Ok Mr Know-It-All.

What word in the English language is singular until you ad an "s" which makes it Pural....(ok now here its the trick part)...BUT when you add a second "s" its singular again??????

I've been trying to find the answer to this one but now have to concede defeat. Soooo, what is it?!?

  • 7 months later...

long tongues and no wisdom teeth seem to be dominant inheritable traits in my family. heh. I wonder if the genes are linked? My sister's tongue is longer than mine. We measured. lol!!!!

evilah

And so people the moral of the story is ......

There once was a Red Indian who had only one testicle, and hose given name was 'One-stone'. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him One-stone. After years and years of torment, One-Stone finally cracked and said, "If anyone calls me One-Stone again I will kill them!"

The word got around and nobody called him that any more.

Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, "Good Morning, One-Stone."

He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.

The word got around that One-Stone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away. Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw One-Stone. She hugged him and said, "Good to see you, One-Stone."

One stone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die.

What is the moral of this story?????...........................

OH, Come on...take a guess!Think about it...

(You're going to love this!)

And the moral is...

You can't kill two birds with one stone

I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. My students are really motivated by money, so I told them I would give $10 to anyone who could lick their elbows. Boy was it funny to see a group of 12 kids trying to lick their elbows. We had a good time!
