FUN: Shore report

Monday, September 7, 2009

Cloudy and overcast.

Damp. Maybe rain? But, I don’t think so.

Tourists will “evacuate”. Yeah! “I vant to be alone.” And, have it all to myself.

Clouds moving quickly to the east.

Maybe the sun will come out … … tomorrow!

ROFL!

From the Bristol Evening Post:

“Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach.

“On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant.

“The Council said, ‘That car park is your responsibility.’ The Zoo said, ‘The attendant was employed by the City Council…wasn’t he?’ The Council said, ‘What attendant?’

“Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years…!

“Total sum just short £2.9 million.”

FUN: WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

FROM ONE OF MY EFRIENDS WITH CLEARLY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS!

*** begin quote ***

I felt compelled to pass this on and do my part.

WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY

Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America!

It is your patriotic duty to pass this on. If you don’t send this to at least 5 people, you’re a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are in the position of posing as a national threat.

Biology professor Andrew Poyarkov thinks that stray dogs in Moscow have learned to use the subway to get around the city.

Amazing!?!

Nothing would surprise me. We have an innate ability to ignore the obvious and the conceit to think we know it all.

I know I don’t. You?

FUN: Trip Report

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

we went to see the gnome;

then four times we went to roam;

along the way, ate, so we’ve grown;

now we’re on our way home;

never ever again 2 rome;

longing for this 2 end? groan!

Baboons attack a car with roof luggage

A funny two minutes. As long as it’s not YOUR undies being tossed around. ROFL!


FUN: Socialism

Friday, July 17, 2009

FROM LUDDITE:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.

——————————————–

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D!

No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

# – # – #

OBVIOUSLY, an urban legend. No professor gives out F’s any more. Grade inflation!

FUN: Luddite forwards me “an american doctor”

Friday, July 10, 2009

A French doctor says, “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we

can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him

looking for work in six weeks.”

A German doctor says, “That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one

person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four

weeks.”

The Russian doctor says, “In my country, medicine is so advanced that

we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and

have them both looking for work in two weeks.”

An American doctor, not to be outdone, says, “You guys are way behind!

We recently took an unknown man with no brain out of Illinois , put him

in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work.”

FUN: Last fifteen minutes of the movie GREASE

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Just had the happenstance to watch the last fifteen minutes of the movie Grease. There’s a certain elemental joy in it. Carefully constructed, of course. ONJ is beautiful; we know about her health problems coming. JT is virile; we know about his personal sadnesses in the future. And, the countless actors and actresses in the cast; we don’t know what happened to them. There’s a line in the song “We’ll always be together”. Unfortunately, that is NOT true. We only have the briefest of times for joy and lifetimes of separation. Still it’s nice to suspend belief and pretend.
