Acts of Volition

Why, I think I might, Steve!
<P><P>I seem to have a horrible curse for being misinterpreted when I speak. Leading me to be a quiet person unless I know the people I'm talking with don't assume I'm some kind of pervert.<P><P>This being said, I thought I would wear my 'Chicks Dig Unix' shirt to high school. Now. I was approached by a fellow anonymous schoolmate, she stopped, looked at my shirt puzzled, thought about it for a minute, then looked back at me with a disgusted look on her face and said something to the extent of, "Your shirt is disgusting, and spelled wrong" and walked off.<P><P>I looked at my shirt puzzled, and then realized she must have thought it ment "Chicks Dig Eunuchs".<P><P>Curse this curse! I once asked somebody, "What's up?", and they said, "You're sick, Rob".<P><P>Now that I think about it, most people to whom I mention this website will say, "Gross", then I say, "Volition, not Violation" and they say, "Ahh", but still seem to suspect a porn connection (possibly because they don't know what it means?).<P><P>This even happens in ICQ which puzzles me because I always type <i>volition</i> carefully. We totally should have named this site Dogs and Cats.<P><P>I almost never use the expression "Did you have a hard time" anymore. I actually got smacked once for saying that.

I respectfully choose not to mention the Irish Sandwich as I think there are readers younger than 19.<P><P>In related news, when I was in Montréal last weekend, I enjoyed a carton of Québon Chicken-Milk to your health.<P><P><blockquote class="smalltext">(if I could find Jevon's comment on inside jokes in AOV replies, I'd link to it.)</blockquote>

Correct me if I'm wrong, Burkas, but isn't "Root" is a slang term for a female specific body part in the lands down under? I seem to recall an amusing conversation about Canadians wearing 'Roots' sweatshirts down there.<P><P>I'm not falling for <i>that</i> one.
