You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Well, just stumbled downstairs and flipped on my computer to check the email. Guess I don't need coffee to wake up this morning. Now I have bated breath! LOL

A man went to a brain store to get some brain to complete a study. He sees a sign remarking on the quality of professional brain offerred at this particular brain store. He begins to question the butcher about the cost of these brains.

"How much does it cost for engineer brain?"

"Three dollars an ounce."

"How much does it cost for programmer brain?"

"Four dollars an ounce."

"How much for lawyer brain?"

"$1,000 an ounce."

"Why is lawyer brain so much more?"

"Do you know how many lawyers we had to kill to get one ounce of brain?"

neener, neener, neener....
moving is a weiner,
snowfall isn't cleaner,
olly, olly, beaner,
nothing is free!

I am far too embarrassed to say "Neener Neener Neener" but I will contribute with my favorite lawyer joke.

You are stiing at a table with Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Ladin and a lawyer. On the table is a pistol with two bullets. What do you do?

Lorenzo Dow, an evangelist of the last century, was on a preaching tour when he came to a small town one cold winter's night.

He entered the local general store to get some warmth, and saw the town's lawyers gathered around the pot-bellied stove, discussing the town's business. Not one offered to allow Dow into the circle.

Dow told the men who he was, and that he had recently had a vision where he had been given a tour of Hell, much like the traveler in Dante's Inferno.

When one of the lawyers asked him what he had seen, he replied, "Very much what I see here: All of the lawyers, gathered in the hottest place."

Well, I was a clown in a caucus once...

But you did say it!

What the heck does "baited breath" mean, anyway?

Sardine-flavored toothpaste?

[ArrogantBustard]

No. But I'm not a ham. Got a license as a kid, never did much with it, let it expire.

Have you ever tried Echo Location?

[P-Marlowe]

Have you ever tried Echo Location?

No. Do you have a link?

The word is "bated" and it means diminished or withheld, as in holding your breath.

That's what I've heard. I found this:

Bated here is an old participle related to abated, it means stopped. Bated breath is breath that has been stopped, held. With bated breath means "while holding [your] breath" or "in breathless anticipation."

That makes the most sense.
