I've solved Global Warming and Hurricanes!

[bpitt]

I've figured it out. I had to drive to Madison yesterday to do a job. On the way home I was pondering metaphysics and it's relation on the whole time/space continuim. Then it hit me. The Fed's have all this ice that they purchased after Katrina and such, that is melting away in some wharehouse, we're told. Why don't they just haul it out to sea and dump it. Then it would cool the ocean, cuz we all know that the hotter the water, the worse the hurricanes!!!

Wilebill posted a thread about it earlier this week I believe. Fishin' is good, I could do that!:smt023

Dangit, how come people beat me to my own ideas..........hey, I think I'll invent something called the internet!!

I don't care. I'm gonna nominate you for a Nobel Prize in Metaphysics. What bothers me though is that you talk of metaphysics, time/space continuums, things waaaaaaay over my head, then misspell warehouse? Had to pull your nomination from Nobel Prize for spelling.:-D
Actually, I think you're statement "how come people beat me to my own ideas" will be your legacy. Great line.:smt023

I guess you are still a little slow after the "brick to the head".:smt102
Al Gore has already invented the internet.:-D

[bpitt]

You think I'm kidding, you wouldn't believe the inventions I've come up with, proposed them to my wife, and she tells me they already exist. I think somebody has hacked my brain!

Reckon that's why I get dizzy spells and see tweety birds every now and then?

[Fish-Bait]

I dunno. That's prolly from the time your sister slapped the crap out of ya'. heheheh

[bpitt]

Which time?

[Fish-Bait]

Yall still got that old switchboard?

[bpitt]

Yeah, dad's got it in the shed. I'm supposed to get it sometime, he want's it gone. I know a few guys who like to collect old switchboards. I figured I'd fix it up, display it in the house, and invite one over for supper. Then he'll see it, like it, and make me an offer......kinda sucker him into it.

That thing was cool.

[bpitt]

Yeah, I might keep it, as it came out of some old hotel here in Hattiesburg.

That thing is worth some cash dude.:smt023

You mean a switchboard like the telephone operators used, with the cords and keys? (I've actually worked those. With the headset with the round mouthpiece. Counting the coins in the payphone by tone. Accidentally hitting the return button instead of the collect button and making the customer re-deposit seven or eight dollars worth of change. I know those boards. ;) )

Maybe you can join in on a lawsuit a woman filed in Federal Court in Hattiesburg alleging that the government was stealing the words right out of head. She's asking for a million dollars for damages. :)

What's sad is a jury will give it to her. They figure the city is insured so why not? I've been on those jurys and couldn't believe what I was hearing.:smt102

LOL. I don't think so. I imagine a Judge will throw it out as frivilous. :) Besides, she was suing Bush, his administration, Clinton, his administration, Bush I, etc. I think she went all the way back to Nixon, but I can't remember. It was the funniest read I had in a long while. :smt118

:smt118 Dang, amandah, you stole my thoughts on this right out of my head.......... :smt103

Yeah, my dad used to work for South Central Bell, back in the day. He took it out of some old hotel that isn't evening standing anymore. I think it was on Hwy 49 somewhere. It's got the cords you plug into the little holes, little indicator lamps, and the little handset with the little round mouthpiece on it. It's pretty neat, me and Fishbait used to call all over the world on it, when we were kids ya know.

[bpitt]

Another cure for global warming is to stuff a sock in some peoples mouth, it seems they give off a lot of hot air.

Wow, and of all the places to steal thoughts-----it's from there!!:smt103

If everyone, including animals would stop flatulating...well, the world would be cooler and smell better.

Look, I told you before, I CAN'T HELP IT!! Good food just does that to me, okay? Now, I've cut back enough to get that 'funny odor' that was hanging around Hattiesburg down, but I ain't stopping completely.

HAHAHA!!

You mean the hitting the wrong button part, or the being an operator part?? :)
That was long ago and far away, when first husband was in the service. But like everything I've ever done, it was useful. Like Daddy making me learn to type -- there've been plenty of times I've been able to get temp jobs because I could say I was Bell-trained!

[Hermione]

My favorite operator story, told me many years ago in Biloxi. One of those stories you hope is true:

Customer at a pay phone is messing with the operator. He says, "so, what if I don't put the money in?"
Operator says, in best professional operator-type voice: "Well, sir, I have three buttons here. One to collect the money, one to return the money, and one to blow up the booth."
Customer: sound of coins falling into the slot.
