It means I just recalled something funny. Or I have my earpiece in and whoever I am on the phone with, just told me a joke.

Been there done that, so what?

Ditto, again so what it is only a 2 year difference.

In the Navy they teach us not to piss on our hands

Didn’t we all? Again so what?

When I was 18 I was sleeping with a 26 year old, does that count?

It is because of this logic, that it should therefore be legal for all minors of age 13-17 (after they reach puberty) to have sex with professionals (e.i. government licenced male and female prostitutes) because they can engage in safe and unemotional sex with the minors.

I would think that A) this makes no sense whatsoever, and B) in the US today this idiot has a death wish concerning his career.

Totally different than a 15 year old with a 25 year old, IMHO.
