“You Only Use 10% Of Your Brain.”
FALSE

Just another piece of horseshit you’ve heard all your life.  Modern nuclear imaging clearly shows all of our brain is used for different functions.  Some tasks use more – some less – but virtually all parts, throughout  the brain, are used at some time. None just sits there in a dormant state.

And you had so much hope – didn’t you?

Word of The Day: Dormant (DOR-ment) adjective;  Unused.

Three generations of Butts have owned a pharmacy in Corydon, Indianna and it’s quite an asset. Being the Butt of jokes cannot be fun, Butt the family has kissed their name – and made a helluva commercial:

Word of The Day: Pharmacy (FAR-meh-cee) noun. A place to buy legal drugs.

Boobs, tits, knockers, bosom, bezooms – whatever – I never was a “breast guy.” Actually, I never was a ‘body parts’ kind of guy.  And I certainly hope the women I knew weren’t enamored with parts either.

It makes me sad to think most women in our culture don’t like their own breasts.  They think they’re too big, too small, not pointing up, not the same size, sagging, asymitrical, or have the wrong size nipples.  They think men look at skin flicks and one-hand magazines and compare their breasts to those pictured.

Some men do. You can tell them when they walk by because they’re  hunched over and scraping their knuckles on the sidewalk.  But most men probably don’t think of womens’ breasts as much as women do – and that’s sad if women think about them (and themselves) in a negative way.

There’s a neat site named 007b that shows hundreds of breasts in all shapes and sizes.  There’s also an accompanying story from each woman describing her relationship with her breasts.  It’s basically by women for women but guys can learn a lot here and women can learn they are not alone when they mistakenly think less of their breasts.

Word of The Day: Enamored (e-NAM-erd) transitive verb. Overly loved or fascinated.

Shawn Mossow

A 24-year old man from Stockholm, New York wanted to know “what it feels like to be shot.” So his 25-year old equally-intelligent friend, Shawn Mossow, picked up a 22-caliber rifle and shot him in the leg.

Police have not released the volunteer-victim’s name but he’s expected to make a complete recovery. Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment and is being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail.

I’ll bet the combined IQ of these two would not equal that of a can of peas.

Word of The Day: Hurts (hertz) transitive noun. To experience physical pain.

“The Sexational Pam” (her stage name), 70, is a virgin and has decided it’s time to get married and have sex. She sings in night clubs.

Pam Shaw (her real name) said, “Men saw the outfits I wore on stage and thought I would be easy. But I’ve never really been intimate with a man, just a bit of kissing. I had a sexy stage name and dressed sexy but that was all for my career.”

Miss Shaw a half-century ago.

This septuagenarian doesn’t believe in sex before marriage although many men have made passes at her including singer Tom Jones.  A number of men want to go to bed with her now – but forget why.

Word of The Day: Septuagenarian(sep-tua-ge-NAR-i-an) Noun.  A person between 70 and 79-years old.

Now what could Newsweek do to have a more scintillating cover than Time? Hmmm…

Word of The Day: Scintillating (SIN-til-late-ing) adjective. Cleverly; brilliantly.

The two main female complaints are:  “Men don’t talk” and “Men don’t show emotions”.

What about talking? The average woman speaks around 21,000 words a day – the average man: about 12,000.  So women, when you’re all fired up to machine gun words after work, please realize men may have used up all of theirs by about 3:30. They probably don’t have any words left.

And who said talking more is better?  Many times fewer words are better if they’re the right words. Just ask the guys.

I know, I know…it’s to “relate” – emotional bonding.  Oops – guys crash again.  Showing emotions is a tricky thing for men – and the deck is stacked against us.  Women don’t want men to show all of their emotions.  Anger and fear aren’t best sellers – neither is melancholy.  So guys not only have to hack up feelings they’d rather keep to themselves, they’ve got to throw out the “right” feelings.

Who made up these rules – Oprah?

Why do guys always accept being changed?

Most psychologists would agree it’s based on that old joke most of us heard as kids:

Boy – “You don’t have one of these!”
Girl – “Yeh, but with one of these – I can have all of those I want”.

True?  Hey, don’t ask me.  I just used up all my words for today.
