Alright guys, I know you've heard too much from my lame **** lately... I bought a sack of random tubes a while back that included some of some (apparent) use. Including the 12 something something somethings and the 6X4WA's.... they appear to be NOS,,, but I have no idea. I don't know if they will serve any purpose to anyone, but I am sure someone here could put them to better use than I can.

Since I rarely say something that could be considered a rational thought (even when compared to those lively individuals who find themselves inside fluffy walls), most random thought gets them.

    If you're flying down a river in a canoe, and all four wheels fall off, how many bandaids does it take to build a doghouse?

    I used to work at a fire hydrant factory.... you couldn't park anywhere near the place.

    The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

    Not in since I don't need them, but I like random thoughts...

    A looooooooong time ago I was in an aerobics class. In the middle of one of the exercises where the instructor was rather quiet she suddenly exclaimed, "I like music". Both my wife and I looked at each other and though, "uh, what"???

    Cool thanks. That makes me feel a lot better because somebody else was saying penicilin, amoxicilin, or something like that. Soap and water sounds much more straight forward.
