Subj : Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Jun 29 2020 11:10:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Too bad I can't use that gas in the car. Otherwise, I'd buy DS> a pallet of Bush's Baked Beans, get the secret formula from DS> Duke, and tell OPEC what they can do with their prices. DS> I've never had Bush's Baked Beans, but I understand there DS> are several varieties, and they're really good. I've had them and worth the money as the occasional splurge when they're on a really good sale. The Hy-Vee brand usually fine as is, though sometimes 'doctor up' by adding chopped onion, maybe a little molasses or something. DS> Comedian Jeff Foxworthy said he and his wife watch these shows, DS> and if someone on Earth has a rare medical condition. On one, she DS> lamented "I've got it!! I have everyone of those symptoms!!". He DS> replied "You do NOT have testicular cancer...you don't even have DS> testiculars!!" BM> Just about! :) DS> Seriously, there are so many cancers that both genders have to DS> worry about. Some are common to both, and others just for one. I DS> doubt any family has escaped that scourge. Lumping all the various types of cancer together I would doubt also. BM> I'm an anal orifice, thankyouverymuch! DS> It reminds me of the joke where the guy was pulled over for DS> speeding. The cop asked "Where's the fire??", and the guy told DS> him "I'm late for work". The cop asked "OK, smart guy, what do DS> you do for a living??". DS> When he replied "I'm a rectum stretcher", the cop was stunned. DS> So, he inquired what that was. DS> The man explained that he works with the gastrointerologists DS> for rectal and anal surgery, and that sometimes you have to put DS> devices in to stretch the butt cheeks wide, to get the DS> instruments in...and, he's as serious as he can be with this. He DS> notes that sometimes, you have to get them spread to 6 feet. DS> Amazed, the cop asked "What do you do with a 6 foot @$$hole??". DS> The guy replies "You put him on top of a highway overpass, with DS> a radar gun". DS> Court Cost: $500 DS> Bail: $2500 DS> Look On The Cop's Face: Priceless. DS> For everything else, there's master.... never mind. I wonder what the judge was thinking as he heard all that! DS> On another note, certain individuals are trying to remove ANY DS> reference of the word MASTER, whether it deals with slaves or DS> not. Master Lock Company, Master Gardener (a local landscape DS> firm), a Master's Degree, and Biblical Passages where people DS> address Jesus Christ as "MASTER" come to mind. DS> The world has gone insane and stupid. Those people are going to have to re-invent probably all languages, plus get everyone else on board. Might be good to have a reminder of what occurred in the past so it doesn't occur again. As for just confining to words, we have 'human beings', with the word 'man' in it. "Person" has 'son'. Surnames would have to be altered: I'm thinking "Peterson" which of course has that 'son' in it and originally meant 'son of Peter'. The varient 'Petersen' probably is the same derivative. In general IMO some people are being overly sensitive trying to neutralize everything. Not necessarily bad, but I don't see such a bad thing as males being 'actors' and females being 'actresses'. people in charge of a party 'hosts' and 'hostesses'. ...One can host a party but not hostess a party. ...If someone prefers one term of address over another I will try to comply, same as some people named "James" prefer that to "Jim". ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® ....
