Seen it, done it. It's funny too.

After the fact.

speaking of cartoons, i've just spent much of the last 3 days watching a Tom and Jerry marathon on TV. if there is a way to die, T&J covered it at some point.

except for falling from cliffs, which was kind of Wile E Coyote's exclusive thing. (other types of falling are covered, however)

Yes, I heard of a guy like that...He had a marked propensity for eating his words by nibbling on typewriter keys...You might say he was an elite amongst the picas!

owie

I have heard the story of some king in Europe that used to eat a page of the Bible every day. Would that fall in the category of Pica, or just silly?

And then we could refer to him as an Evangelical "Bible Dumper", huh?

Wolf, what does the DSM IV say about inveterate pun-making?

C'mon Woofie, the Disturbed Socialist Manifesto doesn't really mention shooting punsters on sight, does it? You, above all people, should know that it is an ingrained genetic disease and we can't help ourselves.

In any event, grizzly old veterans such as myself have a tendency to return fire rather accurately... then confiscate your weed and burn down your village.

Did you ever work the "Elopement Ward" at the Pittsburgh VA Hospital? You remind me of a certain committment officer that tortured the "High Porch" Platoon.

Luv' ya' anyway...

With all of man's science, research, and experience we have yet to discover a cure for the common pun.

(Nope, I've never spent time where the sky is brown and yellow and the plants are as smart as the people.

I suspect that commitment officers throughout the world share certain traits. )
