Strange thoughts.
Ever lie in bed and debate with yourself whether you are too tired to get up and pee? It's fruitless to argue with your bladder because it always wins one way or another.
My dog is on the back porch licking his pooch package and I'm thinking that the first person to create dog dick flavored treats is going to make a fortune. Not sure how they would test them to see if they really tasted right...
Which brings me to bad tasting food. I was eating some skittles the other day and I noticed the red ones tasted like that nasty cough medicine my mom gave me when I was a kid. So I sent an Email to the skittles customer comment people and told them what I thought. They wrote back and told me I was wrong...
I was eating peanuts in the shell in the dark, I think something crawled into one of them and died. It tasted like a burnt plastic fork. I went ahead and kept chewing because I didn't want to look like an idiot.
My dog insists on sniffing everything I give him before he eats it. You would think after eight years he would trust that I'm not going to poison him. The other dog has no such compulsion and will grab it away as he's sniffing. It's frustrating to watch.
I was depositing a check at the bank the other day and it was for a large amount but not excessive, and the bank teller asked me if I was sure I wanted to deposit it... I told her yes... why not? She asked, how was I so sure that the people who wrote the check really had the money in their account... I don't know what she was suggesting or what she would have me do. So I told her just to deposit it. She said "well it's just a large amount for a personal check" Yeah whatever. I'm wondering if this was bank policy or she was just being an asshole.
One time, I went to get a small loan from my bank to get my car repaired. I filled out the application and when they called me in to review it, the loan officer said, sorry we cannot approve your loan because you don't have sufficient funds in your account to cover the loan.
Duh! Why would I need a loan if I had the money in my bank account? She said that was their policy. I'm thinking that bank people smoke crack on their coffee breaks.
I was at a garage sale the other day and I asked how much a set of beer steins cost. The lady said uhh 5 or 10 dollars...Ok brainiac, why in the heck would I give you ten dollars when you haggled yourself down to five in your opening statement? I'm thinking she's probably not an entrepreneur.

Good Saturday morning, Hammer ! Just left a comment on your 'living in the past' post... I always feel bad when I'm the last to comment, like maybe you won't know I've come by to visit or something !
Eye-rolling at the skittles people arguing with you that the red candy doesn't taste good... Geez, the least they could have done was take it up with their product manufacturer to see if MAYBE some ingredient had gone bad, wasn't tasting good, would make customers unhappy and lower sales eventually, etc...
Dogs do have fun with their, uh, packages, now don't they ? But somehow I don't think it is the FLAVOR they are going for, so not sure how much money someone would make by making 'doggie pouch' treats ! (snicker)
The teller was being an assh*** at the bank, no question..
As was the loan officer. Hello ? This is WHY it is called a LOAN...
Yeah, the garage sale lady is not going to give The Donald a run for his money... Did you end up buying the beer steins ?
I keep thinking that I should be running this planet, but the monkeys won't let me.
Not until they destroy it anyway.
Oh, well, I can at least go to the peace protest today. Might as well protest peace. LOL
annie: The skittles people could have at least blown some smoke up my kilt, and yeah I bought the steins, they ended up being worth about $90 each :D
It's too bad the lady with the beer steins wasn't also the loans officer. That would be the perfect match.
Many a mornin', Lovely Wife or myself would pleadingly ask the other to go to the bathroom for each other so we could stay in bed. Never works. Pesky bodily functions.
The one-in-a-hundred nasty peanut is the price we pay for snacking. I've wondered about that myself. Only, I see what I eat and I've never been able to see anything wrong with the ones that taste so bad. A mystery of life I guess.
Bank people are more and more gettin' in yo bidnez these days. Too much, too little, it's as if they're trying to fit you into a pre-determined place. Kinda scary really.
I keep telling my gnome hubby that I will pay him $1 mill if he will haul his arse out of bed and go pee for me. Of course, anyone that doesn't understand my laziness should come live in Canada in january and then we will talk...some mornings it is so cold here , your pee could freeze..lmaoooooo
Sounds like the bank teller was a racist sorta.
Like she assumed that based on skintone, whoever your associate would be, they would be poor or shady.
Make sense or am I just being hyper sensitive.
I have never in my entire life, ever heard of a bank teller asking are you sure you want to deposit this large check with us, are you sure your associate can cover it?
Just ask yourself, if ol' Whitey walked in there with a ten gallon hat on, you know, a good ol' boy... would she assume his associate could not cover the check?
I personally would complain.
But I am a pissant.
LMAO!
Damn, now those are some strange thoughts brother.
