  • The Real Question Is: Why Is A Two Tailed Dog Happy?

    Date: 2007.12.07 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

    Boyfriend: So, do you think anybody ever actually threw out the baby with the bath water?
    Girlfriend: Yup.
    Boyfriend: Really? I mean, how could you throw out a baby with bath water?
    Girlfriend: I don’t know. Maybe by accident. You know, back in the old days people gave baths to all their kids using the same water. They didn’t throw out the water between baths, and the baby was last. That’s where the expression comes from, y’know.
    Boyfriend: But you seriously think that someone threw out a baby with the bath water? I don’t.
    Girlfriend: You don’t think that through the entire history of mankind no one — not one person — threw out the baby with bathwater? Even accidentally?
    Boyfriend: Hmmm… I don’t know. How much do you think those tubs weighed, anyway. I mean, they had to be pretty heavy, right?
    Girlfriend: I suppose, but it had to happen. How else would they come up with the expression?
    Boyfriend: Well, you know the expression ‘Happy as a two-tailed dog?” Well, you don’t need to see a two-tailed dog in order to come up with the expression.
    Girlfriend: Well, I’m just saying. Things were different back then. We don’t take baths like that anymore.

    Girl on train #1: I brought $500 with me but when I exchanged it I only got 250. I figured it had to last me since they took half my money. But then I found out it cost 40 pence to pee.
    Girl on train #2: No way!
    Girl on train #1: The thing is, what you’ve gotta understand about this place is that a pair of shoes cost like 160 pounds.
    Girl on train #2: So that’s like $160?
    Girl on train #1: Yeah, wait. No. It’s divided in half.
    Girl on train #2: Oh, so they cost $80. That’s nuts!

    Twenty-something girl talking loudly into her cell phone: So they said it’s not ringworm — it’s some kind of skin virus that LOOKS like ringworm. And they said I’m really lucky because so far it’s only on my back and stomach, not, like, my whole body and face. The tests come back on Friday, but they said it’s probably really contagious. I just hope it goes away before my trip to Miami!
