Pray to the white porcelain god

When we were on the Bay fishing several years back, my wife got seasick. Her stepdad referred to it as "Chumming the water."

(It worked, too, within a couple of minutes she reeled in the biggest flounder I've ever seen.)

My wife thinks a scarf is something we wear around a neck, I know that a scarf is a joint in wood.

My father said he was going to "shoot the cat" when he was about to throw up. I have no idea why, and now, nor does he, unfortunately.

Hope you feel better, Doc!

So is he saying he wants five fingers of Scotch or is he saying he shouldn't have had five fingers of Scotch? BTW I noticed no one seems to delineate between regurgitation and vomiting, not really the same thing. One's reusable....when my puppies vomit I get worried, when they regurgitate I ask them to "clean it up."

And you're just going to leave it at that and let us squirm until someone can't stand it any more and actually asks you to go on, aren't you. Okay, fine. Since I can't physically jab your ribs with my finger here, consider this my way of asking.
