Subject: BS: What is the point of... From: Bunnahabhain Date: 15 Mar 05 - 09:35 PM Inspired by a question on another thead. Thanks LtS. What is the point of flavoured condoms? Anybody else got any of those things that just make you go "Why?" on their mind? |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: CarolC Date: 15 Mar 05 - 09:41 PM In case you ever need to use one as a balloon, so you won't have to taste the latex when you blow it up? |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST Date: 15 Mar 05 - 10:54 PM i suppose you could just chew on them. what a supprise that would be to the teacher who asks you to spit out your gum. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Bunnahabhain Date: 15 Mar 05 - 11:22 PM Also, those 'baby on board' signs in cars. What are they supposed to do? Are you going to choose to crash into another car, rather than that one because of a sign? Or do thye just wish to tell everybody about their sex life? |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST Date: 16 Mar 05 - 02:17 AM Well Bunn, ever heard of safe oral sex? |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Elfcall Date: 16 Mar 05 - 03:46 AM Just posted this to the another thread but is better suited here flavoured condoms have their place. I once worked in an organisation that was involved with a sex workers project - As a major proportion of their work was oral sex the usual condoms with spermicide were pretty unpleasant. I once spent a very bizarre afternoon condom tasting to get the best flavour, a bit like wine tasting - well not very much like wine tasting really - but you get the picture! Elfcall PS Mint was the best ! |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Crystal Date: 16 Mar 05 - 06:28 AM I always thought the beer flavoured ones sounded revolting! As someone who has blown flavoured comdoms up as baloons (really don't ask!) I have to say that the strawberry ones are best, although none are great. Back on topic... I wonder what the point of artificial sweeterner is. It dosn't taste like sugar and is actually worse for you! Why not just use honey? |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 16 Mar 05 - 07:10 AM At the time I wondered why my teetotaler friend & her temperance group drank alcohol-free wine. And I still do wonder. Alcohol free wine apparently includes a tiny % of alcohol. Why not just have fruit juice/cola/tea/coffee etc. and my dieting friends who ate sugarless jam, sweets, desserts etc. Why? Sugarless usually means high fat which is just as bad for someone who wants to change their eating habits. signed puzzled |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Mar 05 - 07:18 AM Meat flavoured/shaped vegetarian products..... Why? I was veggie for several years and could never understand why people who chose not to eat meat, then went out of their way to make meat flavoured and shaped products... beef flavoured soy product, chicken flavoured soy strips, drumstick shaped nut loaf.... Why? LTS (Bunn... glad to be of service!) |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: manitas_at_work Date: 16 Mar 05 - 08:20 AM Elfcall, I seem to remember a conversation with Matti about the most popular flavours sold at the Borough Arms in Chippenham but I can't remeber what they were. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 16 Mar 05 - 08:33 AM Man comes home from the pub and asks his missus if she fancies trying the new chocolate flavour condoms he has bought. She's very enthusiastic and soon he is lay on the bed with a satisfied look on his face. Looking up after a minute she complains "These are not chocolate! More like cheese and pickle." "I've not put it on yet" he replies... :D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Elfcall Date: 16 Mar 05 - 09:05 AM Hi Manitas - did not spend too much time in the Borough - was Rosie boy myself. Do not remember a machine in there! Mint was defo superior to others - lack of nonoxynol 9 making it less bitter / unpleasant. I am sure that we have had this conversation before! Elfcall |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Rapparee Date: 16 Mar 05 - 09:13 AM As one who is insulin resistant -- anything that is metabolized into glucose. That includes fructose, honey, "natural" syrups, sugars of all sorts and origins. I use Splenda, when I use anything "unnatural", because saccarhine leaves a bad aftertaste and everything else either gives me a headache or gas. But about those speed limit signs during rush hour.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Georgiansilver Date: 16 Mar 05 - 09:15 AM I didn't think they actually had a point...just a rounded end with a bobbly bit, designed with a purpose. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: CarolC Date: 16 Mar 05 - 12:17 PM But about those speed limit signs during rush hour.... Rapaire, I'd be interested to know if your reference to these signs during rush hour is suggesting that people go slower than the speed limit during rush hour, or faster. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Chris Green Date: 16 Mar 05 - 12:55 PM The signs that warn you about falling rocks on country roads. Personally I always shut the sunroof. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Wesley S Date: 16 Mar 05 - 01:35 PM I don't see the point of the "self-checkout lanes" at the grocery store. It seems to me that all they do is deprive someone of an entry level job and make more profits for some corporation. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: gnu Date: 16 Mar 05 - 01:59 PM Well, it seems you DO get the point(s) of the self-checkout. I don't use them because of the point(s)you make. I wish others would refuse to use them. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Rapparee Date: 16 Mar 05 - 02:04 PM Both, Carol C. But I've remarked on the stupidity of a sign that says "Speed Limit 65 mph" when I've been sitting in the same spot for an hour. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: CarolC Date: 16 Mar 05 - 02:55 PM But going under the speed limit is perfectly ok. Speed limit signs only specify the maximum speed you're supposed to go. They don't tell you that you shouldn't go below the speed limit. And all of the driver's handbooks say you should drive as fast as the speed limit allows only if it is safe to do so under current traffic and/or weather conditions. Otherwise, you're supposed to drive slower than the speed limit. That would, I assume, include rush hour traffic. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: gnu Date: 16 Mar 05 - 03:02 PM Not in La Belle Province. Ya got yer limit and ya got yer "maintain". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: gnu Date: 16 Mar 05 - 03:04 PM Of course, if you can't "maintain", you do have the option of driving on the shoulder with your emergency lights flashing. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Mar 05 - 03:39 PM .... waving your hand in front of your face when trying not to cry? What does it do? Magically waft the tears back in? Stop the snot running out your nose? What? WHAT??!! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Layah Date: 16 Mar 05 - 04:52 PM You mean when girls are acting like they are really upset and they fan themselves? I always assumed they were cooling themselves down so they didn't faint. I don't think I've ever seen someone do that when they actually were emotional, just when they were pretending to be. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Mingulay at work Date: 17 Mar 05 - 11:45 AM Among the instructions etc printed on the back of packaging for 'ding' meals. "CAUTION - CONTENTS MAY BE HOT AFTER HEATING". Be mighty concerned if they weren't. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Mar 05 - 04:14 PM They have to put those warnings on for McDonalds customers who don't realise that freshly poured coffee is hot and shouldn't be placed between the thighs whilst putting change away, answering the phone, pulling out of the drive in and flipping the mirror down to adjust lipstick.

