“I'd wipe with leaves if my wife would let me. She likes the super soft triple ply stuff. I guess if my arse were ass sensitive as her you know what I'd want something soft too. ??? Guess I'll never know.”

“heehee...no sand paper for my tushi.”

“That stuff isn't so bad. Think of all the extra trees you'd save and how much less waste you'd make without triple ply TP.

I used to be a Charmin only girl. I gave the other stuff a try for a month and don't miss the fluffy stuff at all.”

“Content (?) unsuitable for Canucks.”

“Hey, the Costco TP is good stuff. I forget how much a bale of it is though.”

“Try a corncob... Or the Sears Roebuck catalogue, just keep it by the biffy and rip out pages as needed.”

“Gremlin is the only one here with even a speck of decorum.

Old Charter sounds like Spam's Aytch 'n Aytch(Ancient Age).”

“Decorum? I thought it was a history lesson, both of my examples have been used to, well, you know....”

“Well, Gremlin has just about a speck.

Stay out of Walmart.”

“Pinecones are full of fiber right? Well...isnt fiber supposed to be good for you? :D”

“Hi, my name is Treebeard and I'm a frog. I was a toad for a year and then I fell of the lily pad. But, I jumped back on with a vengeance and now I am a full fledged frog and haven't drunk anything for a whole 18 months!

“I suppose you've tried this, Tree?”

“It is believed that Shakespeare was 46 around the time that the King James Version of the Bible was written. In Psalms 46, the 46th word from the first word is shake and the 46th word from the last word is spear.”

“The saying 'Mind your P's and Q's' comes from the time when alcoholic beverages were served/sold in Pints and Quarts. Thus, to mind your P's and Q's meant to be careful how much you drank.”

“The word posh, which denotes luxurious rooms or accomodations, originated when ticket agents in England marked the tickets of travelers going by ship to the Orient. Since there was no air conditioning in those days, it was always better to have a cabin on the shady side of the ship as it passed through the Mediterranean and Suez area. Since the sun is in the south, those with money paid extra to get cabin's on the left, or port, traveling to the Asia, and on the right, or starboard, when returning to Europe. Hence their tickets were marked with the initials for Port Outbound Starboard Homebound, or POSH.”

“Montpelier, VT is the only state capital that doesn't have a McDonald's in it.”

“That's just unAmerican!”

“'Mind your p's and q's' is a reference to the 'printers' devils'.

I am of an age where high school shops classes taught moveable type printing (we printed tickets for proms and concerts, et c). Moveable type - lower case because it was in the lower, horizontal case, not the cupboard-like upper case which was above it, is upside down and backward to appear normal when printed.

Thus 'b' would look like a 'q' and a 'd' would look like a 'p' and so one would remind devils (apprentices) to mind their p's and q's.

As for pints and quarts, we still buy beer by the pint and draught by the half-pint or quart, even though official measurement is SI (metric) here in Canada.

Also, living in a bilingual region and working in French, I guess I'm a horny toad ...
