What Life Has Taught Me!

[Robert]

CD, in Britain a hooter is a nose. So we might say, "That bloke's got a big hooter." I guess in the US this would mean he was a one-breasted transsexual who could only afford half the operation.

Hi Robert,

Here in the U.S., there is a chain of restaurants called "Hooters." They feature large breasted women in scanty shorts and tops. I suppose that name would raise some eyebrows across the pond.

Smashing a beer can into your forehead while simultaneously letting out a huge belch does not impress women as much as you would think.

I've learned that by the time you gain the experience and wisdom necessary, you are no longer able to apply it for good use.

On a Saturday night, never, ever think "Why yes, I think it'd be a marvellous idea to ride in the shopping trolley down this extremely steep hill to cut some distance off my walk."

Hey, I've done this! About a decade ago, I think it was. We wanted to achieve maximum velocity. But the shopping trolley didn't go all straight.

Hello all,

Life has taught me...

That the window one looks through is never, ever crystal clear....
That stained-glass windows presented are not always the answers to the true picture....
That a crack in a pane of glass in a window has origins that aren't always innocent....
That an open window allows for freedom of view.

best wishes

Phil

That often the view through a window and the view through prison bars are indisinguishable

Hi

Except for the bars no doubt.

I would like to start a thread to list all those things that you have learned not at your parents’ knee or from a book, but from life itself. I’ll start the ball rolling.

One thing life has taught me is when slicing a bagel don’t put your thumb through the hole to steady it!

Over to you!

I read a short piece in the newspaper once that claimed that a significant number of the Saturday and Sunday morning Emergency Room trips were because people did precisely this.

I learned never to take a Goody's Headache Powder and wash it down with coffee.

Except for the bars no doubt.

If looking at things superficially, yes.

It's just the hats that make them look like they have.

Not to laugh when the husband reveals his holiday wardrobe at the beginning of the vacation.
Not to say, for ****'s sake, very loudly on the first day of a new job whilst figuring out their ridiculous systems.
Not to assume that, if your skirt is knee length at the front, it's the same length at the back. And if you will assume it, to make sure that you wear capacious knickers.

Oh, Claire, please don't discourage the wearing of skirts. Around where I live, all the women are wearing Lulu Lemon pants all the time. One hardly gets to see a nice bit of feminine thigh, even when it's windy. Me, I miss mini-skirts; but I suppose they aren't coming back any time soon. Too bad. I always thought that they made the wearer and the viewer have a better day.
