Nope... I want a damn urinal. With a little cake in it. Been asking for years. Trumped every time... but I get other stuff every time we move as a concession/compromise prize. So, it has been worth it.

Noodle, a friend of mine told me the story about a friend of his, lots of beer, a very black South Dakota night, and a fenceline. An electrified fenceline -- 12 volts direct current off a storage battery. To conserve current, the fence is fitted with a switch that turns the current on and off automatically, spending only some of its time actually energized.

It switched on right when he was about halfway through getting rid of quite a bit of beer. The DC locked him open.

Friend learned a whole new meaning to the phrase "piss and moan."

As for this Norwegian affair, what was it Mark Twain said of school boards?

That's what I was wondering. Would male teachers have to accompany the boys to the bathroom and stare sternly at them while the kids accomplished the act? Would they install videocams in the bathroom, so a security guard could monitor the kids? What would be the penalty for a boy who stood up to pee? What's wrong with having the janitor hit the bathrooms 3 times a day? Also, boys and girls sharing the same bathrooms now? Maybe I'm getting out of touch in my old age, but that DOES seem like an embarassing situation for all parties concerned.

I'm pretty glad I'm australian. :)

So why the little Union Jack in the corner of your flag ?

That's a particularly stupid question buddug. If you need an explanation you'll have to get it from someone else because I'm pretty tired of your tripe.
