giving you stomach a few minutes to settle down after eating probably keeps you from doing a sommersault or accidently ingesting chlorine water and throwing your lunch up in the pool.


That wives tale comes from getting stomach cramps during exercise after eating.

From the military (or AF in my case):

1. Either Bunny (this may be true?)

2. Girl sends deployed husband a video of her ____ some random dude's (Jody) pecker, as the camera zooms back he can see it's his wife and as Jody nuts on her face she says, "I want a divorce." I've met a dozen dudes who swore it happened on their deployment (this before the scene made it in a movie. There are many variations, in most the video was watched in a group setting.

In military jargon, Jody is the guy who steals your woman when you're gone.

I've seen Cajun women cutting a cucumber in half, then they rub the ends together to remove "the bitterness". Taste tests prove this has zero affect.

Brothers named Orangejello and Lemonjello. (Pronounced Oranjalo and Lemonjalo)

New mother is distraught because the hospital named her baby before they brought it to her. She pronounced it "Fuhmolly" (The newborn was female).

Cocaine really can cause heart issues if not used in moderation. Was not a wives tale or urban legend.
