TMI Tuesday.....

.

.

A Mr. Petite Oui-Oui from Richard du Tete France asks...

.

"Dear Mr. Knowitall...As you know French nouns are either male or female. La Bouche is female it means the mouth, Le Bras is masculine and it means the arm....The list goes on and on.

My American Cousin tells me that certain English words are genderized as well. I didn't learn this in school...Can you give me any examples if this is true?"

.

'Dear Froggy...Of course I can'!!

.

COPY MACHINES...Female: Once they are turned off, they take a while to warm them up again. They are highly effective and useful if the right buttons are pushed. Push the wrong button, and all Hell breaks loose!

.

FREEZER BAGS...Male: They hold everything in, and you can see right thru them!

.

TIRES...Male: The go bald easily, and they are usually Over-Inflated.

.

SPONGES...Female: They are soft, squeezable, and they retain a lot of water!

.

TRAINS...Male: They use the same old over-used lines for picking up people.

.

EGG TIMERS...Female: After a while, all their weight shifts to the bottom.

.

HAMMERS...Male: In the last 5000 years they have hardly changed at all, and at times are handy.

.

THE REMOTE...Female? I know...Surprise!! Think about it.....It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know what buttons to push, he just keeps pushing away!!

.

I hope that answered your question Frenchy, if not? C'est Dommage

Je suis fatige'....A bientot.

Peace...!!!

Thank You.....

.

.

Thank You to all thats protecting our Freedom Now.

Thank You to all that has served in the past.

Thank You to all that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Peace...!!!

Thursday Portrait.....

Ya know, vintage comic books are not all that I've collected over the years. I got my first subscription to Playboy magazine in 1967. Of course with brilliant contributors like Shel Silverstein, Jean Shepherd, and Ian Flemming, et al. I mostly just read the articles... Mostly! But something seems to have given Ole G-Man a tumescent dilemma...

Hehehehehe... I wonder what?

See you tomorrow...Peace!!!

Retro Wednesday.....

TMI Tuesday.....

.

.

A Mr. Butch 'Red Rocket' Borzoi from Humpyerleg Missouri asks...

.

"Dear Mr. Knowitall, I heard that some critters are richer than people.

Can this possibly be true? Can you shed some light on this for me?"

.

Dear Butch....Of course I can!

That cute little mutt Eddie from the TV show 'Frasier' for example earned an estimated $11,000.000 PER EPISODE . And when he died in 2006 was worth about $3.3 MILLION bucks! But thats nothing compared to some Lucky Dogs and Cats...

.

* Gunther IV, a German Shephard, is worth $328 Million. German Countess Karlotta Liebenstein left $109 Million bucks to her dog Gunther III when she died in 1992, but very clever trustee's invested well and TRIPLED that fortune for Gunther's pup!

.

* Toby Rimes a Poodle, is worth about $82 Million! This descendant of the original Toby, inherited $27 Million bucks from wealthy NYC eccentric Ella Wendel in 1931. Toby's trustees must be slackers!

.

* Frankie The Chihuahua, and Ani and Pepi cats, are worth about $5.5 Million each! The three pampered pets live in a $18 million dollar San Diego mansion, while her caretaker Lerissa Patrick, lives in a small adjoining apartment.

.

* Two cats named Hellcat and Brownie, are worth about $3.6 Million each: Offspring of the original fat cats who inherited $750.000 from San Diego Doctor William Grier.

.

How about Gigoo The Hen? A nest egg of $18 Million was left to her in 1999 when publisher Miles Blackwell's wife predeceased him by about 3 weeks.

.

I hope that this answered your questions Butch, and bewildered you as much as it did me.

Mr. Knowitall grows weary, I'm now going to Bark at the Moon, maybe some rich asshole will leave me something...

Peace...!!!

Coffee Talk.....

Hi Everybody...

Technically I guess it's still Coffee Talk, even though it's a delicious Mocha Iced Cap from Tim Horton's. Today's topics involve photography and perceptions.

Pick out a favorite, and discuss amongst yourselves.

Have a Kick Ass Week, and try to stay COOL...Summer has arrived!!

Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55.....

(Margaret Catherine enters the confessional)
'Bless me Father for I have sinned...
Last night my lover ravaged me SEVEN times!'

"Young lady...Go drink the juice of seven lemons."

(Bewildered)
'Will I then be forgiven Father?'

"No, but it WILL wipe that big smile off your face...
Now for your penance say SEVEN Hail Mary's!"

Before there was Vince and the "Slap Chop".
And The Rotato
And The Showtime Rotisserie.
And The Ped-Egg.
And The Snuggie...

There was The Ginsu!!!
First introduced in 1978, it was the predecessor to ALL Info-Mercials!
It could slice food paper thin, and still cut thru metal.
And NEVER need sharpening!
As you can see mine still works GREAT after 30 years!!
Peace...!!!
