Just be careful and you'll be fine. A childhood friend of mine's grandfather used to burn the hair off his arms with a burning rolled up newspaper. Watching him do that was the highlight of our day.

I thought they printed the news on stone back then

Sorry I though pubic hair was also the term used for your armpit hair. Apparently that is axillary hair.

This was a couple of years after Gutenberg perfected his printing press.

Weird? They didn't have scissors back then?

No, those came a few years later during the westward movement across the country. Although they had been around for centuries, we didn't get any in Tennessee until the 1700's.

Weird. I thought you were only 60 or so years old. I never knew you were over 300 years old.

I was here when man gave names to all the animals.

Damn, if I hadn't had a beer, I'd go to the store and get more hummus. I need to start making my own again.

Why did they call it a duck billed platypus?

 

[hmanvolfan]

What kind of store you get hummus at, da brothel?

 

[Slydell]

Why did they call it a duck billed platypus?

Because woodpecker billed platypus was taken.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Why did they call it a duck billed platypus?

Cause it has a bill like a duck, duh.

 

[Slydell]

The other kind of hummus. But, there is a need for that one in stores everywhere. I think there's a market for it. BJ's R Us.

Is naming something a platypus any weirder than naming something a hippopotamus?

No love stories for you. They all end very sadly. Muscle cars........you name it and I either had it or drove someone else's. Friend of mine bought a '66 Nove new. It had the 327/375 hp engine. Unfortunately, it still had the stock tires which were narrow. I dumped the clutch at 4000 RPM's and accidentally did a doughnut.

 

[hmanvolfan]

But I see your point. Is there a standard platypus?

Ask Slydesus...
