I have, also. And, usually, used improperly.

It's rather dificult to explain to people that they have just delivered an empty set.

True, but I've heard the "quote - unquote" term used hundreds of times. Often, it is accompanied by finger gestures of quote marks.

Wasn't his wife named, Lotta S*it? Is that the Jack you are talking about?

I believe you received an "empty set"! B^p

To the sledgehammer wielding helper, the foreman said, "I'll hold this spike and when I nod my head you hit it." We're now looking for a new foreman.

I got something about this, about twenty years ago. It was a multi generation photo copy that was kinda funny. I'm sure it can be found on the net, if one wishes to search. Me, I don't go for that s*it.

Yeah, and I got nothing to show for it.

Reminds me of the sledgehammer joke about "now, THAT's intelligence!" I can't find it on the net, but I could write it, if asked. Runs a bit long.

If it's off the top of your head...please don't!

Considering that, I once had to get some car body damage fixed. Someone (at the body shop) asked me "Where was the car damaged?". For awhile, I thought about which answer was apropriate (both are true):

"Near the left side headlight."

"Hulen Street, in front of the mall."

Sign in a grocery store:

"Checks cashed for amount of purchase only in express lane"

So, if you write a check somewhere else, it must be for the wrong amount?

Printed on the top of a box:

"Do not drop this side up"

How do you drop one side (but not the other side), and drop it up (not down)?

Sign in a laundromat:

"Absolutely no dying in the machines"

Stay inside a washing machine and live forever?

I saw a sign in a laundry, declaring that THESE ARE IOLB WASHERS!

I wondered what IOLB (prounounced EYE-olb?) meant. Many years later, I may have figured out what EYE-olb meant.

Do not use in shower, or while mowing lawn. Wear eye protection from bottom up.

I notice that I screw my post up the worst after I have gone back and edited them. The more I edit the worse they come out.

Reminds me of all the railroad cars I saw as a kid. Lots of box cars from Capa city.

You sound something like his cousin, "I don't give a s*it".

When I was a young boy I heard of a woman who slipped and cut herself in the pantry.

"I cut the board three times, and it's still too short!"

All neatly numbered?

Thanks, I got a smile from that. Did they have a message to tare some weight off?

I just got away from a five hour picnic with his other brother, Fulla S*it. Fulla married a native American. They had two sons, Loaduh and Watta.

Something reminds me of Daylight Stupid Time. This ridiculous messing with clocks and claiming to have more time.
