Nonsense
And I discovered I AM IN THE 75% GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick any thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb." Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. The first couples to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury. Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. Coca-Cola was originally green. It is impossible to lick your elbow. The State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: Alaska The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% (now get this...) The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38% The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400 The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour: 61,000 Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer. The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne Clubs -Alexander, the Great Diamonds - Julius Caesar 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed last signature wasn't added until 5 years later. Q. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what? A. Their birthplace Q. Most boat owners name their boats. What is the most popular boat name requested? A. Obsession Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? A. One thousand Q. What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common? A. All invented by women. Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil? A. Honey Q. Which day are there more collect calls than any other day of the year? A. Father's Day In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase..."goodnight, sleep tight." It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in- law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month. This is known today as the honeymoon. In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's" Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice. ~~~~~~~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~~~~~~~~ At least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow.

| Cool stuff!
I did NOT try to lick my elbow, but only because the guy across the hall from me has been staring at me all day and I didn't want to get into a conversation with him ~ he's weird.  |

| Heck yeah!
I thought about it for a couple seconds before I didn't do it! Actually, I'm still thinking about it . . . . |
| I tried.. and succeeded! I had help though. If you twist your arm sideways and bend it (kind of like you were going to elbow someone) and have someone else press it toward your body, you can hit it with the tip of your tongue.
No one said I had to do it alone or that it would feel good either. |

| No can do. There's a 4" gap between my tongue and my elbow.
And now I have to explain myself to Weird Guy. |

| LOl...I didnt try to lick my elbow, but theresa, my assistant did...silly girl |
| Ummm, I don't think so, LOL! That would mean Weird Guy would have to touch me and it's been a long time since my last cootie shot.
When this guy moved in across the hall last year I saw him looking at the next building over through binoculars. I tend to keep my distance now. I've got plenty of work to do, it's the motivation factor that I'm currently lacking!! |
| You can't lick your elbow is the one thing on this list I already knew. LOL
When I was a little girl one of my favorite books was about a girl who found out she was a fairy. Can you guess what the test was to tell if she was a fairy or not??? That's right! Licking her elbow!! I still remember reading it...."only fairies can lick their elbows!" I tried it when I was eight...many times...I really wanted to be a fairy! |
| I had a friend who was double jointed in his shoulders so he could flip them forward and then lick his elbows. It was absolutely disgusting. But mesmerizing. |
