Maybe should have gone in "general discussion".....i don't know, not really funny so much, just kind of cool. I suck at picking threads for ambiguous posts. Feel free to move (as if you needed my permission)...

I think that the post is perfectly fine where it is; it's just a much gentler type of humour; but humour none the less and much appreciated at that.

I am an expert steak knife licker. Otherwise, all good points. And relatively funny too. Thanks for the post!

i like # 7 and 8. 7 is just plain funny and 8 is so so so damn true!!!

Dave Barry is indeed the man.

Anybody else remember that Seinfeld? :)

Heh heh- I think I've seen this one before. Still great stuff though.

I just noticed this....#'s 2 and 12. Apparently the writer's 50 years of wisdom has yet too....well.....

#16. Appropriate comma usage eludes even 50 years of wisdom

Liked the final thought

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

I pick my teeth with my steak knife. Wusthoff.
