/&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren&#39;t married, this is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine&quot; title=&quot;Wine&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in northern  Arizona  when she saw an elderly &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_people&quot; title=&quot;Navajo people&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;Navajo&lt;/a&gt; woman walking on the side of the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old Woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#39;What in bag?&#39; asked the old woman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, &lt;br /&gt;
&#39;It&#39;s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#39;Good trade.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
A study conducted by UCLA&#39;s Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the&lt;br /&gt;
kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where&lt;br /&gt;
she is in her menstrual cycle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and&lt;br /&gt;
masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she&lt;br /&gt;
tends to be more attracted to a man with &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape&quot; title=&quot;Duct tape&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;duct tape&lt;/a&gt; over his mouth and a&lt;br /&gt;
spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
No further studies are expected.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
An old Pilot sat down at the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/starbucks&quot; href=&quot;http://www.starbucks.com&quot; title=&quot;Starbucks&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot;&gt;Starbucks&lt;/a&gt; and ordered a cup of coffee.  As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.  She turned to the pilot and asked, &#39;Are you a real pilot?&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
He replied, &#39;Well, I&#39;ve spent my whole life flying &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/biplane&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biplane&quot; title=&quot;Biplane&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;biplanes&lt;/a&gt;, Cubs, Aeronca&#39;s, Neiuports, flew in &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/world_war_ii&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II&quot; title=&quot;World War II&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;WWII&lt;/a&gt; in a B-29, and later in the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/korean_war&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War&quot; title=&quot;Korean War&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;Korean conflict&lt;/a&gt;, taught 50 people to fly and gave rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
She said, &#39;I&#39;m a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/lesbian&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian&quot; title=&quot;Lesbian&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;lesbian&lt;/a&gt;.  I spend my whole day thinking about women.  As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women.  When I shower, I think about naked women.  When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The two sat sipping in silence..&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked, &quot;are you a real pilot?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
He replied, &#39;I always thought I was, but I just found out I&#39;m a lesbian.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;

What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!&quot; he said to himself. As he continued walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7 foot grizzly charging towards him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him. At that instant the atheist cried out: &quot;Oh my God!...&quot; Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.&lt;br /&gt;It was then that a bright light shone upon the man and a voice came out of the sky saying: &quot;You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don&#39;t exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The atheist looked directly into the light, &quot;It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the BEAR a Christian?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Very well,&quot; said the voice! The light went out. And the sounds of the forest resumed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke: &quot;Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful. Amen.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-a&quot; href=&quot;http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/5208f9da-5655-43b5-b45d-7dd2efa30aaf/&quot; title=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border: medium none ; float: right;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-img&quot; src=&quot;http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_b.png?x-id=5208f9da-5655-43b5-b45d-7dd2efa30aaf&quot; alt=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;zem-script more-related pretty-attribution&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js&quot; defer=&quot;defer&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5452271746550912571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4561979996637240006/5452271746550912571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/5452271746550912571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/5452271746550912571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/2009/08/non-believer.html' title='The Non Believer!'/><author><name>Madly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03117832028086133077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2130/2446887742_f2b6f80f2d_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561979996637240006.post-110573796505413389</id><published>2009-07-25T18:05:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T18:06:56.217-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Aisle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Grocery store"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Shopping"/><title type='text'>Easy, Albert...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class=&quot;zemanta-img&quot; style=&quot;margin: 1em; float: left; display: block; width: 310px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Storeisle.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b9/Storeisle.png/300px-Storeisle.png&quot; alt=&quot;Example of an American grocery store aisle.&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ; display: block;&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;zemanta-img-attribution&quot;&gt;Image via &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Storeisle.png&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;A woman in a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grocery_store&quot; title=&quot;Grocery store&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;grocery store&lt;/a&gt; happens upon a grandfather and his &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;poorly behaved 3 year-old grandson.

