[Re: Jackie] Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1075 Loc: Lancaster, UK In the forest the fair young maid Walked alone, quite unafraid That the trees’ branching angle Would her fair hair entangle For she’d tied it up with a braid DISCLAIMER - DISCREET _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise Top #207563 - 10/07/12 06:27 PM Re: AC...you are quick. [Re: Rhubarb Commando] jenny jenny veteran Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 1554 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi You are Rube, a thoughtful man as exemplified by your concern for fair unbraided hair entangled in a tree. The men I know are brutes. Top #207565 - 10/07/12 07:15 PM Re: AC...you are quick. [Re: jenny jenny] Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1075 Loc: Lancaster, UK As many people on this board know, my given name is Hilary. This may, or may not, be relevant. _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise Top #207567 - 10/07/12 07:44 PM Re: AC...you are quick. [Re: Rhubarb Commando] jenny jenny veteran Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 1554 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi So where and when, Sir Hilery, does sex distinction determine relevancy? Not in Mississippi. Top #207568 - 10/08/12 05:37 AM Re: AC...you are quick. [Re: jenny jenny] Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1075 Loc: Lancaster, UK Nor anywhere else in the civilised world, jj! I merely comment on the fact that, given the distribution of my given name beteen the sexes, there is something like a 25:1 chance that I am a woman, not a man! _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise Top #207569 - 10/08/12 10:26 AM Re: AC...you are quick. [Re: Rhubarb Commando] jenny jenny veteran Registered: 06/05/10 Posts: 1554 Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi Ah ha! Rhubarb, you believe in "odds" therefor you are a mere man. Let's play a game that had a curious run a few years back... Ready? Ok; I've put 24 unsightly men and one breathtakingly beautiful woman (with a slight flaw} in 25 boxes marked #1 through #25. I ask you to pick the woman and you - being somewhat predictable- pick number 7. Now I order all the men to climb out of their stupid box and go home except box #7 and box #8, this leaves one woman and one man in boxes # 7 and box #8. "Do you wish to change your choice from 7 to 8?" I ask politely. Should you? Top #207570 - 10/08/12 11:10 AM thereby hangs a tale [Re: jenny jenny] wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/06/01 Posts: 6793 Loc: Worcester, MA If you ask me (which you didn't), I should say a lot depends on the nature of that "slight flaw" you mentioned. And there are few other assumptions you've left undenied but unverified... Top Page 97 of 126 < 1 2 ... 95 96 97 98 99 ... 125 126 > Go to page...
