Ask the Wise Sage! email eener@juno.com with your questions The Wise Sage blew up her computer real good because a) she didn't get any letters in the last couple weeks, and b) part of her puter was broke anyway, so she figured "what the hick, I'll just pretend it's a tractor." ************************* Fruit Bats in Your Toilet ************************* **To see your original, funny stories, poems, ideas, or whatever in this section, email melvan@wildstar.net This is a story that Spazzy, an IRC friend sent to us. He has graciously allowed us to include it here. Enjoy! This weekend we took the boys out to see a movie. We saw "Jack" with Robin Williams. He makes a great 10 yr old kid. ;-) Anyway, during the movie, my 5-yr-old son Nicholas made a comment during one scene that cracked up everyone in the theater. In this scene, Jack's father (a photographer) was on a photo shoot for some kind of farm or produce or growers advertisement or calendar or something like that (no, I don't remember exactly). In the scene he was shooting were some HUGE carrots (looked like large rockets or missiles) and sitting on them were these ... ahem ... buxom blonde beauties wearing somewhat revealing attire (you get the idea). Anyway, when this scene came on, it was very quiet and Nicholas said in a LOUD 5-yr-old voice "WHOOOOAAA!" He of course was referring to the giant carrots, not the cleavage (yes, we confirmed this after the movie was over). ;-) But, the rest of the people in the movie theater thought he was referring to the ladies, and the whole place busted out laughing. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard, but I also kinda slid down low in my seat, too. :-) Sheesh!!! Kids!!! I still chuckle now when I think about it. Something funny Darin said that NEEDS to be printed!!! lol We were talking about warts...and he was saying how when he was little he had one on his foot, and the doctor was "farting around with it, taking his time, making money off it...he just put some WD40 on it." I burst into hysterical laughter!! Of course, what he meant was Compound W...not OIL!! ACTUAL QUOTES BY EENER "Something stinks in Denver." "It wasn't missing, I just didn't know where it was!"
