You know who I’m talking to.
Bricks are fairly permeable aren't they? You'd never buy a toilet made ouf of them because of this.

It therefore stands to reason that "as permeable as a toilet" would be a better idiom for the circumstances.

This comment has been today's best peice of philosophy on PN.

Must be me. Fortunately I am not my brain.
Then which part of your anatomy are you?
Your vagina.

Please, wash me once in a while.

Noted and flagged. Poster very frequently talks about bazookas, hand grenades of various colors (with a preference for orange) and now shotguns. Also shows signs of complete disdain for authority and government of any form.

I'm OK with that as long as you don't get any Federal or State funding. County is fine.

Copter rides are privately funded, and free to the customer.

I thought it meant you flew very fast and diligently to bring guests home in time for other appointments. That certainly changes my "charitable" comment.
