That is onlt thing that really lboody well annoys me about my generation and the one after, noobody is bloody willing to bloody get some bloody work done. Only interested in the easy way out, the bunch of tossers. I realize, i have little rigth complaining like this only being 22 (an unemplyed), But it pisses me off that people my age are afraid of hard work. Hard work is good for you, damnit! It is like everyone is wearing bloody skil glove all the time afraid to break a nail. They should all grow a pair.

My contribution to the rant over now.

Great story, GR!

here is a fun little math problem i have to go through when i tell people my brother in law is 13

my wife of 7 years... who is now 27 years old was born when her mother was a mere 19 years of age.

this meant that her mother was still only between 33 and 34 at the birth of the now 13 year old brother in law.

so my mother in law is now about 45

my wife is now 27

my brother in law is 13

and my sister in law is 28

and i am 30

confused ?

EDIT: because this poor 13 year old is the product of growing up in a house full of women... it falls on me usually to be his outlet for boob and fart jokes... it also falls on me to answer questions that parents are usually not entrusted with.

the young man also finds it rather convenient that i pretend not to know that he knows where my playboy and hustler stash is ... stashed.

our understanding is as follows:

"So long as the pages dont get stuck together your secret is safe with me... the beer is in the fridge... dont drink the bitburger, and dont sneak anything out of my house that you didnt sneak into it."

Mighty brave of you GR and honorable that you extend to those lengths to be a, almost, father-figure to your son-in-law.

When I date, siblings (mine included) get on my nerves occasionally. Guess I haven't met the right one yet that it's worth putting up with them

Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They are so ridiculous and so immature
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, crazy, loafers!
While we're on the subject:
Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids!
But they still just do what they want to!
Why can't they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
