what a lady may do has changed over the years, surely. a lady today may be quite drunk in public, she might even flash people and have sexual relations in public, and with virtual strangers. she can, without losing her ladylike bearing, curse loudly as she stumbles down the street.

but i am afraid, even today a lady still would not wedge a pole that far upwardly between her buttocks cheeks, at least on a crowded subway car. that is not dtb.

Thank you, kind sir. I will say, sometimes the thong isn't sitting just right, and it's really unladylike to stick one's fingers up one's butt in public. Better to just rub up, if you know what I mean.

I'm pretty sure that lady could get someone to help her.

this reminds me of the best bit from the gervais podcasts.

paraphrased and probably shortened:

Karl: I think it would be good to have me head transplanted onto some other bloke's body. That way if someone says I'm fat I can say it isn't me fault.

Steven: Hmmm, but then if you wank, that'd make you gay, no, because it'd be another man's cock and balls.

Karl: No, because it wouldn't be me hands either.

That's me. And now that people are plausibly attributing me to you, I shall go shoot myself.

Fuck. A waste of another one of my picks. You couldn't have realized this in December? That's just thoughtless.

makes sense. you can only go downhill from here.

Feathers and Steel

Some additional insights on birds, jet engines, and their dysfunctional relationships from journalist and flying enthusiast James Fallows:

Quote:

And birds? Birds are a much more serious worry for people flying airplanes than you would think, no matter the size of the plane. Obviously it's bad for the bird when it hits a hard metal or composite structure at hundreds of miles an hour. But it's surprisingly bad for the plane too. This detail in a recent NYT story rang true to me: "The impact of a 12 pound bird hitting a plane traveling at 150 miles per hour is equal to that of a 1,000 pound weight dropped from a height of 10 feet, according to experts on bird strikes."

Coastal airports are often near water; most airports are surrounded by a lot of grass; the combination means that flocks of birds often assemble where they can do themselves and the airplanes real harm. At an airport in Maryland I once aborted a takeoff in a small propeller plane -- the only time I've had to do so -- because, out of nowhere, dozens of Canada geese suddenly appeared in front of me. It's all too common, when approaching airports near water, to have to concentrate on flocks of seagulls (or crows, even away from water) in hopes that they will, by the very last instant, get out of the way and allow you to land.

And ditching in water? This is something that very few amateur or professional pilots have ever practiced for real.

To deal with an extremely serious problem -- failure of both engines, at least as now reported; to consider various options (on to Teterboro? back to LGA? what about the water?) while the plane is inevitably descending and each passing second narrows your choices; to decide on and commit to a course of action; and then to carry it out flawlessly .. all this deserves admiration, study, and thanks. So, yes, he's a hero. And one of several who emerged that day.

Uh, carry on.

I was on a plane once that hit a bunch of birds during takeoff. About an hour before we were to arrive at our destination, the pilot came on and told us that we hit the birds (there was a noise during takeoff, but nothing catastrophic sounding) and that they had no way of knowing whether the birds damaged the landing gear. So we would be descending like a normal landing, but if the landing gear were to fail to deploy on descent, we would be doing a fly-by and waiting for the (ready and waiting emergency personnel) to foam down the runway for an emergency landing. Happily the landing gear deployed on take one and we didn't have to go with plan B. There were a lot of firetrucks, ambulances, etc. waiting or us when we got to the airport. Quite a welcome.
