Writing versus speaking
Headline on the news:
...parts of the midwest were socked with pea- and marble-sized hail. How I heard it: ...parts of the midwest were socked with pee, and marble-sized hail.

Hey, these Midwestern thunderstorms get pretty scary, man. I've almost soaked myself with pee several times during the big Spring outbreaks...
Oh, wait...I see that it said "socked". Hell, I can't even *read* stuff without screwing it up.

The other day I thought I heard a weather reporter say "nipple-sized" hail. I guess it was actually nickel-sized. But that made me wonder why they never sway "nipple-sized" hail.
Just wondering. Timo

My babe often enjoys a Dickens' Cider. Nothing like a big ol' Dickens' Cider at the end of a long day.

oft times when a male customer comes in and won;t make a decision to buy the car with out his wife, we ask him to bring his wife back so we can dicker a little more.
