Nothing

Because if it were something it wouldn't be recorded here.

Maybe we need a something topic.

Looks like you guys have nothing better to do with your time. Here's a wee game you should try. Ask a friend round to your place. Drink a bottle of whisky each. Then, one of you leave the room and knock on the door. The other one has to guess who it is.

That's assuming that the one who leaves remembers to come back in.
On the other hand, if the one who stayed behind gets confused he could answer the door and then he would know which one had left.
Unless, of course, the one who left forgot to remember to knock, in which case the one who stayed wouldn't have a door knock to answer, but if he did he would probably find his friend standing by the door trying to remember whether to knock or not, and then he could ask his friend which one of them had left. If he couldn't remember then they should down another couple of bottles of Scotch, and see if they remember to leave again. If, at that stage they both leave, then there will be no-one to open the door when they knock, so they'll both be locked out.

And you wonder why I drink?!

Well, Archie, I reckon it must be 3:30 a.m. now where you are. Did you forget to go to bed ? Or maybe you did that trick of going round and knocking on the front door, but forgot that you were alone, so there was no-one left inside the house to let you back in, and now you're locked out.
On second thoughts, you would have to have your computer with you in order to post, so you must have a laptop or a very long extension cord.
It's kind of like the Good Ship Venus... once round the deck, twice round his neck, and up his bum as a stopper.

My last post was around 12:56 am. The missus can be on for hours before I get the chance.

The First Mate's name was Carter.
By God, he was a farter.
When the ship was slow,
And the wind wouldn't blow,
They got Carter the farter to start her.

"What has that got to do with 'nothing'?" you might add. And my response would be...
"NOTHING"

Why is it......., if you put nothing on, and then take nothing off, that you're still wearing nothing?

...because that's just the naked truth and nothing can change it.

If I put nothing on, and take nothing off, then I'm still wearing what I was wearing before I put nothing on...

...in my case, a wet suit and goggles, cowboy boots and a string of pearls.

Aye, aye, matey.......and when he sat down to play his Carter Starter, he got sounds like Nothing I've ever heard before.

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 12 Aug 2009 6:49 am

That's to be expected. When I sit down to play my Carter Starter I produce sounds like nothing ever heard before. For that very reason I recently fitted it with an Emmons pickup and Emmons pedals, which I moved three inches to the right, and I'm going to be moving and changing the knee levers, and covering up that awful Formica. There has to be some use for it. It's been in its case for about five years. Without going off-topic, the value I get out of the Carter Starter is....
NOTHING.

If there was a TV show called "Nothing", would everyone turn off their sets that night because "nothing's on"?

If no one watched the show, would that mean that it wasn't on? (Like the tree that falls in the forest with no one there to hear it.)

If Dolly Parton watched it, would she have nothing on her set?

Talking about nothing, the Mother Superior of a convent asked two of her nuns to repaint the cafeteria. "It's gotten very dingy," she said, "see what you can do with that leftover paint in the crypt, but make sure you don't splash it on your surplices, because we can't afford new clothing."

So the nuns got to work. To ensure that they wouldn't splash paint they took off their habits, locked the door, and painted naked.

After a couple of hours there was a knock on the door. "Who is there," asked one of the nuns. "Blind man," came the response. So they opened the door. The surprised man took one look at them and diplomatically asked, "Where do you want the blinds installed, sisters ?"

Thats about what Carter's have been going for. You guessed it Alan
