Nat random Pt. II

It's hodge podge time! Stay seated and keep your arms in the car at all times....

Lets start with the absurd shall we?

Suitably ripe euphemisms for flatulence include:

Cutting the cheese
Sneezing in one's pants
Floating an air biscuit
Doody burping
Sphincter whistling
Killing the canary
Colon bowlin'
The scented scream

Ok, some are just gross, but a couple made me laugh. I wonder which ones? ;)

In the History file.......

"I'm bored with it all." last words of Sir Winston Churchill before slipping into a coma and dying nine years later.
Well, the guy did have one hell of a life. If you are ever immobilized for a spell, God forbid, read his eight volume, !, autobiography. Good stuff.

And to the ever present financial news......

People often say one thing and do another. This gap represents the difference between what economists call a "declared preference" (what you say you'lll do) and an "expressed preference" (what you actually do).

And....

In the lobby of a Hyatt hotel, a one -day pass for a wireless Internet connection costs $10.95. Not cheap, but standard for nice hotels. In the hotel's ballroom, however -- where corporate conferences are typically held --- a one-day pass costs $300. Economists refer to such a scenario as price discrimination. Maybe there is a little justice out there anyway, ha ha. Wait! Both institutions pass their costs on to the customer. Slaps self on the forehead. Doh...

I truly think that is the most random collection ever of items D. Is it fair to assume this randomness represents your train of thought as well? eeeeekkk!

btw -I have had to pay both types of internet fees you speak of. Bastard hotels. Wireless Internet should be free like air. Just my opinion. :)
