Welcome to my canyon...
Welcome to the place where I share.
Word of warning to begin with, I consider myself an intelligent individual, but occasionally I collapse into a not so intelligent personna.
Happy reading...

Ok. I'm going to try a new feature for Fridays. We'll call it.... Crazy Thoughts. Here's this week's 10:
1. Can you make a candle out of your earwax?
2. When French people swear do they say pardon my English?
3. Aren't the 'good things that come to those who wait' just the leftovers from the people that got there first?
4. If the swat team breaks down your door do they have to replace it later?
5. Can a fire truck park in the fire lane?
6. Can it be cloudy and foggy at the same time?
7. "Cute as a button" Is that supposed to be a compliment? Since when are buttons cute?
8. Can you breathe out of your nose and mouth at the same time?
9. Are marbles made of marble?
10. Why does the last piece of ice always stick to the bottom of the cup?

Fun!
Personally, I've always wondered why drive-up ATMs have Braille keypads.

With regard to 2. No, Frenchies don't say pardon my English. The reason, as far as I can tell is this: the reason the English used to say "pardon my French" is because the "French" had a reputation for being risque and a little bit on the vulgar side. The same thing is evident in the expressions "French tickler" and "French letter".
The French, on the other hand, have long considered ( one could argue rightly) the English to be repressed, uptight and generally a bit dull, so they'd have no reason to pass their more fruity language use off as English.
Can't answer the rest of them though I'm afraid.

I'm looking forward to next week's one already.
