Who are the Microsoft office clip art people? I was flipping through them this morning for a fun picture to spice up my, "I'm leaving early today" e-mail and I think I found my long lost Uncle; he's throwing a Frisbee while a lady sets up a picnic.

 

Does having a window washer's crotch at eye level outside the window of your cube for 30 minutes constitute sexual harassment? If so, can I still file sue if I asked for his phone number?

 

Ok so I had to following conversation, today they are doing maintenance on the compound so for the past 4+ hours there has been a lot of hammering, Sawing, BANGING! Well you get the point.

 

Cube Buddy: God! They have been making noise out there all morning! I can't think straight it's so noisy. How would they like it if I came to their job and hammered for hours!

 

Me: Actually, I think they would probably really like it if you did that since apparently their job is hammering.

 

Cube buddy: You can be real sarcastic sometimes!!!

 

Me: Yeah well you can be some things too! (the noise is getting to me too)

_______________________________________________________________

 

This is something that I have been researching for about 2 days now.

 

What's wrong with swallowing?

 

Now I know some of my readers minds have gone to a dirty place, but allow me to disappoint you, I'm referring to gum you know hubba bubba, banana bubblicious, Bazooka Joe.

 

Raise your hand if your mom warned and/or threatened you not to swallow your gum as a child? (ok, put your hand down this is the internet I can't actually see you)

 

Anyway, I was asking around and I have heard the following things can occur if you swallow.

 

* The gum will stay in your tummy forever

* The gum will turn into a rock in your stomach and clog your "poop shoot"

* The gum will breed and make gummy off spring that will infect your entire body

 

There are also the various threats that accompany the notion of swallowing.

 

* If you swallow that gum you will NEVER EVER get another piece!

* If you swallow that gum you will go to hell.

* If you swallow that gum goblins will come at night cut you open and take it 

   back, that's why we spit it out when we are done.

 

Now, I did not make up any of the aft for mentioned gum swallowing effects or threats, they were all told to me by various co-workers over the last two days.

I gotta tell you I'm amazed anyone chews gum. How does Wrigley stay in business?

 

I have come to the following synopsis:

 

The people I work with are warped, controlled insane people, and I should start keeping a taser in my desk and mothers really don't want their children to swallow because they want to instill in them early on.

 

"Don't attempt to swallow unless you are positive you can get it down"

 

(don't you guys just love how I brought this whole thing back around to that dirty dirty place)

 

O and last but not least a moment of silence for my Nephews friend ON died yesterday, they had a good morning together, talking, playing, reading stories and J took it hard when he woke up from his nap and found that ON, had well moved ON and was not moving and grandma could not help him. J and ON had a bond that only a 4 year old boy and a house fly could have.

 

I hope there's a big pile of shit in heaven for you ON

 

I should probably disclaimer this so I don't sound like a jerk: ON is/was actually, a houes fly, my nephew named him ON.

My mind did go to the gutter when you mentioned swallowing. Of course, you knew mine would. LOL! I've swallowed gum for 20 years now and my poop shoot is clog-free. Just important FYI there.

Yeah, I checked and gum breaks down like any other food when you swallow it...why do people scare the crap out of children to get them to do what they want?

It's from the same people who told kids that they'd go blind if they masturbate. I've been doing that every day for the past 13 years and I can see fine. Umm...er...anyway...that got a bit awkward. Er...I think I'll leave now and go post a blog that's really, really good. I promise you'll like it as it's very random.

LOL Great blog Fran!!!!

As for the gum... My son used to swallow his gum all the time. Hubby used to get pissed because of all the stories you hear/heard as a child. So I did research too... I didn't read that it breaks down like regular food...it said it takes a little longer BUT you'd have to swallow one hell of a lot of the stuff to actually bung you up. So, it's unlikely it would ever happen.

Still, we tell our kids not to swallow it 'cause that just seems like the right thing to do. lol

My new obession are strange traditions, habits, and sayings we pass down without even realizing.

