I recently helped a friend who wanted a sign in Spanish to be posted in front of his dry cleaning store. But now I'm told by some of his Spanish-speaking neighbors that it says "Drop Your Trousers Here for Best Results". It's just not worth it.
I think that is a perfect sign and should bring in a lot of extra customers!

It's informative but with a bit of humor. . .Madison Avenue would be proud to call it it's own.

Eh, he may like the term you called him.

But I do hope he never reads this forum! Turnips don't rate dreadfully high on any scale.

Honestly, I like algebra, but I like puzzles, too.

Maybe you have a boring teacher?

I am to re-write my job description, what I feel I should be doing and we will meet again in 2 weeks.

I feel a LOT better!
Well done.

I suggest that you suspend the practice of calling your co-workers vegetables until you resolve your own job description, however....

Edit: oh, wait, I thought you called him a turnip. Never mind. I think I should get back to finishing that last paper before I lose my mind completely....

Neko, my brain just doesn't work with algebra. Or puzzles, either. Feel like tutoring me?

At least turnips don't fart.

Ikea is an acceptable exception to that. Especially if you're talking about the endless maze of airless warehousing that seems to suck all desire to live out out of you. Some of their furniture I rather like...

And to end this post on a positive note I love "Fear and Loathing"

When one hates, loathes, and despises something(someone) it's because one hasn't learned to like that someone(something). Everything(one) is a programmed experience...

I hated algebra and failed with miserable scores, until I was tutored by someone with a passion for it and convinced me why.

For me, now, there is no white, no black, just passionate grey...

I'd give you karma for being the first person I've come across to use passionate and grey together in a positive way, but I can't. So have some virtual k instead

I like opera, I like classic music - but I do NOT like to hear the same freaking opera (the same freaking aria, sung in a very high woman voice) over and over again.
My neighbour is hearing it for the tenth time (I counted) today - and its the same *** aria for the last weeks. I cannot stand another hearing. I really cannot. I already closed my windows and retreated from my balcony, and I would be using earplugs if I werent waiting for an important phone call ... I think I will never again be able to hear a belted sopran aria.
