Subj : Fiber Optic Update To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Aug 24 2020 07:49:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Well, my wife and I did "shack up" for a few months before we DS> tied the knot, but we were engaged, and I was committed to DS> marriage. BM> Seemed no nasty surprises were discovered! DS> We did go in for a pregancy check on her...and the physician, a DS> black female (sweet lady, but a nut ), asked her "Did you DS> whizz??". I about fell out of the chair laughing. Sounds like she had learned not to use the scientific language on patients: "urinate" "I thought I was in Exam Room 7!". DS> When she was doing a pelvic exam on my wife, my wife was DS> complaining that "my butt is about to fall off the table", and DS> was reassured that she wasn't going to fall off, even though it DS> felt like it. I remember when being strapped to the strecher being carried to the ambulance it felt like I was going to fall off. DS> I made a smart-@$$ remark, and my wife looked at me, and DS> growled "Keep that up, and you're next!!". The doctor looked at DS> me, and she said "She's right, you know!!". My head went back DS> into the magazine I was reading. Smart man! DS> Not sure. My brother told me of another place that "has DS> spaghetti like our late Mom used to make it". I haven't tried it DS> yet...as for the moment, they're just doing take-out service. BM> Hmm: overcooked and topped with jar sauce?! DS> Known as the Raw-Goo. :P I discovered where the place was, but DS> I'm going to hold off on going there for a bit. I prefer to "eat DS> in" when I "eat out". I don't like to eat and drink when I drive DS> (never mind "don't talk to the driver while he's DS> drinking")...even if it's just chicken nuggets and sweet tea. Paying attention while driving is a good idea! And greasy fingers plus steering wheel aren't a good combination. DS> I would say so...never mind "hot cross buns" from eating things DS> like tobasco, habanero, jalapeno, etc. BM> One needs asbestos toilet paper! DS> I saw a meme where a toilet was on fire, and the caption was DS> "I'll never eat at Taco Bell again!!". A similar one showed a DS> polar bear pooping, and the caption says "Sweet Jesus, let me DS> live!! I promise to never eat at Taco Bell again!!". Hmm: I don't recall Taco Bell food being all that hot/spicy. OTOH don't order anything super-spicy as IMO spicyness/hotness should be a flavour enhancement, not a competition. DS> Years ago, there was a mixup at a chemical plant in Fordyce, a DS> community in southern Arkansas. An employee accidentally switched DS> the chemical line to the water line, and toilets were literally DS> exploding and catching fire, when flushed. To which, a female DS> employee at my workplace remarked "I guess they got tired of DS> being [peed] and [pooped] in!!". Paybacks are hell! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
