Recently on "Says You," the public radio word game they asked the panelists do distinguish between three positions in which to lie: prone, supine and prostrate. How I remember these: a sniper lies prone and he is prone to get shot, you lie supine on your spine and if you lie prostrate someone could examine your prostate. *hee*

Love the thought of you in that position, studpuppy!

:) I almost wrote prost(r)ate.

Then I imagined myself looking like a gunky chestnut and thought better of it ... .

Was it Shaw or Wilde who spoke of the English professor who received an essay describing a woman who had taken a tumble on the stairs and was lying "prostitute" on the floor. The professor wrote a note: "At your age you should be able to tell the difference between a fallen woman, and one who has merely lost her balance."

I'd love to read the latest essay!

I've never read that, but it absolutely perfectly stated! I wish I could speak so smoothely! (Leave it to an Irishman!) :)

I can forward it to you, if you'd like, once I am home from work ... .

the complaining prostitute: "it ain't the work, it's the stairs."

So many folks looking at her? :)

(I'm a cornball, I know ... .)

Please do!

I'll have to do it this evening, Sweet Fella. I came home last night absolutely bushed and didn't even get on the computer for more than a second.

Thanks for being interested in reading it!

Take your time--I won't be reading much apart from assignments for the next few days

Coo' Beans!

Man! I look forward to when I finish these essays! Nothing but reading, writing, and lounging for just plain ol' me ... Ahhhh.

You must be looking forward to a school break, Sirrah!

It's a common mistake and a really, really funny one. Heh...he said "protate!"
