Ethanol ate my ice maker!
It seemed like such a good idea. Put ethanol in the waer
line to my ice maker, and make ethanol cubes. No more complaining from my inlaws, about watering down the drinks. Problem is, that the ethanol softened the intake valve. My entire freezer over flowed with ethanol. It ran out the vents. My dog was lapping it up, my toddlers were licking it off the floor. Finally, ethanol softened my ice maker, and now it's a lump of soft plastic on the bottom of the freezer. My dog is having a vomit in the garden, and my toddlers are rolling around the floor, laughing hysterically. I wonder if the ice maker is under warranty. I've got to go, now my toddlers have forgotten how to walk. Maybe I can get pictures of their precious first steps, this time. Ethanol ate my ice maker. -- Christopher A.

Book I read, many years ago. Used to be illegal for Indians
to buy whiskey, so they bought cough syrup instead. Anyhow, Mormons aren't supposed to consume coffee, tea, alcohol, or harmful drugs. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Naah, Indians tend to be alcoholics. I'd rather marry a
Russian bride. (More seriouisly, I've never married. Keep chasing women, but havn't caught one.) -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

How true the statement "A man chases a woman until she catches him." Yes, it's the women that do the choosing. I commend for your consideration the book "Sexual Choices, Why Women Pick the Men They Do." It reads like a preliminary version of a master's thesis, but the author puts the subject on a BIOLOGICAL basis. She starts with two unprovable, but common-sense believable statements: * We all have a genetic mandate to reproduce, and * It's the female that does the actual choosing of a mate. And one axiom: * Sperm are cheap, ova are dear. This leads to two radically different reproductive strategies: * A male's best strategy is to impregnate as many females as possible, * A female's best strategy is to garner the best sperm she can. All that said, ranking the reasons women pick the mates they do: #1 Parental approval of the prospective mate, especiall that of her mother. #2 Does the man exhibit "fatherly" characteristics (About #5 is "The man must be smarter than she" - but not to worry. If he in fact is not, she will invent a way in which he is. "Billy Bob don't have much book learnin', but he just KNOWS when to trust a body! I could never even do that."). Now you can't usually do much about #1, but #2 is a no brainer: * Smile everytime you see a kid, * Wistfully wonder out loud, "I wish I had a bunch of kids", * Point out cute kids ("Look at the red hair on that boy!" or "I think little girls are just darling in pinafores", etc.) It won't be long 'til they're screaming "I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!" while in the middle of a passionate moment! |
