in the 1400's a law was set forth in england that a man was allowed to beat
his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. hence we have "the rule of
thumb..."

The use of "Raspberry" for the bilabial fricative (or Bronx Cheer, if you prefer) comes from Cockney rhyming slang, in which the first word of a two word phrase stands in for a word that rhymes with the second word of the phrase. In this case, Rasberry Tarts rhymes with Farts.

Since Fred and Wilma Flintstone were a couple of the earliest ancestors of our human race, they must have done it a lot. And I thank them for it.

Pistachio nuts are highly flammable when stored in large quantities and are prone to self heating and spontaneous combustion.

Michigan is currently the state with the highest unemployment rate, though Alaska is currently in second place.

I have five fingers on my left hand, and on my right, the count comes again to five; probability and common estimation would allow my presumption, of you, too, having the same characteristics as described above, a good wide margin of percentage, say 96%.

My 87 year old next-door neighbor, who lives across the hall from me,
has the most beautiful sparkling blue eyes, full of life and humor.
He knocked on my door, to ask me if I wanted some of his pizza.

He is my good friend.
He knows I see the vibrance in his spirit,despite his infirmities of old age.

He is my treasure.
He is my teacher.
I am listening.

Ourcrazymodern?, is one.
So am I.
So are you.

Why do you think, the dalai lama,
laughs so much?

We are all the genius of ourselves.

Then it's scarf three hot-dogs..two beers..and skinny dip,
and dive through the inner-tube. (watchout for that pokey valve thingie)

then as we lay in bed after a full day,
the thoughts and impressions play most perfectly disjointed.

I tried to talk to my third grade teacher about these thought patterns.

I could sense her skin quivering. She yearned to connect with me wholly.

I understand the constrictures she was bound by..in 1966.

When she looked into my eyes,
and I looked into hers,

the understanding bound us forever.

We smiled a knowing guileless rapture.
