Dibs!!!

I call dibs on talking about dibs!  But first, I want you all to imagine a situation:

There is a boy in class who is asked a question by his Econ teacher and this is what he says: "When I have to go to the bathroom really bad, I can't think straight at all!" (questioning look from teacher...)"and if you don't catch my drift, I REALLY have to go to the bathroom right now...." (blank stare from the teacher) "and if you still aren't picking up what i'm putting down, I have no idea what you are asking me"

Ok, now back to "Dibs".  Dibs is a funny word, kinda like jibs or gibs, (which everyone knows is short for giblet, but that is a whole nother conversation itself).  Where does dibs com from?  What does it mean?  Can you did anything you want?  Can you dib anyONE you want?!?!  Lets think of a purely hypothetical situation:
You and your roomies are at a ladies apartment talking to a friend, and her other roommates walk through the door.  All of your eyes quickly scan the new found feminines and all rest on a abnormally beautiful girl on the left.  Instantly in your mind you yell "DIBS!!!!!".  And when you get out of the apartment you all yell out that you are calling dibs on her (remember, this is strictly hypothetical and would never happen in real life... at least not among men.  I don't know about those women folk though).  The group begins heated debate and the excitement rises.  But what is all this fuss about?  What the heck is "DIBS"?! Are you trying to say that you are the only one who can think about her now?  Or talk to her?  Or are you saying you are the only one who can try dating her?  (If the latter is the case, you better get to it and stop being a pansy)  But back to what I was saying, does that even work?  Can you dibs a person like that?  How would that make that girl feel?  And the answer is... I have no idea what a girl would think!  But i do know what I think!  And that is "HECK YEAH"  you can dibs me all you want!  And if you don;t say it first, fight for it!  Natural Selection I believe you call it.  Let me be the topic of your discussions!  I won't get mad!

But when I stop and think about it... I dunno if that is the best way...  Maybe I should start making some dibs guidelines.  If this overwhelming desire to have an object or maybe the front seat all to yourself really means that much to you, go ahead and dib that item or place. (then go learn about sharing you jerk!)  But if it has to do with people, I say, whoever is the least chicken and takes the first crack at it should get dibs.  Otherwise you are gonna get that one roommate who will call dibs and threaten fire and brimstone to all who dare defy them, but then they won't even talk to the person.  Now I understand as an apartment or group you might decide that blitzing is just too much for you all to handle so you might instigate a 1 day or one week (like 1 apple/mississippi 2 apple.....) and then call it a free for all and that is ok.  But all that I have been really trying to say this whole post... Is that I really gotta go to the bathroom and have NO idea what I just posted so.......

Good luck!
