You mean explain the milk thing? It has to do with Carnation Instant Milk if I got it right.

Nah. How about, "I think about it a lot but can't quite decide how I really feel. Why don't you take off your top and tell me your thoughts?"
(too direct?)

I'm with Chip on this one...and it was his idea.

Although "tell me your thoughts" probably wouldn't have been how I ended that sentence. ;)

Doh! Of course it does Diana, thanks! B)

Now, for the horses and dogs thing.... did she offer an opinion as to which one this particular tailgater had been? :D
 
Diana said:
Run Dave! Run!!!!!

But first answer this question. How did you "feel" about that? ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It absolutely floored me :eek: I was at a complete loss for words. I laughed so hard, I snorted out of my nose and found it wasn't completely clear:D .

I'm sure part of it was because when I used to horseback ride while hunting, I had one horse that just wasn't happy unless his nose was up another horse's butt. It was just a matter of time before he'd trot up to the back of this one horse especially and insert his proboscis deftly up her behind. Usually, only a short while before I heard this Clop--Clop as she kick up her rear legs and kick him squarely in the chest!!! Then, he'd back off for a short time; then, you guessed it, he'd trot back up for a sniff. No matter what I did with the reigns, yelled, kicked, he would do anything for that sniff!! One day, I pulled so hard on one reighn his head was turned so far around toward me I could see both his eyes!! Somehow, he kept going straight until I let up: then we'd trot up for another sniff.

So, s..h..e r..e..a..l..l..y s..t..r..u..c..k a n..e..r..v..e.

Nah, don't run. First, please tell me you came up with the same witty retort that crossed my mind IMMEDIATELY after reading her comment!

Ken:

I can't wait to hear, but the only retort I gave had to do with foreign elements being eliminated from my nose when I snorted.

Oh, dear. Well, that was almost as suave as Chip's comment. What did she say next?

oh wait a minute, I see you said something about getting advice on women. I will go hide now, not my area of expertise.

Tsk, tsk, Dave. Didn't follow your own advice. Right answer would have been:

"Oh, wait a minute, I see you said something about getting advice on women. I don't know much about it, fill me in with what you know."

What was wrong with Chip's comment? :confused:

Works for me...and has, in a slightly different form. :D

I dunno why, but this thread is making me think of the trailers I've been seeing for "The 40-Year Old Virgin" movie that's due out this week.

Getting misguided help from his friend:

Friend: Problem is most guys don't know how to talk to women.

40YOV: What am I supposed say?

Friend: Nothing, just ask questions.

....

Later, girl in bookstore: Are you looking for something?

40YOV: Is there something I should be looking for?

Girl: Um... we have a great section for do-it-yourself.

40YOV: Do you like to do it yourself?

:rofl:

Guess I'd better add it to my repertoire, then! :drink:

Well, you know, I don't remember exactly what she said after that. I felt a bit embarrassed, and didn't dwell on the comment. She smiled when she saw me decorate my chin. We kinna went back to talking about the marketplace.

I've told this story to my nieces and a couple 'o friends. Now, whenever someone tailgates me, this is what I think of. And, on many occasions, rather than getting angry, I slow down and wonder if they were a dog or horse in their former life.:D

Which still doesn't really explain why they're being such an a$$ in this one.
 
In a year or two, somebody is going to ask if anybody saved this thread. Well, I'll have it.

Good thing, its damned funny, and many of us can relate to Dave's predicament.

I had a crush on him when I was a kid, and was pretty sure back then that I could have made him more human. :)
 
Well, I didn't mean for this thread to be that 'different'. Wasn't it Will Rogers that something along the lines of the truth being funnier than fiction??

Haven't you ever been in a situation where at one time or another you could here the Dee Dee Dee Dee of the Twilight Zone somewhere in the background?

Here I just spent a few minutes, well, maybe an hour actually, with this lady and she's given me an entire new perspective on why people follow so close.

(Oh, BYW, my Father-in-law eventually got rid of that horse that used ta sniff so much :rolleyes: ). And, I don't think it is paranoia, if someone is really after you.

And....where is Ken's retort? Is it somehow like Portnoy's Complaint? Do we have to beg Ken? Frank would like to know if his thought of the right response 20 minutes later was as appropriate as Kens'!! There is nothing worse than thinking of what appears to be a great witticism only to have someone roll one off their tongue before you share your thought!

BTW, will be flying to San Diego tomorrow; so, I'll be off line for awhile.

Since the thread is apparently winding down......

I have a good friend who tells a story about dating strange women after his divorce. He was in the car with a date one night coming back from a bar. She was driving. They had not had a good date and both were still on the rebound after bad relationships. She turned to him and asked, "Have you ever thought about just ending it all?" He, fresh out of divorce court, said, "I've thought about it before."

Next thing he knows she's got the accelerator on the floor blasting through red lights at the speed of heat through downtown OKC. He swears he was screaming at her, "I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE!!!!"

I think it was their only date.

Yeah, I think I might just keep this one to myself.
 
Here I was wondering how I missed this thread with all of these posts from the last few days. :goofy: :rofl:
