Yes, apparently there is such a thing! The coolest part of the page was a list of 'diner slang.' Diner slang was popular in diners, luncheonettes and lunch rooms from the 1920s until the 1970s. Although many of the terms were created for fun and to lighten the stress of the restaurant environment, having distinct names for menu items helped the short order cooks (according to the web page). You've probably heard some of this in old movies. But I found it so amusing I pulled some of the best slang to create a little quiz for you!

Here are the testimonials of a few people who did.... I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job? I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word... he knew better. I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, I think I like playing with men's balls. My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget. -<>- >Men Are Just Happier People _ ( ) ,,,,, \\ . . , \\ | - D (._) \__- | | | \\|_ , ,---- _ |----. \__ ( ( / ) _ | \/ \.

Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car Mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you are talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time; phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A 5-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all of your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe even decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter what your legs look like. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier. Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy reading it. ====================================================================== >-->From The Jokester: _|_ | .-'''''-. .-' '-. .-' :::::_::::: '-. ___/ ==:...:::-:::...:== \___ /_____________________________\ ':'-._________________________.-'_ ':::\ @-,`-[-][-^-][-]-`,-@ / _| |_ '::| .-------------------. ||_ @ _| ::|=|* ___ _ ___ *|=|'.| | ':| |' ))_) )) ))_) '| |::.^| _:|=|' ((`\ (( (( '|=|::::::. _| || |' _ '| |:::::::. |_ |=|'1634 _( )_ 1789'|=|':::::. | || |' ( (_ ~ _) ) '| | ':::' |^||=|* ) (_) ( *|=| '::' | '-------------------' .::::' |_____________________.::::::' .'___________________.::::::'' |_______________.::::'':::''' .'_____________.::::::''::::'' .:::'''' LGB .'::::' .:::::''':. .:::::' Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York: Born 1903-Died 1942 Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the car was on the way down.

I adjusted my tie. I got there and sat.............. In a pew just in time. Bowing my head in prayer......... As I closed my eyes. I saw the shoe of the man next to me..... Touching my own. I sighed. With plenty of room on either side...... I thought, 'Why must our soles touch?' It bothered me, his shoe touching mine.. But it didn't bother him much. A prayer began: 'Our Father'............ I thought, 'This man with the shoes..has no pride They're dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!' 'Thank You for blessings,' the prayer went on. The shoe man said...............a quiet 'Amen.' I tried to focus on the prayer....... But my thoughts were on his shoes again. Aren't we supposed to look our best.... When walking through that door? Well, this certainly isn't it,' I thought, Glancing toward the floor. Then the prayer was ended........... And the songs of praise began. The shoe man was certainly loud...... Sounding proud as he sang. His voice lifted the rafters........ His hands were raised high. The Lord could surely hear.... The shoe man's voice from the sky. It was time for the offering......... And what I threw in was steep. I watched as the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so deep. I saw what was pulled out............ What the shoe man put in. Then I heard a soft 'clink' .... as when silver hits tin. The sermon really bored me.......... To tears, and that's no lie. It was the same for the shoe man..... For tears fell from his eyes. At the end of the service........ As is the custom here. We must greet new visitors.... And show them all good cheer. But I felt moved somehow............. And wanted to meet the shoe man. So after the closing prayer.......... I reached over and shook his hand. He was old and his skin was dark..... And his hair was truly a mess. But I thanked him for coming......... For being our guest. He said, 'My names' Charlie.......... I'm glad to meet you, my friend.' There were tears in his eyes......... But he had a large, wide grin. 'Let me explain,' he said.......... Wiping tears from his eyes. 'I've been coming here for months.... And you're the first to say 'Hi.'' ' I know that my appearance......... 'Is not like all the rest. 'But I really do try................. 'To always look my best.' 'I always clean and polish my shoes.... 'Before my very long walk. 'But by the time I get here........ 'They're dirty and dusty, like chalk.' My heart filled with pain............ and I swallowed to hide my tears As he continued to apologize........ For daring to sit so near. He said, 'When I get here........... 'I know I must look a sight. 'But I thought if I could touch you.. 'Then maybe our souls might unite.' I was silent for a moment............ Knowing whatever was said Would pale in comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my head. 'Oh, you've touched me,' I said...... 'And taught me, in part; 'That the best of any man............ 'Is what is found in his heart.' The rest, I thought,................. This shoe man will never know. Like just how thankful I really am... That his dirty old shoe touched my soul You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to your friends, No matter how often you talk, Or how close you are, And send it to the person who sent it to you.

