Wow! Page 132 and still going strong. We sure know how to hang out. :)
I'd like to take a quick opportunity to yet again say how glad I am to take part of your company (albeit in a virtual manner) on a more or less daily basis. And as many have said before in here, I feel that this particular thread has been great as a way of getting to know some of you guys much, much better!
So, in short (as if I've ever been brief, right), thanks everyone for being who you are and for sharing your time with the rest of us!

Wasn't aware the Irish were allowed such titles as "Mr." and "Mrs."!! Looks like the ol' homeland is making some progress...!!
***
We got tired of shouting "Oi. You!" and poking the person with a stick.
Finally got quoted by Joakim!
I'll celebrate by telling you my favourite joke:
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he
says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."
Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.
Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this." And he produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. It's bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager; and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and reports: "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you, and he wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"
So the bank manager looks back at her and says: "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
Classic.

Damn your eyes! You just made me laugh out loud at work! You're going to get me fired! You don't want to see an unemployed Irishman do you??

Here's my favourite joke. This guy walks into his psychiatrist's office completely naked but wrapped from head to toe in saran wrap. The doctor takes a look at hin and says, "I can clearly see your nuts."
(Note: this joke works better verbally so you don't have to be driven insane by the incorrect use of your/you're)

Hi Victor!
So, doctor says to patient: "I'm afraid you're going to have to stop masturbating"
"Doctor! Why?!"
"Because I'm still examining you."

See you try to look so scary and you are just a big softy, I feel the same way Joakim! What a cool thing to be able to get to know some really great people, from all over the world.
Don the baby is sooooo cute!
To those that wanted to know how to get that new baby smell:
Dreft detergent will get anyone smelling like a baby.
I am on a short vacation, my son is out for fall break, so I can't post as much, but I couldn't let the whole day go by without saying hey!

Ah well, wait long enough, say enough stuff, and it's bound to happen. ;)
Seriously though, I'm starting to feel like an institution here by now... every time I quote someone I don't normally quote I'm seeing happy remarks (and when I fail to quote Jodi or Al, sobs echo through these virtual halls).
Liked the joke, btw. :)

Me too. That eye is REALLY staring me down. I swear to dog.
Jodi wrote:

Nah... sometimes I just happen to do. :)
Jodi cointinued:
"and you are just a big softy, I feel the same way Joakim! What a cool thing to be able to get to know some really great people, from all over the world."
Not just (I'd take argument with that) but there's certainly a lot of big softy to me (almost wrote "in me" but I'm not going to give Al a field day).
And obviously Wayne is going meta-disturbing on us, with his auto-disturbing tendencies (avatar-wise).

And I think I needed this thread badly... the autumn grayness and the moist-laden winds aren't really bringing my mood to the upper peaks of joy. I'd even be saying I'm feeling a touch blue if it wasn't so darn gray. :/
