Alpo Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 You know, it just occurred to me to wonder why, if the metric system is such a wonderful system, the whole world uses 1/4 inch drive, 3/8 inch drive, and half inch drive sockets and ratchets. Not 6 mm, 9 mm and 13 mm. 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, and half inch. Hmmmmmm. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just means you value your lawn. Walk on the sidewalk, gravel, paved drive provided for that purpose. As to the loo pictured, I meant no offense. It was posted on another site as being from Australia. If the Aussies aren’t offended I figure I’m good. I can be as crotchety as the next guy, that one just hit my fancy. So did this one.

Alpo Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Until I went and looked it up, I thought he stuck a Florida town in there. Near the end of the second verse he says you don't call Wee Waa Wee. There's a town just down the road from me. The official name is Wewahitchka, but everybody just calls it Wewa. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Are you on a computer or a phone? When Allie asked me if I was upset by her naming me that, I had no idea what she was talking about, because I'm doing this on my phone and you can't see that. If they've taken away the cute little name she gave us - I don't know what the hell the reason for that would be. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
