You’re new here, I’m new here, what say we get the vibe of this place before asking why people post in the style they do? I don’t see anything wrong as long as they aren’t being too personal or tasteless.

Personally I find the wiseass answers to be the best. 😃

I didn’t see the Dead Sea Rolls thread but may I humbly suggest that could have been interpreted using the Rosetta Scone.

A tutor who tooted the flute  
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.  
Said the two to the tutor,  
“Is it harder to toot, or  
To tutor two tooters to toot?”

A canner, exceedingly canny  
One morning remarked to his granny,  
“A canner can can  
Anything that he can  
But a canner can’t can a can, can he?”

A fly and a flea in a flue  
Were imprisoned - so what could they do?  
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”  
“Let us fly!” said the flea.  
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

A girl who weighed many an oz.  
Used language I dare not pronoz.  
When her brother, unkind  
Pulled her chair from behind  
Just to see (so he said) if she’d boz.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Uhhh…that’s all I have to contribute. Have a nice day.

Damn smilie codes - I’m such a dumbass.

Well, then. Far be it for me to interfere in a bargain between you and the Perfect Master.

So: Top half, or bottom half…? 😛
