[lace-chat] hats on backwards
dear listers this an excerpt from jeans message Fine for the back-catcher (whatever that is) and the bird-watcher, a back catcher refers to the game of baseball and the catcher who stands behind the batter to catch the ball that the pitcher throws wears his hat backwards and then puts on his face mask so he doesn't get hit with the ball if this doesn't answer the question please ask again yours in lace Dearl Christiansburg, Virginia, USA My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

[lace-chat] Insurance claim
I don't know if Gerrard Hoffnung actually wrote it, but there's been a recording of it, with the audience in fits of laughter, around for years. I first heard it in the early 70s when my husband was given the recording by his university as an example of potential and kinetic energy when he was doing his engineering degree, but I think it was around before that.

[lace-chat] :-) Latex gloves
Subject: How Latex Gloves Are Made A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his latex gloves. Do you know how they make these gloves? he asked. No, I don't, she replied. Well, he spoofed, there's a building in Mexico with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size. She didn't crack a smile. Oh, well. I tried, he thought. But five minutes later, during the procedure she burst out laughing. What's so funny? he asked. I was just envisioning how condoms are made!

What about the verb to hang, which has got 2 past tenses hanged and hung, which mean different things? The original English was to hang, hung(past), hung(past participle). When did we start using hanged? Is it another American usage [...] I've always used hang, hung, hung myself, but someone mentioned hang and its vagaries in a (private) message to me, so I checked my OED... According to it, it's the *hanged* (regular) past tense version that's arachaic (ie, older)... With *one exception*: that of hanged by the neck (which is what my correspondent was referring to) -- still the preferred version, though the method of execution no longer exists in England. S... It looks like *this* time, it's the *Americans* who'd hung on to the pure original, while the *Brits* did a bit of retro-refit (like the US dove for the past of dive) I see that I'll have to re-read some historical mysteries by modern wrtiters to check what they'd put into the Victorian judges' mouths :) - Tamara P Duvall mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
