    Do You Realize? - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize? - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize? - that everyone you know someday will die

    Ya_Can take that literally:
    Imagine if the Wayward Clam stood upside down on the draining board.
    He could really aim that pearl of his.

    "Shake well before using".

    Does this mean shake it really good, before using; or shake it "well before" (as in a long time before) using???

    Or the ever-popular "Lather, rinse, repeat"....you'll never leave the shower.

    Or, the one about hte blonde QA tech at the M&M plant, was fired for throwing out too many "W"s.
    It is too late to fix America via the Republicans or Democrats, and too early to start shooting the bastards.

    Pray for Our Nation
    4.25

    Charging to pray for the country, riding the war

    You can tell it's Friday....

    Overhead on train, two ladies finishing converstaion..."....and tits like coconuts!!!", which reminded me that time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana...

    On my bread round once.. "Please leave two loaves. Stand in garage till I get home" As if I'd nothing better to do

    But what beats "Plug 'n play"? Take that literally?

    Ah well...

    And, on holiday, impressed her at a restaurant with, on the menu "Flamboyant squid on chef's spit" (Trust the Algarve)

    And...nice sign (you've seen it?) housing area "Drive carefully - free range children" [For the brits, in Wales Drive Caerphilly]

    Lastly, seen on roadside "Jesus saves" someone wrote unbderneath "But Owen scores on the rebound"
