I have a kind of passion about languages in general, and indeed, the use of words in particular....  I mean to say, in Spanish, "esposa" means wife, but the plural form (could mean wives if one has several - which I guess in some circles is possible) - but - "esposas" also translates as "handcuffs"... aye, let's say no more on that folks! LOL (Bill awaits the inevitable ear-bashing from the ladies on the forum !!!)

Anyway - the one I enjoyed today was this - A newspaper editor was looking for a headline regarding a 4-foot 11-inch clairvoyant who had escaped from jail - they came up with this - 

Short medium at large

Well, it may be old, but it was a new one to me, and I just found it funny....

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

roflolThat was a good joke.

Oh, Billy G, you are so in the “casa de perro”. 

In case anyone looks up “casa de perro” there were different variations when I was looking for this, so you might find a different variation, but Billy G is still in it! yaaaa_gif

Let me know when you are hungry and I will give you a bone. LOL Here is one to keep you busy 🦴

That was funny BillyG!

I love those word things too. I don't know much Spanish . I do understand taco and burrito.No great surprise. 4'11" is short. Reminds me of the time I got my height wrong on an insurance document. Maybe I'm slightly dyslexic. I'm 5'10" and I wrote that I was 10'5" tall.......needless to say they called me.

That is really funny, Starise. However do you afford those beds and shoes? Bump your head often?

I bet you could use a cello for a violin!

cid that was a three letter word. They typically want a M or an F in the blank. Maybe now there's also an undecided blank. Haven't filled out an application in years and hope I don't need to.laugh

roflol I seem to always fill in the blanks wrong! Maybe that is why I have issue with forms and always forget the easiest things I should know.

I also could not figure out:

1. Why what I thought it was was on the application. Then I thought, maybe it is for a sanitation job someplace with a sense of humor!

2. Then I could not figure out why it looked like a three letter word and could not figure what three letter word needed the expletives. So, that put me back to #1.

My mind works in mysterious ways.

No worries LOL. All age groups here. What I would like to know is where do you get all of those cool emoji from? I had no idea there were so many of them. I had not seen the TP one. I guess it comes in handy occasionally. I think Fiddlerman has the largest collection of emoji anywhere. Look here's a bunny dancing- dancinbunny

Where else can you find that? The bagpiper is pretty cool too bagpipes-1254

Oh and let's not forget Halloween- vampire7vampire8vampire13vampire18bug-1_gif

@starise They are the smileys on the apple device keyboard. The little smiley face on the lower left side on the bottom row that has the space bar. They have added some over the years, from what I noticed, unless I just didn’t notice before. I didn’t use them much before I came to this forum. You people are a bad influence on me! 😁
