    My Dear Watson,

    I would like to know when the word "lake" has anything to do with the salt content of the water? Did you ever hear of the Great Salt Lake?

    Don't forget the acronym "POS!"

    POS is a construction term, I think; it means : not very good.

    For example: "Look at those POS split fins!"

    rotff!

    So why don't you tell us how you really feel about split fins and stop being so cryptic!

    Default Use of acronyms

    Many years ago a physics teacher was explaining something to a class. When he got to the final step in the process he said something to the effect of; " and there you have it, QED"
    Those of us who had limited classical training or possibly hadn't really been paying attention just stared blankly back at him.

    "QED" he said, "from the latin, quod erat demonstradum" our response was a continued blank stare. He explained that it really means the rest is pretty obvious just think of it as "quite easily done". Ah! No problem Sir, we've got it!

    Next problem is being worked through and the teacher asked one of the class to run through his answer. He starts off, gets a little stuck, fumbles a couple of times and then proudly states his answer with the comment "... and there you have it, POP". The teacher looks a little perplexed and asks "POP?"

    The young lad replies;
    "from the English Sir, Piece of Piss!"

    You learned about CESA (Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent) in your O/W class.
    After diving for awhile with Insta-Budies, you learn about PESA from them.
    Which is the Panicked Emergency Swimming Ascent.

    What a schmuck.

    Of course if one of us had done that, we would most likely be in jail, even if it was only an "accident". However I think the only accident here was allowing that old fart to have a gun instead of a new walker with fresh tennis balls.
