      I call the dog "Punkin"...(he could fit inside one )...sometimes my cats, too.
      I can see that, I'm guilty of calling my boys "Punkin" when they were little. I was thinking more of punkin seeds, punkin pie, punkin bread... that's when I want to .


      Just reminded myself of my favorite movie - You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

          This actually happened to me mother, not me. But she works at Subway and one day two old ladies came in:

          One lady: Can I have some of those jolly penises on the sandwhich?

          My mom: What?

          Lady: Jolly-Penises

          Other lady: I think you mean hal-uh-pain-yos dear.

            Good Old Bubba Gump!

            That scene was where they met on the bus heading to Army Basic, and continued on through training up until they were cleaning the squad bay decks with toothbrushes in their skivvies.

                      Haven't heard too many good ones recently, but a couple of years back, I got the following: "Crusin' Erotica ate my money". Cue me turning away briefly so as not to laugh in the customer's face. He was completely seirous too, as far as I can tell. I did have it called that a few other times, but it was clear that those people were messing around, so that doesn't really count.

                          Then he went on to say that it was a good thing not to eat regular hot dogs, as it had been shown that the ingredients in them could make men incompetent.

                          I waited a moment, then realized what I'd heard, and carefully asked, "Do you mean 'impotent'?"
                          Actually, for some men, "incompetent" and "impotent" as the same things...

                            I think one of my biggest pet peeves is hearing little anime freaks calling manga "maynguh"
                            It's MON-Guh! Oi!
                            No, I do not work here, yes I am open, No, it is not free, every item we had "in the back" has been eaten by drunken sailors. Now that we've covered the basics, how may I help you?
