It's been around for years, and it's all about the sound of the words Matti. But I completely understand your comment; maybe my daughter with her Masters Degree in English could deconstruct and explain it.

But I don't have one of them, so I'm not even going to try.

Why can't you hear a pterodactyl use the bathroom?



Because the p is silent.

Did you know that Oscar Pestorius was having his apartment redecorated.

He wanted a new bathroom door but Reeva was dead against it .

Default 30th Anniversary

So, my wife and I have our 30th wedding anniversary coming up soon.

I thought I might get one of those "Mystery Destination" deals that most airlines run.

Gotta say, the free offer from Malaysian Airlines looks quite attractive.

Anyone else tried one?

Have you daughter deconstruct that and explain it. Apparently NZ English is enough different from USA English to confuse me also. I assume the term 'donkey' is the key, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
