If my feet smell, and my nose runs, does that mean I'm upside down ... or just confused ?

If a dog barfs, why does he eat it right back up?

Post by **Darb** » Tue May 11, 2004 10:06 am

The easiest answer is that dogs never pass up a hot meal. However, it's deeper than that. It's a basic truism in life that men and dogs are pigs at heart ... but since we're not actually ruminants, we have to periodically toss & re-chew our "cookies" for optimal digestive health. In order to stimulate that response, men sometimes resort to binge drinking, whereas dogs rely on the occasional mouthful of lawn clipping and/or dried cat turds. Personally, I prefer the alcohol.

Post by **Darb** » Tue May 11, 2004 11:24 am

The custom has evolved over the centuries. Nowadays, it's considered polite to "fart & waft", so that people don't have to bend over to get a good whiff.

Why does my right shoe lace always come untied first, despite the fact that I tie it just the same as my left one ... tighter in fact ?