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Bunnahabhain Date: 18 Mar 05 - 07:39 AM Shopping lists, unless they are actuallly written on your arm so you don't lose them within seconds. BTW Don, if I remember correctly, and this isn't just an old folk myth, any consecrated ground, such as a graveyard, has to be seperated off from normal ground for it to be consecrated. If it's true, ever was true, church law or secular law, I don't know, but I remember it from somewhere. And it would make sense. Stops people disturbing the dead accidentilly. Bunnhabhain |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Crystal Date: 18 Mar 05 - 07:52 AM If I write a shopping list I always write it on the back of my hand! Perfect, unless the weather is monsoon conditions in which case it dissappears in seconds! I wonder what is the point of The Sun (the paper, not the giant ball of superheated gas). KIt is certainly not to impart news, and the soft porn angle is largely covered by the internet now! |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 18 Mar 05 - 08:04 AM Nipples on men. Have any of us ever fed a sprog that way? Belly buttons. Oh - hang on. Where would I keep the salt when eating fish and chips in bed? House makeover programs. On the subject of changing speed limit signs, anyone ever driven on the Aston express way? 6 lanes and the middle 2 not only used to change speed limit but CHANGE DIRECTION depending on the time of day! Dunno if they still do it. Haven't been back to try it. Too scary for me:-) Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Joe_F Date: 18 Mar 05 - 09:03 AM Toothache? Look at all the machinery it takes -- root canal, special nerves. What possible good did all that do under the conditions in which it evolved? How did we respond to the resulting urgent signals when we were trotting around the African savannah, or swinging from trees, or whatever? Resolve to go to the dentist if we lived another 10^7 years? Those who believe in Providence rather than evolution have, IMO, some even fancier explaining to do. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Pretense must be more perfect than performance. :|| |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Once Famous Date: 29 Mar 05 - 09:19 PM Bunny baby I don't come here to debat. I've said that before, so there is no point trying. Debate is a waste of time for me here. I get no entertainment value from it and I do not have a need to stroke my ego with it. [bleep] (for antisocial behavior) Now, you tell me, what is the point of extra wide tampons for someone who is so narrow minded? |

There as so many pointless things on instructions now due to lawsuits from Folks that were either really dumb or looking carefully for something to jump on that at times when I read certain things I literally ROFLMAO!

Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST,Layah Date: 30 Mar 05 - 03:35 PM eyebrows, white spots you get on your fingernails, and cold weather. No, those don't have any relation to eachother, just what I was thinking about. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: GUEST Date: 30 Mar 05 - 03:45 PM "Braille instructions at the bank drive-through window - on the driver's side." Because blind people can and DO walk up to drive through tellers... Also Drive-Through ATMs are made from the same 'parts' as any other ATM... Why bother making a whole different set of keys with NO brail on them? Better to have it and not need it, than to not, and need... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the point of... From: Crystal Date: 30 Mar 05 - 04:31 PM white spots on the fingernails are due to zinc deficiency. Cold weather dosn't have a point, but if Scotland was warm then the wildcats would be too hot in their thick furry coats! So maybe cold weather in Scotland is to keep the wildcats happy. The rest of the UK has no excuse. What is the point of the BNP? |
