I don't know if this is true or not, but it gave me a chuckle...
Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a byproduct is methane gas.   Since the stuff was stored below decks in bundles, you can see what could (and did) happen.Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. You probably did not know the true history of this word (neither did I). I had always thought it was a golf term.

QUOTE(Skoegahom @ Jan 7 2006, 03:18 PM)  I had always thought it was a golf term. Wow, funny story! And I had always thought the term somehow came from driving between 35 and 40 in a 25 MPH speed zone when you are running late, seeing a police car unexpectedly, and the sound instinctively manifests, like a sneeze. -------------------- Oh glad day to celebrate

A customer I helped earlier in the year emailed me with this forward the other day.
Made me laugh. Enjoy! The boss was in a quandary. To meet his budget, he had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He finally decided that inthe morning, whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go. He could think of no other solution to his problem. Debra came in the next morning, hugely hung-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water to take an aspirin and the boss approached her and said, "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off." Debra replied, "Could you jack off? I feel like shit." -------------------- "We love the roads that take us far from this place, but those same roads have a way of bringing us back home in the end." --Linford Detweiler

This site cracks me up everytime a new pic/comment is added but for some reason, seeing this today cracked me up extra. Heh.
From the ever, ever, ever FABULOUS Go Fug Yourself QUOTE January 16, 2006
Fug Up Your Life Oh, Posh Spice. There are so many things I love about you! I love that you said you'd never read a book, even though you ostensibly wrote one. I love how you were arguably the worst singer in the Spice Girls, which was just packed full of girls who couldn't sing. I love your marriage to that adorable high-talker, David Beckham, and I wish the two of you would do a reality show, even though if you did, I don't know if I could bear to watch it due to the aforementioned high-talking. But do I love you enough to overlook the fact that you're going out with Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell wearing em-effing chaps?  I don't know. I think I kind of do. There are few people in the world who can get away with wearing actual chaps -- cowboys being primary among them -- but just look at you. You're fierce, even in full-on, ridiculous, leather chaps. CHAPS. I don't know who you're looking at, but I'm pretty sure the evening is going to end with you having washed down his brains with a nice glass of champers. So, chaps on, Posh. Chaps on. I'm too scared to say anything about them. Posted by Jessica at 08:43 AM -------------------- Unique Art HAWAII - - - - - Amity Mason Photography |

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A German cannibal who killed a man who wanted to be eaten told a court Monday that he had only been carrying out his victim's wishes and had not expressly sought to kill him. "I wanted to eat him, but I didn't want to kill him," Armin Meiwes, 44, told judges in three hours of testimony at his retrial.

Last night, I came home and my daughter Emily's clothes were strewn across the bathroom floor after her bath. I asked her to clean up, and she walked up to me, folded her arms and tilted her head and says, "Is that any way to say Hello to your daughter?"

BERLIN (Reuters) - A bungling German thief left a Hansel and Gretel-style trail of feathers which led police from the crime scene to his front door, authorities said Tuesday.
Police in the western city of Bochum said the man ripped open his quilted jacket as he broke into a shop to steal a karaoke set and did not notice it was leaking feathers all the way home. A witness saw the break-in and quickly told police. "Luckily they were able to act before the next story was played out -- "Gone with the Wind," said Bochum police spokesman Frank Plewka. "All they had to do was follow the feathers." The 36-year-old was astonished when police came knocking at his door shortly afterwards to arrest him. My first thought.... "A karaoke set???"
