...I have absolutely no idea of what the significance behind that is.
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.

I'll take it down now, as poppies arn't worn after the 11th. As I said, I should have started using this sig about a week before....

...I have absolutely no idea of what the significance behind that is.

It's to honour all the military servicemen that died fighting for Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations, particularly the two world wars.

Today is also Veterans Day in the US.

...ah. I couldn't tell that was a poppy. >_>
