BS: 4 Things I Don't Need to Know

From: Bee-dubya-ell

In an attempt to avoid information overload, I've prepared this short list of things I absolutely do not need to know. Please don't provide the answers as they would just be more mental baggage I'd have to carry around.


1) How to get to Toledo, Ohio.

2) How to tune a sackbut.

4) William Shatner's preferred reading material while taking a dump.

5) Anything at all about Paris Hilton.

I bet you don't need driving instructions to Crawford, Texas, either. That's another one to check off the list.

I can tell you how William Shatner tunes a sackbut in Toledo, Ohio while taking a dump at the Paris Hilton.

These are four things I definitely do not need to know:

1) Prince's opinions on the geo-political ramifications from the creation of the State of Israel.

2) Michael Jackson's assessment of the male's responsibility as a role model.

3) Madonna's favorite flavor of douche.

4) Hillary Clinton's opinion on anything.

And these are four I don't need to know:

1. pdq's favorite flavour of ice cream.

2. His sign.

3. His sexual history, meager as it no doubt is.

4. His opinion on anything.

I would like to know what viruses do when they are not busy being viral. And where dust comes from. I'd like to know where the time goes. I'd also like to know how the world keeps getting put back the next morning, and the Key to Good Sleep.

Among other things.

Rapaire, I don't think you have to worry much about number 3 -- it's an oxymoron.

I just realized that the list in my original post is labeled 1,2,4,5, omitting #3. That means there are 5 things I don't need to know, not 4, but I can't remember what the third one is.

This is worrisome. I would say it might cause me to lose sleep, but it's morning and I'm wide awake. Perhaps it will cause me to lose wake.

BWL, I think what happened is that you and Rapaire experienced a thought-form domain collision, causing him to include your number 3 in his list, and to make it oxymoronic so as to not to have a catastrophic impact on cognitive space-time frameworks. So it is not a problem.

the list of things I specifically need to NOT know is large, though limited. The list of things I just don't need to know is infinite.

Thus, I will not begin it.

Pat Robertson has an opinion about oral sex?

I didn't need to know that.

Poor man. He will probably go to hell for thinking about oral sex while forming an opinion. I do remember sneaking a peak at a book about sex designed for practicing Catholics. Mom had it hidden in the closet. Oral sex was OK as long as actual ejaculation took place in the vagina. Ejaculation any place else was a sure ticket to hell.

Now...if Pat Robertson is (as I suspect) against oral sex, he will be forced to spend eternity with a whole bunch of Catholics who tried it and didn't move in time. As well as with Bill Clinton who didn't believe it was sex at all.
Ironic!

Dear brother Pat's opinion was that decent people probably shouldn't do it, since gay people do it a lot. I don't know if he had been watching a lot of gay people, but I'm sure it's true if he says so...

Nah! The reason Pat Robertson is against oral sex is because he thought it meant having sex with Oral Roberts. And Pat would never even consider having sex with Oral. Jimmy Swaggart gives much better blow jobs.

That's the trouble with thinking about things you don't need to know. You end up knowing far more about them than you should.
