funny story. when I was about 18 I was taking some accounts to another business.
I got a whistle, and someone said "wouldn't you like a piece of that!"
I turned around and saw that my dad (a construction worker) was standing next to the
guy who said that! I said "hi, dad, I didn't know you worked on this street?"
The guy turned white and my dad laughed his head off!

Men: Do you like being called "Sir"? Women: Do you like being called "Ma'am"?
I like being called ma'am. I taught my children that way, also. Also to refer to their grandparents by their last names with a cute first name if they wished "gramma," "nana," etc. Also to refer to aunts and uncles by "uncle or aunt" and their first names.
Unfortunately, my grandchildren call ALL adults including relatives by their first names.
It kills me when they do it.

Answer to:
Why do people drive slow in the fast lane?
My personal favorite thing to do (on regular roads with lights), is when the little darlings that just CAN"T WAIT to get around you and sit on your bumper, hit a RED light and have to stop.
I usually catch up to them doing the speed LIMIT and wave and throw them a kiss while pointing at the light!

Now THAT would be a deterrent, don'tcha think.

Then don't let them die, commute their sentence and let them just live with their wounds.

Answer to:
What is your opinion: Aside from electrocution or lethal injection here in the United states for murderers. Do you think they should die by the same means that they murdered their victims? Lethal seems an easy way out. And electrocution isn't used much.

Answer to:
Which method of execution would cause the inmate to pee in his pants during the process,lethal injection or electrocution? Would lethal injection cause it when the flow of chemicals,started,or would electrocution cause it when the electricity was applied

How can I lower my food cost?
You can't. The more you try, the more ounces are taken out of your purchases and the prices are raised each time they do. Stockholder Pigs.
Answer to:
When I grew up, honest weight was 1#, 2#, and 3# for canned foods.
Honest ounces were 4, 8, 16, 32, 64-oz. Please see explanation below.
Honesty is the key word here.
I have watched as the food companies have been taking out ounce after ounce of food from canned, liquid, and frozen foods; while adding a nickel or dime per item each time they do so. You are not getting the foodstuffs you used to get and are being duped. The latest was ice cream that has always been 1 pint, 1 quart, or 1/2-gal.
Now it is being sold in 1-1/2 quart...

Answer to:
Which would be harder for you? To live in a world filled with super egotistical people or a world filled with people who didn't think they were so hot?
You can bring up people who don't think they're so hot, but you can't bring down to reality whose who are super egotistical, how boring. I would rather be around real people.

Answer to:
Would you kill a pedophile if you had the chance?
If a pedophile molested my child, grandchild, or any relative of mine, I would not kill it. But, I would maim it in a likewise despicable manner. When a molester does it's thing, it ruins the life of that child, period!
I would not hesitate for a moment to ruin it's life.

Answer to:
If you could commit any crime without guilt or remorse, what would it be (please be detailed)
If someone molested my child, grandchild, great-grandchild (or any small relative for that matter), I would not have any remorse in maiming them in the same exact manner. I wouldn't kill them. Then I would happily go off to prison where I would be Queen.

Answer to:
I live in the suburbs of a large city, have a great job, a big house, a hot wife, a fantastic child and I make a lot of money. What are two things I could do to absolutely screw up this dream life and lose everything? I only have two weeks.
Liquidate all your assets. Put them in the stock market. That ought to do it. Then go on a loooooooongng vacation overseas. Then wait to see what happens.
After the stock fails, and she divorces you because of it, go get another good job and make it up to the child only.

Answer to:
What's the difference between a Born again Christian & a very conservative Christian? Do they differ on anything or has the Born again Christians just become stricter Christians?
I have personally felt that Birth-raised christians, of any denomination, usually walk-the-walk, and do it quietly. . . . I have personally felt that Born-again christians are born-again for an ulterior reason, therefore just talking-the-talk and doing it loudly . . . again, for an ulterior reason.

Answer to:
Are adages / proverbs always or usually true? For example does " only the good dies young" mean that anybody over 60 must be a real --------? Any example that seems contrary to you?
'only the good die young' because they haven't had the time to get bad, that's all.
'as a man/woman thinketh, so is he/she,' means that if a person sees bad in everything, then he/she is probably bad. if he/she finds good, then he/she is probably good.

When anyone talks about the trinity they always mention the idea of Jesus being or not being God. Where in the bible is the trinity mentioned and why is the Holy spirit or Ghost never talked about? Where in the Bible is the holy spirit called God?
nowhere in the bible is the 'trinity' mentioned.
one of the ten commandments in the 'old' testament states 'thou shall have no other gods before me!'
but, we are required to worship 'the son of god, the mother of the son of god, the stepfather of the son of god, and anybody else' that the catholic business dreamed up.
