Pavlov's Dog

[threebikesmcginty]

We've just changed our Kitchen and everything's in a different place.

How long am I going to keep going over there for the bloody tea bags when they're now kept over there?..........for Christ's sake!!!!!!

That's not Pavlovian - that's just habit. Pavlovian is a conditioned reflex like when you salivate at the smell of food or get an erection at the sound of stockings being pulled on and elastic snapping.

You may be part Korean if you have dog in the kitchen

I was in Khartoum a couple of weeks ago and my customer there, Yassir, told me the place used to be plagued with stray dogs until the Koreans arrived in town.

Made me laugh like hell at the time.

I moved a lightswitch in the bedroom a couple of years ago and I still walk in and start feeling the wall where it used to be.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

were you in the kitchen of khartoum?

We've just got a new car, which has a sixth gear where reverse was on the old car! Two or three times already I've put in into sixth and my wife has pointed it out before I let the clutch out, but it is going to get me.

Could be worse. Could put it into reverse instead of sixth! ;0)

 

[alecstilleyedye]

and when you next drive a 5 speed, you'll be crunching the reverse…

We keep the Pavlovs in the freezer.

What if you salivate at the sound of stockings being pulled on, or get a stiffy when you smell your wife's dumplings?

Finish the second line:

"Hey, when you call my name, I salivate like a Pavlov's dog."

"Hey, when you call me up......."

"Hey, when you call me up......."

I try to shag the cushions

If you really want to confuse yourself in a kitchen, swap the fridge door over to open the other way. They've just done this in the kitchen at work, and my Mum did it when the hinge one side started to sag. Because I'm not at her house all the time, it took ages to get used to it. And then she got a new fridge, and it started all over again, back the first way!

....... swap the fridge door over to open the other way.

Good Grief ! I didn't even know it was possible to do such a thing.

Good Grief ! I didn't even know it was possible to do such a thing.

Oh yes, it is. Mostly it's done when space is tight, and it makes it easier to get past or open the door without taking up too much space.

The door only hangs on a sort of axle pivot, top and bottom, and the holes to locate it are usually duplicated on each side. Door off, turn it the other way up, back on the other side.

And then try and open it the wrong way for about a year.
