I used to reply, "No worries, I had to get up to answer the phone anyway."
How come "you're a peach" is a complement but "you're bananas" is an insult?
When daylight savings comes into Britain how do they reset Stonehenge?
Having witnessed the quartermaster setting the Zulu-time clocks to Daylight Savings more than three times, i cannot say this is a stupid question.When daylight savings comes into Britain how do they reset Stonehenge?
I thought it was because they were linking up all over the country.
... or maybe because "everyone can take a ride."
Haha, they actually do that in Las Vegas. I once spent the night in a $30 room... that charged a $75 "Amenities Fee".

For three weeks I've been wondering what amenities you failed to take advantage of.
Care to share?

If I knew that, I wouldn't have been so annoyed. The real kicker was that in addition to the "amenities", they also has an additional recreation fee if you wanted to go up their tower (this was the Stratosphere in it's pre "The Strat" days) and even more fees if you wanted to go on the rides that are up there. Likewise the casino is a place one spends money, not where one is credited it. So the amenities did not, apparently, include any of the obvious entertainment features of their facility. Suffice it to say if there was supposed to be a free rent boy, he clearly failed to show, but given as I was there with my not-very-adventurous new wife, perhaps that is for the best.
Full disclosure: I have never liked the Strip to begin with, and was only staying there because it seemingly the cheapest room still available for hundreds of miles at the late hour when I needed it. I'm probably not the right personality to really enjoy the festivities in the spirit with which they are intended, haha.Though, more in the vein of a joke thread, there was this one time when I found myself sharing a booth at a Nevada steakhouse with a anglican minister, a rabbi, and a geologist. We all got hammered.

1) The Stratosphere is not part of the strip.
2) You fell into the trap those amenity fees are for--you picked the cheapest room without looking at the actual cost. If the Democrats get the senate maybe something can be done about it.

I was only twenty-one.
And I contest your definition of "The Strip". I'm more of a functionalist than a structuralist.
Moped - n.
A small motorcycle, particularly one with pedals as well as an engine.
"After his wife left him, Joe just moped around the house"
I went Chopin earlier but I forgot my Liszt...I guess I'll go Bach later.
My dog's 2 favourite composers are Bach and Offenbach.
How do you make a dead baby float?
With lemonade. And two scoops.