I think maybe the original fear of swallowing gum was choking, but people don't pass that piece of info down instead they would rather make the act much more ominous. My mom told me not to swallow my gum as a child too. I hear parents say it to their kids all the time.

I say on with the tradition, I think we should also tell them that flicking boogers can lead to early on-set artheritis.

LOL! I got one for ya... When I was a baby, my aunt used to tell me not to play with my belly button or my bum would fall off! LOL I didn't feel the need to pass that one along to my own kids, though.

Personally, I like the "don't pick your nose or your head will cave in" one. lol

LOL, I have never heard the bum will fall off on that's hilarious. The belly button is another thing that you are not allowed to pick at I have heard parents also tell their kids not to do that.

Are they afraid that you will open it up and accidently disembowel yourself.

I have heard the head caving in thing if you pick your nose I forgot about that one LOL.

When you are a kid your imagination goes crazy over these things. I just think of "Bobbies World" I loved that cartoon.

Kids crack me up! I'm not sure where they get these crazy ideas from. I love their imaginations though.

It was a nice view, but I think I stared at it a little too long people are beginning to talk. hee hee.

Guy walks into a bar with a monkey and orders a beer.
The monkey jumps to the pool table, picks up the eight ball, and swallows it whole.
The bartender throws them both out.

A month later the guy returns to the bar, with his monkey.
After assuring the bartender he will pay for any damages incurred, they are allowed to stay.
The monkey hops over to a table, grabs a grape off of a womens plate, shoves it up his ass, then puts it in his mouth and eats it.

The shocked bartender screams at the man, "What the hell was that about?!?".
The man replies, "After the last time he checks the size of anything before he swallows it.".

"If you swallow that gum you will go to Hell"; quite possibly the best line I've read in quite some time...

Yeah, that one was a classic. I think I might start keeping track of all the things people tell people they are going to hell for, that aren't actually within the confines of the 10 commandments (I'm not religious myself, but I think those are the stipulations for access or denial to hell)

When a heard that I thought of this friend of mine from highschool who's grandmother told me one day that Jacobs Ladder was forbiden but people climbed it to try and sneak into heaven and god smite them with thunder bolts and that's why there are different races, the blacks were at the top, then mexicans, and orientals.

I threw up on her kitchen table and walked home. I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm not religious

Ain't nothin' like a white supremecist for setting the mood for religious learning. What I love about them is how they can look at you and say, "What? What did I say that was wrong?"

And do you know what the sad part is? They really don't understand why what they say is wrong. This is also a good example of why we need to get rid of all these safety devices and rules. There's just not enough natural selection going on nowadays. A few more people running in the streets carrying scissors, and I won't have to wait in line at the store so long...

you know I have said the same thing about getting rid of the safety labels. I don't need a world full of people that would attempt to blow dry their hair in the shower if it weren't for that huge tag they put on them.

Also the tags that say do not use this grill inside, ugh I could go on for hours!

Down with safety.

My son and the neighbor boy once had a pet bee. The bee stunk the neighbor, surprise surprise. When they explained what had happened (they had been building him a "corral") my family couldn't help but laugh but the boy's father was not amused at all. His son is screaming bloody murder and we are suppressing giggles.

How could you not laugh, a bee corral!

Kids have huge imaginations and you don't want to do anything to stifle that weather it's being too serious or laughing so that they fill you are laughing at them rather then with them.

I rarely swallow, the only time I swallow is when I don't have something to wrap it in and throw it away, but generally I'm a spitter.

Mom taught me well!

I liked your blog a lot, but I couldn't help notice that Ryan still swallows gum. Ryan, why would you do that? I know you won't die or anything...but come on man, spit it out.

Apparently, Ryan's mom didn't threaten him enough as a child, like the rest of us.

I think most people have a no swallow policy though. Maybe, Ryan likes to live on the edge.
