As Bruce, Bruce and Bruce say in Monty Python's "Philosopher's
Song":
"There's nothin' Nietszche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising
of the wrist...
Socrates himself was permanently pissed..."

Indeed. I couldn't put my clothes in the tallboy without
cracking up. Of course, I don't put my clothes in the closet
anyway--DH is threatening to box them up after having walked
over them for the last few months. "Leave me alone, I have a
*stratified* clothing storage system! Don't persecute me!"

> Dear Melissa: It's counter-clockwise. The faux paux I really hate the most is when someone says: It's so fun, instead of It's so much fun. Drives me crazy. Actually I shouldn't say this. Now Martha at the end of all her e-mail posts is going to say"It's so fun" I know it<G> Debby S.<sarg...@injersey.com>

restroom/loo

convenience/dunny
