“Do these pants make my a$$ look fat?”

Hi Linda are you going to Sharon’s shower?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Japanese waterproof cell phone here in the United States’ Pacific Northwest where it rains?

Nothing like a live visual chat from the shower….. peek-a-boo ! …. I see you !

Interesting about the phone use in Japan. My guess is that their long work hours necessitate that. Along with driving them insane.

And the French word for “fish” is almost spelled “poison.”

Americans want their phones to be waterproof in case they drop them in the toilet…

I couldn’t use a phone in the shower. I would not be able to understand the person at the other end over the noise of the water.

Soooo, if someone wants to give me a gift in Germany, I shouldn’t accept it?

Those Japanese don’t waste a moment, do they?

I just looked up the German translation for “poison.” It’s not “gift” but does contain the word “gift.” The German word for poison is “Vergiften.”

And the German word for sh*t is “mist.” Y’know, those guys just have a different word for EVERYthing!!!

Amazing, donkeys that “wear” pants! I suspect that there is some human intervention, somewhere in all this. Really; the bugs wouldn’t put pants on the donkeys.

okay, so these donkeys buy their own specially made pants and put them on themselves?

And tomorrow they’ll tell us that the French word for fish is ‘poisson’.

I know, close enough.

AARP magazine said that 10% of cell phone users (I presume they were talking American, and I do not know who made up their statistics) check their phones when they are having sex!

And they call jewelry “schmuck.”

In Greek the word for poison is “Pharmakie” from which we get Pharmacist, “a dispenser of poisons” (true)…

I assume kids in Germany don’t want gifts for Christmas…

A reminder to beware of not only Trojan gifts.

the phones are waterproof in japan because so many people use them in the toilet (oops!)…

and the word Moor means swamp in German
