    George,

    Classics, all!

    And, all were clean. :)

    I have that one somewghere in my archives.

    I've got it over here.

    I don't get it. Why handy on picnics? What did he call it, his
    "weiner"?

    Momma probably didn't realize that there was a "longer set of
    names" on the restrooms. Another one had a sign toward the restrooms,
    with "MEN to the LEFT...because WOMEN are always RIGHT". <G>

    Outie = boy
    Innie = girl

    Basically.

    It worked for our generation & thousands before us. . .

    Exactly.

    Now it's well-encapsulated by this little interaction:

    Bill: Is it a boy or a girl?
    Jill: How should I know? It's not old enough to tell me yet!

    Really.

    You'd wonder. . . It seems too plausible today for comfort. . .

    My late wife would've said "gag me a goat with a triple backhoe". <G>

    I think that disappeared when this thread started. <G>

    Nah, we just acknowleged there's a rotting corpse before us & the ID in the pocket says "Common Sense & Sensibility"

    Exactly.

    Ah, yes, Thunderbolt. Now I remember -- I likely still have the dialup number on my DOS puter in the dialer I use.

    I don't have dial-up anymore...just telnet and web only.

    I've got a small collection of bar signs for bathrooms, silly & punny. . .

    But all JPGs, so I canm't post em here. . .

    George,

    I don't recall if you were Synchro then or not. . .

    When I was dial-up, it was strictly GT Power. Then I changed to Virtual Advanced (VADV32) with Argus as the frontend for dial-up. But, when the
    FIDONet Tosser wouldn't do messages right, and the phone line got so
    expensive, I switched to Synchronet, and dropped dial-up.

    George,

    'Of course. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much to big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action. Ma'am...ma'am...good God, she's fainted!'

    Smile!! You're on Candid Camera!! <G>

    That was the lat of the funny hidden camera shows!

    I loved it!

    My fave was when Funt pouired the exact same cola into two glasses, & gave
    the taste challenge test.

    EVERY person could define the differences between the two samples & expressed
    a preference. Some for Cola A, some for Cola B.

    Shows to go ya how silly the Pepsi Taste Test was.

    Cosby did a Coke ad; he was in a tree with binculars, says, "I'm in here
    spying on the Pepsi Taste Challenge." then, "AHA! She chose Coke! That's one you won't see in their commercials. The truth is, Coke outsells Pepsi 3 to
    1."

    My only thought to all these Cola Wars ads was that I don't care who else drinks what; I drink the one I like best. A simple check in any store or gas station selling both toldme everuything I needed t know about sales rates.

    Coke always had noticeably more facings (how many cans or bottles you can see at the frot of their space.) than Pepsi (still does)

    Well, I'd best be adding in some funny content to stay on topic:

    Obpuns:

    On a theme:

    I was hit by some coca cola today...
    ...it didn't hurt because it was a soft drink.

    Q: What's a pirates favorite cola?
    A: RC!

    TIL that cola syrup is made by squeezing a kola nut.
    That was soda pressing.

    Hey Google! Translate “¿Como estas frijole Coca Cola?” into English.
    Google: Ok... But you’re not gonna like it...

    “Howya bean pop?”

    Did you hear about the ghost that was arrested for inhabiting a bottle of
    cola?
    He was done for possession of coke.

    A guy came into the bar to order a glass of Coca-Cola's first diet drink, saying to put it on his bill.
    He had a Tab.

    I heard coca-cola and bud light are working together on a new drink.
    It's quite the ambitious colabeeration

    A coca cola candy cane... it's a Cocane

    A bear walks into a bar and says „Give me a whiskey and... cola.“
    Bartender: „Why the big pause?“ Bear: „I‘m not sure... I was born with them.“

    Q: What does Diet Coke call Coca Cola after adoption?
    A: Soda Pop

    Q: What state is home to the smallest Coca Cola factory?
    A: Mini-Soda

    Spent all day rinsing several palates of damaged Coca-Cola cans at the food bank today. The stuff at the bottom was ... gross. At home mom asked what we did.
    We sorted sorta sordid sodas.

    Q: Is the President of Coca-cola a Coke Head ?
    a) Yes b) Of course, c) HELL yes! d) Decline to answer

    I think I called in wh9ile you were VAD & Argus. . .

    Many moons ago. . .

    The internet connection in my farm is really sketchy, so I moved the modem to the barn.
    Now I have stable wifi.

    I'm really looking forward to the new Hacking Twist in Call of Duty!

    My stepdaughter needed the WiFi password for her friend. I didn't hear back after I replied.

    Probably so.

    That it was.

    You had to moove the connectivity.

    George,

    Shows to go ya how silly the Pepsi Taste Test was.

