Chruch

On a church billboard: "Missing something?  Come to chruch!"

I figured I could really mess with them by going in and asking for assistance with my spelling.

Tongue Twister

Here's a new tongue twister I came up with. "Hester of Hesperus is estrous."  Say that one three times fast.

Names

I have always thought that sexually transmitted diseases sound nasty.  Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Herpes sound like something that I wouldn't want to catch.  But stick with me a minute.  There is one STD that has some potential.  Imagine, if you will, a parent who wants to give their child a unique name.  In doing so, they name their first daughter "Chlamydia".   It's unique, beautiful, and shortens quite nicely to "Clap". 

Description

If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?  If you were to overhear someone talking about you, what would they say?  "Oh, that's David.  He's _________." 

I don't have a word for myself.

Clare

My three-year-old Clare just told me, "Dad, I'm not sure if these are my pants."  I had never heard that before.  Whose pants were they, then?  How did she get them on? Does this happen often? Did they suddenly sneak up on her while she was unaware?  She never told.

Symbiotica

I've recently discovered something known (by me) as "Symbiotica".  Symbiotica is the graphic representation of people in mutually beneficial relationships.  For example, look no further than a waiter at a restaurant.  He serves your food, and if he does it well, he gets paid well, and you get good service.  Symbiotica is not a codependent relationship, as that is destructive behavior, not beneficial. 

Give it a try.  If done right, you can really get people off just by giving them what they want, and get what you want in return. 

Interesting Fellows

While out on a date with Trudy and some friends, we were sitting at a larger table with several empty seats.  A man sat down at the end of our table and said nothing.  We were conversing with several people, and nobody mentioned it. 

He sat and watched us for about a half hour, then got up and left. 

I discovered later that he was a member of FSCA (Future Serial Killers of America).  That helped explain quite a bit.

Graffiti

On the Rugged and Ready Super Studded condom dispenser in the mens' restroom: "Rubbers Ed don't need."
