Helen Waite

[WPandP]

So what you're telling me is, it's them boys in Washington DC playing around with nukes that caused us all to go through a mysterious time warp? Hawk, did YOU go out and see that big remake of a famous sci-fi movie this weekend?

This brings to mind a point : Everything man has ever done has failed. The pyramids take the prize for the longest triumph of man made things- but alas, they too are slowly falling apart, and they are after all just piles of stone.

Mans hubris: We can make bombs that will wipe out mankind? GREAT! Lets build 30,000 of them- what could possibly go wrong? We figured out how to splice the DNA of a fish with a tomato so the pasty fruits will last longer on the shelf? GREAT! Lets plant billions of them and feed them to everyone- what could possibly go wrong?

Forgive me if I'm a bit dense, but who is Helen Waite, and why is this thread named for her?

[Stoker]

I believe the thread title is a wordplay "joke", i.e If you have a "Problem" go to Helen Waite....

[Hawk]

Well, I just spent the last two minutes typing my answer, only to find you beat me to it Stoker. (I'm a bit of a slow typer)

Oh well! You got it right.

[Stoker]

Kind of like the "Complaint Departments" plaque with a hand grenade on it, with a big "1" on the pin. If you have a complaint just pull the pin and wait, someone will be right with you.... I think they give out those plaques with salvage yard licenses as every junkyard in the nation seems to have one behind the counter.

[Wolverine@MSU]

Guess I must just be behind the times and out of the loop. Makes sense now.

On a side note, I was well into adulthood before I learned about the "pull my finger" ploy.

I just busted out laughing when I read that.

As most of you know, I'm from Calif. That never happened to me until I came to the south then I, too, was well into manhood... like in my 30's... And, I still don't think it's funny.

It's the people who don't think it's funny who make it funny, actually...

Hawk, any chance we can add a "finger-pull" icon to the selection of smilies?

[Knave]

I worked construction all my life. Pull my finger is mild stuff gentlemen. Mild.

[Stoker]

Ahhh- construction pranks- now your talking. "Hey Newguy, grab me some toenails." Newguy says "Where they at boss?"--- "They're in the box next to the boardstretcher" --"you know-- the big 3 cylinder one on the bottom".....

If you can find one, or make one, I'll add it.

[Hawk]

Go it added Kevin. Click on the 'View more smilies' link.

[WPandP]

Wow!

My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek. Thanks for the addition, Kevin and Hawk!

[thegrindre]

Am I correct in assuming that we now have a funny farting finger in the, View more smiley's, link? Sheesh!

You didn't see it?

Deep down inside, we'll all just a bunch of 13 year olds.
