If alcohol was discovered tomorrow, it would be illegal. With the health and safety releted side effects, it would never be legalised. Its just that it has been around so long that it is accepted.

If breathing was discovered tomorrow it would be illegal Far to many poisons in the air.

Most things are bad for you one way or another. But its better than just turning into a vegetable.

Yep, but bad things are what make life worth living.

You can turn into a vegetable by stopping breathing? I want to be a mango! *holds breath*

Sorry, I don't think you get a choice, the default seems to be a cabbage ( was that a bit un-P.C.??? )

I would have thought that all the men would have been leeks!

Sorry Shorty, I didn't mean to offend anyone. That one depends on your point of view, I guess - I was thinking more reduced to the state of, say, a politician when I posted that message.

We used to live next-door to a family called 'Leek' - appropriate, I guess, as my family's surname is 'Wade'. Even worse, one of the assistants at my Dad's school has the double-barrelled surname 'Rainy-Dronfield' (not sure that that's how it's spelt, but that's how it's pronounced). And there's a guy who goes thundering up and down the road my parent's live on in his showy 4x4, particularly when it's snowy, which has the numberplate M10PYA. I wonder if anyone's told him that's the medical term (albeit phonetically) for short-sightedness I really can't believe it's his surname!

My step-sister's name is Theresa Bent...
I doubt I spelt her first name right.

You didn't offend me mate, it's not possible to offend me ...as for strange names I used to know a train guard who went by the name of Ian Alfred Micheal Thick, Thing is he used to have all his initials on his name badge so it read "I A M Thick", rather fitting really as he couldn't outwit a glass of water.

ROFL!!

that is nothing I was at school with a american bloke who was called Randy Hand.

How twisted were his parents?

On a scale of 1-10 I'd say 12.

Poor bloke, I bet he had a hard time.

I wonder - did he have a fungus he could tell all his problems to?

*giggles uncontrolably*

That was an unfortunate comment to make.

It all depends on interpretation

*still rolling round on the floor*

Well my interpretation is somewhat itchy.

I, erm, noticed...
You need to clean your head out.

Too much clinical physiology I guess.
