Nope - Wash hands / dishes/ with rings on.
I used to think that crack whores were really good whores. You know, really good at what they did, kinda like a crack shot. I think I learned otherwise when I was, I don’t know, 25 or 26.
There are definitely a bunch of jobs where wearing a ring can be dangerous - when I was a kid there was a poster in the warehouse attached to my dad’s company headquarters with a graphic picture of a “degloving” injury. It’s what it sounds like.
I knew who Chris Rock was, but thought “Kid” Rock was another name for the same guy. I’m not exactly sure who Kid Rock is, but I know now he’s a different person than Chris Rock.
I didn’t know until last year that College Football doesn’t have a 2 minute warning. I’m not a *huge *football fan, but in 48 years I’ve watched my share of both college and NFL games. I don’t know how I missed that.
This sounds like the intro to a REALLY awkward story. Just saying.
Another person who just learned to tie their shoes correct (age 26).
This post had me doubled over laughing. “Oh, baby, you were the best I’ve ever had! You’re such a crack whore.”
If I may post something of a more serious or darker nature. Last year I read Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World. Part of the book deals with banana republics and how the the US government toppled South American governments at the whim of the banana companies. I was shocked because I honestly don’t remember being taught about this in any of my history classes. I had heard the term banana republic but never really knew anything about it until I read this book.
I get an intolerable rash if I wear mine always. Especially if its around water. It isn’t the ring, its that my skin under the ring starts itching and flaking off.
I’m from South Dakota, and I never heard about it there.
Just a couple of years ago, my little kids and I were playing with a new toy pirate ship. There’s a pull-out plank, so the pirates can make their victims walk the plank.
And it suddenly occurred to me that when pirates did that, they left the people there to drown! Not like being dunked in the lake or swimming pool, just playing around, but actual murder! I was stunned at my own ignorance at never having even thought about that before. :smack:
It is the ring, you’re allergic to nickel. Your ring is white gold, right?
I’m 42. Up until a few years ago, I thought the band with Paul McCartney and John Lennon was spelled The Beetles, and was named after the insect.
This one is a stunner. Pirates weren’t exactly known for “playing around.”
Did you never hang out with drunken farm kids with weird bachelor uncles?
I thought that the phrase “built like a brick shithouse” was a huge insult.
I thought that Garry Wills and George Will were the same person for a time.
Hey, I’ve known several people who did consider themselves huge football fans who didn’t realize this. I also got in to an argument at a bar with a guy who refused to believe that in the NFL the game clock does not stop when you make a first down, like it does in college.
ETA:Oh, and as for sheep-fucking, I always assumed it was an apcryphal (sp?) insult. Until just a few weeks ago when my boss admitted that he had actually fucked a sheep. :eek:
We have them like that (i.e., NY subway map on Subway sandwich shop wall) here in California.
Until recently I though that you could get rabies only from dog bites - rabies is generally called hondsdolheid (dog’s madness) here.
That’s what it’s called in Korean too! (Dog’s madness, not hondsdolheid.) A lot of Koreans are surprised when I mention that my cats need rabies shots too.
Only soup?
Here’s some more recipes for human placenta. Quite popular among some vegetarians I believe whose objection to meat stems from killing animals for food.
