Another Taste of Tom's Tiny Tidbits of Trash

A few more words/ phrases I can do without; "24/7"- I just can't seem to divide 24 by 7. "But wait!!!... If you act right now....."- "Just how brain atrophied are you? "We'll double your offer....." (more to come on this)- Mays can always amaze... that insolent ****! Would somebody please tell me just how many 8 oz. glasses of water are in the Atlantic ocean?? Who left the faucet dripping? For years I thought LOL meant Land of Lakes cheese...I wondered just how many cheese freaks on the internet.....Just too key happy to cook? Finally- a true historical story (well, I Was a history major, you know!). Calvin Coolidge was a rather odd president...his nickname was "Silent Cal". He rarely used his vocal cords...maybe they were disengaged from his cerebrum... Well, anyway, at a formal White House dinner, seated next to him was some actress or some other form of high inellect... She turned to Calvin (No, he wasn't wearing jeans!), and comfidently said...."I've bet everyone here I can make you say three words. So he turned to her, and said, laconically (don't ya love these $10 words I've been parading for some reason lately!?), "You Lose!" Wish Bush would follow his example! Carry On Cleo!!!