In the middle of the table was a large Pot of stew which smelled Delicious and made the holy man's mouth Water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their Mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell." They went to the next Room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the firs t one.

An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the Mexican. "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life." The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" asked the Mexican. "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." "How long would that take?" asked the Mexican. "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American. "And after that?" "Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican. "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

A `/ \-| (,`) )' (' \/\ / | ) (. jgs (' ),). _W_ | (,)' ) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I do not know who originally wrote this but it is a classic. A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question: "Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof." Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year, 'That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then 2 cannot be true, and so Hell is exothermic." This student got the only A. --- ...Thanks Steve - a funny. I couldn't help thinking about the biblical meaning of 'hell' during my reading of this though.

OLIVE, W.Va. - Police in Kanawha County, W.Va., have arrested a couple after they allegedly forced their daughter to fight a schoolmate. Debra Sue and Thomas Leon Grubb of Mt. Olive, W.Va., were arrested and accused of forcing the July 22 confrontation between their daughter, Gabrielle, and a schoolmate, Megan Willis, The Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail reported Thursday. State Police Trooper J.M. Comer said the two girls had been feuding over "kid things. You know, one is a cheerleader, one is not... childish stuff that should have ended long before this." Willis told police she was riding all-terrain vehicles with two friends when their path was blocked by the Grubbs' family vehicle. Willis said Gabrielle Grubb's parents approached her and said she wouldn't be able to run from their daughter anymore. "Gabrielle pleaded with her mom to please forget the situation, that she wished not to fight Megan," Comer wrote in the criminal complaint filed against the parents. "Debbie then removed Gabrielle from the vehicle" and the girls began to fight, Comer said. Willis sustained cuts to her mouth and foot. Gabrielle Grubb was not injured. __ _______ /*_>-< ___/ _____ \__/ / <____/ \____/ Valerie Haecky -- Boy kills snake at petting zoo ------------- CINCINNATI - A 10-year-old boy who said he hated snakes killed a 10-foot python at petting zoo by stomping on the reptile's head. Scott Braunstein, a reptile handler who brought the snake to the St. Bernadette Festival in Amelia, Ohio, last weekend, said he was shocked by the boy's violence, The Cincinnati Enquirer said Thursday. The snake, named Popcorn, was a non-poisonous albino Burmese python. Braunstein, who operates House of Reptiles in Dry Ridge, Ky., said the boy approached him and told him that he hated snakes. The child then raised his leg and stomped down on the snake's head, Braunstein said. A man believed to be the boy's father grabbed the child and said, "This is why I don't take you anywhere," before disappearing into the crowd, the newspaper said. "I've never, never had anything like that happen," Braunstein told the newspaper.

