Achilles is right...it kills your running speed. <g,d,r>

I'd probably catch you now, I'm back up to more than half top speed. :)

... Isn't "Half Duplex" just an apartment?

Especially if it's under 1000 square feet...or is that a dollhouse??

Maybe a bedsit. :) Lived in something like that for a while, just had a tiny bedroom and a kitchen, but it was comfortable. :)

Nowadays, for me, it's like the meme of the "Friday Night Races At
The Senior Citizens Center". It has 2 old men (apparently without their dentures) racing each other with their walkers. Well, one of the old men
got extra "poo-pulsion" from a big fart, that sent him across the Finish
Line first. <G>

I would hope a bathroom (at least a toilet and a sink) was available.

I wonder if they'd go after limberger (sp?)??

Hahaha, yeah I was doing better than that when I was at my worst. :D

No, the toilet was out the back, but there was a shower and a sink inside. :)

Tony,

I wonder if they were taking bets on "win, place, and show"?? <G>

I saw a square dance group do a "horse race" at a festival in 2019. They
had rigged up these brooms to look like horses manes. There were different colors, similar to the numbers, colored cloths, etc. for each horse in a
real race. Next there was an area of squares placed on the floor, with taped off sections like hopscotch boxes. To top it off, there were 2 sets of big dice...one for each color (6 of them), and one for the numbers 1 through 6.
I think there was a total of 15 or 20 boxes, so it wasn't over in an instant.

Before the "race" people would buy a certain number of tickets to "wager"
on the horse, and whether they thought the horse would win, place, or show.
It made quite a bit of money for the organization.

Well, we get the horses and jockeys (male and female <G>) at the starting gate...and, everyone else is on the side, cheering, laughing, and making smart-@$$ remarks ("who's going out to pasture now??!!) <G>. The dice are rolled, telling which "horse can move", and how many spaces. The game kept going until the top 3 horses had finished (win, place, and show).

No, the toilet was out the back, but there was a shower and a sink
inside. :)

Reminds me of the meme, where the old boy is building an outhouse for two... with HIS and HERS...the wife's "hole" is much bigger. The caption notes "He never knew what hit him". <G>

... Swallowing your pride seldom leads to indigestion.

They gag on salted crow and humble pie...because they get the "Fonzie" disease. Their philosophy is either "I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken"...or "I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong". :P
