In office environments where most toilets are of double occupancy, the rule is that if you hear sounds from a cubicle then it is best not to come out while the person is washing their hands/ drying etc.
Or have I got it completely wrong?
PS. This rule was in no way applicable to me, today or ever.
My jaw clicks
When I eat an apple
my mouth distends
amd then It clicks as if there is no end.
It clicks when I pull a face
then, I can't even pretend
I think I remember when it happened
I was going around a bend
I fell on my face
and to the hospital I was send
It's never been the same
though I wish I could make an amend
In the mornings I can't yawn
may be it transcends
My ears hurt and a bone sticks out
is there no mend?
I was reading in the Independent today
"It is well established that worker ants tend to take greater risks as they get older. Scientists have shown that this behavioural trait benefits the colony because certain risky activities, such as foraging far from the nest, are best done by ants coming to the end of their useful lives – it doesn't pay to put young workers in high-risk jobs.
As a result, younger ants tend to do housekeeping chores around the nest, which is inherently safer than travelling further afield."
...so if ant colonies are anything to go by then we should certainly be not be sending young 18 year olds to fight in the two wars. What about the ageing politicians going there for once, they haven't got anything to lose, well as such. ]]>
