Uranus........
09.11.07 (6:09 pm) [edit]
I find myself after a long day at work driving home lost in deep deep thought. I set my truck….1500 Dodge Ram on auto-pilot and begin to think up some off the wall things.
Example:
& nbsp; &n bsp; A proctologist or a Doctor. You be the judge….
“I can see rings around Uranus.”
Or
“May I cut in and ‘Google’ Uranus?”
My fifteen minute drive home is spent cracking myself up. It beats the alternative to actually paying attention to my driving.

Yes, I know. They've taken the giggle factor out of it just like with harassment; it is now...hare-es-ment. Oh, we must protect the poor children from bouts of silliness.

Heck, I have more fun with it now then I did back in my school days. My wife's favorite saying is; "Please do not encourage his behavior."

I think maybe you and my DH were twins in a former life LOL. ***sigh*** he has taught 1/2 pint how to burp outrageously loud every single time she drinks anything at all. Dinner is so much fun now......

*I really can spell that word correctly,
but thought it would add 'character' to a post by a character!
Plus, it was hiding behind 'protect your nuts' and I didn't see it.
((hugs))

Sounds like good times. I'm more apt to pass gas than to belch. More to enjoy :)

And kind sir, I'm sure you are just the man who would cause a ruckus.
You are ex-military, and at the time I forget what branch, and what you did, but you must be familiar with he movie, Top Gun, right? (my hubby was in Air Force)!
Well, I absolutely love that movie ~ I could watch those flight scenes over and over, well heck I do watch them, over and over. One of the best movies IMHO!

It's meeee. I was an MP, a dog handler for 8 years. I was a narcotics detector dog handler. Helped certify bomb dogs, drug dogs and patrol dogs when I was finding large quantity of drugs. Good times.

Tough job ~ that narcotics stuff!
Kudos for working in that field ~ and you must become very attached to the dogs, I'd imagine. Real partners for sure!
You did a good thing there!

We used to break down words in language arts:
Ass u me
Har ass ment
stuff like that, and then the principal caught wind and told the teacher not to do it, teacher got mad, and didn't hardly teach us nuffin, we're a bunch of unedjamacated, people here in jersey. I loved that teacher. But then we were banned from saying uranus, then we weren't even allowed to bring paperclips to school. It was rediculous, all because he was scared what we would do in our free time.

It's a sad state of affairs when you ban the youth of America from planting the seeds of creativity. I got one word for those kinds of administrators...........
Jackass!

I like your squirrel theme.
I have two I have tamed to eat out of my hand.
They're very busy now and I worry that they cross roads...

Sounds like you were an only child like me. I have the ability to entertain myself for hours. And no shiny objects are necessary.

I have two older brothers and one younger brother. I became more imaginative as I get older. I love the shock value, people look at me and think; did he just do that? :D

LOL! SO many replies!!! I might aswell add one too! I have a long drive every day from UCLA to home....ugh one hour. Although I take a vanpool, it's fun having people crack you up with their stories! ^_^ Ahhh, how this industrial world has brought to us some unusual form of communication and entertainment.
