  • That is so much more entertaining than the usual resignation. True or not, who cares, its what we'd all love to have the gall to say...
  • That is funny, although a little unnerving! I was in the control tower at Logan once with my mother and I was so surprised at how relaxed everyone was, I really thought it would be alot more intense.

  • I love it, Dan. I used to work collections for a utility company and some folks thought this particular utility was a god given right that should be free, and how dare we shut them off. It always blew my mind that someone could think like that.
  • I wish.

  • I am so out of the loop when it comes to sports, the only reason I watched the playoffs this past fall was because it was still warm enough to sleep with the windows open and my neighbors were rowdy, I figured if I can't sleep, might as well watch t…
  • Is that what that whole thing is all about? Baseball? #-o I've been asked about this rivalry between New York and Boston and I can't imagine why such a thing would exist, Boston is not a city that tries to compete. We're here if you want to visit, …
  • Thats a frappe!
  • Chari, I was born here and I have never in my life even seen a milkshake. I'm not really sure what it is.
  • I must admit I do not know what that is. I have had a very sweet dense dark brown bread though, I think it might be the same thing. Its really really good and it I've had it with beans. When its hot and you put butter on it - mmmm- heaven!
  • You have not experienced St Patrick's Day until you've spent it in Boston...trust me on that one. I'm staying home tomorrow, we're expecting a nor'easter tonight and I'm in a wimpy "I don't want to walk through ten inches of snow" mood so I might j…
  • Ok, I've gone from this and "How to use the Forum" and now I know what you are all talking about. I read the very first gay marriage comment, before it apparently exploded, which I missed. As soon as I read it I thought to myself, this may get ugly,…

  • Two things I've used it for- unsticking a stuck lock and removing the sticky stuff from a price tag from the front of a mirror.
  • Interesting stuff...I'm going to have to pay closer attention to the statue of Paul Revere on my way home today. I think the horse has one leg in the air. I walk by it atleast twice a day, you'd think I'd know for sure! #-o

  • I've heard the one about women having better hearing, something about being able to differentiate between a baby's cries. >>Bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers were all invented by women. I completely beli…

  • I'm 34 and I remember some of these. I also remember smelling the newly copied papers as soon as they came off the mimeograph machine at school. Loved that smell, little did we know we were killing brain cells!
  • I remember telling my nephew that we did not have remote controls when I was young, he really thought I was joking. He could not imagine having to get up and change the channel. When I was little we did not have wet wipes, my Nana used to keep a we…
  • To be perfectly honest, I can't fathom living in a house without a bathtub or a shower (she had neither, by the way) any more than my 13 year old nephew can fathom life before remote controls and cordless phones. Interesting you are so offended, a…
  • I agree too. My mother often tells us how she grew up without a toilet in the apartment and no shower at all. I don't think she's looking down at me or is saying I'm spoiled, she's just telling it like it is. There is 15 years between me and my sist…
  • Is eating whatever I want and losing weight a super power?
  • Thats great Don. Kind of scary though, too. If all mothers say the same thing then I know what I'll sound like when I'm a mother! x:o
  • I have seen this before and it is supposedly true but who knows whether it really is. Either way, its one of the funniest things I've read and, having been a service rep, I can appreciate dealing with those customers who are dumb as stumps.
  • You said it Mwild!
  • Funny list, Don. I love the Al Gore book!
  • That is very interesting, I always wondered where that came from.

  • I'll have to pas this along to my math whiz friend for an explanation. Math is absolutely NOT my strong point. There has to be one, right?

  • I, too, did the same as Ray.
  • Its a little hard because two people may be responding to the same thing at the same time, so it doesn't always make sense. But it is fun!
  • He pulled somehting out of his pocket and yelled (like a girl)"Wait, don't shoot, I"m not really a union steward, I'm...."
  • Before I could answer, the CEO, union steward and a crying employee come barging into my office.
