why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

Hmmm.

When I heard that one it was miner from Kirkland Lake who walked into the bar...

Just sayin, eh?

...and when I heard it, the question was "what position does she play?"

When my left hip was replaced with New product, food sucked until JD showed during a visit with Tiger Pork, cheese Won Tons and a half pint of Scotch. This therapy had cheese and got me out of there in two days!

Maybe it was the Johnnie Walker Black?

So we had our annual shindig Monday night. As host I had to circulate - Living Room, check. Hallway, check, (You forgot the wallflowers watching television), check.

All the cool kiddie English Majors (of all generations) hung out in the kitchen drinking Crock Pot Whiskey Punch, and I heard, "So - the Past, Present and Future walked into an undergraduate bar. . . . . . . . . . It was Tense.

Check

Past tense, present tense, future tense. Maybe it would have gone over better if he had verbalized it.

How do I explain Whiskey Punch?

Past Tense; Present Tense; Future Tense.

Maybe it was the delivery. Maybe it was the punch. Maybe we're geeks. Everyone laughed.

By coincidence and by invitation of my children there were three English Literature PhD.'s, two PhD. Candidates, a 2nd Year Grad. Student, two BA.'s and I was also in the room (English Language and Literature). Range in age was 23 - 77. I've been hammered here before for referring to "Credentials," (even though I'm the least thereof) so I'm stopping here.

Maybe I just missed the Punch line... no Punch intended.

I laughed. What's worse, I heard it a couple weeks ago, and I still laughed.

Any majors in cheese...

Monochrome,
A commonly heard colloquialism in this region, "Present tents, past tents, future tents." Dialects are wonderful.
