#23...And my FAVORITE...... The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends, if they're okay, then it's you. :D

Very true...I do press harder on the remote...then i just throw it across the room when it goes dead....that's what happens in a dorm room. I can't necessarily throw my laptop around, but I can throw something imperishable :). So if you visit my dorm room, watcho ut for flying things. :)

*DUCKING!* :D

smart move...people stop when i throw something...cause normally it's my knife at the wall, and no i'm not a violent person....heee hee.

Oh yea, about the ankle one...best way to let someone know that it hurt...tell them you didn't need that ankle and that they make prosthetic ones for those of us who get hit with renegade carts. :D

That'll put them in their place :)

Trust me, i've done it before...

Another thing that works is to fall on the floor grabbing your ankle and roll back and forth yelling "OW that hurt!"

That hurts too much...i never fall over right and I don't feel like having bruises where i fell, cause knowing my luck i'd be in an aisle and things would fall on me...LOL.

;)

I don't any more. I use one of those motorised carts now and just bump back. Bumper carts are fun!

Shoot yea man. I love riding the bumper cars. We make our own bumper go-carts around here. It'll jar ya up, but it's quite a rush. :)

Speaking of bumper carts, bruises, and pain.  Have you ever gotten run over by an amigo cart.  I work at a store and man that hurts.  What I don't understand is how when they are looking straight forward they still manage to hit something that is right in front of them.  Man, if I knew that that was coming I would have ran out of the way fast.  Can you imagine how they drive a car? :-X

Teacher, I studied for the wrong test!  ;D  ;D  ;D

WHY?

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

DW Why do they have brail on the drive thru ATM's. I've been trying to figure that out for sometime now and now you come up with all those that we always knew about but.............
 :-[ were afraid to ask........

I don't have a funny quip on this one but I have an answer. My daughter-in-laws mother is blind. She is also has a difficult time walking. My daughter-in-law will take her to the ATM so she doesn't have to walk, doing her banking out the car window or doing it by computer from home.
