Heaving the Lifesaver
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 2:20 amTo bring back a version of an oldie:
Discalimer: Some words, no matter how common, are not in my verbalized nor written usage so you'll have to do with the asterisks.
Using a bowl of lifesavers, a college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first
graders. He gave all the children the same kind of lifesavers, one at a time, asking them
to identify them by color and flavor.
The children began responding:
"Red............cherry,"
"Yellow.......lemon,"
"Green...........lime,"
"Orange.......orange."
Finally, the professor gave them all clear, honey-flavoured lifesavers. After eating them for
a few moments,however, none of the children could identify the taste.
"Well," he said, "I'll give you a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.
One little girl looked up in horror, spit hers out and yelled,
"Oh, My God!!!! They're a**holes!"
