Jude: I read "Cry the Beloved Country" a few years ago. I thought it was a really excellant book, and added a lot to my understanding of South Africa.

I have a tee shirt that says "Runs with Scissors". It comes with a history.

Manning Coles, on MaN

Yes, Jude, the, a, and an can be ignored. As can "S" if you're not being such a purist, Gumtree.

Frybabe, I also have a T-shirt "Runs With Scissors", which comes with a happy history. When I wear it in public, I am sometimes stopped by teachers with appreciative comments.

I'm far from being a 'purist' but it's something of a challenge to find the titles for SEXY - sometimes I have to look around the shelves...

Roadside Crosses

by Jeffery Deaver

R, from TsaR

Frybabe · « **Reply #1619 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:21:45 AM »

I'm not sure you really want to know, Gum. Ok, first off, all my cats were/are "fixed". Then there was my ex who decided to become a woman. After the divorce, my new boyfriend remarked about all the males in my life (cats and ex) seem to get neutered. The first night I moved to Allentown, I managed to slice my finger on a sharp knife. The finger required four stitches. After that, my boyfriend decided I should not be allowed any sharp instruments and kept a "sharp" eye on me any time I grabbed one of the kitchen knives. And lastly, one of my fellow co-workers passed behind me while I was holding a scissors, just as I turned around. The scissors almost clipped him in his private parts. So you see, the tee shirt comes with a history. Everybody at work who was around long enough knows the history and think it's riot.

Frybabe, your story way tops mine--a whole different league. Thanks for sharing.

When my youngest daughter got married 13 years ago, one of the mementos she had for the bridal party was t-shirts with various comments that might have been written in a kindergarten evaluation. The only other one I remember is "does not play well with others". Anyway, I got a leftover "runs with scissors", and it reminds me of that happy wedding, leading to the current happy marriage. It's a good quality shirt, too, still looks OK.
