I just wanted to say- sure we can live on them (I do) but have you ever tried running on one? Especially w/ sharp rocks and right after winter when your feet are still soft..

I

think the funniest things are having arguements about roosters actually being chickens (apparently they're not?) and that I don't live where I do because They can't see it from the road.
"There're six houses back there."
"No there's not. there's only 2."
"Then why do we each have 3 mailboxes??"
Some people... No I have no CLUE were I live, Please Feel Free to tell me. Make it a mansion.

Yeah try living in Rhode Island. Some more educated ones (pathetic) will at least know the general location and ask, "Isn't that an island off of New York like Long Island?" "No, sadly it's not."

I watched a cooking show, where the host announces--"The only difference between white eggs and brown eggs are the brown eggs are laid by brown hens and white eggs are laid by white hens!"

37yrs ago, dh and I visited his aunt and uncle who only had an out house....I, being the city girl, went in to use the bathroom, while dh held the door..After a long while he asked if I was ok, to which I replied, "yes, but I can't figure out how to flush this thing...", To which I heard several loud, rolling laughter--they had all walked down to see if everything was ok!!! I was so embarrassed!!!!!!

The first time my sister came to visit us, I gave her wonderful, complete directions--Everyone raves about my directions and no one ever gets lost..--so I was so surprised when she callled and she was lost.. I asked her where she was and she said "sitting at the corner of Gulley and Anne"---I said "well you just missed my drive"....Her reply "Well your directions said it was a dirt road and that one has gravel on it"!!!!

Omg, you just reminded me of something! My parents live in a log cabin, with an old fashioned toilet that you flush by pulling the chain that hangs from the tank up on top. So we had a bunch of people over. A tiny 7 year old girl goes in and flushes just fine. A 20-something college student goes in, long pause, then he pokes his head out and asks how to flush.

I can't believe a chef on a cooking show would say that! It didn't even get edited out.

Several years ago I was having a political discussion with several of my coworkers. It was centered around the upcoming mayorial election in Birmingham. I live over 30 miles outside of the city limits. After making my opinion known I said " It doesn't matter what I think though, since I can't vote". A young woman who I don't think had ever left the pavement said "Can you vote for president?" When I told her that I did still live in the U.S. I just live in an unincorprated part of the county. She asked , well do you have cows in your yard.

The nerve of you to think you know where you live! I have never heard of such nonsense!

I have the same problem with my address. My mother called me from UPS and one day and said "Lady they say your address does not exist can you confirm it for me" So I repeated it to her and she handed her phone to the UPS clerk who said "That address does not exist" I said

"Then please go tell the mortgage company and the electric company that I am paying someone else's bill"
