<p>A friend of mine and I in hs were cruising the strip on Clearwater Beach one night and had another car with some fellers in it cut us off on the road. So I gave them the “finger”. At the next light one asked us if we had shot them a bird. I replied, (as the light changed) “No, idiot. It was a bat. Birds don’t fly at night”.</p>
<p>My buddy remembered this quip twenty plus years later and told my wife, who was apparently unaware, at that point, she’d married a serial smart alec. Oops. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>similar wise-guy story-
When I was in HS I went down to the cafeteria to get a snack (they had these really good soft chocolate chip cookies… yumm). Anyway, I digress. The cafeteria was right below an office that we used for one of our extra curricular activities. Anyway, when I was in the cafeteria, a rather large, intimidating-looking guy came up to me and tried to bum a quarter off me. When he said “hey- ya got a quarter?” I replied, without skipping a beat, “Sure. You got change for a twenty?” I turned around and ran upstairs as fast as I could before he realized I was being a smart-alec. When he did, he came tearing after me. I hid in the back part of our office, leaving several bewildered people in the front office to deal with that very p-o’ed guy!</p>
<p>“n’yuck, n’yuck, n’yuck”… (well, Curly sorta sounded like he was saying that as he did that thing snapping his fingers into his palms, and skipping backwards)</p>
<p>I always thought it was hoot that they sold American University t-shirts and sweatshirts in France in the wrong colors. Yeah, I really want an orange and black Yale t-shirt!</p>
<p>But I couldn’t resists checking out the new website. That’s a $1500 pistol! :eek:</p>
<p>Oh my bad. In the land of Yookla I must call it “method Champenoise…”</p>
<p>Reminds of the first time I ever had champagne in France. A glass or two of Perrier Jouet on New Year’s Eve. That bottle with the lilies climbing up the side. I wonder how it would do as a flight with giant pig.</p>
hahaha. I’d have loved it!! My s loved his tshirt that we found in Kmart. It was a Georgia Tech tshirt but said “Georiga Tech”. We loved the subtle irony (though we are sure it was some third word country’s typo in their sweat shop).
And mathmom-- After all I did to preserve your 6969?? You didn’t even peek at the hog??? Tsk tsk…</p>
<p>gotta admit I was curious about the 6969. Mathmom, we gotta watch out for you. Come on sit in the booth in the back, in the corner in the dark with the rest of us barflys.</p>
<p>Mootie and the TSFH, Congratualtions!!!</p>
<p>Question: what do we call him in the interim, until he becomes the college man from hell (but I think he will be passing on his crown).</p>
<p>I just posted the "do’s and dont’s " for hosting a post prom party. Is that something productive? Actually, I am about to go into my office to get some work done. On the holiday no less… pour me a double before I go…</p>
<p>And congrats to mathmom-- for the big 7000!! Drinks are on you?? :D</p>
