10 Peculiar PensivePete Ponderings
Submitted by PensivePete on November 13, 2009 - 4:19pm
1) If a woman borrows money to get a breast enlargement and later defaults on the loan, can the bank repossess?
2) Are children who act in rated ‘R’ movies allowed to see them?
3) Why is a boxing ring square?
4) When a dog food label says it has improved taste, who is testing it?
5) Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but its OK to use a handicapped toilet?
6) Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed?
7) Why is sandwich meat round when bread is square?
8) If the “black box” flight recorder survives plane crashes, why isn’t the whole airplane made out of the same material?
9) Which arm rest is yours at the movie theater?
10) Why do we use the saying “Eat like a bird,” when birds eat half their body weight in food every day?

......alright I have one.........as the FLOMAX commercial just played?........side effects listed were "reduced semen and runny nose".............erhh?..........what's goin on there?..............yeah , uh......sign me up for that.................not !!!........
I get kidney stones from time to time. The last one I had was an exceptionally large one and the urologist put me on Flomax to "open up everything down there" as he put it. I didn't get a runny nose though.
.......I've only had one kidney stone in my life.....and it came about ten minutes before a phone call to my house from the FBI..........lol..........so I must have sounded like I was guilty and / or stonewalling..........I could barely breathe , let alone speak.......I was doubled over in agony..........that was 96 or early 97........I think I got it from too many Tums.......I was eatin em by the bottle in those days........
You're startin' to sound like Andy Rooney there, Pete!
#6 One is a calculator, one is a phone I guess. Different uses, why do they need to be same?

A guy banker probably wishes #1 was true.
I have actually held new breast implants before they were implanted and I don't believe anybody would want to repossess used ones.
careful dwood, this is kind of reminding me of stories from the movie Portnoys Complaint, I'm probably not connecting with this comparison though. But it was pretty funny(in a perverse way) unless you were a guilt ridden jewish kid in the 60's
finally somebody who has read Portnoy's .........I've referred to it before and people look at me like I'm demented...........I didn't WRITE the book..............the part about "Captain Jack" and the meat is what freaked my friends out..............two chicken breasts?.............not frozen of course...........or was it pork chops.........nah.....Jewish people wouldn't have been eating pork chops then would they?...........it's been a looooooooooooong time since I read parts of that book..............maybe I read the "Cliff Notes".............ROFLMDAO................
EDIT : ...........sorry I "sped red" there.......I thought you read the book.......I didn't know they made a movie out of it..........
The book was written in 1969, and movie with Richard Benjamin and Karen Black in 1972, I never read the book but I did see the movie so I'm not sure how close the movie adapts up. I haven't seen the movie since the mid 70's but Portnoy poped into my mind as I read the blog. Guess I'll read the cliff notes/movie reviews to see what triggered the thought
Marshall?....I'm pretty sure I can answer that question for you .....even though it was YOUR thought........most likely the statement about "holding two breasts in one's hand (that weren't female breasts ....yet)........of course in the book?............the boy washed the meat and returned it when he was "finished".................
I've never heard of that movie before and Netflix doesn't have it. And since I wasn't a guilt ridden Jewish kid in the 60's your point is lost sorry :)
It did take just a bit longer to word my statement about the implants to make it sound like I wasn't a twisted individual and even then I'm pretty sure it didn't work.
Yep, my observation and assessment there of were spot on, Thanks dwood

..........if Marshall Shrout doesn't elaborate on Portnoy's ?..........I will at a later date..........I'm wearing down tonight................
........theres no benefit for the lender , other than revenge................plastic bags with solution in them?..........they can't be re -sold............they lose their aesthetic value once they're free of the female anatomy............the money in breast transplants is in the labor...............so to answer the question in a hundred words or less?...................NO.............they can't even repo a car if someone is sitting in it.....or it';s kidnapping.........so taking a person's body parts would be considered a host of things...........from battery to whatever......
.....I really can't believe I just discussed this..............
Hmmmm. Got to be careful as 2 what one says, but their could be a bigger pic in this than just used ones. ROFL

The beagle in my profile pic is good at doing #10.
On #9 I wonder that same thing on same airplane trips. Usually I find out none are mine. People can be so kind sometimes. :)

Why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
There is an answer to #4. They actually do have people testing the tatse of dog food at the plant.
Hmmmm, I hope it pays well. wulf! ROFL
.....ummmmmmm...........an "Alpo casserole"...........old horse meat...........I wonder how much THAT job pays..........lol.............
in the vein of #4?........well I know THIS..........my friend bought "bargain brand" cat food and his two cats walked away from it..........ROFLMDAO............they wouldn't touch it even days later after starving......so his wife and 16 year old daughter abused him , and he ended up going back to the store , and buying the RIGHT brand............. ha ha ha......a dog will eat most anything IF he gets hungry ENOUGH.............after spending an hour agonizing one day because I couldn't afford the "platinum brand" dog food , that is more expensive than hamburger?........I read the labels and compared protein analysis.....blah...blah....blah......I'm worried about life span , dry coat , taste......I just can't bring myself to buy "Old Roy".............I look out one day and I see my friend eating a frozen turd.............(he usually doesn't DO that)..........I had ONE dog before , out of four dogs , that used to eat turds after I put her on a diet...........then I had an epiphany.............if the SOB can eat turds and not mind the taste?..........by George he can eat whatever kind of dogfood I buy..............ROFLMDAO.............I've often thought if somebody was REALLY clever?..........they would make "butt flavored " dog food..........I'm betting it would be a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG hit with the critters...............they seem to LOVE sniffing that area..............even of dogs they don't know............I'm sure glad THEY got that software.......and not humans....................can you imagine Walmart?......or wedding receptions?....................we'd NEVER get out of there...........