    When they were doing the Pepsi Challenge at the local college 40 years ago, they HATED to see me coming. Even if they gave me crackers between samples,
    I would ALWAYS pick Coca-Cola...because I could tell by the sweetness that
    the one that had more of it, was Pepsi.

    Coke always had noticeably more facings (how many cans or bottles you
    can see at the frot of their space.) than Pepsi (still does)

    One of the paint schemes on the Amtrak locomotives got them the name
    "Pepsi Cans".

    I was hit by some coca cola today...
    ...it didn't hurt because it was a soft drink.

    If it had been draft beer, you could've dodged it.

    Q: What's a pirates favorite cola?
    A: RC!

    I haven't seen that or Nehi around in ages...I particularly liked their
    peach soda.

    TIL that cola syrup is made by squeezing a kola nut.
    That was soda pressing.

    And messy, too.

    Hey Google! Translate “¿Como estas frijole Coca Cola?” into English. Google: Ok... But you’re not gonna like it...

    Some help you are!!

    Did you hear about the ghost that was arrested for inhabiting a bottle
    of cola?
    He was done for possession of coke.

    That's scary.

    A guy came into the bar to order a glass of Coca-Cola's first diet
    drink, saying to put it on his bill.
    He had a Tab.

    I hear that stuff is nasty.

    I heard coca-cola and bud light are working together on a new drink.
    It's quite the ambitious colabeeration

    I'll say.

    A coca cola candy cane... it's a Cocane

    Coca-Cola originally had cocaine in it.

    A bear walks into a bar and says "Give me a whiskey and... cola." Bartender: "Why the big pause?" Bear: "I‘m not sure... I was born with them."

    It took me a minute to finger that one out.

    Q: What does Diet Coke call Coca Cola after adoption?
    A: Soda Pop

    Basically.

    Q: What state is home to the smallest Coca Cola factory?
    A: Mini-Soda

    And, you can get deals in Pensa-Cola.

    Spent all day rinsing several palates of damaged Coca-Cola cans at the food bank today. The stuff at the bottom was ... gross. At home mom
    asked what we did.
    We sorted sorta sordid sodas.

    Say that 5 times fast.

    Q: Is the President of Coca-cola a Coke Head ?
    a) Yes b) Of course, c) HELL yes! d) Decline to answer

    None of the above??

    I've dialed up internet using 300 (once!)

    George,

    Shows to go ya how silly the Pepsi Taste Test was.

    When they were doing the Pepsi Challenge at the local college 40 years ago, they HATED to see me coming. Even if they gave me crackers between samples,
    I would ALWAYS pick Coca-Cola...because I could tell by the sweetness that the one that had more of it, was Pepsi.

    I only saw the Taste Test once, at our annual Exhibition. It was set up to imply "get it right & win a prize"(i.e. pick Pepsi & spin the prize wheel for
    a $0.0003 doodad or a "Buy 20, get onehalf off" coupon.

    I took a sip of the first glass (Blech! Poopsi!), then ate the crackers (I asked for extra! *LOL* then drank the second glass (ahh, that cleared the
    taste up nicely, clearly Coke); looking sat the prize wheel, wit my eye on
    one of them, I pointed to the first glass & said "that one" (I never said it was best, just that it was the one with the slogans all over the booth); spun wheel, won bupkes. . .

    Now I just skip them if I see the booths,as I don't want to subject my poor taste buds to such yichk.

    I was hit by some coca cola today...
    ...it didn't hurt because it was a soft drink.

    If it had been draft beer, you could've dodged it.

    Not in Canada - no draft as far back as I recall.

    A guy came into the bar to order a glass of Coca-Cola's first diet drink, saying to put it on his bill.
    He had a Tab.

    I hear that stuff is nasty.

    I bet. I've tried the newer diet concoctions (only when no real Coke in cooler, obvi) & NASTY!!!

    Aspartame leaves a horrid after taste. . . & it's poison (a neurotoxin used illegally for brainwashing)

    A coca cola candy cane... it's a Cocane

    Coca-Cola originally had cocaine in it.

    Yup,ended before my time, in 1951.

    They have Cherry Coke, Lime Coke, Peach Coke. . .

    Hey, Coca Cola, if you MUST add stuff to your drink, how about putting the cocaine back into it!

    Spent all day rinsing several palates of damaged Coca-Cola cans at
    the
    food bank today. The stuff at the bottom was ... gross. At home mom asked what we did.
    We sorted sorta sordid sodas.

    Say that 5 times fast.

    That, that, that, that, that.

    Why?

    Q: Is the President of Coca-cola a Coke Head ?
    a) Yes b) Of course, c) HELL yes! d) Decline to answer

    None of the above??

    That would be rounded off to "D" ;)