"We call her Blinky because all four eyes blink at the same time," said Greg Hamstra, owner of the dairy. The heifer has one neck and two ears, but also has four eyes, two mouths and two noses, the Fresno Bee reported Thursday. Hamstra joked that he wasn't charging admission for workers to view the two-headed calf, which was found Tuesday morning. "We're probably getting less done today than normal," he said. Blinky was discovered by one of the workers, Hamstra said. Local veterinarian Pete Kistler said the calf is "a rare, freaky thing," adding that he isn't sure if the deformity is genetic or developmental. ============================================================ _ /' `\ k___y th j /`Y'\ .,--,. \___/ ... ,' __ ', _ ||| j /' `\ t f | t j f | | j t_| T j \ / t Y| | ', `--' ,' || U '~--~' LJ *------------------ Diner Slang Answers ------------------* Paint it red Put ketchup on an item Java, Joe or a cup of mud Coffee A blonde with sand Coffee with cream and sugar Shake one in the hay Strawberry milkshake Cackle fruit Eggs Wreck 'em Scrambled eggs Adam & Eve on a raft Two poached eggs on toast On the hoof Any kind of meat cooked rare Bloodhound in the Hay Hot dog and Sauerkraut Whistleberries Baked beans Frog sticks French fries Paint a bow-wow red Gimme a hot dog with ketchup Irish turkey Corned beef and cabbage Zeppelins in a fog Sausages and mashed potatoes Burn one Put a hamburger on the grill Pin a rose on it Add onion to an order Burn one; drag it through Hamburger with lettuce, tomato the garden and pin a rose and onion on it. =================================================================== >-->From The MouthPiece: >Readers Write in... _ _ (_'-----'_) (_.'""""._) fsc I thought I'd share a couple of your broken bone stories! "I thought this might give you a chuckle or two. True story: My girlfriend and next door neighbor broke her arm. During the hot months July and August she was in a cast. My husband worked in a factory but in the evenings he was a Mechanic at home. He fixed cars for a lot of fellow workers, He had all the tools including an Air Compressor. This one night after a very hot day my husband was in the garage WITH his factory foreman, the Factory General Foreman, and another foreman. My friend came running out and without stopping to see who, if anyone was there, she came around the corner of the garage shouting "Oh Ronnie your here I need a blow job Now!" Need I say anymore!" "I too know you're pain. The first time I broke my left ankle was in 7th grade. I was at a basketball game and fell off the bleachers. It was at the end of the game maybe less than a minute to go. Everyone was standing, screaming, no one even noticed me laying on the ground til it was over. Yeah, it was embarrassing and it yeah, it sucked! I had a cast on for six weeks. By the way, we lost that game. Fast forward 20 years, I'm walking in the parking lot to my apartment, just got off work. It was February, some snow on the ground, but the sun was out. It was actually a nice day. I didn't want to get my feet wet, so I took the long way to get to the door. I fell on a patch of black ice. It hurt really, really bad and I did hear a crack! I tried to get up but there was no way I could put weight on it. The worst part of all of it I screamed and no one heard me. I had to CRAWL to my door and my husband let me in. My girls were scared because mommy was crying, (kinda a wimp with pain). We went to the ER and I had broken two bones in my LEFT ankle. Six weeks in a cast. So sorry to hear about your foot. Hopefully once is enough for you." --Tina "so far, knock on my wooden head, I have no broken bones... but my son did it good, both legs in an auto accident...

He tumbled to the ground and didn't move. We grabbed our first- aid gear and rushed out onto the field. The coach picked up the young man's hand and urged, "Son, can you hear me? Squeeze once for yes and twice for no." [Thanks to Reader's Digest.] -<>- Although we were being married in New Hampshire, I wanted to add a touch of my home state, Kansas, to the wedding. My fiancee, explaining this to a friend, said that we were planning to have wheat rather than rice thrown after the ceremony. Our friend thought for a moment. Then he said solemnly, "It's a good thing she's not from Idaho." -<>- Rummaging through her attic one day, my friend Kathryn found an old shotgun. Unsure how to dispose of it, she called her parents. "Take it to the police station," her mother suggested. My friend was about to hang up when her mom added.... "And, Kathryn?" "Yes, mom?" "Call them first and let them know you're coming." -<>- Mr. Gable had a leak in the roof over his dining room, so he called a repairman to take a look at it. "When did you first notice the leak?" the repairman inquired. Mr. Gable scowled.

Yeah Clinton admits his mistake in a new 200 page introduction." --Conan O'Brien "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith has some competition this weekend. You know, as soon as the movie came out, it was up on a website and available for download. But the FBI and Department of Homeland Security put a stop to that.
