You people are pretty smart, right? Well, I'd like to try something here just to see how smart you really are. I'm going to state some facts that you ALREADY know (yeah, right) and I want to see if you can come up with some smart come-back lines (smart-aleck comments, if you will), for each one. Ok, let's go...
1. Rats can last longer without water than camels.
2. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself.
3. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.
4. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.
And, now, the last one...
5. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.
Ok, let's see what all you smart people can come up with. I know your answers will be intelligent ones, am I right? (Oh, my, this ought to be interesting.)

I love these really interesting tidbits of information.
AJ
Challenge to be funny and witty on cue... here goes my feeble attempt
# 3....so "i Matey" would indicate "Matey" in pirate talk is a title?
# 2...thus eliminating the need for gastric bypass surgery.
Boy I'll get back to you with #5 and as to # 4, I keep drinking my champagne before the rasin has a chance to pop back up, leaving it low and dry.
And last but not least...about those rats, they need to be left alone. Being with humans seems to cause them so much stress they always end up with cancer.
1. Rat packs are a lot lighter then camels are , duh lol.
2. That is so true, mucus (me ucus) is mine yourucus is yours.
3. Then why did you call it a dot in the first place.
4. It's called "Raisinfartist" a raisin emits gas when in a gaseous situation, resulting in the up and down motion of released gas.
5. This is a tough one.... why does it have to be an Australian Mate, thats a long swim, thats probaly why. Please give us the full info next time, thank you.
Too tough for me! The only fact I know is the ferret fact as my dad has a ferret farm!
Interesting, yes AJ, but information that we'll ever need? Use, maybe, because I'm going to try dropping a raisin in my next glass of champagne!
Thanks, ana! Good answers! I think your #2 was quite good thinking! And, believe it or not, you already gave a great answer for #4!
1. of course, a camel cigarette will eventually burn up.
2. the mucus is not from the sinus passage--that is why sinus pills never work well.
3. I don't have a clue--except when one says, "I don't give a tittle squat!" Perhaps the dot is so very insignificant.
4. I bounce off the walls with champagne! So I have it over the raisin!
5. I don't think that I wish to comment of this one!
Richard, you never cease to amuse me! I especially love your answers to #1 and #3! (I'm curious to know if some science teacher will be teaching the "raisinfartist" effect in class some day!)
Your dad has a ferret farm, how interesting! Maybe you could post something about that? I only know what they look like, but not much else. I'd love to learn a little something about ferrets and I'd rather learn from somebody who knows something about them instead of from a book. (So, you must have known that "rejected" female ferrets will die?)
He has a very big back yard, and lots and lots of sheds. He works the ferrets to rise Hare and Rabbits from their runs. He hunts for food.
One thing I have noticed, is that "Jills" are never rejected by males. It is proberbly animals kept on thier own that sadly die, unless they are neutered.
Angie...your #4 had me laughing so hard, I was rolling on the floor! We would be such a sight together! You bouncing off the walls and me rolling on the floor!
