"Word of the day"!

[biggerbirdbrain]

I'm completely behind  you on that one, too, T!

[technomc]

Why thanks mate....
My PANTS are behind me too!!!

[biggerbirdbrain]

I do hope that they're up in front as well! 

[technomc]

Not so much actually...or have i got them on back to front....no wonder my eyes have been watering!!

My father was one of those people who can never admit he was wrong.  One time he and my mother and aunt were on a trip, and he came out of the gas station restroom with a "holding back laughter" look on his face.  They asked him what was so amusing, and he told them that he'd had problems going to the toilet - he couldn't find the fly - he'd put his underpants on backwards that morning!  But then he went on to explain that it wasn't his fault - in some convoluted way it was my mother's fault because she had taken them out of the suitcase for him!

[biggerbirdbrain]

I guess he folded and packed them in such a way that when he put them on, he'd know their spatial orientation in relation to his torso ... or something like that?

[birdy]

As if my father would have ever packed a suitcase for himself!  His mind was on higher things - like the economy, or politics, or how the English language was degenerating, or how one of us kids was speaking ungrammatically...

[biggerbirdbrain]

I've heard of those "absent-minded professors" before ... I live with one. Rocket scientists who can't tie their shoes! 

[technomc]

Common sense is not a gene often found in males...it is especially rare in men with brains bigger than peas...

[biggerbirdbrain]

Ah, how true, T! So what's YOUR word for today?

[Linda]

My word is -

EXEGESIS

Just because I like it and because it appears in an episode of Inspector Morse!! 

[biggerbirdbrain]

That was a favourite of my theology teacher, too. 

How did it work into the plot, LL?

[Linda]

Sergeant Lewis has heard the term, 'an exegesis on Ancient Grimoire' ... and Morse is utterly amazed that he has uttered such a phrase!  Can't remember the whole plot butmy hubby would be able to tell you as he knows them practically off by heart!  Saddo!! 

[biggerbirdbrain]

I guess it's better he do that than get into mischief, I suppose. At least he's got a brain!

[Linda]

Yes, I think there is one hidden in there somewhere!!   He's presently watching yet another programme on space exploration and if I see one more bloody programme on Roswell and aliens I will divorce him!!
