Fact 11:You just said Zayer Git!
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

‘”Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. thats right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?
I dont get this one. If you eat it you no longer have it, as the saying correctly points out “you cant have your cake and eat it too” it is one or the other
Unless you mean the word “too” isnt neccesary?
ubiquitin,
don’t finish the whole cake then you have it and ate it
ivdu,
thank you forr the laugh
ivdu – that last one made me literally laugh out loud!
(I assume the title of this thread was supposed to be “A little laughter”, unless its intentional)

First you have the cake and then you eat it. If you don’t have the cake, you can’t eat it. I have never understood this quote. It makes no sense. It would make more sense to say, “You can’t eat the cake, and have your cake too.”
It was originally in the opposite order. Then people mixed it up.
Trust,
granted it is easier to understand your way but either way makes sense.
If I say “it cant be night and day too” that means it cant be both at the same time. OF course it can be night and then day afterwards. “You cant have your cake and eat it too” MEans you have to choose one or the other you can a) have your cake (i.e have it in your possesion) or b. eat your cake. You simply cannot do both at the same time it is one or the other.
Interestingly some poeple do say “You cant eat your cake and have it too” but thta is less common and (according to one account)actually helped lead to the arrest of the unabomber.
Wikipedia has an entry on this idiom that includes early versions going back to the 16th century
Mods, can u please change this thread title to “a little laughter” (instead of “a liitle laughter”)? It’s irritating.
Mods – why would you post my above post, and then not change it? I mean, you obviously read it, so….
Is that Moderator 100??
(maybe the mods don’t read English)
thanx, Little Froggie – I think it was that insult to the mod’s pride that did it 😉
