Why is that? (Commentary)
A while ago, the people I work for got a gazebo erected in the break area - and they cleared the ground under it, and covered it with a sheet of black plastic to keep the grass from growing underneath...
Now it's 2 weeks later - and the grass is growing up between the boards! Said floor boards are about 12 - 18 inches above the ground, so the grass must be on steroids or something to have done that so fast....
Explanation?
Grass only grows well where it isn't supposed to.
It's like housepaint -
You give up two weekends to paint a house, knowing that in two or three years, all that pretty new paint is going to be peeling and falling off of the walls except the paint you spilled on the sidewalk...
-THAT stuff is on there forever!
And then there is this from George Carlin:
What is with -
People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.
I know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?
People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Excuse me? What good is a friggin cake if you can't eat it?
When people say "It's always in the last place you look".
Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?"
No bonehead, I paid $9.00 to come to the theatre and stare at the friggin ceiling up there. What did you come here for?
People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"
Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya buddy???
When something is "new and improved", which is it?
If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
When a cop pulls you over and then asks if you know how fast you were going?
He/She should know, they friggin pulled me over...
When people say "Life is short." What the hell?? Life is the longest thing that anyone ever friggin does!! What are they telling me? Are they going to do something that takes longer than life?
When people ask "Can I BORROW some toilet paper?"
Sure, but please don't return it!
When you are waiting for the bus and someone ask you "Did the bus come yet?"
-If the bus came I wouldn't be standing here, would I?!??
