By looking at the title of this post you may think I am about to talk matters of the butt. However this is a language post.
Have you ever had someone say "You don't do that" in which you reply "Yes I do. I do do that." I find myself saying this from time to time and my silly, adolecent mind can't help but chuckle over the term do do. Is it because as children we refered to any type of fecal matter using this term? Is it because when I tell my dogs to go crap I use the same term? Yes.
I try to come up with other ways to say that I do something. Ex. 'I perform that way' or 'I am guilty of that offence'. But saying I do do something makes me laugh. Are there other terms that have this same affliction? I can't think of any, and if there are I doubt that they have the conotation to taking a dump.
Anyway, that will finish off my weekend. I am off to Lubbock to see my HLM Thomas. If you read his latest post you might thing that the H in HLM stands for Homo. It does not. It is still Hetero as of the last time I checked.
I hope you do do have a good weekend.
That is all,
Newt

What about "duty"? That one always makes me laugh. I am so immature.
I think that anything in regards to poop is funny. That should always be a rule.
If you actually want to be able to stop saying "do do", and I don't know why you would want to, you could always just drop a "do" since having two isn't neccessary.
