A teacher asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence. Mary said, "My family went to the New York City Zoo, and we saw all the animals. It was fascinating."

The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted the word "'fascinate.'"

Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to the Philadelphia Zoo and saw the animals. I was fascinated."

The teacher said, "Good, but I wanted the word 'fascinate.'"

Little Billy raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because Billy was noted for is bad language. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate" so she called on him.

Billy said, "My sister has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten 8."

Hope everyone has a fun weekend! :D :) :D :)

Well little billy with a hand full of smarties or M & M's if you like is walking down the back stairs toward his mother hanging out the washing on the cloths line. At the top step he pops a few M & M's into his mouth pats the cat and takes another step.

At the next step he does exactly the same thing and his mother sees him. He continues doing this on every step so out of curiosity his mother asks him what he thinks he is doing.

Billy replies I'm doing exactly what you claim dad does "Popping Pills, Patting Pussy and moving on!"

Have a good week end Guys. :D :) :D :)

How Cold is it??? Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!!!!

In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and
many freighters carried iron cannons.
Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls.

It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon,
but they had to find a way to prevent
them from rolling about the deck.

The best storage method devised was a
square based pyramid with one ball on top, resting
on four resting on nine which rested on sixteen.

Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked
in a small area right next to the cannon.

There was only one problem...how
to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling
from under the others.

The solution was a metal plate called a "Monkey"
with 16 round indentations.
But, if this plate was made of iron,
the iron balls quickly would rust to it.

The solution to the rusting problem was to make
"Brass Monkeys."

Few landlubbers realize that brass
contracts much more and much
faster than iron when chilled.

Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far,
the brass indentations would shrink so much
that the iron cannon
balls would come right off the monkey.

Thus, it was quite literally, "Cold enough to freeze
the balls off a brass monkey".
(And all this time, you thought that was an
improper expression, didn't you?)

it's one of the first things that a USNA Midshipman learns during Plebe Summer.

(Or, at least it was in 1964.)

by oz_media

In Cowes,I.O.W., during the Royal Yacht Races they allowed sea cadets and ATC to tour some of the former military ships.

They also shared the story as a 'myth' of the origin. But thye showed us that the canon balls were actually stacked many different ways, the most common was similar to how bowling balls are stacked in a rack, a wooden rack though.

So while I HAVE heard the brass monkey story before, it was shared as a military myth of the origin.

A Charlotte, NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars,
then insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month, having
smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having
made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim
against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were "lost in a series of small
fires."
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the
man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

The lawyer sued and WON! (Stay with me.) In delivering the ruling, the
judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The
judge stated nevertheless that the lawyer "held a policy from the company
in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also
guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what
is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance
company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of
the rare cigars lost in the "fires."
NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested
on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from
previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of
intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months
in jail and a $24,000 fine.

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal
Lawyers Award Contest.

This story has been around for at least 4 decades.

Does anyone have any proof that it's factual?

Connelly, of course!

Fourteen things I hate abour EVERYBODY!

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I know where my watch is pal, where the f**k is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". F**king right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the f**k would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f**king floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

8. When people say "life is short". What the f**k?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever f**king does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Kn*b head?

10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?

11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.

12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.

13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering...... It has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank looks. Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you f**king McTosser.

14. When your involved in a accident and someone asks 'are you alright?' Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.

As I read through I had his voice in my head, even his mannerisms. What a RIOT!

As for the bus stops, in Vancouver they have bus schedules in little tubes wrapped around the post.

You can be standin gthere with a dozen other people, and people will walk up and ask you how long until the bus comes? I usually say "I am hoping sometime in the next couple of hours."

I mean, this is a pretty big city, the longest wait between most busses is 20 minutes, less in the daytime. When there is a dozen people lined up, do you REALLY think one JUSt left?

