Mace had a bad habit of eating all the grass on the echanic's lawn, so the mechanic had to keep Mace inside. The grass eventually became overgrown. One day the mechanic was working on a car in the backyard and dropped his wrench, losing it in the tall grass. He could not find it for the life of him, so he decided to call it a day. That night, Mace escaped from the house and ate all the grass in the backyard. The next morning the mechanic went outside and saw his wrench glinting in the sunlight. Realizing what had happened he looked toward the heavens and proclaimed. "A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me!" my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: What a Dog!

Our message of search and destroy was misunderstood by the Jupiterians who destroyed our entire fleet except for Mayes the welchman, who sent this message... "Uh...Mays in space, our fleet is down, come save a welsh like me." Base earth replied: How do we know it is you, Mays, use your early twentieth century poet or composer password or we will blast you out of your non-existent sky. So Mays who had been in space many many years replied in sing song... Well once I was Frost, but now I'm Pound, was Stein and Debussy. Sometimes I hate myself too. - Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
