I have to this very hour thought I made that up as a young child!!! I used to sing that to my family and they would laugh and clap… tonight I find out at age 28 that I am a fraud and a fake… I guess I am not creative at all… What else have I taken credit for that I did not create??
Anyone have any similar stories or thoughts?
p.s. I already emailed all of my family telling them about my plagerism.
Homer: Can’t they get a pole for that sign?
Bart: Dad, that’s a hitch hiker.
I have the opposite sort of thing. I was almost 30 years old before I figured out how to open a modern soda can by pushing on the far end of the tab, instead of trying to lever up the near end with a key.

huh?
Either I don’t understand what you wrote or I’ve been doing it wrong too. Opening a can of pop (soda is such a midwestern word!) always involves lifting the tab for me.
After I’ve had to answer a question “I don’t know.”, I will occasionally add, “Ask me what I do know.”
If the questioner knows his/her lines, he/she will respond, “What do you know?”
The answer, “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.”
It was either inspired by or directly lifted from David Letterman, but for the life of me, I cannot remember which, and neither can anyone else.

I’m talking about the little alumnium lever you use to push open the actual hole.
If you have stubby fingers and chew your nails (like me), it’s very tough to get your finger under the lever to lift it. However, if you push down a little on the other side, the side you need to pull up lifts a little, and you can get your finger under it.
For years I struggled with the damn thing… Until someone laughed at me and showed me the “secret”.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Hey singledad, you sound like you are either an electrician, a machine builder, or an engineer(the latter sounds more like it though). LOL
no offense singledad,but…
YOu ARE AN IDIOT!!!
Sorry about the flaming all but, i just had to sya that. I can’t beleive that a 30 year old guy was using keys to open a pop can! (soda for you americans). Heck, i was opening those for my dad when i was 2!!!
Wow! I’m being quoted! I’m honored.

Bite me, kaos. 
I miss pop-tops. When I was a kid I’d take the flat part off of the ring. Usually the rings had little nothches on them. I put the end of the tab into the notch in the ring and then I could flip the ring like a little Frisbee.
Also, when I was a kid, we’d make pop-top chains.
Anyone know when pop-tops replaced cans that you had to use a “church key” to open? I’ve never seen a beer/soft-drink can that didn’t have a pop-top or tab (or in Oregon a long time ago, two “buttons” that you pushed in).

Democritus and I have been like brothers for almost 20 years now. Sometime back when we were in high school, we were hanging out talking about different things that had happened to us. So he starts to tell me this story about how he was playing war games with BB guns with some of his friends, how he got shot in the cheek, and how the BB was still there after several years. He said that you could feel it, and that he could even put a magnet up to it and get it pull his cheek out a little. I let him go on and on with this for about 20 minutes, letting him build it up more and more, before I told him that IT WAS MY DAMN STORY!!! That happened to ME, not to him. I had told him that story a couple of years before, and now he was telling it back to me. I wish there had been other people around to see it. The look on his face when I busted him was priceless.
Hey Demo, got any other good stories?
All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren’t noticing which makes you see something that isn’t even visable.
ROFLMAO!

Ya know, DD told me that story so many damn times it was as if I had actually lived it. Plus, I was like 16 and didn’t have any good stories of my own… DD… You bastard!
My suspicion is that it was originally someone else’s story to begin with anyway.
Just make yourself comfy while I shoot nuclear particles into your heart.

you would think that that one would be pretty easy to remember… I mean shot in the face with a BB that is STILL there and that you can hang magnets off of… well… I just dont know how you could confuse that one! 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just because you got busted telling someone elses story, you got to take all the glory away from the person it really happened to. That’s ok, though, becausae I always tell your cool story about the time…well, about that time…ok, I know, I have it right here…it’s on the tip of my tongue…oh, I know, I don’t tell any of your stories BECUASE YOU DON’T HAVE ANY!!! Get a life and then come back and talk to me. Oh, and if you try to tell the story about the chicken, the watermelon and the industrial pneumatic drill, I’ll kill you. That was supposed to be our little secret.
