Today's word is Manhole

Example: Id hate to go into a manhole, there's probably poop down there and Im sure it would stink.

WTF were they thinking when they came up with that? I mean "Manhole"... how gross!

 

[LordOpie]

there's a strip club here called Womanhole

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Would a Chief Ball Fondler be a manhandler?

 

[Lexx D]

If shirley fell down the manhole would you help him out or cover it back up?

[chicodude]

You know what else is a wierd word?




Manometer

The real question is...

Why are manhole covers round?

 

[Lexx D]

Alba?

Yes that is correct sir

 

[Skookum]

Y'know you're right they should rename it to something "inert" like goatse....

Any other shape could be turned and dropped into the uh mans hole.

Yep - a round lid is the only shape that can't be turned "diagonally" to fit though through it's hole.

Well an equalateral triangle shaped manhole cover would not drop all the way through, but it could be jammed in such a way that it would still stay mainly above the hole but not properly cover the hole.

today's weird word is:

cockpit

ah, yeah...who the hell (other than loco) would want to sit somewhere called a cockpit?

[BurlyShirley]

Yeah, Im sure what you just said was real interesting...

This message is hidden because loco is on your ignore list.

 

[JRB]

And I even used the wrong word just for him.

 

[BurlyShirley]

yeah, good one I bet...

 

[Ciaran]

Yeah, Im sure what you just said was real interesting...

It was... simple yet eloquent. A classic comeback that much like a simple black suit never goes out of style.

I still don't get this; never have.

A circle would fall through its own hole, save for the lip that seats the cover in place, right? Why doesn't this work for a square, too? The lip would prevent a square cover-since the outer measurement of the cover is larger than the inner measurement of the square-from falling through, even if it was turned diagonally. Its diagonal measurement is longer than any of the sides...

Someone blocks Loco's posts??

That would be like having a BLT with no bacon..........

You don't do too well with those three dimensional mental rotations, do you? Make one up from cardboard, you'll figure it out.

The lip on a square manhole cover would have to be about 20.5% of the width of the cover. The circular manhole cover only has to have what could be described as an infinitesimally small lip, depending on the manufacturing accuracies of the cover of course. neaky:

I think BS in on the dope. The only time people start thinking about how weird words sound is when they are smoking the weed.

[narlus]

i was thinking of starting a string of franchises nationwide, which are gay clubs. they would be named Cockpit and Manhole, w/ the appropriate decor.

can you hear the millions rolling in? who's got some $ to get this going?

 

[Ciaran]

There is this steakhouse close by my place that sounds like it would be a gay club. It's not but it sounds like it would be. It's called "The Tenderloin".

Because manholes are round.
