And No Need for Anaesthesia

Recent conversation with Brenda:
me: I've decided that I'm not going to play that "got your nose" game with our grandkids.
Brenda: Oh, really?
me: Yeah, I'm going to play "got your appendix" instead.
Brenda: There's some logic I'm missing here.
me: With my version, our grandkids can't disprove what I say with a look in the mirror and if I actually get their appendix, there's probably a plus side to that.
Brenda: And to think that most physicians spend years in medical school to accomplish something like that.
me: I'm so ahead of my time.

We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships. He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?" Go »It's Not Just Rhetoric
A personal pet peeve of mine is the use of the phrase, "That's just rhetoric." As if the speech being referred to is meaningless and/or uninspiring. The word rhetoric is to be used to define speech designed to persuade. Go »

You could play "got your tonsils" and then take them out for ice cream.
