I just love the tangents that these topics take (Hey, nice alliteration there), but back to pocket lint... is this the same word that would describe the navel/belly-button fuzz that men flick off whilst disrobing? It must be in the same genre, being, of course, of the same identical molecular composition?

um... thanks. in my own special apophasistic way, i'll resist the urge to wonder aloud if this happens *every* time a man disrobes.

bridget wanders off, hoping beyond all hope that this image does not haunt her for eternity


ps: i guess this may help cure my problematic apodysophilia

Just flicking at disrobing is not enough. When showering soap, water, and gentle removal of dead skin and secretions is essential.

All this gnarly discussion about gnus leaves my teeth gnashing, will all these insidious linguistic gnats stop gnawing at me, please! It's not gneiss!

As Gerard Hoffnung used to say about one's navel: "When eating celery in bed, it's a very good place to keep the salt."

Let's see .... hmmmm.....crackers or cookies in bed versus celery and salt?
You still have to shake out the bedding!
Reminds me of the saying :
"Children are like sugar ... you forget how sweet they are when they're underfoot."

Great sing-along music for the car.

Rod, you have a car with which you sing along? Incredible! My car only emits occasional flatulence, and Gallic nasalities (it's a Peugeot) but never anything truly melodious! I know, it's an old British car - a Singer!

Singer
You ride around on a sewing machine? When we had a 1966 VW Beetle, my wife complained it was like riding in a washing machine.

Singer - You ride around on a sewing machine?

My wife's Grandfather flew in seaplanes (can't remember exactly what at this moment) in WW1 (after he graduated from airships), and these were powered by Singer engines, which had a nasty habit of stopping. They could sometimes be restarted by diving with feathered props and then throwing the props back in again, but he ditched in the North sea at least twice. They had pigeons with them to release with their last known position in the hope that someone would rescue them. It seemed to work.
