Gets me to thinking. That, and of course I don't speak mechanic worth a
hoot. I don't speak Afro American, either, know I'm sayin. Sho rat?

I need a two and a half to the back for exposure. Call in a box, and get
a couple guys up to blow. (Oddly enough, if you're a fire fighter, none
of this is sexual in nature.)

Anyone remember the movie with John Candy, he was banging around,
declaring how he was going to get his load into you. The neighbor woman
who came over to visit took it wrong, he was trying to get the clothes
dryer door to open (metal clothes dryer; finally some metal content).

I can go into my locksmith wholesale house, and ask for a box of tail
screws, and not have to buy them drinks and tell em they are pretty.


I can speak Engineer with such a thick dialect that most engineers can't
track what I'm saying.

But the double entendres are not thick on the ground.

Why am I not happy that they have found common ground?
