Diane:
"He who walk through airport door sideways going to Bangkok. - Confucius"

Please explain what this means.

Cover your ears children. To translate:

"He who passes sideways through a portal will whack his penis on the doorjamb."

Why this was not immediately apparent to you is a different matter entirely.

Closely akin to "Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day" and "Man with hand in pocket not always jingle change."

OK, so if he walks through the door sideways, maybe he will whack his you-know-what. Therefore, shouldn't he walk through the door straight-ways, like everyone else?

He: "Yo, woman, you got peanut butter all over my dick!"

She: "Well, yo, man, you got your dick in my peanut butter."

At the moment, I think all Trailblazer fans suck. Until last Sunday, I thought all Kings fans suck but I got over it.

And yep - I lump them all together.

Thanks for the replies which have somewhat made this confusing Confucius signature less confusing, but if it needs this much explaining, is it a good signature?

Here's a good sig for you, RTA:

R(ealizing the Packers and)
T(heir terrific fans)
A(re the envy of RTA).

I live in a city which is occasionally overrun by a horde of grossly fat, pallid people with piggy little mustaches (and you should see the men that accompany them). They talk like learning-disabled Canadians and wear masses of rubbery cheese on their head ("as above, so below").
Believe me, Green Bay has nothing I want.

Methinks this boy has more important problems than which football team he worships.
RTA - Thought for a moment there you were talking about the greyhound track in Lake Geneva, WI. WHOA - the finest display of adipose tissue extant, bar none.

But did it really need THAT much explaining? Seems to me that everyone got the joke except you.

I've never had to explain it IRL either.
