Rhana Griffin

Mental musing of a fried brain (tasty with fried onions and tomato sauce!)

Why is there an expiration date on SOUR cream?

What cruel bastard put the letter S in the word LISP?

What will happen to the cosmic fabric of the world if we discover that the hokey pokey really is what it’s all about?

“Cute as a button” Is that supposed to be a compliment? Since when are buttons cute?

Why is Donkey Kong called “DONKEY” Kong if he’s a monkey?

Why is Bra singular and Panties plural?

If you fed a bee nothing but oranges, would it start making marmalade?

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill themselves, is it considered a hostage situation?

What color is a chameleon on a mirror?

If your feet smell and your nose runs, are you built upside down?

...........................sigh. Don’t mind me. I’m just pondering… went to bed, couldn’t get to sleep. Hot milk maybe?

    I am sure that would have saved a lot of people a lot of trouble. And here is one last one but it needs a little explaing.

    Working shifts a couple of years ago, I was late coming into the office the next morning. When the Project Engineer wanted to know where I was I told him that the voices in my head told me to clean the guns. Needless to say, for the rest of the day he was wary of me

  • Julie Langford

    Julie LangfordGreeter, 3 months ago

    Now – whatever number you have arrived at – you need to find a letter in the alphabet that corresponds with it

    eg

    1 = A
    2 = B
    3 = C
    4 = D
    5 = E
    6 = F

    and so on. If you number is higher than 26, just repeat through the alphabet again – find your letter, dont tell me what it is, and think of a mammal starting with that letter

    Let me know when youre ready

  • Julie Langford

    Julie LangfordGreeter, 3 months ago

    Opps – made a boob – think of a country starting with that letter, not a mammal

  • Rhana Griffin

    Rhana Griffin in reply to Julie Langford’s comment, 3 months ago

  • Julie Langford

    Julie LangfordGreeter, 3 months ago

    LOL – so did I rhana
    Let me type it again for you
    Think of a number
    Double it
    Add 8
    Divide it by 2
    Take away the number you originally thought of
    find a letter corrsponding to the number you have arrived at
    think of a country starting with that lettter

    Let me know when you are ready

  • Rhana Griffin

    Rhana Griffin in reply to Julie Langford’s comment, 3 months ago

  • Julie Langford

    Julie LangfordGreeter, 3 months ago

    Why is that, that people who cannot sleep, or have pure minds – start thinking of mammals and countries? More specifically – why do they think that there are elephants in Denmark?

    Why does it happen when you’re barefooted that poop on the ground goes in between your toes, & on your heel when you have shoes on??

    Why is it when a plane crashes the thing that survives is The Little Black Box, Why not just build the plane out of the same stuff the Box is made of????

    Why do you drive on a parkway & park in a driveway????

    Does the light in the fridge really go off when you close the door?? We never know because we eat all the witnesses..

    How can it be cold as hell one day & hot as hell the next???

    Last question.
    Why do they call out the whole fire department when a cat gets hung in a tree?? Cats are natural born climbers. How many Cat Skeletons have you ever seen in a tree????

    Why is there an expiration date on SOUR cream?
    For the same reason there is one on cheese. That is cream that’s even more sour!

    What cruel bastard put the letter S in the word LISP?
    The same bastard that put the letter 3 T’s in STUTTER!

    What will happen to the cosmic fabric of the world if we discover that the hokey pokey really is what it’s all about?
    What on earth is the hokey pokey? If it’s the hokey cokey then i’m sure the cosmic fabric of the world would find something to argue about it still. Is the left leg more important than the right arm or something like that.

    “Cute as a button” Is that supposed to be a compliment? Since when are buttons cute?
    Button noses on babies are cute, so I guess it comes from there. I mean it’s better than as cute as spinach or something like that so please be a bit more grateful.

    Why is Donkey Kong called “DONKEY” Kong if he’s a monkey?
    It just sounds better, I guess a large amount of caffiene or vimto intake led to the ultimate decision. Somewhere on a parellel universe someone’s playing Monkey Kong with a Donkey as the lead character.

    Why is Bra singular and Panties plural?
    Because panties is such a fntastic word. Go on just keep saying it and tell me a smile doesn’t come to your face!

    If you fed a bee nothing but oranges, would it start making marmalade?
    I fed a bee nothing but cider once and it didn’t make anything. I’m sure the citric acid would have the same result as the alchohol. Some things are probably best just left behind closed lab doors.

    If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill themselves, is it considered a hostage situation?
    No, technically they would need to issue demands. It would probably be just mass suicide.

    What color is a chameleon on a mirror?
    Easy – On a mirror, it would colour itself to blend in to the frame, so possibly brown or black (depending on your household interior). In a mirror it would still blend in to its surroundings as usual but you wouldn’t be able to see it twice.

    If your feet smell and your nose runs, are you built upside down?
    I don’t think anyone’s built. Some are created better than others. Judging by my answers above, someone has a lot of explaining to do when it comes to me. I want answers!

    (p.s. Didn’t Radiohead once sing, troubled words of a troubled mind? Somehow that phrase has sprung to mind).
