If our oxygen isn't to help us breathe, then why can I breathe with it and not without it?

On most of the why's I do not have an answer but On Towse last Why I've got the answer. It is just the way we were put together. When a woman invites a man for dinner she prepares properly. The right Dress, not to much not too little, the Right food, not too much not too little. The right music, not too hard not too soft just right. Etc etc however the male brain can not multifunction and with less words and restricted vocabulary because we don't talk a lot, the male invitation for dinner sounds like this: Bring food come naked. So if you dont have money how you cant bring food and then there will be no sex - See the explanation is simple.

Oh So true!

Why don't you have a banner around your neck next time you go past the broadside of smokers "Risk of Explosive person passing "

I keep pondering on one of my consultants comments "You are exercise intolerant! You find walking difficult?"

Be Well

Why oh why......if we knew the answers to these questions of the funny ways of other people we could earn a fortune as philosophers......on the other hand if we knew all the answers life would be far less

amusing and amazing!

Take care with your oxygen line I am really getting worried about it and am just glad I do not have one!

Thank you for my giggle and frustrations for the day - one more needs adding - Why is it that HMRC is always right????? Have a great day xxx

I a pleased to say the HMRC are not always right. I had the DWP say I had not paid enough NI according to HMRC? After 6 phone calls and many months I got though to someone that was willing to listen and investigate. I proved I had paid the NI but it took over 4 months and my MP to get it sorted with the DWP even with the letter from HMRC confirming it!

BTW because you have it on your wage slip does not mean it has been paid!