If you are waiting for THAT bus, does it make ANY difference if it will be 15 minutes or 30? What is your OTHER option?
Even if you said it was an hour, they'd STILL sit down and wait for it?
But the BIG pisser is when you are at a bus loop/exchange. The bus is sitting off to the side, the driver is in the seat, ALL the people are lined up at the stop and someone walks upto the front of the line, checks th schedule on the pole then looks all surprised and happy when it pulls up in a second or two. Then they just stand by the pole and butt in line as the people start getting on.

People aren't too clever they are pretty damn stupid and aggravating really.

Sid Needham walked into an insurance office and asked for a job.
"We don't need anyone" the manager told him.
"You can't afford not to hire me. I can sell anything to anyone, anytime, anywhere!"
"Well we have two prospects that none of our agents has been able to sell. If you can sell

just one, you have a job."
Old Sid was gone about two hours, and returned and handed them not one, but two checks, one

for a $50,000.00 policy and another for $100,000.00.
"How in the world did you do that ?" they asked.
"I told you I'm the world's best salesman, I can sell anything to anyone, any time any

where!"
"OK. Did you get a urine sample?" the manager asked.
"What urine sample?" asked Sid.
"If you sell a policy over $49,999.00 the company requires a urine sample. Here, take these

two bottles and go back and get urine samples."
Sid dashed out, thrilled with his success and eager to complete the job. He was gone about 5

hours and they were fixing to close when in he walks in with two five gallon buckets, one in

each hand. He sets the buckets down, and reaches in his shirt pocket and produces two

bottles of urine, and sets them on the desk and says, "Here's Mr. Swanson's and this one is

Mr. Frieden's."
"That is good" they said, "but what is in those two buckets?"
"Well, I passed by the Holiday Inn and they were having The City Teachers Convention, so I

stopped and sold them a group policy!"

USNA 68 (same class as Ollie North).

My Plebe year saw Staubach in his last year as quarter-back for Navy. Lost to Army; the bus ride back from Philly was doleful for Plebes, since we knew to expect plenty of extra "come-arounds" starting the next day.

by sleepin'dawg

Our military colleges and universities are tri-service affairs. I was army but did a lot of tdy with the Hudson High crowd.
Still think Staubach is one of the most under rated QBs ever. Montana, OK; Elway, maybe; Staubach, he was the Dallas Cowboys. He was to Landry what Brady is to Bilichek.
Knew Ollie and still think he kept the faith and carried the can for others.

by deepsand

Off the field Staubach was a prima donna; he felt himself exempt from the Academy's rules of conduct. He flouted them; and, got away with it!

For example, he frequently formed up for mess out of uniform, in untidy dress, etc.. Once, when asked by his CO why he had not shaved, his response was that he shaved the previous day!

As for Ollie, he was definitely the good soldier. He followed orders, and refused to blame his superiors in an effort to escape the consequnces. Whether or not one agrees with his actions, one must accord him respect for how he accepted responsibilty for them & the consequences.

by deepsand

While I make no claim for or against the veracity of the item under discussion, I will note that:

1) The referenced citation claims the origin to be unknown;
2) I have read various naval sources which support the here purported origin; and,
3) That the first utterance of the phrase in question may or may not have been contemporaneous with the use of the device referenced is irrelevant to the question of whether or not said device may have, in the author's mind, given rise to the phrase.

I'd say that the jury is still out on this one.

I used to piss my mum off something nasty on the big 'weekend grocery shop' when I was a kid.

I have ALWAYS liked to play on words, so as a kid I found it hilarious that we visited a supermarkst.

We'd be walking around the store and I'd shout out LOOK MUM !! Is this ever a SUPER MARKET!!!

We'd be at the checkout and I'd tell the cashier that I really had a great time wandering around the 'SUPER market'!

Yeah, I was a sarcastic and lippy kid too, did you ever doubt it though? :D

...did I doubt that you were a smart-mouthed, sarcastic, lippy kid. The wit does seem to have sharpened somewhat over the years though. :0)
