A woman was standing at the edge of a cliff trying to get the nerve to j= ump off. A homeless drunk stopped and mumbled, "If you're about to kill yourself,= how about a shag before you go?" The woman was angry and said, "No! Fuck off you filthy old bastard!" The tramp turned to leave and said, "No problem, I'll just go and wait a= t the bottom then."

A female friend of mine was admitted to a private hospital to try to lose weight. Naturally I sent her flowers.

I received a "thank-you" note several days later; it said, "Thanks for the flowers, they were delicious!"

Neither of them are true unless you think Arabs, Indonesian and blacks are the same, in the case of Muslims. Most Jews are caucasian, tracing their heritage to eastern and western Europe, a significant number living in North America. You probably even have native born scottish Jews.

I know a guy who makes beer money digging up old bottles. You don't want a contemporary land fill but if you find one that is ~100 years old, there will be bottles in there that collectors will pay big bucks for in antique shops.

[gfretwell]

The Palestinians would disagree with you.

The problem these days is that they are using so much plastic in furniture and home furnishing these days that a fire can go from a flicker to out of control in minutes.

[gfretwell]

They have a rule that dwellings need 2 doors but I have seen them side by side. In my Maryland house, if you had a kitchen fire, you would need to go through the fire to get to the back door and right by it to get to the front door. That is why I put in the sprinklers in the hall and foyer. I had planned to put a door in the bedroom after I put on the deck out back but I moved away before I got to it.

Tommy Flanagan, who played Chibs in 'Sons of Anarchy' is probably the most famous recipient. Note the scars extending from the corners of his mouth where someone sliced him a new smile

Supposedly 'chib' is Scottish slang for a blade, possibly because Scots can pronounce 'shiv'.

[rbowman]

Yeah, Cromwell screwed that pooch too. Is there enough left of him to did him up and execute him again?

[rbowman]

All except the convert part... Today's bag was 52 or 55 depending on who was counting.

I can't imagine that any of those, with the possible exception of Killington, have the views that Whiteface has. Mansfield and Camel's hump should be pretty good, too.

The sailplanes swarming around Whiteface were neat to watch, too.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Ouch.

I take it you meant "can't". Scots can't pronounce all sorts of things. The stronger one's accent, the lower one's intelligence.
