A strain of mind-altering bacteria dat da government secretly spreads among da populous in a clandestine effort to hopefully cause them to make more shopping-trips.
Shortly after a serious of unusually-heavy airliner-released vapor-trails appeared over a populated area, many local residents reported feeling inexplicably desirous to head to Wally-world and stock up on da latest fashions and popular media-titles --- sounds like a classic buyohazard-distribution to me!

If da Little Red Hen had been baking potatoes instead of bread, her non-helpful colleague-animals would have glanced at their individual spudometer-readouts and found dat they all displayed da exact same humiliating/disappointing tally-figures:
"Number of spuds planted: 0
Number of spuds tended: 0
Number of spuds harvested: 0
Number of spuds prepared: 0
Number of spuds baked: 0"
And lastly, of course {{{drum roll}}} ---
"Number of baked spuds given me to eat: 0"
"Number of spuds planted: 0
Number of spuds tended: 0
Number of spuds harvested: 0
Number of spuds prepared: 0
Number of spuds baked: 0"
And lastly, of course {{{drum roll}}} ---
"Number of baked spuds given me to eat: 0"

A lengthy "weedy" (i.e., colorful but insipidly boring) message sent by flashing a mirror using Morse code.
Native Americans used smoke-signals and African natives in da jungle used drums to speak to each other over long distances, but these forms of communicating took quite a lot of effort and/or preparation, so generally they only used said methods for truly-important messages. Standing on a sunny hilltop and wobbling a mirror is comparatively easy, though, and so a lot of da messages conveyed therein tend to be nothing much except a lotta helio-trope.

"No matter where you stand, da breeze will invariably blow either towards you or in your face, causing you great difficulty in proceeding ahead and/or "cleanly"/effectively performing tasks dat involve/include vapors/particulates/liquids." (Think, Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke, or trying to bicycle someplace on a blustery day and da stiff wind keeps switching around so dat it's always hinderingly in your face --- never helpfully at your back --- both on your way to your destination AND on your way back home again!)
P.S. Oh yeah --- and don't even **consider** simply postponing outdoor activities till a "still spell" --- DAT will only mean multitudes of mosquitoes and black flies to torment you and make you WISH for a breeze!
P.S. Oh yeah --- and don't even **consider** simply postponing outdoor activities till a "still spell" --- DAT will only mean multitudes of mosquitoes and black flies to torment you and make you WISH for a breeze!
Two classic examples of da infuriating effects of Murphy's Law Of Wind-Direction would be (1) trying to water your hanging-basket plants on da front porch, but da watering-can's sprinkled droplets keep blowing backwards so dat da water both largely misses your plants and gets you soaking-wet, and (2) trying to employ toss-across collecting when gathering returnables along da highway, but having many of da thrown containers just blow right back onto your side of da road.

Refers to an act of ordinarily-frowned-upon nature, but which in extreme circumstances could be overlooked or even approved of. Comes from the nuns' surreptitiously ripping out the plug-wires and spark-coils from the Gestapo's cars so that they couldn't pursue the von Trapp family in "The Sound Of Music"; the emotionally-shaken-but-still-demure habit-clad heroines then ask their Mother Superior for forgiveness, which it can be assumed that she readily gives, considering the horrid fate that would likely have befallen the von Trapps had they been captured.
I needed a few additional nails to complete a super-urgent repair- project, but there was nobody at the hardware store, so I had to just take the nails without paying for them at the time. Again, though, the nailing-task had to be completed right away to avoid fairly horrendous consequences, so I felt that my action was really pretty much a Sisters of Mercy sin. Plus of course I did indeed "square up" promptly with the store afterwards, so the end-result was fine.

Da branch of science concerned wif da nature, effects, and detection of unwise and/or hostile verbal communication.
Riverdale High School chef Miss Beazley quit in a frenzied paroxysm of huffy indignation at Mr. Patton Howitzer's blatant verbal abuse towards her regarding her revolting/sub-standard cooking; she should recommend dat he have a talksicology study performed on him.

Something dat Jack's female water-fetching partner evidently lacked when traversing upwardly-inclined terrain, since she went sprawling at about da same time dat said male counterpart did.
In da alternate reefer-smokin' version of da popular nursery-rhyme, da hill-climbing duo suffered no injuries, but instead merely spaced out on weed and then had sex upon reaching da summit, so perhaps da vagina-possessing half of said outdoor-trekking pair had more ajillity than her original "innocent as milk" version.
