Disturbing

I was on the bus the other day and while riding, I overheard a conversation between two men whom I will refer to here as "Moron" and "Imbecile." It went something like this:

moron: See, 'cause you're what, 19?
imbecile: Yeah.
m: And I'm 26. So... I'm probably, like, a good, oh, seven or eight years older than you.

i: Yeah, I was born in '86.
m:And I was born in '79. So yeah, that means... that means I'm about, like, seven years older than you.
i:Yeah.
m: So I was like, I was finishing grade school, like, before you were born.
i: yeah.
Me: What the hell?
Firstly, I hate when people devote half of their speech to the word "like." Just say what you want to say, damn it! But what really got me was how incredibly stupid these two guys were. Wow. And they probably both voted.

Not necessarily. They saw the attack ads on TV that said that both candidates were "wrong", so they may have both sides happy and not voted for either...

I've never known a sense of superiority to be of any great benefit to anyone.

Are we really any better than those guys on the bus? We're actually talking about how stupid two people are (who most of us will never meet or even see and would be unable to identify if we did)... On a tuba message board no less!

I think generalized hostility towards people you don't even know is an lousy position to adopt. We've all sounded stupid at some point in our lives. Many of us have even done it on a city bus.

Can't we get back to solving life's great mysteries? Like piston vs. rotor, silver vs. laquer?

Colonel: get some discipline into those chaps, Sergeant Major!

Sargeant: Right sir! Good evening, class.

All (mumbling): Good evening.

Sargeant: Where's all the others, then?

All: They're not here.

Sgt.: I can see that. What's the matter with them?

All: Dunno

member of class: Perhaps they've got 'flu.

Sgt.: Huh! 'Flu, eh? They should eat more fresh fruit. Ha. Right. Now, self-defence. Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you with armed with a piece of fresh fruit.

(Grumbles from all)

Palin: Oh, you promised you wouldn't do fruit this week.

Sgt.: What do you mean?

Jones: We've done fruit the last nine weeks.

Sgt.: What's wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?

Palin: Can't we do something else?

Idle (Welsh): Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?

Sgt.: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

I guess I shouldnâ€™t of posted this thread. I really donâ€™t like to snob around and think Iâ€™m superior to anyone (because I'm really not), but in a world where itâ€™s not important anymore itâ€™s a novelty to actually have half a brain.

Shouldn't have, but then, I'm not much of a grammar nazi, either...

Perhaps the thread name, rather than "Disturbing", should be "Enturbing"

I can touch my elbows behind my back.
But women are not able to do this.
The next time you see a woman, ask her to try.

When is it appropriate to ask her...?? Should she be asked at the same time you're asking her if she can park her feet behind her head...??

to hell with behind her head!
