It is so unfair that you do that, Sara Sasse.

The fact that Spongebob was mentioned prominently on that page squicks me out.

Well, it's a fig leaf. If that helps.

That's why I never turn over a new leaf, or an old leaf, or any leaf. That's where earwigs hang out.

In my experience, you don't have to "keep" earwigs. They pretty much just go where they want to go. Like Wolverine, only ickier.

"To turn over a new leaf" means to make a positive change in your life. To abandon a bad habit and start trying to do better where the habit was concerned.

Hmm. Sara, what I believe you are doing is simply putting a pile of new leaves over the old leaf. It makes me, even more, want to see that darn leaf!

Jonathan, you are not at all nonsensical. You are most straight-forward. [ January 08, 2005, 04:04 PM: Message edited by: Sara Sasse ]

I, too, am earwig-intolerant. That's why I don't play around with leaves.

While I'm quite sure that Sara harbors no earwigs or other icky-like creatures under her leaf I am equally sure that I've encountered young women that conceal licentiousness beneath theirs.[ January 08, 2005, 06:09 PM: Message edited by: punwit ]
