Toilet paper tail

I wasn't quite quick enough with the camera today. I saw something I had never seen before. I saw a man come out of the bathroom with toilet paper stuck to the bottom of his shoe. It wasn't too long of a tail, but it was remarkable, nonetheless. It was four squares long and had the ends twisted into a point. Just what would that have been used for - cleaning his ears?

"Shit Can" - but only some types are allowed


I wonder what the can for Horse and Mule shit looks like - much bigger perhaps? And why the exclusion?


This can was seen in New Orleans right next to the horseless carriage hitching post. I didn't have the guts to look inside to see what kind of "shit" was in it.

36-22-10-20

Now I've got you guessing. Is this the combination to a secret padlock to a storage garage? a diary? my high school locker? Nope. It's something I'm very embarrassed to tell you.
It's the number of pairs of socks I have - by category.

Here's the summary:
36 pairs of trouser socks
22 pairs of work socks (wool, bulky)
10 pairs of holiday socks (pumpkins, santas, snowmen, snowflakes)
20 unmatched pairs of socks

I haven't even counted the white socks or nylons yet.
And this is after I threw 10 pairs in the garbage and donated 8 pairs to the Goodwill bag.

I bet my dad had 2 pairs of socks when he was growing up and Grandma probably made them.

Where did this obsession come from and how do I get rid of it?

You know what the bad thing is? I bet my kids each have more than I do. Time for confession girls....... and friends. Fess up.
