plk1966, you must be from PA. I grew up there, and I remember that the exits were numerical, not according to mile markers. But the last few times that I've been there, they were numbered according to mile markers.

Folding a fitted sheet is easy. You put your fingertips into two corners, bring them together and fold one over the other. Do the same at the other end. Then you fold down the rounded corner so that it becomes a point. You then bring the ends together longways and fold and fold until you have a small square. TA DA! Folded fitted sheet. laugh

I wish I hadn't lost the ability to come to a complete stop and enjoy the clouds like I did as a kid.

Why does it annoy me to try to show someone how to do something...I always get touchy and finish doing it myself.

When did I stop dancing just for the joy of it?

When did we stop blushing when someone we were crushing on smiled at us?

Why oh why does time seem to go so much faster now that I'm over 30?
you would be in shock if you saw me fold one , my wifes jaw is still on the floor from that one laugh drinker

:laughing: Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

rofl MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
those were good ones weren't they.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger!!!

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never beending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.

I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

The other night I hit a new low at an open bar. I had already hopped on highway blackout when, inevitably I had to find a bathroom. Eventually I decided it was probably on the other side of the bar so I tried to walkover there, but ran into a guy coming the other way. We played that,Both go left, Both go right game to no avail, so I finally put out my hand to guide myself past and that's is when I realized, yup, that's a mirror I just tried to walk through. And the guy on the other side is me. Even cats can re cognize their own image.

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.


Was learning cursive really necessary?

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?


Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today Ihad to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Bad decisions make good stories


yeah i like to read but not this long of a thread...maybe next time when its shorter:smile:

Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

When did we go from eatting food that just tasted good to eatting low-carb, low fat, low sodium cardboard?

It never fails...everytime I paint my nails someone sends me a text message.

Why does it always take longer to get home from a trip than it did to get to where you were goin?

VIDEO GAMES

Video games shouldn't come with instructions because nobody will use them anyway unless they are incredibly stuck on how to do something.

Is it just me or are the controls getting much more complicated now? Whatever happened to the good old days of a joystick and a button? Now you have to press Y while holding down X and tap the L1 button three times while brushing a thumb against the up button before you can make your character jump.

No arcade is complete without the game Galaga.

Don't you hate losing a man when you had three to start with? It throws you off your game. If you're like me, you do the only thing you can do when you lose a man, deliberately lose the other two and put in some more quarters so you can have all three again!!

Why does pinball have that "oh so easy" appeal to it, but you always lose your ball within the first couple minutes of playing? And when you see the ball miss your bumpers, the rule is just keep thumping them again and again right?

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.


Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
