Someone has to help me here. A friend of mine once said ā€œThere are two kinds of girls- ones that can be seduced to _Gin and Juice_ and the othersā€¦dammit, I forgot the other song.ā€ Iā€™ve spent the last three years trying to think of what they other type of girl is. ---

If youā€™re plopping down a rental fee several times each year than you may as well . . . Oh, I see what you mean. (Actually the idea never bothered me; urine is sterile and all that.) ---

ā€œMy theory is that when it comes to important subjects, there are only two ways a person can answer. Which way they chose, tells you who that person is. For instance, there are only two kinds of people in the world, Beatles people and Elvis people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis and Elvis people can like the Beatles, but nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice, tells you who you are.ā€\* -Pulp Fiction\* ---

Ok, so itā€™s not a joke. Either you understand it or you donā€™t. šŸ˜‰ As posted in previous threads; There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who, when it is pointed out that theyā€™re doing something wrong or harmful, will recognize their error, apologize and try not to do it again; and those who, when such things are pointed out to them, will attack the messenger as a means of diverting attention and denying guilt. Associate with the first, avoid the second. ---
