There is no claim on the statement being true on my part as the poster. It is why there is the qualifying question "amirite?" at the end. It is a question that solicits agreement or not which is the premise that I understood the website is built-on. There is no sexist motive but I accept that there will be sexist interpretations. That usually happens when we overthink or second-guess the intentions of a poster. I could have interchanged the genders and wrote it as "man with a past and woman without a future" but at this point, I am not very hopeful that it will change the allusions to my person. Just to reply to one comment, I am an engineer.
And that would be unfortunate because the moment that someone comes up with a booger-proof material, all the fun in picking our noses and rolling the booger into a ball is gone.
I crafted the post to target those who vote only after reading the post through. I am not mainly after how many votes this post will get. I am more interested in knowing if the voters actually read the post through before they vote. Ultimately, I am looking at a scenario where the votes approximates the number of comments. If that happens, I would have achieved my original intent.
Who's Jerry Sandusky?
I believe so yes. TV's then must have ran on firewood coz I'm sure they didn't have electricity at the time.
Thats always good to know.
It is entirely my fault. It should have read - "among the first ones to go". Mea Culpa. I did say Australia is ahead of "almost" everyone. :)
Yes I am here now but I am actually from the Philippines.
If you take a half-empty and a half-full glass of whisky together then what you really have is one full glass worth of a hangover... :)
LOL
Thank you. The post is a metaphor and should not be taken literally.
You're absolutely right. TY
Just fake the laugh then. I won't know the difference.
It's my fault anyway. I don't know anything abt fishing nor do I eat fish and I can't laugh at my own joke.
And I was starting to think it was just me. :)
