Inappropriateness

2005 Update: Truth within reach of your enemy, beauty in the grasp of your friend or justice in the hands of a neighbor.
DEAR Mr. Dog!!!! Please do not draw the wrong conclewsions from my picture today!! I am just REHEARSING there!!! I am not in the "grasp" of Doo-Doo Man!!! I din't know you were freinds with him????! You're card-playing buddy in Heaven, PANSI
Okay, I can't resist. Totally not meant as a shameless plug, rather in keeping within the context of innapropriateness, toilets, and squatting, you must see Strider's recent post.
True inappropriateness is voting for someone to be President of the United States, who you would not trust to balance your checking account, or to teach your first grader to read English.
Then we are truly inappropriate as a nation aren't we.

ReplyDeleteJamie Dawn, I consider that very appropriate.
