I would want a genetic engineer to do something to the plants so they’re not encouraging bees to come around.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

Who doesn’t feel phantom vibrations from their mobile phones?

It’s the ghosts of all of your old trashed phones haunting you.

Since sound moves much faster through solids than gasses, so for someone who has to be very precisely in-time with music, her method may actually be more effective.

The phantom vibrations are probably due to some people constantly expecting telemarketing and spam calls.

Please someone tell me why the plural of spice is a banned word.

I’m confused. where is the list?

Type spice(s).

Regarding the plants, bees and nectar: I choose the “or not” option.

Similarly, snakes are deaf, and never hear the music played by snake charmers. They do feel vibrations.

With all the sound and vibration topics, I’m surprised they didn’t work in a story about tintinnabulation on 10/10…

so you could play a joke on lin ching lan by putting 100 vibrators turned on under the floor?

Let’s not vilify what we don’t understand. ~ Phantom Schwartz, heck of a guy and stuff

Take care, may practicing but not employable flamenco dancer Mateo “I Stomp And Sweat And Get Cramp In Upper Back But Go On In Pain For The Ladies” Castellanord be with you, and gesundheit.

Many of you have no idea how hard it is to find a good clean joke.

A crying man walks slowly along the frontier. He finds a deep hole with a bucket beside it, and lowers the bucket in to pull out some water.

While he’s having a drink, a quivering voice comes from the hole.“What’s the matter friend?”

The man, surprised, wipes his eyes and replies, “My brother Harvey and I moved out here to find a unique piece of land to call our own, but all the land out here is so common. Anything unusual has already been claimed. Then on top of that, Harvey fell off a cliff this morning and died, and I think it was my fault.”

“Hmm,” the voice replied, “Harvey says it was just an accident and not to worry about it.”

The man, amazed at the fact that the hole is communicating with his dead brother, feels his mood get better immediately.

“Why are you smiling?” the quivering voice asks.

The man thinks a minute then says, “I dunno. I came out here looking for a rare stake, but it turns out I’m pretty happy with one medium well.”

Reminds me of the story about the minute fortune teller who robbed a bank and disappeared. The post office wanted poster read: “Small medium at large”

My late loving wife and I had a Catahoula Leopard Dog who was deaf. We also had 2 Chihuahua’s, the Chihuahua’s figured out that if they would bark really loud if he was sleeping on the couch he could feel the vibrations and would wake up when someone was at the door. I would just stamp my foot on the floor so he could feel that.

When I was a young punk-rocker I went to a place called the Deaf Club, in San Francisco, literally a club for deaf youth. I wasn’t deaf—I went there for rock shows. To raise money they had small rock concerts there, mostly punk rock. The deaf kids came and danced because the amps were so loud they could feel the beat in the vibrations in the air and on the floor. We all had a great time.

A grasshopper walks into the bar and the bartender says:

“Hey! we have a drink named after you.”

And the grasshopper looks at the bartender and says confused:

“You have a drink named, Fred?”

“Your mother has been with us for 20 years,” said John. “Isn’t it time she got a place of her own?”

“My mother?” replied Helen. “I thought she was your mother."

Science links phantom vibrations, butt-dials, and passing gas — tonight on Channel Eleventy’s “News You Can Use and Abuse”!

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

Ouch! Now that hurt! I thought we were friends?

I suspected fallout from stepping into a sh*t stew but I like gil’s talk and unlike steve, with the sharp tang, comes off as a more contented jovial individual and would not want to see him go unless he chose to willingly, without a boot to the butt. You drop some good lines too, buddy, even when it is a slam against a joker.

I am so happy that I can see SteveSilver48 again. I hope everyone can.

Seems the GoComics support staff is on vacation today for Indigenous People’s Day (formerly Columbus Day).

“Phantom Vibration” should also refer to pretending you felt your phone vibrate, in order to get out of undesired meetings and conversations.

Evelyn Glennie is a deaf percussionist from Scotland. She also uses the vibrations of the floor when she is perdorming.
