Funny and unusual things heard this week

While sitting in lunchroom at work the other day, I had overheard four female co-workers discussing body types of the perfect man. Mind you, I was the only other person in the room with these four women, and they were not exactly whispering. I would have to admit some of the comments were pretty funny.

The conversation began with all four of them expressing their extreme disgust at steroid-taking body builders. One of the more vocal women stated "Those over-muscular guys are eeeewww gross..." Another chimed in with " I don't like a swimmers' build either. They have a weird v-shape with broad shoulders, no butt and very short legs."

All of these women also came to the conclusion that they do not like real tall guys, and prefer the average medium-build, slightly toned man, maybe just a little taller than them, or possibly the same height. Not too fat and not too skinny. All four also made it very clear of their distaste towards "bony guys."

The pinnacle of the whole conversation was at the end when one of the ladies stated that she liked men in the shape of a rectangle; The same at the top and bottom."

I'm sure their Geometry professors would have been proud.

The funniest thing I heard this week was the story of my 10-year-old cousin and the new hand-held video recorder he received for Christmas. His parents just recently had new bamboo flooring installed in the kitchen and formal dining area, separated by new marble tile in the entry way. In admiration of this new flooring, my cousin wanted to include it in his first video.

While videotaping the recorded "introduction" to his home, he had referred to the beautiful new "baboon flooring" and "marbles" tile in the entry way.

I hope Peta doesn't get a hold of this video!
