Oh dear Moyel jokes-- they are (or have been) rampant in NY
-like the person who is traveling in (any remote place in the world)- and his watch battery dies-- walking down a small street, he see a shop with a large pocket watch hanging out side.
he enters the store, the shelfs are dusty and bare, but a well dressed man appears from the back of the shop-
the traveler only speaks english (well this is an american joke!) and starts to speak to the shop keeper, hoping that in spite of the scant visible stock, he will have a battery.. the shop keeper keeps trying to stop the man, but he persist in asking-- Till finally, the shopkeeper explains-- I am not a watchmaker, this is not a watch shop-- i needed some space, rented it, and never removed the watch from the previous tenent...
So the man asks-- why not, why don't you advertize what you do? the answer "I am a moyel-- what do you suggest i hang outside?"
Most of the other moyel jokes are just too well, not appropiate! (many are very funny!)

Thanks maverick and of troy. I was crying great big tears thinking that one had gone down the tube, or thunderously silently disapproved of. Now can anyone tell me if it actually heightens the pleasure of the penetrated?

The link in my brain is from my ex-wife.
No, no. The divorce was as calm as could be and we remain friends, but when she moved in, one of my cats remained freaked by her for longer than might be expected and she ended up with ogress as a nickname for a while. I was going to add an ogress to some other arms I had floating about in my history as a quarter. One of the quarters already on the shield was or on a bend sable three bananas increscent proper.

Of Troy, so maybe you can help me with TAUPE. I have heard taupe used to describe everything from khaki to beige with a tint of brown or green. What IS it supposed to be.

Dear belMarduk: Forgive me, but I rejoice that a knowledgeable lady can be baffled by the fashion ads. It would surprise me if what the store that used that word had merchandise even remotely resembling the dictionary definition which you of course knew. I think my computer color is a pastel beige blended with a tiny touch of taupe.
Beige is sure not close to Italian bigi which I have seen defined flatly as gray.

Well that because taupe is all of those-- taupe is brownish grey-- but that leaves a lot of space since "brown" is really a wonderful hodge-podge color. it can be greenish, or redish, or blackish-- and then take what ever you have, and soften the color by adding grey--which at once makes it lighter (the white half of grey), and drabber, (the black half of the grey).
so everything from the color of cooked mushrooms--or earth soiled sail (white) cloth, or patches of sycamore bark could be called 'taupe' as could khaki-- which is from the hindu for "the color of the dust of the earth"
depending on where you are-- khaki is a very different color. from very light to rather dark, from brownish red, to almost white or green-- to taupe!
Puce is another one of these colors that is kind of hard to define-- its dark reddish brown... but it could be the color of Rose bush leaves-- not the pure green one, but the leaves that have a reddish/brown/green color-- which doesn't sound like it could be a color-- but somehow, rosebushes manage it!

Dear of troy: for a long time I have been expecting to see ladies' undergarments featured with the color prepuce.

Puce is described as sang de boeuf (beef blood) in French. And a puce is a flea.

bijou, caillou, chou, genou, hibou, joujou, pou. I thought pou was flea.
While out on my walk, one of my few remaining functional cerebral cortical neurones shrieked "pou" is "louse".
Was it right?
