**Casey** , I’ll have you know that as far as “Do Wha Ditty” being a marching cadence such as in “Stripes,” I actually tried that in basic training and was pointedly told by my drill sergeant to “Cut out that noise.” ---

And Ladies, If some asshole tells you how fine you are and that you’d make a good wife. And then dumps you because he’s in love with the sea, be thankful you dodged _that_ bullet. He’s got issues deeper than his precious sea. ---

What all of you fail to realize is that you gotta shop around. There’s some things that I want you to know now. Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now. The women come and the women gonna go now. Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now. My mama told me (and I consider it to be good advice) you better shop around. ---

> [@Hugh Jass](#): > > My mama told me (and I consider it to be good advice) you better shop around. Yeah? Well, I remember mama said that you can’t hurry love. No, you just have to wait. She said love don’t come easy and so forth. ---

Don’t bother trying to find her; she’s not there. I could tell you about the way she looked, the way she acted, the colour of her hair. Her voice was soft and good, her eyes were clear and bright. But she’s not there. ---

When this thread started I was all right for a while. I could smile and smile, But when I saw her last night I held her hand so tight as she stopped to say ‘Hello’- she wanted to wish me well, she couldn’t tell… _WEEPING UNCONTROLLABLY_ Sorry, back later… ---

I can’t believe all the people on this thread telling everyone else how to conduct their lives. I say “live and let live.” Didn’t **you** used to say “live and let live”? You know you did, you know you did, you know you did. In fact, the only circumstances under which you should _not_ say “live and let live” is if this ever-changing world in which we’re livin’ makes you give in and cry. ---

Hold on now. Last time I saw a girl walkin’ down the street singin’ Doo Wa Ditty Ditty Dum Ditty Doo, I didn’t HAVE to approach her. I was just walking along, minding my own business, and before I knew it, she was walkin’ next to me. So, what would be the dire consequences if she hadn’t taken matters into her own hands? ---

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play. Now I need a place to hide away. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Why she had to go, I don’t know, she wouldn’t say. I said something wrong now I long for yesterday. ---

Priceless, **Biffy**! I just showed this thread to my good friend. He says he knows this woman. He says, “She’ll turn men into boys, she’ll turn boys into men and she’ll have you feeling guilty before you can count to ten!” He says it gets worse: “She’ll make love to you and tell you you’re in luck, if you make love to her she says you don’t know how to do it…” Gotta go with the OP on this one and recommend avoidance…especially if your name is Fritz. ---

I’m not sure… it’s not like I can see me loving nobody but her for all my life. The skies wouldn’t be blue without her, for all my life. How could I give that up? Skies not blue? How weird would that be? I better get a dime to invest.
