  1. I believe that dog is a calf.
  2. Back in the late 90s I went with a friend of mine to pick up his daughter at College one night. We were all going out to dinner. So she got in the truck with him - they would go to the restaurant together - and I would follow in her car. They drove off while I was sitting there with her door open so the interior light was on trying to find the windshield wipers to clear the mist and the headlight switch. This was a late 80s Japanese car of some sort and I had no idea where these things were. Fast forward to the early 2000s, and I rented a Chevy at the San Juan Puerto Rico airport and drove to the other end of the island with the windshield wiper on. Because I could not figure out how to turn it off, and there was no owner's manual in the glove box. I had to ask somebody at the motel when I got to the other end of the island how to turn the damn thing off, or it would have been on for the entire 3 days I was there.
  3. https://eu.glock.com/en/products/pistols/g18 The 18 is the actual, for real, Glock designed and made select fire version of the Glock 17. "The rate of fire in full-automatic-mode is approximately 20 rounds per second." By my math, 20 rounds a second times 60 seconds is 1200 rounds a minute.
  4. That took a minute. When I first saw it, I thought the ears were nostrils. The white above and below the eyes were the top and bottom lips of a mouth. The two white downward marks between the eyes were fangs. The black section of the muzzle running down to the nose was a tongue hanging out at the bottom of the mouth. Somewhere between an alligator and a dragon was in that garbage can.
  5. mais oui monsieur. les français sont, comme on dit, fous comme des crottes de singe - des bananes.
  6. I don't actually know. I don't do bees. But I remember a comic strip in National Lampoon, where the hippie was stirring honey into his tea while calling it bee poop. Then when the mundane expressed surprise at the term, the hippie went on to explain that bees ate pollen and pooped honey. One of them great comic strips that stays with you for years.
  7. If cop pointed the gun at you, would it be manos arriba, Hände hoch? Hands up! I've seen this more and more lately, over the last few years, on TV. When the cop points the gun at the criminal, they put their hands behind their head. Heck, I've even heard the cop on TV tell the suspect to put his hands behind his head. I've always kind of thought that the reason that you had the arrestee put his hands up was so that you, the cop, could see his hands. See if he had a weapon. If he put his hands behind his head you don't know what he's got.
  8. Interesting. I have 14. Three on each of my four fingers which makes 12, then two more on my thumb making 14.
  9. If he explains it they pronounce it ting, why didn't he explain that they also pronounce it tay? "Would ya liake a nice cuppa tay?"
  10. Your mouth will open wide enough to bite that?
  11. Does he also abstain from honey because it's bee poop?
  12. Because we have 10 fingers. So you got 10 then 20, which is 2 10s, 30 which is three tens, etc. I just saw a copy of a book. The book is in French. The title Le tour de monde en quatre-vingts jours I was using my vast knowledge of French to translate The travel of world in four something something So I decided that was around the world in 40 days. But that didn't sound right. So I looked up the book. It's around the World in 80 Days. So I plugged quatre-vingts into Google translate and it told me that in French that was 80. But that didn't make any sense because it obviously started with four. So I translated quatre. I was right, it means four. So then I translated vingts. It means 20s. So the French word for 80 directly translates as "four twenties". The French don't count by 10, they count by 20?
  13. And the deli section of a grocery store at one time, I asked them if it was legal to eat a roast pork sandwich using kosher rye. They didn't get it.
