I once read how British sailors on a South Pacific island were rather shocked because the islanders would carve a very large and very heavy canoe out of a tree, inland, then use “excess” girls to “grease the skids” to help launch the boat.
One at a time, the girls would run out and lay down, legs spread, in the path of the canoe, which as it was moved a few inches at a time, would crush them and cut them in half.
The British would have interfered except that the crafty islanders had given them drinks beforehand which contained potent muscle relaxants. So all they could do was just sit there and watch.
Interesting connection for anyone who doubts the bulldozer as a weapon of war: After WWII General Eisenhower asserted that of the five most valuable machines of war in Eastern Europe, one was the bulldozer. (Two others were the Jeep and the deuce-and-a-half truck. One was the Duck, and I forget the fifth.)
Not to me. To me she looks just like any other miserable misguided liberal narcissist.
- The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how
much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll
straight over you?"
"How much?" said Arthur.
"None at all," said Mr Prosser, and stormed nervously off
wondering why his brain was filled with a thousand hairy
horsemen all shouting at him.

Shave her head and you have the banjo kid from deliverance.
“There is a pancake breakfast fundraiser coming up here...”
I don’t care who you are...that’s funny right there
Well they removed one at least.
Why do I feel hungry for pancakes all of a sudden?
LOL! ROFLMAO!!!
But will there be strawberries served? It wouldn’t seem right without strawberries.
Sorry, damn computer!
I love blueberry pancakes.
“Uh, are you SURE those are blueberries?”
