Yawn.........

[LixyChick]

/me opening mouth wide and stretching (to the best of my ability with this cast on)...passing it on..........






Do you find yawning contagious? There's a new commercial out from ®Pepsi Max and everyone in it passes the yawn on and I'm overcome. So I yawn everytime I see it even if I'm trying to flick through the channels or get out of the room before it gets me!

What else gets you? Did you yawn as you read the topic or opened the thread? Just curious!

:rofl: Yep, I did catch myself yawning while reading it. :p

This will probably sound stupid but I've noticed over the years that I have a tendency to start using an accent if I'm around people who have one. Usually Texans for some reason. :shrug:

[LixyChick]

I do the accent thing too! Specially if I'm drinking! LOL!

[Mercury_Maniac]

you be careful when you open your mouth wide around me ;)

[LixyChick]

*opens wider*

I worked in a clean room for a while that had a big window on one side the boss would come up to the window about 2;30 - 3;00am and start yawning and streching by 3;15 he had 20 people yawning ! Thought it was a great way to pass the time!

I yawn so easily. I often chat with someone on the phone around the same time of day and they have commented on how I relax and start yawning non-stop.

I yawn often too, and the power of suggestion works on me. :)

[Oldfart]

Just the suggestion of a yawn and I'm gone.

With me it's not accents I pick up, but the cadence people speak with.

It used to be embarassing doing Customs stuff on ships crewed with Indians or Russians. At the end of the sessions they weren't sure if I was lampooning them or not.

LOL.. I yawned reading this.

<yawn> I gotta get outa here... <yawn>

[LixyChick]

OMG...Those ^^^ stats are weird to me!

My yawns last longer than 6 seconds (least they seem too).

I think they should reregister those heart rates. Mine slows despite the oxygen increase (which is the basis for a yawn). But hey...I've always been bass akwards!

5 MINUTES? Um...try 2 seconds!

I ain't blind but if I hear a yawn out of my view...I'm in!

Was testing the theory about reading with this thread.

Hmmmmm...wonder why the olympiads do it? Oxygen consumption?

[dicksbro]

Yawns, accents. Yep, guilty on both counts. Also, picking up and using little expressions you hear people around you using. When I was in college, "This is true," became a favorite expression.

But hey...I've always been bass akwards!
Ok, just bring that bass akwards towards me...steady, steady, that's it...contact!

[LixyChick]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[dicksbro]

That's no fair, Scotz has all the fun. :(

[Sharni]

Yawns are bloody contagious!

[Oldfart]

Just the thought is (yawn) enough.

[Salacious]

Yes, I did.
