The other toilet (which is nearer the main sewer) has never failed to

Another excellent reason to ban children from houses. Seriously, though, how
does anyone put up with kids?


Seriously, though, how does anyone put up with kids?

How? "drugs & alcohol" ........ for me, not them

Why? as follows

If managed correctly, they eventually grow up, leave home, transition
off "the dole" and buy you expensive gifts & dinners and give great
satisfaction for "a job well done" or is that "complete disaster
averted" ?

AND provide you with grandchildren, thoroughly more enjoyable than
children and through whom you can exact your revenge.

Whether or not the monetary ROI is there, remains to be
determined...... I've been too afraid to run the numbers.
