Allyuh eh kno females always right?

Ah once noticed at de local humane society dat all de cats up fuh adoption have ah piece ah dey ear snipped off - some on de left an some on de right. Ah aks why. Dey tell mih dey does do dat after dey spay or neuter de cat so dey could tell by jess looking at de ears de sex ah de cat. So, since females always right. . . dey does snip de right ear on de female cats an de left ear on de males.

So wot dat have tuh do wid de price ah oriental lamb?

Well, Muslim_Chick from de start say "oriental lamb" . . . she eh say lamb from the Orient. Den as yuh read she follow-up posts, is clear dat she torking about oriental tuh mean east . . . in de same way yuh use occidental tuh mean west.

Even when M_C used de term "orient" she wuz correck. The Orient Express ran from Paris tuh Istanbul. Why? Becuz Istanbul wuz, at one time, considered tuh be in de Orient . . . it wuz east of Paris . . . even de middle-east wuz once considered tuh be de Orient. Plus, dem ole time British colonists used tuh use de term Orient wen dey wuz torking about . . . guess where. . . yep - India.

Ah feeling tuh cook some oriental lamb now, oui. . .

[trinipepper]

Well boi Mailman,eef yuh right in all dat yuh say,dat make yuh ah female?Ah sure yuh wuzzen tryin tuh patronize we ladies.heehee
