anyway I liked it so much that I was going to go out to the bus we were dead-heading back to Cleveland and bring back paper and a pen to copy it down. Either I did not complete the mission or the stall was occupied when I got back and I did not wait around. Unfortunately, rhyming that "urge" has stumped me for years! Note that this was back around 1978 or so and even now the mighty Google has been no help!

The above reminded me of a sign on the bulkhead (at eye level) in one of the heads onboard the USS KITTY HAWK CVA-63 that stated: "if you can p!$$ above this line, the special fire-fighting team needs you."

I guess that humor does not necessarily cross the ocean and retain the intended humor.

I had measles as a kid (I think) and do not (yet) have any significant high-freq hearing loss.

When I first saw that, I thought it was in B's On2½ product line and seriously looked at it for about a second or so. But then common sense kicked in.

Hmmm, the original has vanished!

ME! I bought this Mallard: But, it was only a dollar at a US train show. And, I have wanted a model of MALLARD; this will have to do. EDIT: Note that it does have a tender!!

Don't forget West Virginia! Their new state motto:"One big, happy family. Really.".

Maybe an air rifle/pellet rifle instead?

Since when has that stopped anyone before?????

Well, I just got back from an Irish Wake for a lady from our church, true Irish it was: She will be missed.

But when Air Vice Marshall Hunt flew his F-4 into the scene??

I am whipped, I just finished harvesting the hay er, mowing the lawn; all acre and a half or so. Luckily I have this: EDIT: The hard part (for me, anyway) is getting the ambition to get on it and start. Once on and doing the job, it is sort of fun. Note that it is capable of about 10 MPH flat out on relatively level ground. When I first got it, I could not resist staying in one place with one arm all the way to the front and one arm all the way to the rear. It will actually rotate about it center axis leaving a circular cut in the grass. With the arms out as in the photo, the transmission is locked and it will not move; also one has to be seated to get it to move; It can be started with out being seated as for maintenance or idling. Two safety devices that are very easy to co-operate with. Note that the brand is HUSTLER and the model RAPTOR LIMITED.
