Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

Yes, like trying to define " a stone's throw" away.
Were my wife to throw the stone, it might make 20'.
Were I to throw the stone, it might make 100'.
Were a pro baseball pitcher to throw the stone, it would travel several hundred feet.
At the end of the day, one must take into account who the person is that is uttering the phrase.

Finally, having spent some time in South Africa, I came across two unusual terms there.
" just now" and "now now"
When asked for an explanation " just now" is meant to convey a time between 5 and 10 minutes and "now now" is meant to convey a time span of 10-30 minutes, or maybe it's the other way around.
Either way, neither expression means " now"

Before the Bronze Age, people who came in third place, were just called losers.

Between the Stone Age, and the Bronze Age, there was The Copper Age.
Back then, people really knew how to conduct themselves.

Marital tip:
The next time you're having an argument, with your wife, start undressing.
She will instantly have a headache, and then, go to sleep.

My wife, of 56 years, has just told me she has been faking her orgasms, every time we've had sex.
I can't believe she lied to me, not once, but twice.

Q: What do you call a woman, who knows where her husband is, at all times?
A: A widow.
