*checks pockets*
*checks pockets again*
Darn. Where's that pig bladder when you need it?
*gets a pig bladder in his face by accident, and can finally sleep*
Hey, there's life on Mars...
*whumps frogapplause with a pig bladder*
I'm in the mood for a pig-bladder fight RIGHT NOW!
Twits with bells on their ankles
belt each other with pig bladders.
- Peter Reading, Almanac, from Nothing for Anyone, 1977
And since silence is golden...
I had a goldfish named Chad. After Tiffany brought her goldfish, Rebecca, over for a sleepover, we discovered the we had a pregnant Chad on our hands.
Chad was the son of a very famous, but strict, federal judge, known as hanging Chad.
Surely if silence can be pregnant, a goldfish can be too...
Ah, then the 'twit' is ironic. (points to self)
Goldfish lay eggs. They can't get pregnant.
I wonder at what point misinformation like this becomes 'fact'. After all, when it comes to names of things, we might ask "according to whom?"
It's not! Neither is prat, twat or twerp. It's a very common urban legend (I heard it when I was very small).
The name for a pregnant goldfish.
