ORIGINAL: Reasonable So many weighty threads,I feel we really need to lighten things up a bit. I'll invite the populace to share some of the funnier things they have encountered with people who seemed to have the greatest of difficulty in seperating reality from fantasy.........(with the provisivion that I have been as guilty of it in the past as anyone,no you really CAN'T keep someone caged all the time. ) And please,no names or particular insult to the parties involved-I'd hate to see it go down in flames. No way I can beat erin's story and I heard that one from her personally while she was sitting at our kitchen table...I had a similar reaction but if there's no computer screen in the way, trust me, the coffee projects further..lol. BUT..we were at a munch in Indy once and although I rarely judge what someone does, this one had to be a little odd. This old timer with obviously a few miles behind him was sitting there and started talking to us on how he liked to entertain himself. Apparently he had discovered an item sold at the farm supply stores that is used to castrate hogs. From what he described it was some sort of device that you slide over the hog's nuts and then you trigger it..it snaps an "O" ring tighly around the nuts cutting of the circulation and I guess they just simply drop off in a few days. OK, "so what" I wondered. Well of course he continued on to tell us of how he bought one of these and liked to use it on himself, guess it felt, er, uh, different. Like I said, I don't generally judge, but somehow something being used, that if you happened to fall asleep might make you waking up with missing parts....was a little more than I needed to know...lol. Don't know if he was for real or not, but I seem to get the jitters anytime I get around farm supplies anymore.
