This little piggy went wee, wee, wee...

Hold it.

According to Dickens, he was a very lively lad.

A post about jugs.

Which is not about what you might think.

The bat cost a dollar five cents, which is all in pennies, kept in a jug.

There are two solutions.

Fill the five-gallon. Pour three gallons into the other jug, Empty the three-gallon, and pour the remaining two gallons into the three. Fill the five-gallon again. Fill the three-gallon jug from the five. There are four gallons remaining in the five.

Working the other direction, fill the three-gallon jug. Empty it into the five-gallon jug. Fill the three-gallon again. Fill the five-gallon from the three. Empty the five-gallon container. Pour the one gallon from the three-gallon container into the five. Fill the three-gallon container, and then empty it into the five, making four gallons.

Ignore at your own risk.

Out of the mouths of babes...

come strained peas.

Ambushed.

When a man is most vulnerable.

That's why it's called toilet water.

Some older folks might say that Will ripped off Kiss Me Kate or Atomic Shakespeare.

The common touch is something that can't be forced.

"You must be a king."

Your permanent record.

Former drill instructor.

Drop and give me twenty.

Just say no.

You'll get a longer sentence.

Or you are standing on a plumber.

See a pin, pick it up.
All the day you'll have bloody fingers, unless you use the iScope.

Something wicked this way comes.

By the pricking of my thumbs. It's a pinched nerve.
No! It's Carnevil.

Or some other kind of evil.
Gluttony 2.1.
