Speaking of sandwiches:

 

          Two construction workers always ate together during lunch breaks at their job site.  One would open the lid of his lunch bucket and peer inside expectantly, but his face would always fall and he'd murmur, "Aw, nertz -- peanut butter again!"

          This went on for several weeks, and finally his buddy asked him, "Look -- if you're so tired of peanut butter, why don't you ask your wife to make you something different for a change?"

          "Oh, I'm not married," said the first.  "I make these every morning at home, myself!"

Gawd awful joke of the week right there.  You know Bone buddy, they have been so bad for so long they are funny now. If that makes sense. 

 

Kind of like Pabst beer at a family reunion

always about a 98.5% chance I am not serious about anything 

I'm hoping that your comment didn't fall in the other 1.5% then! :D 

 

PS -- my sandwiches are pretty amazing, I have been told.

You’re so full of poo, you should start your own compost store!

Oh, I missed this. @Boris Farage and I have since chatted about this offline (well, online in the sense that it was emails but offline in the sense that it wasn't on here, if that makes sense!). I recently figured out we have mutual friends of friends in common (not 100% surprised about this given the circles I used to mix in in the LA area) so I think he feels some sort of minor emotional investment in how I'm being treated. :lol:  He heard through the grapevine some stuff about my fiance that is either untrue or a distortion of the truth.

Five out of four people are bad at math, and you're at least one of them.
