Possibly because of stupid attendance policies, not excusing the child from school even with a doctor’s note. I almost failed due to absences, so I can understand where they are coming from.</p>
<p>I understand how abortion can be considered a woman’s decision, and legally that is so.
But I also don’t understand how anyone would terminate the potential of something that can grow up to be a living, thinking, being. It seems a gross reversion to the “Might makes right” days, when the strongest killed those who were weaker.
This isn’t political posturing or anything; I just don’t get it. Nonetheless, I am not trying to start a flame war, as undoubtedly there are many who “don’t get” my position.</p>
<p>It’s a pun based on the word “bar”. You expect it to refer to a bar as in a drinking establishment, but he says ouch and you realize it’s referring to a man bumping into metal bar like a crow bar or something.</p>
<p>Some more puns for you:</p>
<p>I lost my job at the frozen orange juice factory because I couldn’t concentrate.</p>
<p>The dentist joined the army because he like to drill.</p>
<p>momsdream - "And, how about people who hit their kids to make their kids stop crying? " LOL!</p>
<p>I was at a photographer’s when a mother and her kids were having their picture taken. One of the kids, around 4 years old or so, was upset and crying. So the mother whacked the poor kid right in the face, and yelled, “now quit crying and smile”.</p>

<li> Rap/hip-hop</li>
<li> Watching golf on TV</li>
<li> Watching poker on TV</li>
<li> Reality shows in general</li>
<li> Why people persist in telling you what they dreamed last night or telling you about some golf shot they made. In both cases you just have to be there in person to appreciate it. </li>
<li> Why anyone would care about a celebrity’s opinion on politics or any other thing outside their field of expertise.</li>
<li> Yeah, and I don’t get Paris Hilton either.</li>
</ol>
<p>coureur, watch “8 mile” and you might get rap a little bit more… I love rap & hip hop, but not all of it equally.</p>
<p>I don’t get florid romance novels by people with made up porn-star names.</p>
<p>I don’t get goatees.</p>
<p>I don’t get why two nice middle-aged people of the same sex who decide to marry after 25 years together threatens western civilization and life as we know it-- but a rock star can marry their back up dancer in Vegas behind 2 bottles of tequila, get divorced five weeks later, and that’s just fine.</p>
<p>I don’t get how anyone who believes in the supremacy, loftiness, magnificence, and inscrutability of God could possibly imagine that they have certain knowledge of God’s exact words, acts, thoughts & wishes.</p>
<p>I don’t get why when you have 500 channels there’s still nothing good on tv.</p>
I work at a school and we excuse absences for students as long as their parents send in a note explaining that the child was ill. If the child goes to the doctor, we ask that they supply us with a note from the doctor. After a certain amount of excessive absences, we require a note from the doctor. We do have a number of parents who lie … say like last Friday when a mom instructed her child to lie to the teacher and tell her she had a stomachache so she could go home. They had company from out of town and the mom wanted the girl at home. Wow, some role model. The child told the teacher the truth. The mother (a.k.a. “the liar” and poor role model) signed the child out as “ill”. Obviously, her early dismissal was marked unexcused. I’m not even saying it was wrong to take the child out of school … that is certainly the parent’s prerogative … I am saying that it was inexcusable for the parent to lie and even worse to ask her child to lie.</p>
<p>Didya’ hear the one about the dyslectic that walked into a bra?</p>
<p>I don’t get bras with straps worn under tops with spaghetti straps and I don’t get low jeans with thongs pulled up high enough to show them off.</p>
<p>There was a funny article in our school paper titled “Why Paris Hilton Must Die.” It called her “an avatar for spoiled rich girls.”</p>
<p>“I don’t get how anyone who believes in the supremacy, loftiness, magnificence, and inscrutability of God could possibly imagine that they have certain knowledge of God’s exact words, acts, thoughts & wishes.”</p>
<p>I would imagine that you could piece together SOME of God’s thoughts & wishes…i.e., don’t nuke the Earth into pieces…</p>
<p>Yeah, fundamentalism is wacky, but religion isn’t. It’s hard sometimes to distinguish the two. Fundamentalism can be seen as believing in something for the sake of antagonizing others, while religion is believing in something for the sake of benefiting others.</p>
<p>I live in San Francisco and have seen it all but, there are still some things I just don’t get: </p>
<p>oh yeah, this will get me in trouble</p>
<p>gold teeth covers, those things that are like braces, but removable, all for looks, or gold capped teeth, ewwww, girls were getting these for the prom</p>
<p>big big big SUVs that take up 2 parking spots and hog the road likes buses</p>
