Or you're often fantasizing. Either way,

Well hello there... :joylove:

That list is questionable, at best.

You wanna know if a woman likes ya? Look at her feet.

If they're behind her ears, she likes ya a lot.:yesnod:

Cash and carry...

I'm having trouble accepting this...

Snopes and several other sites do a thorough job debunking this April Fool's Joke:

Not surprised in the least, just too outrageous.

The bastards running JC Whitney, the Warshawskys...

I bought lots of things from them during my younger, poorer days.
Most of them even worked.

Yeah, so did I but I was lucky not to get screwed because I was too young to have a credit card when everyone got screwed.

This is apparently a common clothesline for apartment dwellers in Japan.
It's a screen capture from a XXX video and they don't budget much for props.

How trees grow limbs...

Fascinating. Now I am wondering about sapwood vs. heartwood where the limbs intersect with the trunk. In a tree, the sap travels through the outer sapwood, and the heartwood is dead, but what path does the sap follow to get to the limbs? There appears to be no capillary connection between the sapwood of the trunk and the limbs. Is the pith (the center) of the tree also a carrier of sap? Is the pith alive, and the heartwood dead, and the sapwood alive?

Incidentally, the sapwood carries a decay resistant compound, which is why this post has rotted away in this pattern. The living part of the tree (when it was cut down) hasn't rotted away, and the dead part has. I guess I answered my own question.

The cambium layer under the bark goes up the trunk and out the limbs, there's no break between the two. The cambium builds new wood and feeds the leaves the water to photosynthesise food for the tree.

Actually it's really mind boggling looking at all the things that come into play to keep the Earth as we know it doing it's thing reliably.

I liked the old siggy better.
