As the warden here I have to say that I'm upset by you both. So up set that I'm actually in fear of losing my balance. Now, if only I could find where I put it?
But correct me if I'm wrong.

Can horses get out on bail?

That would explain the rope.
Being untied I mean

I don't think he would get bail because he is a sex offender. First he was Dobbin the Horse. Then he was Muffin the Mule.

I hope you find your balance, yor_on. I once couldn't find my wife's G Spot. Eventually it turned up down the back of the settee with a load of loose change. I bet that's where your balance has got to.

(I bet no-one outside of the UK recognises the references to Dobbin and Muffin, who were childrens' characters from about the 1950s).

Settee?
A small sofa right?

I seem to remember some writer discussing that? A sofa stuck in the stairs sort of, not possible to move away? And not possible to have been carried to there either.

Yes, I see what you mean, that settee is quite famous, all over the world :)
And, it's yours then? Wonder what more one could find there?

Ah yes, Douglas Adams?

Yes, by 'settee' I mean 'sofa'.

I'd like to say that the G Spots of many women have been found using my settee but, alas, it is not true!

That statement is almost certainly grammatically incorrect too.

Compare these two sentences "The  B-list celebrity was found using cocaine" and "The G spot was found using the sofa".
It's an odd image you portray there.
Did you mean "The G spot of many women ... while they were using...". (And I'm not sure if that should be spots)

There are three possible interpretations of the phrase in bold ...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1079895/The-amazing-pictures-giant-spider-eating-bird.html


1. Big spider eats a bird.
2. Big bird eats spiders.
3. Bird eats giant spiders.

Yes, yes, thank you B.C. and RD. I'll try to be more precise with my articulation of G Spots in future. (Now there's a sentence I didn't think I'd be writing when I got up this morning!)

And what do you think their collective noun should be? Perhaps an ecstasy of G Spots?

My wife has just suggested a 'neglect' of G Spots. What you trying to say, Love?

A mother gave birth to twin boys, but they were born in different years and on different days. And no, the boys are not part of 2 sets. How can this be possible? [;)]

Boo. Hiss. Fix.

Yor_on must've given omid a backhander to get his answer accepted. I'm sure the bondage seahorse one was correct.

A mother gave birth to twin boys, but they were born in different years and on different days.

clue 1: Different days ?
clue 2: Different years ?


it says different days and after that years ??
it should be end of the year.Moreover, end of the day with a 60 seconds difference.
therefore, let us consider first on was born on 31th of December 2009 at 11:59PM.
here is the end of the Day, also end of the year.the other twin will be born on 12:00Am of Jan 2010.
which makes difference of 60 seconds! so, the condition satisfied Omid.this is only possible in your question. I bet this never happened in "REAL".

A babysitter came over one day to babysit 10 children. She decided to give them a snack. In a jar there were 10 cookies. She wants to give each one a cookie, but still keep one in the jar. How will she do it? (WITHOUT BREAKING ANY COOKIES-EACH CHILD HAS TO GET A WHOLE!) [;)]
