Sorry in advance if this is a repeat!
Well, it's ... that's right, !
may just be the most functional word in the English language.
Consider:
You can get -faced, Be -out-of-luck, Or have for brains.
With a little effort, you can get your together, find a place for your , or be asked to or get off the pot.
You can smoke , buy , sell , lose , find , forget and tell others to eat.
Some people know their , while others can't tell the difference
between and shineola.
There are lucky s, dumbs, and crazy s. There is bull , horse , and chicken .
You can throw , sling , catch , shoot the , or duck when the hits the fan.
You can give a or serve on a shingle.
You can find yourself in deep or be happier than a pig in .
Some days are colder than , some days are hotter than ,
and some days are just plain ty.
Some music sounds like , things can look like , and there are times when you feel like .
You can have too much , not enough , the right , the wrong or a lot of weird .
You can carry , have a mountain of , or find yourself up creek without a paddle.
Sometimes everything you touch turns to and other times you fall in a bucket of and come out smelling like a rose.
When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language.
And remember, once you know your , you don't need to know anything else!!
You could pass this along, if you give a ; or not do so if you don't give a !
Well, , it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of . But, if you happened to catch a load of from some -head...........
Well, Happens!!! |

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.
It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier,
but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product
is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.
Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone
came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term
"Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.
Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. |
