Calling menstruation "Aunt Flo."

Just stop it, will you please?

Having the painters in?

The Communists have attacked?

Riding the cotton pony?

My daughter says she's a werewolf. :)

Ok, attacked by Commies is pretty funny.

I think of all the female Amberites calling it "aunt Flora".

So, after getting me to spend much of the day reading up on splanchology, you move on to talking about menstruation? I like women, I like women's pelvises, I like all the bits and pieces and everything going on all up in there, but there does come an overload point, when I gotta say, hey, I just don't wanna talk about sloughing vascularized endometrial tissue any more.

Oh, who am I kidding?

The thing that gets me, that always gets me about menstruation, is the guys who invented the pill back in the fifties, who put in the placebo week without, evidently, ever talking to a single woman, who put it in on the theory that women would freak the fuck out if they didn't have their period.

But, yeah, that kind of "witty" euphemism is irritating. As usual, the Onion knows the score. The only witty euphemism is one that nobody's heard before. "Time for another Life on Mars marathon"; "cleaning out the baby carriage"; "Moses drowning the Egyptians"; "more like two semi-colons and an ampersand"; "a visit from Sir Percy Blakeney".

Yeah, OK. Not all the way witty. Just half.

Naturally, it's the punctuation joke that gets the laugh out of me. I'm so predictable.

I totally don't understand the funny here, and several others have been unable to explain it to me.

Care to assist the punctuationally challenged?

Gotta ask... so there are ONLY 330087 things that bug you so far?

She didn't say this was the last entry on the list. Just the card on the rolodex at the moment.
