Yes, technically H is only 1/3 of a Humphrey, but that amount left little alliteration for the post's title, so I decided to round up. Consequently, I'd appreciate it if you would just keep this between us, and didn't report me to the International Bureau of Weights & Measures. In return for your discretion, I'll give you a DD hole.1
So, did I miss anything important?
1 Yes, I realize that, based on the chart above, a DD hole could refer to either something awesome or something really disgusting (or vice versa), but that's what you're getting. Deal with it.

I really like your take on this post. Parts of it had me rolling in laughter!
ReplyDeleteThirty dirty kisses! Love that one! this is one of the cleverest posts I've seen in a while. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteA very fine and educational post. By the way, III also = 1 exclamation.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Very funny!

damyanti: Was there actual rolling involved? (Don't worry, I won't report you to the Hyperbole Infraction Committee as long as you don't say anything to the IBWM.)
ReplyDeleteli: Thanks! *bows* That may be my favorite conversion as well...
Bob: III, no es bueno. By Jove, you're right! Thanks for pointing that out.
Gregg: Thanks, clever and funny are two of the things I like being the most. (The other is "not at work.")
This had to be a time consuming post. Don't know how you did it. I'd need a couple bottles of vino, then hit the ZZZZZZZZs as I passed out head first on my desk alseep.
ReplyDeleteI like that HHH is a pro wrestler. Not everyone would know that.
ReplyDeleteStephen: Actually, my anagrammatic A post has taken the longest so far. And I must say, even when you're inebriated your head has great aim. I tend to fall asleep on the..........
ReplyDeleteBudd: Then perhaps you'd be surprised to learn I've only watched one wrestling event in my life: Wrestlemania IV. All my wrestling knowledge comes from video games.
YYY = 1 lament
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA love it
I have talked with Vince McMahon and he is sorry to have lost you as a wrestling fan and wants you to know that a lot has changed in 20 years and that you should give it another shot.
ReplyDeleteLynda: Wonderful! I live to entertain. (And to eat copious amounts of ice cream.)
ReplyDeleteBudd: I'm just glad his wife didn't win a senate seat here in my home state of CT. You know what, if the WWE promised Linda would get hit by a chair every week, I'd tune in every time. It could look something like this.
fun - fun - fun
