The guy doing the biting and chewing wasn't on the list of the Meanest Players in Baseball was he?; 9/16/11, 12:02 PM

You only swallow if you know the man, right?; 9/16/11, 12:03 PM

In this case? Lucky it wasn't eye lashes.

virgil xenophon said...: Reminds me of that old lawyers joke used to illustrate why one should never ask a question that one does not already know the ans to: An attny, defending a man accused of biting off a man's ear in a bar-fight, was interrogating a witness on the stand who claimed that he had proof the defendant did it. After admitting under cross that he hadn't actually seen the defendant bite the plaintiff's ear off, the defense attny couldn't let well enough alone, asking further: "Well, if you admit you didn't actually see my client bite the man's ear off, how do you KNOW?" To which the witness replied slyly: "Because I saw him spit it out." LOL.

Steve M. Galbraith said...: With apologies to Robert Frost (and Bastiat), the unseen eyebrows not taken: You can stop now.

You suppose he was plucking his brows and like sawing the leg off the wobbly table, kept going?; 9/16/11, 1:01 PM

traditionalguy said...: Speaking of biting off an enemy's face and spitting it out, The Palestinian leaders we support are going to bite off the west bank and Jerusalem and not spit it out unless Obama says so.

Abbas is confident of victory if they do it before Obama leaves office.

Meanwhile Bloomberg is predicting food riots all over the country by the unemployed as soon as all the copper is gone.

Wince said...: Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall;

And did it my way!; 9/16/11, 2:33 PM
