You may not realize this, but there are several women who read this thread, and I for one am disgusted. M BTW...........you just got another ignore.

who gets upset by this joke? People on the political correctness committee? I hope they not only use the ignore button but also take the thread off their watch list. They need to be insulated from affronts. Might cause them constipation. Or diarrhea.

Given the mood on the thread, I'm risking eternal damnation for my sorry soul.....but this was my plight on my wedding night....verify on snopes, CIA, DNC, whatever... Anyway.....while getting ready to consummate the nuptials, my blushing innocent bride cried out...."OOOOHHH A Wee-Wee!!!!" Though extremely eager and about bursting with pride, I took the time to name off about 10-15 of the 10,000 more adult terms for male sexual organ to help update her vocabulary....to which she replied: "I've seen plenty of those....and I assure you that's a Wee-Wee".

very funny;0) Contest warns: Label these ‘laughable’ Associated Press / May 18, 2011 DETROIT — Ballpoint pen-chewers, take note: The cap in your mouth can obstruct breathing if swallowed. Common sense? Apparently for speakers of French, Spanish, and German. The warning appears only in the English section of the multilingual instructions from the pen manufacturer, according to the creator of the Wacky Warning Labels contest. The pen-cap caveat is among five finalists announced yesterday in the 14th annual contest that calls out silly warning labels and rails against lawsuits it deems frivolous. “The lawsuit problem is a uniquely American problem,’’ said Bob Dorigo Jones, who started the contest, which is sponsored by the Atlanta-based Center for America. “People in other countries do not sue when they cause an injury to themselves because their systems don’t allow it,’’ said Dorigo Jones, a senior fellow of the center. Other finalists include “Does not supply oxygen’’ on a dust mask and “Avoid drowning. Remove safety cover from spa when in use’’ on a hot tub cover. Also making the list is this label for a leather handgun holster designed to look like a personal digital assistant: “For gun only, not a functional day planner.’’ Another warning on the list tells would-be bicycle riders, “The action depicted in this brochure is potentially dangerous. The riders seen are experts or professionals.’’ © Copyright 2011 Globe Newspaper Company.
