Totally Useless Trivia And Stupid Sayings

the one about the gay cowboy who rode into town and shot up the sherrif.

they tried to arrest him, but his case was dismissed as he had apparently been well within the law..........

this was only after he had already escaped custody, as he found it easy to just pull himself through the bars of the jail.

When I was a kid, everything was simpler. Damn reincarnation. Being human is not as fun as being a goat. Social climbing has lost all meaning for me.

When people become too stupid to recognize an "enemy" then they deserve what the world will hand them. On a platter. I'll give you a hint. It has hair, at least one ear, holes where eyes used to be and a vacant cavity that used to serve as their brain container.

I was unhappy with the mood swings of my wife, so the other day I bought her a "mood" ring so I could monitor her moods.

I've discovered that when she's in a good mood, it turns green. When she's in a bad mood, it leaves a big fuccing red mark on my forehead.

Maybe next time i'll buy her a diamond.

In the age of big sails on big wooden ships, how did you know how fast you were going?

You tied a log to a rope that had knots tied in it every fathom. Then you dropped the log off the stearn of the ship and timed it for a minute as the rope slipped through your hand. When the minute expired, you immediately gripped the rope and counted the number of knots that had slipped through your hand. A good speed was considered to be between 10 and 15 "knots".

Then you wrote down the "log" info in a journal so you could do math and dead recon where you were and when you would be at some later point.


The next time you keep a "log" of info... think of the midshipman counting knots with his hand and writing down his hourly "log".

One I used to get wrong, it's tenterhooks not tenderhooks.
