Onced and Twiced are words. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy! Jawl-P? means, Did you all go to the bathroom? People actually grow, eat and like okra. Fixinto is one word word. It means I’m going to do that. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you’re two two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. The word jeet is actually a question meaning, ‘Did you eat.’ Ya’ll is singular. All ya’ll is plural. QUOTES, QUOTES, QOUTES 1.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS N O V E M BE R 6 , 2 0 1 1 DON’T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR 5 Deadly Terms Used by a Woman 1) FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when she knows she is RIGHT & YOU need to shut up. 2) NOTHING: Means SOMETHING & you need to be worried. 3) GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission, do NOT do it. 4) WHATEVER: A woman’s way of saying screw you. 5) THAT’S OK: She is thinking long & hard on how & when you will pay for your mistake. It’s not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, yet the youngest you’ll ever be so enjoy this day while it lasts. Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die. . . . My old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me “You’re next.” They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. ADULT TRUTHS 1. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? 2. Map Quest really needs to start the directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 3.

I don’t want to have to restart my collection . . . again. 6. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 7. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. 8. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay. 9. How many times is it appropriate to say “WHAT?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said.? 10. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!!! 11. The first testicular guard, the “Cup” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain Is also important.
