Nah. I’d expect we’ll get 100+ replies of “That must be my ex-wife”

I’d guess he’s more of a toilet spatterer.

Probably more of a brown painter!

I know a horse chiropractor and he does a very nice business by it, thankyouverymuch. Had to go to Germany to be certified, IIRC. BTT

A guy at work used to work at a place that made breast implants. They had them in the office, he said the novelty never wore off - for the guys.

I have my favorite food and delicacies. But if you feed me these things everyday, I’d get tired of them too.

Missed the oddest job I know of, guy I used to work with before he landed in software was a sex toy trainer. Yup, going to the smut shops explaining the correct and intended uses for his company’s products.

Most guys seem to be exactly seven years old at heart.

At work the other day, we were getting a lecture on hand hygiene, and the woman giving the lecture (who is one of my dearest friends) said:

“...if you are sitting at a bar and see nuts in front of you...don’t put them in your mouth!”

Me and another guy sitting at the back of the room immediately start snickering and smirking like seven year old boys, and she pauses, looking blankly at us like a landed fish, her mouth opening and closing as the puzzled phrase “Wha...whaaaat?” came out of it.

We had to go to a retirement party right after, and I razzed her all night about it...she was ready to kill me!
