Headline on the news:

...parts of the midwest were socked with pea- and marble-sized hail.

How I heard it:

...parts of the midwest were socked with pee, and marble-sized hail.

:eek:

Hey, these Midwestern thunderstorms get pretty scary, man. I've almost soaked myself with pee several times during the big Spring outbreaks...

Oh, wait...I see that it said "socked". Hell, I can't even *read* stuff without screwing it up.

Dang, and here I thought unbrellas were for when it weren't raining.

The other day I thought I heard a weather reporter say "nipple-sized" hail. I guess it was actually nickel-sized. But that made me wonder why they never sway "nipple-sized" hail.

Just wondering.

Because all nickels are the same size, while nipples come in various sizes.

My babe often enjoys a Dickens' Cider. Nothing like a big ol' Dickens' Cider at the end of a long day.

oft times when a male customer comes in and won;t make a decision to buy the car with out his wife, we ask him to bring his wife back so we can dicker a little more.
