Wilfrid Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Watching Meet the Press this morning, I composed a (non-political) clerihew. Justice Stephen Brier Decided to retire. He did not approach the decision cynically. He just felt he was getting a bit too wrinkly. (I considered a limerick beginning “There was a young lady called Ronna” but abandoned it.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I went to a new gynecologist today, and her name is Meena, and the whole time I wanted to call her Spicy Mina, but you don't want to chance pissing off someone with a speculum in her hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Sadly, the Trenton Thunder's Pork Roll apparel collection has been trimmed down considerably: Pork Roll – Trenton Thunder Official Store (shopbaseballcollective.com). I consider myself lucky to have scored an original shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Japanese friend once told me that he was very worried while he was in Mexico for his honeymoon until he saw a yakult lady in Mexico City and felt like everything will be okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I was wandering around Chinatown, popped into a newly opened grocery store on Mott and saw some yakult drinks right inside the entrance. Obviously this is an omen, but what does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's only partially stuff to take home and cook (seafood department, vegetables, butchery) ; the rest is like a food hall... Like 89 (I actually thought it was 98) Mott Street.