I gotta admit though I struggle with piss thing nightly, and yea the bladder always wins one way or another.
I ate a pistachio from a shell once and felt it moving in my mouth...I spit out a bug.
I knew a guy who wouldnt return his wallet to his back pocket without smelling it first.
A store told me my personal check for $1900 was not acceptable. There are too many people passing bad checks. They ruin it for us folks with good ones. Policy is usually policy. Big personal checks draw attention no matter what race you are... I went and turned the check into dead presidents. They took it.
I always wake up and have to pee but sometimes I just don't bother.
testicle treats...could work
cherry flavour - I don't much like cherry flavoured anything any more because of medicines ruining it.
I don't like those nasty peanuts either but I keep chewing them too
My dog sniffs and sniffs and sniffs before taking. I figure that's why he never learned to catch the treats we threw at him.
It's always best to set up a personal line of credit when you don't need it.
I would be that lady that haggles down. sad but true
Hammer, have you thought about doing business with different bank?
BBC: lol That would throw them for a loop :)
Ryan: I know, The interest rate could have been six or three percent :)
JAM: I think all couples try to bargain with that :)Not sure what happened but banks are like airport security nowadays ,
canadianflake Thanks for visiting :) Yes extremem cold makes
the bathroom decision that much more difficult.
Infinitesimal, It was weird, I'm a long haired white guy with a beard and she was hispanic, she proabably thought I was a dealer who takes checks hehe.
gunz: I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
JP: I knew it was a bug! Wallet sniffing? geez, I don't have a problem writing big checks now they have insta check and can take the money immediately.
Jeannie: I don't know how anyone could call that cherry flavor. I always said it tastes red lol I've got the credit line now thankfully.
Testicle treats lol... can't wait for the commercials
lexcen: I dropped the one that didn't do the loan and changed branches of the one that acted like I was a crook. Things seem ok now but I imagine every bank is bad in their own way.
Nuttin worse than that burn peanut taste,,,got to shave the tongue...
My kitty will never get up and go pee for me~BRAT!
Ha! I once had a box of stuff at my g~sale with a huge sign FREE on it.. you wouldn't believe how many people walked up with stuff from that box and asked "how much?'
I usually said 2 bucks.. I made a killing on my free stuff.. idiots you got to love them... you can't make shoes out of them.
Good thoughts. I'll have to think about those.
I go through the #1 jive every single morning! You'd think I'd have learnt not to question things by now.
Great post Hammer...My dog likes to lick the package too, but I have to agree with Annie I don't think it has anything to do with the flavor.
The lady at the bank was a "B".
The gals at my bank love me because I bitch about their dilbert zone bosses.
They all come to talk to me.
OK that is weird it sure sounded like discrimination. maybe she was just having a "moment". (the bank teller)
besides, i thought you were part latino (didn't you coin the term messkin?) and part Irish. Like, was it not a big deal for your father in law, the fact that you were "ethnic"??
Yeah I wonder how they will judge the taste of the dog nuts lol
Here's a thought for you... what if we had a holiday named Hulk Hogan day and everyone dressed up in red and yellow spandex and instead of pinching someone that didn't wear it like on St. Patrick's day, they just body slammed you?
Cheesy: lol I've never heard of the cat being given the pee chore ;) and yeah it seems garage sales seem to bring out all kinds of "special folks".
Janet: I wouldn't recommend it ;)
M: humans are stubborn, especially when comfortable ;)
mrsjosegoldbloom: I didn't think about the other reason :P
bbc: They are dilberts it seems.
infinitesimal: My last name is
messkin but from most outward appearances I seem caucasian
My father in law heard my name and freaked. I should have lied about it or pronounced it differently ;)
Firstly, hahahahaha - great post!! =)
Why on earth would it matter to THEM if the cheque bounced anyway??? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Yeah, you've really gotta be smart when you have a garage sale - you just reminded me how much I LOVE garage-sale-ing!!!
Unknown things inside other tasty things....ick!! That's just gross. Good on you for not wanting to look like an idiot though - that would've been WAY worse!! ;)
Hey.....isn't the customer always right???? What's with those Skittle people?? I always think lollies taste like old medicine these days!!
Your #1 there is especially difficult for females.
If you put it off too long you have to figure out how to get there quickly, but you have to take little bitty steps cause your your legs squeezed tightly together. Then once you make it to the destination you have to try and get your pants down, sit and pee all in one motion without peeing all over yourself in the process.
Then of course you repeat all of the above the next morning. :D
kb: thanks, I often wonder abot these people. I need to stop so I can sleep at night :)
Groovy: lol That's waiting too long!
