Why is it most wives get upset if they catch their husbands masturbating while watching pornography? Don't the wives realise their husband is displaying empathy. :-P

Why is it, when on the phone to my brother about other things, once that conversation was over, he tells me that he needs a wire brush and his local bunnings dont stock them. To be fair his local bunnings is the smallest in the bunnings universe so dont stock much.
My suggestion off the bat was a wire brush bbq tool thing, or steel wool from under the sink. Both of which can be purchased cheap from the local supermarket if he doesnt have them. Apparently that was a great idea.
But the real why is, why was i told the story of what needed rusticles removed and of not being able to find a wire brush. If i was after an epic tale, I'd start reading novels.

Manufacturers of toasters, can't seem to make ones with slots long enough for those large slices of bread???

Do toaster designers actually test them out in the real world?

What you need is a 'long slot' toaster.

Your solution, said from a toasting expert!........

I got a callout once to reset a kitchen circuit because one of the clients staff thought the way to make buttered toast was to put buttered bread in the toaster. Another funny one was a person trying to make a toasted chesse and tomato sandwich. Same thing, jam it in the toaster.
One question i used to ask apprentices to see if their brain was turned on is what do you put in a toaster? 9 times out of 10 they'd say toast. Wrong answer sunshine, its bread...

yeh i was just having a dig at GO FURTHER's stating tailgate
rather than just saying

"Every third Holden or Falcon I see on the road, always has a dent in the Rear"
as i tend to see , and also with a lot of what id say cheap secondhand small cars getting round
these days it seems if its a small car and at least say 6 to 7 years old you would expect to see at least one miss matched replaced panel some where on it these days just to accessorize the other dented panels

Maybe a lot of people are like me.I buy a car or ute to use,not to look at,if it gets a few dents and scratches along the way so be it.To me a vehicle is a working tool.If I want something to look at I will buy a painting or plant some flowers

Thats because those utes have actually been used for their intended purpose, not just like a poor mans coupe.

Wht is it that the "greatest channel on earth" is showing American football? I know a there are a small few who like it, but why are they showing hour upon hour during the day? I don't know of anyone personally who would watch this boring spectacle of a sport, and if you're a big fan of it you'd be watching it over the internet.

I know I've commented on this before, but today took the cake....

Why is it that people find it OK to mow the lawns in bare feet. Or in todays case, specifically, why is it OK that dad had shoes on but his 4 to 5 year old who was helping him push the mower (holding in to the middle bar) didn't?!?!

Most frustrating, the sons boots were sitting on the same piece of lawn they were mowing

And I won't even start about the lack of protective eyeware or hearing protection for either of them...
