because whoever founded the country had an obsession with shoes.

how come the mormons 1) have the second largest supply of weapons and ammo and 2) are hiding it all the under their central church?

Because they were told there would be an excellent opportunity for arms sales during the second coming and there was no place else to stockpile so many weapons.

If it is so great living in the city, how come nobody smiles? :( :D

You win of course by inflicting enough pain on others to get them to quit, and if you smile while doing that you get bonus points. :mrgreen:

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around. Do the other trees laugh at it? :lol: Does the ground scream in pain when the roots rip out of it? :o

That's 2 questions:

1) If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, do the other trees laugh at it?

I'm not allowed to answer that - the trees swore me to secrecy.

2) Does the ground scream in pain when the roots rip out of it ?

Ditto above.

Why do tins of mixed cocktail nuts often have "Warning: may contain peanuts" on the back label ... isn't that sort of the point of buying it ?

p.s. Aunflin uses cooking spray for other than baking ... har har ... wimp. :P

That label's for the same people who need the warning on a cup of coffee: Caution, contents are HOT! :slap:

It is a marketing ploy to get guys to buy them, no man in his right mind would wear a “man purseâ€

You better just stand back and watch where you step because you get great pieces of funk every where.


When Jim C. put time in the bottle, did he patent the process?

I am not supposed to say this because it was during a secret meeting, but he let it be known to the few present that pink was in fact his favorite color, thus he chose pink. :wink:

Teflon is actually the byproduct (read that as 'excrement') of a short-lived genetically engineered type of fungus. Scientists have been worried for years that the fungus used in manufacturing non-stick pans will someday escape and coat all inanimate objects everywhere in the world with teflon. Nasty stuff. :shock:

Since the trend in food these days seems to be towards supersizing, how come chicken eggs havent been replaced with osterich eggs at the supermarket ?

Because it would be a daunting task to carry a carton of a dozen osterich eggs--people would be too scared to buy them! :shock:

Who made who? :P

Well, Brazilian males have an overwhelming fear of emasculation and hence have armored genitalia to defend against such. :roll:

Why do I associate with you people? :P
