...the "joys of home ownership" as described below.

The plumber made his yearly trip recently. It's always the same guy - Paul, Special Master of the Compressed Air Rifle. The gun made a sound between a cross between a hiss and a grunt, the sound of Rosanne taking a cannonball to the stomach. It blew about 9000 cubic yards of compressed air down the pipes. Every house on the block rose about an inch; raccoons came shooting through of the sewer grates, neatly sliced.

I about blew a gasket restraining my laughter at the above. Wife and Child are both asleep. Both need their rest and neither is shy about expressing displeasure when deprived.

You should write Headlines for tabloids newspapers, Baloo.

Starting a thread with such a leading title. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go on, apologise.

Josh: I think they're getting to know each other a bit too well, if you catch my drift.
Me: Oh, I agree. I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift.
Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

My recommendation...kick a brick wall toes first...a most invigorating experience.

Remember, however, that unless it's your wall, you might want to wear some boots. No sense dislodging bricks unless you plan to keep 'em.
