Confucius say, sex is like the army, the closer you are to discharge, the better you feel..............

In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'
I think we'd need a rule of thigh these days..............................

Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone

Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U. S. Treasury.
That's sort of the same thing these days.............................

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

Or is there..........

In a dream a boy can grow
To be an honest man
A path of life strongly lived
To become the best he can

He may seize the gloating wind
Wrap fearless to his chest
Steady in resolve and heart
Would pass this bitter test

Word and deed would lend him thus
Roam there where others run
Held in warmth and softness, yet
Loved as a wayward son

If nothing else have the dream
Let touch you when it can
Taste just what you might have been
Were you a better man?
