Try Again

what bees produce milk ?

apparantly came from Chris Moyles on radio 1 phoning around the EU countries (hotel receptionists I think) trying to see "if any of the foreigners had a sense of humour" (bit of an oxymoron there me thinks) and asking that simple question.

it transpires that only Germans thought it funny - that again is another oxymoron.

having said all that - its certainly one of lifes little conundrums and I thought I might as well give you the answer to save sleepless nights etc.

Lee. - (favourite subject) - is that bees or boobees?

My question is...

.. why can't you lick your own elbow?

[leehack]

Because the minimum distance from your mouth to your shoulder is always shorter than the distance from your shoulder to your elbow, unless you are deformed.

People than can dislocate their shoulder could do this i would imagine.

[jont]

Of all the things you could lick the elbow is not at the top of the list surely?

[leehack]

Do expand on your needs Jonty.....

[jont]

.. a Mr Whippy 99 in this weather ... what else is there on the lickability front?

[fleetwood]

....if you are on a swing, and need to hold on with both hands, you need to carry your Mr Whippy somewhere, and the crook of your elbow would seem an ideal place from which to sneak a lick between swings - surely a case of bad design?!

meanwhile, in another part of town, the queue at the Doctors surgery increases by one, as the patient tries to explain that he only dislocated his shoulder, to see if he could lick his elbow...

you do realise, that I am supposed to be calculating the emergency route to hospital number 2, should hospital number 1 be full up, when fleetwood sprog attempts to enter this mad world..... Mrs F won't be happy!

[leehack]

Dude your knees must be wobbling. Mine are too, but only cos i just paid for the nursery furniture.

Many children can suck their big toe's, but I guess thats not what you mean

[leehack]

I can suck my toe, but i keep getting sock fluff stuck in between my teeth, so ive stopped it for now.

[TraceyHand]

[fleetwood]

I guess it serves me right looking in just before bedtime...

my thought pattern over the last 60 seconds went as follows:


awww....baby sucking big toe....


hmmm...sexy...tracey sucking her big toe....


arrrhhhhhh....gross.....lee and his sock fluffy teeth


I guess thats life!

[TraceyHand]

LOL Martin
That's the train of thought of someone who hasn't had enough sleep...

And you're just in for a whole lot more of that soon, aren't you?

[fleetwood]

We're under starters orders Tracey...

I don't know whose more nervous - me or the missus - but excited at the same time.

Watch this space - I'm off to get some sleep
