Do we Really 'Grow Up', as we get older?

When you are Four, or five, 'Poo' jokes are hilarious, when you are in your Teens- certainly for boys- 'anything to do with 'Erection' is funny (Smiths 'Ground Work and Erection Company', for example.)

Now we are Big, Mature, Fully Grown Up Adults... right? Read this list of invitations....

Mr & Mrs Rowbottom,

The Bottlies,

John & Patricia Bumsford

Peter & Camilla Bottington-Smyth

John Poopdale

Paul Strain, from Lower Bottly

The Reverend Simon Bottsworth, from Upper Bottly

And not forgetting 'Foggy Bottom Garden' at Thursford (really true)

How's the 'Biggus Dikkus' face?

Grown Up, my Six Mile Bottom! (really exists too)

For some infantile reason I have always found Nether Wallop hilarious. I must admit with some of the above I reckon I would have to change my name by deed poll.

It causes such a laugh when we laugh at something rude. I remember years ago being out with some friends. It got to our pudding. Mine was horn of plenty, it looked so rude, we couldn't stop laughing 🤣😂 and got told off for being too loud, we were only laughing!! We did have rude laughs though 😂🤣 xxxx❤️💗

Thank you. I've been feeling really off. Be glad when I've had my cystoscopy and MRI on Monday. Bloods tomorrow. How are you feeling tonight?

Lots of love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Niao• in reply to4 years ago

Awk Lynne, you're having a tough old time of things for sure! I'm ok but wish you were better! Hope it all goes smoothly tomorrow with bloods and isn't too stressful. You take good care of yourself and get some rest, if possible. 💕💕💕💕💕

• in reply toNiao4 years ago

Aww, bless you thank you. The nurse doing my bloods is very good, most have problems getting mine but 🤞🤞she will be as good as ever. Not looking forward to cystoscopy next Monday but at least my consultant did say if it hurts or gets too much just tell me to stop and I said don't worry I will!!! She is lovely though .How are you feeling tonight?

Love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜🤗

Niao• in reply to4 years ago

I'm sure you're not, but someone told me, who had it done, it really wasn't anywhere near as bad as they'd imagined it would be at all, and very quick too. So hopefully that will be the case. I'm the usual, could be a better, but could be so much worse😊 Xxx

• in reply toNiao4 years ago

Thank youProblem is I'm already very sore and narrow.xxxx💜❤️

Niao• in reply to4 years ago

I know Lynne, I would be dreading it too but it will, at least, be quick. I wish I could magic away the pain, it's not nice! Bedtime for me, Nighty night and sleep tight. 💕💕💕

• in reply toNiao4 years ago

Thank you. Think she's going to help me insert catheter which I've never been able to do!!! Night night sweet dreams xxxx ❤️🤗

I have grown up a lot in life, was never much into crude jokes, it they are funny and not terribly offensive I love them. I like to laugh and we need to laugh it is good for the mind and body, I just bought some Robin Williams CD's, I am English originally, I like Brit humor it is dryer and I think more sophisticated!!!But good humor is good humor, I have what looks like a little pill bottle, it has a kitten peeping out the top, on the side what looks like 2 capsules, the label reads RX there is a lady bird on the top row of the label, the prescription reads "Laughter is the Best Medicine", my pharmacist loves it, I would get her one, but I cannot find them!!! So I would say, yes some of us grow up, I had a friend who's name was Rusty Pipes!!! Lets all laugh everyday, life is too short to be too serious.....Sending love, jokes and hugs, also laughing brings blood pressure down. (Insert smiley face)....

• in reply toSprinkle14 years ago

You are so right. I love a laugh as long as it doesn't upset anyone. Xxxx❤️💗

I like puns if they're clever. Comedy nearly always lifts my mood. I don't think I've grown up very much. When my kids were I would look forward to the latest kids film as much as them.

• in reply toRoxylox4 years ago

Me too xxxx

Oh these are really good, thanks for thatt

A couple more to add to the list. I used to work for a trade union and came across these. Surname of Death, A Crapper, and a couple called Curry and Rice.

Oh and one more in another job. I worked for the civil service and asked a customer their full name. He muttered his middle names very quickly and I couldn't catch them, but checking on the computer they were 'Pretty Boy'. This is absolutely true x

Niao4 years ago

Just to say Good Morning Andrew, hope all is well, and sorry I seem to have been chatting on your post for far too long! It was not my intention! Hope your day goes well. Xxx

AndrewT• in reply toNiao4 years ago

Dear Niao,

Can I just say two 'things' here... One I Deliberately Phrased, my 'Post' to generate further discussion- hence my references to the 'Biggus Dickus' face. Secondly this IS an 'Open' Forum, if I had wanted it to be Private I would have (P)rivate (M)essaged this Post. In other words Niao, thank you for your Input- it's Most Welcome.

i always laughed at 'Are you being served' and Mrs Slocombe's pussy.I doubt they would get away with it today.

This is the opposite for me I feel like I have grown up even though I am young I know a lot of stuff because of doing research feel like I have lots of knowledge that a teenager shouldn’t have 🤣

Niao• in reply toHb20034 years ago

I felt the same at your age Hiba, but you can never have enough knowledge! And look how well you're putting that knowledge to very good use!😊💜💕💜
