Thought this may be of interest to some. As far as number 1 is concerned the best thing to do is to close the lid before you flush. Belive it or not, your open toilet is a poop atomizer. Number 3, just the oppisite.

Here's my personalized list...
1. I usually forget to flush until my wife goes in the bathroom and screams.
2. Good for Alaska!
3. I button from the top down. (!?...now I'm self-conscious)
7. I've accused my wife of carrying her fishing-weight collection in her purse.
10. Last time I tried, I lost count.
16. Who the hell wants to unwrap a 2000 year old dead body?
17. I have no ancestors that even owned shoes prior to the twentieth century.
18.?ÿ The razor I paid $7.99 for and opened yesterday is already dull.
...a nice day back at 'ya! ??ÿ
I button my shirt down from the top down as well, I feel this list may have some made up things.
I can not imagine Alaska having more Outhoues, just by population alone they have less than 1 million people
Wasn't King Tut 19 years old when he die, did he really need a razor?
1. About a third of people flush while they are still sitting on the toilet.
-For me, only time sitting is on those *&*@! automatic ones that flush every time you wiggle on the seat or reach for the tissue.
Most toilets flush in E flat.
-I don't recall any that had a well-defined enough tone to call a note.
2. Alaska has more outhouses than any other state.
-Good for them.?ÿ Nothing wrong with a well-build outhouse except for cold winters and summer spiders.
3. Most people button their shirts upward.
-I'm with the top-down crowd.
5. The end of a hammer, opposite the striking end, is called a peen.
-The peen is also a striking end.
17. Before the 1800s, there were no separately designed shoes for right and left feet.
- If you had to buy generic, then probably.?ÿ But really good shoes were custom made for each person's feet, using wooden lasts that were fitted and labeled for that person.
Not sure about this but I think they built a Liberty ship in 4 days during WWII.?ÿ They did it just for the heck of it that one time. ?ÿ I'm pretty sure on average it took much longer, for warships months or much longer.
I do not think they are talking about Warships. The Navy has more planes than the Air Force does, however the Army has more ships than the Navy. However an Army ship is a lot different than a Navy ship. Maybe they could have made those D-Day landing ships in 4 days, or enough ships to average 4 a day, but no way they could have made a Navy warship in 4 days.
"7. I've accused my wife of carrying he fishing-weight collection in her purse."
?ÿ
My wife??s purse feels like there??s a bowling ball in there. It feels like there is enough ??stuff? in her purse to restock a 7-11. And, I sure as hell ain't looking in it, sumthin' might bite me.?ÿ ??ÿ

At times I've asked for something that's probably in my wife's purse.?ÿ I will NOT go in there for anything.?ÿ I just hand her the whole thing and let her fish out whatever I was needing.
ps - If a petrified Tic-Tac is worth anything, my wife is a rich woman.
I keep a pocket knife in my pocket pretty much all the time.?ÿ My wife borrows it on occasion.?ÿ I've always wondered why women don't carry pocket knives in their purse.?ÿ They're useful for so many things and don't take up much space.?ÿ I gave my wife a leatherman (the small one with the scissors) one time and she promptly forgot it was there and got it confiscated at the airport on her next flight.?ÿ I got all the way to Hawaii a few years ago before I found my Case folding knife in the backpack I had carried aboard.?ÿ It went home in my checked bag.

I'm tone deaf, but what the heck does it matter what note the toilet flushes in? What does that have to do with when you flush anyway?
A ball peen hammer has a peen but does a claw hammer have one? I think not.
I don't know about toilets flushing, but as a guitar player in cover bands E flat is the bane of my existence...
"?ÿI've always wondered why women don't carry pocket knives in their purse."
In Florida you have to wonder why women don't carry a semi automatic handgun in their purse.?ÿ ??ÿ
I keep a pocket knife in my pocket pretty much all the time.
As my grandfather used to say: there are two kind of men; those who carry pocket knives and....nope, there's only one kind of man. ?ÿ
"I'm tone deaf, but what the heck does it matter what note the toilet flushes in? "
I agree, most "normal" surveyors just start sniffing to see how bad it stinks.?ÿ ??ÿ
Went to put on a shirt today and decided to check out what it's like buttoning from bottom to top.

WWEEIIRRDD!!

Makes about the same level of sense of me attempting to run an adding machine with my left hand.
A ball peen hammer has a round peen, a claw hammer has a flat peen?
A ball peen hammer has a round peen, a claw hammer has a flat peen?
Beats me. I always thought a ball peen hammer looked like this:
And a Claw hammer looked like this.
Neither of which, or anything that resembles an implement of destruction, is allowed in the house in accordance with SWMBO rules and regulations.?ÿ
