In summary, maturity is the ability to rise above petty'ness' and fickle arguments and the ability to see a problem in perspective, but not too much perspective, or you'll end up realising that we are a tiny planet in a tiny solar system in a possibly bigger galaxy, in, depending on what you believe one of many universes... you then realise that nothing matters...

Oh grow up! Saying "t*ts" isn't big, and it isn't clever. Nobody is impressed with this kind of banter. Now if you were to say "jugs" a few times and swap the letters around a bit, that's an entirely different matter. Women will find you attractive and men will respect you. You may even find yourself in line for a Nobel prize, who knows?

All these years and you're still sore about us pointing at you and saying "ooooooooouuuuuhhhhh." Boy, you sure hold a grudge. :tongue2:

You know you're mature when you find yourself rolling your eyes at people and muttering, "Oh, grow up." :rolleyes: :tongue:
