Big Mike... That's how doctors and nurses check for prostate cancer isn't it ?

Haah, don't get me started on doctors and nurses and prostate cancer --- I've been there, all that pokin' and proddin' and NO BLOODY PROSTATE CANCER -- they just do it for the fun of it coz' they like humiliating poor old fellers like me, AND they get paid for it !! What a job !!

Haah, don't get me started --- All this baloney started when I went into an American forum to tell the story of a major co-incidence in my life, no big deal, just a BIG co-incidence that involved the US postal service. I wasn't prepared for the amount and level of contempt that ordinary Americans were about to heap on their postal service, and the surprising thing was that all the replies started in a similar vein (Haah, don't get me started on the (insert victim of choice) ...
It was almost as though these people had a list of subjects that they were about to vilify, but because I had apparently brought the USPS to the top of the list, they would do them first,
Needless to say, the original point I was trying to make (remember, the zillion-to-one coincidence), went completely un-noticed.

Yeah... there's something really disturbing about that glint in the eye as someone stands there looking at you with a disposable glove encased finger in the air... LOL

just as long as they don't put their hands on your shoulders at the same time..............................?

I rather enjoy it go back every 6 months just in case[joke]

What was this thread about?????

funny pictures... I think?????
I don't think the visuals are very funny...
Been lucky enough to avoid all that!
'cept the 3 c sections looking over the purple sheet watching
my children being born... now thats a wound

Yeah but at least you can "duck down" when they get to the gory bits!
but they don't have very comfortable chairs to sit on! I mean come on, who is in need of a bit of comfort and support? the wife who is drugged up to the eyeballs and is floating around the ceiling feeling"fuzzy" or the poor bloody hubby hoping to christ that the bloke with the knife doesn't sneeze!

Hey Teachers this is for you


This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School (California) Staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.

The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their classes.

This is the actual answering machine message for the school:

"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting the right staff member, please listen to all your options before making a selection:

"To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1

"To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2

"To complain about what we do - Press 3

"To swear at staff members - Press 4

"To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5

"If you want us to raise your child - Press 6

"If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7

"To request another teacher for the third time this year- Press 8

"To complain about bus transportation - Press 9

"To complain about school lunches - Press 0

"If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework, and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!"

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

I like it !!!!

That is 100% spot on... trust me.... some of the crap I hear about

The Guys' Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules "
From the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can -
to give them a bigger laugh.[align=center]

Oh Thankyou so much, J -- my father once told me :-

Womens' faults are many, men have only two -
Everything they say and everything they do !

It's mind over matter,



If she doesn't mind, it doesn't matter.
