, could someone explain who came up with that phrase?

It wasn’t

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/26/2022:  05:15:02

popular until Harley-Davidson began using it in their advertising campaign.

Maybe

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/26/2022:  08:47:04

it’s an old quote of Plato’s.

I’ve enrolled in Latin studies at Karl’s KutRayt Kollege

OM45GE - Posted - 07/26/2022:  10:13:23

but it’s all Greek to me.

They have a different

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/26/2022:  15:49:07

instructor every day.

I’m beginning

OM45GE - Posted - 07/26/2022:  18:22:43

think none of them actually understand the language.

After all, they don’t

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/26/2022:  19:35:52

ever miss reading the exploits of the Latin ball players.



E pluribus unum

OM45GE - Posted - 07/27/2022:  02:42:26

is one of many Latin phrases that many people are familiar with but few know the meaning of.

which, ipso facto,

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/27/2022:  04:14:11

as well as “Isthere fury amongus” are overused sayings.

Another interesting

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/27/2022:  07:44:48

quote from the downside of town is “kiss my ass”.

I’m not sure

OM45GE - Posted - 07/27/2022:  13:54:45

what is so desirable about having one’s ass kissed.

Perhaps there is

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/27/2022:  15:24:57

a difference between ass kissing and brown nosing, which is probably depth perception.

Meanwhile

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/27/2022:  17:38:21

my boss is after me to lick his boots.

I told him

OM45GE - Posted - 07/28/2022:  02:59:39

I would rather die than do that.

He promptly drew

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/28/2022:  05:21:04

the shades and suggested something shady.

It was then

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/28/2022:  10:05:34

that his ravishing secretary, Lolita, walked in.

She gasped

OM45GE - Posted - 07/28/2022:  21:22:51

when she realized what was happening.

It wasn’t the

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/29/2022:  06:48:12

first time she had witnessed the window coverings detach and fall to the floor.



Soon after

these shenanigans my lawyer left me for another woman.

I never really knew what I saw in him

OM45GE - Posted - 07/29/2022:  11:34:52

other than his devilish good looks, his fancy car and his overflowing bank account.

Sure, you could say that I’m

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/29/2022:  12:50:55

a slave to money, but at least I’m not kissing asses anymore.

My last bank heist

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/29/2022:  14:42:08

was supposed to net enough cash that I could retire and move to the Bahamas.

Little did I

OM45GE - Posted - 07/29/2022:  17:54:22

know the cost of living in the Bahamas.

The loot will last me

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/29/2022:  18:18:46

for a week or two at Grim Jim’s Bar & Grille.

Jim’s cook, Lefty Handrahan, quit

OM45GE - Posted - 07/30/2022:  03:22:41

to pursue a career in the sanitation industry.

He

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/30/2022:  08:16:20

also owns “Lefty’s Pawn Shop” specializing in quality secondhand items he hauls in from his sanitation job.

One time

OM45GE - Posted - 07/30/2022:  14:31:51

he brought in a used queen size mattress only to discover it was infested with bedbugs.

Now they call him

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/30/2022:  16:00:24

on his phone, make wisecracks, and hang up.

Have you ever

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/30/2022:  21:14:48

seen the rain?

Excuse me, but my life is a series of song lyrics

OM45GE - Posted - 07/31/2022:  03:07:22

which may explain why I get invited to so many parties.



I don’t want to spoil

I left a good

woman pulling her hair out as I walked out the door to go get cigarettes.

She had a nicotine addiction

OM45GE - Posted - 07/31/2022:  16:09:34

that paled n comparison to her chocoholic habit.

She ate

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/31/2022:  18:24:26

Hershey’s when she worked at their Pennsylvania plant like there was no tomorrow.

After she gained 240 pounds

OM45GE - Posted - 08/01/2022:  02:53:36

she stopped appearing as a pole dancer at Grim Jim’s.

Apparently the

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/01/2022:  06:57:36

excessive consumption of chocolate had caused repulsive puss filled pimples on her face, hairy back, and buttocks.



Jim's regular customers

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/01/2022:  07:20:31

we’re always sloshed so they didn’t care.

But her tips evaporated

OM45GE - Posted - 08/01/2022:  13:30:08

and with them the funds for her chocolate habit.

The withdrawal symptoms

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/01/2022:  14:16:17

forced her into seclusion, isolated from society she was never seen or heard from again. 

 

He rode into town on a windswept 

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/01/2022:  14:47:57

overcast day, his ragged hat tied tight to his chin.

His old cayuse Otehead

OM45GE - Posted - 08/01/2022:  17:50:00

made straight for the comfort of the town stables.

There they found

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/02/2022:  05:26:02

Stable Master Otis shot dead, apparently bushwhacked.



There were signs

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/02/2022:  10:16:29

posted all over Fumbuk County concerning any information.

Horace Reerman responded

OM45GE - Posted - 08/02/2022:  16:05:10

with his usual succinctness.

He said,

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/02/2022:  17:31:28

“Aw shucks”.

This prompted

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/02/2022:  19:20:49

the posse to race over to Shucksville for any leads.

The sheriff there had

OM45GE - Posted - 08/03/2022:  03:07:37

never heard of stable master Otis.

He offered

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/03/2022:  07:21:16

everybody a drink at the Longhorn Saloon.

Soon the trail went cold

OM45GE - Posted - 08/03/2022:  15:23:33

and everybody headed home to watch Dobbie Gillis reruns.
