By the way, will SOMEBODY explain to me how to use the linky thing without showing the URL? Please?

Like this:

Here’s a ([url=www.xxyyzz.com](http://url=www.xxyyzz.com))link(/url) to something

- except you use “[” and “]” in place of “(” and “)”.

Last summer, a mother and daughter were waiting for a bus and I saw something that made me want to jump out of the truck and chew out Mom.

The daughter, who looked to be 14-16 years old wasn’t wearing skimpy shorts, nor did she wear pants with the ultra-low rise that show underwear from the back and make you wonder how it can be that you can’t see bush up front. Her t-shirt wasn’t sprayed-on tight, either.

But what upset me was the caption on the front consisting a big pair of red lips and the words “French Expert”. Was Mama pimpin’ Daughter out or was she really all that clueless as to what “French” has been slang for since the '60s? Omaha ain’t cosmopolitan, but even the hayshakers out West know that one!

Just to clarify:  
Copy link  
Highlight text to contain link  
Click paperclip/world icon  
Paste link  
Voila!
