What Life Has Taught Me!

[Phil Carter]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

[c.d.]

Most women do not like having their breasts referred to as hooters.

Culture is usually used as an excuse for doing something stupid, sexist, racist, or ill-mannered. It is also used by apologists for others because it's easier than thinking.

I'm really enjoying this thread! Here's a few of my own experiences of life:

Never stand in the sea up to your chest while facing inland on a very windy day.

Do not assume that you can stop/alight from a bicycle as gracefully as when you were young after a 30 year break.

Do not have a fit of the giggles when your husband presents you with a pot of Gerberas. He will be hurt.

Love
Carol

Lessons

These are just the sort of thing I meant. Keep them coming!

Love this thread.

Actually, the only thing I've learned from life is that if people say: "Let me be perfectly honest...." invariably, they aren't.

Here we are - well it's a similar story anyway. May even have a grain of truth in it. Along with the potato.

Tried that, Bob, but the A&E department wouldn't oblige. Too busy trying to extract ketchup bottles apparently - excuses, excuses.

[Bob Hinton]

Oh really...

Life has taught me always to expect the unexpected - such as naked vicars falling onto ketchup bottles while adjusting their curtain tracks.

Love,

Caz
