my 2nd funny questions 4 today...

skipple_20 @skipple_20 (33) 19 Aug 08

why do people point to thier wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where tha bathroom is?

3 responses

martindale I think that is a gripping question. It isn't casual like the time where you point faster and hit harder with pointed finger. We call it the pee pee dance. You just grip harder and run faster. Watch a buch of kids...they're pointing!

martindale I do feel that routine may be good in many ways, but I can honestly say that my IQ dropped 20 points when I had children. I was trapped at home watching children's shows over and over and over and over. I knew all of Barney's songs. When they got a little...

martindale First of all, as a parent, I feel that it is important to support my children in decisions they make regarding their love. There is a big risk in protesting too much. I think they could be put on the defensive for the boyfriend/girlfriend. It may be better...

martindale I like being a VIP to certain people, but I guess that is basically being a big fish in a little pond. It is also important to know what pond you want to be in. There are a lot of ponds I wouldn't want to dip my toe in. Fame is not appealing to me, but I...

martindale For attraction, rarely. I check my nose briefly several times a day, every time I go to the bathroom or need to blow it. I hardly ever do more than glance, as usually I don't need to look good, just clean. I also check my teeth after I eat, as pepper or green...

how do you know when you are in love?

martindale My normal answer would be; after the divorce. How long does it take to get over them? I think I know I'm in love by touch. Every piece of my body needs to feel their skin. It feels like my pores are drinking him in and his smell is good to me all the time....

martindale I believe it's global warming. The ozone is thinning or maybe it's just my aging skin. I have also become less tolerant to the extreme temperatures, both cold and hot. Here in Texas, we had a cold front yesterday and it was 92 degrees. It was 99 degrees or...

martindale I feel sorry for people that act like they are better than others. The reason they discriminate is because of the way they feel about themselves. Although that isn't what appears to be going on with the person, it is. Discrimination should be reserved for...