   The following is an actual question given on a University&lt;br /&gt;    of Washington chemistry mid term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The answer by one student was so &#39;profound&#39; that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, is why we now have the pleasure&lt;br /&gt;    of enjoying it as well:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle &#39;s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    One student, however, wrote the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let&#39;s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle &#39;s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This gives two possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    So which is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, &#39;It will be a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell&quot; title=&quot;Hell&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;cold day in Hell&lt;/a&gt; before I sleep with you,&#39; and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over! The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting &#39;Oh my God.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-a&quot; href=&quot;http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/55cd929f-c3cd-4767-be74-e3504c57b223/&quot; title=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border: medium none ; float: right;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-img&quot; src=&quot;http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=55cd929f-c3cd-4767-be74-e3504c57b223&quot; alt=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;zem-script pretty-attribution&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js&quot; defer=&quot;defer&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/feeds/2777849953018539444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4561979996637240006/2777849953018539444' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/2777849953018539444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/2777849953018539444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-wanted-to-know-about-hell.html' title='You Wanted to know about Hell???'/><author><name>Madly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03117832028086133077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561979996637240006.post-6788825084527752804</id><published>2009-05-29T21:21:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T21:35:38.655-04:00</updated><title type='text'>In My Mailbox - Heh</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class=&quot;zemanta-img&quot; style=&quot;margin: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 310px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fleishersuperman.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Fleishersuperman.jpg/300px-Fleishersuperman.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The title sequence of the {{w|Fleischer Studio...&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ; display: block;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;232&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;zemanta-img-attribution&quot;&gt;Image via &lt;a href=&quot;http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fleishersuperman.jpg&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Pinocchio, &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White&quot; title=&quot;Snow White&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;Snow White&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman&quot; title=&quot;Superman&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot;&gt;Superman&lt;/a&gt; are out for a stroll in town one day.

He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days.  The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case was brought before a judge.  After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, &quot;Case dismissed!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, &quot;Your honor,how can you possibly dismiss this case?  The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others.  The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and  Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, &quot;But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.&quot; The lawyer said, &quot;Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;The judge said, &quot;The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, &#39;The fool says in his heart, there is no God.&#39; Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool.  Therefore, April 1st is his day.  Court is adjourned.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/feeds/4973922043199186476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4561979996637240006/4973922043199186476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/4973922043199186476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/4973922043199186476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/2009/01/in-florida-atheist-created-case-against.html' title=''/><author><name>Madly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03117832028086133077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561979996637240006.post-2421250511479944841</id><published>2009-01-25T15:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-25T15:42:08.258-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="room sharing"/><title type='text'>On the Train</title><content type='html'>A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,...  &#39;Ma&#39;am, I&#39;m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket?

Once it&#39;s your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get in to find the door won&#39;t latch. It doesn&#39;t matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern &#39;seat covers&#39; (invented by someone&#39;s Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn&#39;t - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR! ), yank down your pants, and assume &#39; The Stance.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You&#39;d love to sit down, but you certainly hadn&#39;t taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold &#39;The Stance.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother&#39;s voice saying, &#39;Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!&#39; Your thighs shake more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the one that&#39;s still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It&#39;s still smaller than your thumbnail&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn&#39;t work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. &#39;Occupied!&#39; you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT . It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it&#39;s too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid do wn toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you&#39;re certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, &#39;You just don&#39;t KNOW what kind of diseases you could get.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it f lushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, you give up. You&#39;re soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You&#39;re exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can&#39;t figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman&#39;s hand and tell her warmly, &#39;Here, you just might need this.&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men&#39;s restroom. Annoyed, he asks, &#39;What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with public restrooms (rest??? you&#39;ve GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It&#39;s so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/feeds/1669992644196467073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4561979996637240006/1669992644196467073' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/1669992644196467073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4561979996637240006/posts/default/1669992644196467073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inmymailbox.blogspot.com/2009/01/stance-adventures-in-public-bathrooms.html' title='The Stance: Adventures in Public Bathrooms'/><author><name>Madly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03117832028086133077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
