When you become a vegetarian your poop stops stinking..... but this is only temporary.

there is little more wonderful than the smell of a freshly opened jar of peanut butter.

Girls can use any old toilet paper, but guys need Ultra Charmin and plenty of it.

We have to wear ID badges at work.
I once put mine on a lanyard my daughter had made as a kid.
It was yellow and pink.
Hermione was horrified to find out that not only had I kept it, I wore it to work.

OK, guys...........everyone look in their attics and basements for lanyards, and send them to George. No point in having them moulder in darkened corners, when there is someone out there who will put them to good use.

You know George, you have given me a new reason to have faith in humanity. Perhaps my childhood was not wasted, after all! Laughing

Learning how to horrify you kids can hardly be considered useless.

I learned that McTag has gone for a flu jab and I'm damned if I can shift it so that the fertile empty space which was there before in my head can be more usefully employed later.

Why did they need scouts? There were no others but them on the moon.

Everything in my French degree, truly useless and mostly boring. I only enjoyed the Romance Philology.

Athletes in ancient olympic games were naked. This soon became a problem in track competitions involving relay teams. ("Hey, that's not the baton!")
