An interesting quote from an old friend of mine:

"You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't wipe your friends on the couch". :lol:

- or-

"You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose."

Actually it is; I couldn't hold it back ... my brothers and I still crack each other up with it ... you can take the man out of the 7th grade but you can't take the 7th grade out of the man ....

I don't know I can associate with all this grossness - and to think the people at work object when I go for a good dump - and say "Well, that's a load off my mind" when I return :shock: We'll soon deteriorate into jokes like "What's green and hangs from trees :?: " (A: Gorilla snot.), or "Kleenex lavatory paper comes in 3 strengths - extra strong, strong and urrgh :!: "

Worse still - "what's the difference between a good sh*g and a good sh*t :?: " (A: A good sh*t doesn't want you to cuddle it afterwards :!:)

Don't say it then; say: "I just dropped the kids off at the pool". No point in alienating anyone ... :shock:

As ever; not every thread is a world-beater... this one ... beginning to remind me of a song by Norm Nostril and his Nine Nasty Nose Pickers....

Sometimes it's the things peple say in all innocence....woman in the office said yesterday "I trimmed my bush last weekend." Had to ask if Brazilian or Hollywood - she said she had been referring to gardening....

Did she slap you? Here, the employer can be sued for permitting a hostile workplace and possibly you for sexual harassment on account of remarks like that ... although pretty funny.... :lol:

Same here - but they all expect me to be outrageous so I'd probably been slapped if I hadn't said anything :mrgreen:

Capnjuan's right. Over here you'd have to keep it to yourself, and be inrageous.
