Caulk--What do you think about the word caulk?

[Tigger&Belle]

I think it's a funny word. Don't really know why I think that, but my DH recaulked the kitchen counters when I was at WDW. He even used the right stuff this time and did a nice job. He was pointing it out to me yesterday (he'd already shown it to me a couple times, but you know, he was proud) and I said aloud, "Caulk, caulk, I like the word caulk". My 12yo looked at me funny and said, as only a 12yo boy can say it, "MOM". Didn't know why my silliness saying the word bothered him, until I realized that he thought I was saying a different word, um, for the male anatomy. I must have turned a few shades of red, and I stammered, explaining to him that I didn't mean that! Of course he thought that was pretty funny.

You have to know that this is the child who goes into Dick's Sporting Goods store and asks me, in a loud voice, if he can get balls since he doesn't have any at home. That time I was embarrassed!

So, what do you think about the word caulk? Any words that you especially like the sound of?

I think farts, (can I say that on the DIS?), are just about the funniest thing in this entire world. Well, someone walking into a wall thinking it's a door is equally as funny.

Awhile ago on Disboards, there was a thread all about people and their fart stories and it had me in hysterics for days. It was, hands down, the funniest thread I've ever read.

...Dick's Sporting Goods...

That's pretty funny right there! How can anyone see that store and not think, well, you know.

Personally I get a kick out of: hooligans, half-wit, senseless, and kumquats

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Farting in public isn't so bad as long as you have a young child with you who is still possibly in diapers. You can grab them and peek in their diaper, acting like they have a dirty diaper. I think that maybe I've done that....

I'm the silent, but deadly farter. Worst kind because you don't know what hit you! My DH drives me crazy since he feels the need to bend over a little and let it escape. I mean, it will come out in it's own sweet time--why help it out? He would kill me if he knew I were posting this!

Especially 12yo boys (or their mothers...)!

As soon as I read the title of this thread, I got the giggles!

Over twenty years ago the editor of my FIL's small town community newspaper wrote a story about a company that did home repairs. The caption on the front page read, "____________, owner of ___________ is seen cocking the windows."

Our entire office was in shock the day that issue came back from press. The editor was a woman in her 50s - she got all hostile and said, "How was I supposed to know how to spell 'caulk'. "

Ummm.... I dunno, lady, maybe a dictionary...... Maybe ask one of us to proofread your story.....

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Pam, I am ! How very funny--I'm sure you laugh whenever you see that word! I can just picture him cocking the windows. Either they were mighty small windows or he had a mighty large... Nevermind

This was the same editor who had a caption about someone winning a Dairy Queen t-shirt in a promotion..... only when she typed the caption she left out the "r" in shirt..... we got a phone call from a little old lady at the retirement home down the street - the poor dear was mortified at the blunder. She wanted us to go and pick up all 22,000 copies of the paper and take a black magic marker and conceal the naughty word!

Me thinks this thread is heading into dangerous territory.

One time, my friend said "Lets go to Dicks and play with the thingys!" She meant the exercise machines, but we haven't let her forget it

I couldn't resist! I'm just in one of those moods this week!

The time my 12yo asked for balls at Dick's he really hadn't meant to say it. He'd been joking before going into the store about the very topic, but I know he is too shy to actually say what he'd joked about. Which of course made it funnier.

It was funny when I went to home depot with my nephew and he asked about all the different kinds of caulk they have there. He kept asking about different colors and if the black caulk came in a bigger tube. The girl helping us was about to die from embarrassment. I pretended he was "challenged" so I wouldnt feel like such a heal.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I can't believe he had the nerve to do that! The poor salesgirl--I bet she was ready to die. When at WDW recently my 18yo DD and I kept walking past the little stands that sell the roasted nuts. We kept thinking about all the things we could go up and ask the guy working there (what kind of nuts do you have, etc, etc), but there is no way in the world I would have had the guts to do that. Maybe my sister would have. She's even older than I am (by quite a bit--I joke and tell her that I know she's really my mother...) and I can't believe the things that she says. She has the nerve to say what I can only think (or type on the DIS).

Me thinks this thread is heading into dangerous territory.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that it would?


Ok, here is my contrubtion.

My friends son was working on potty training. They had a chart and if he went poop in the potty he could get a toy (they were pretty desperate.)

So anyway they went in the Disney store and he picked out a Toy story toy, a big Woody doll.

Then the told the CM there, that he went poopy in the potty and now he had a Woody. His parents about died.

This thread reminds me of an SNL skit a couple months ago. They were doing a home improvement show and the episode was all about caulk. It was hysterical.

I googled it to see if I could find a clip. Here's a link:

Dick's Sporting Goods is a horrible name for the store, we have one here as well. At Christmas, I was looking for a trampoline for my DD and I wanted to call Dick's to check a price. I googled Dick's Sporting Goods, and along with the store, a lot of other lovely websites came up. Ewwwwwwww.

I also hate that superstore called BJ's (like a Sam's or a Costco). I can't even go there anymore and I hate having my face on a member card to a place called BJ's. It just seems weird

Reminds me of when my friends son loved Toy Story and got a Woody (doll ) for Christmas. When he unwrapped it they had the video camera rolling and captured him exclaim, "Look, I got a big Woody!". Too funny.

No way would I google Dicks Sporting Goods! There are lots of things that I'm scared to google for that very reason.

Yeah, BJ's always made me snicker, too. What a snarky name! (I can say that now that Disney PhD showed up!).

Now that my DH is out of the room I'll check out the SNL link.
