Back Again

It's been a while since I last posted here, but with the rise in wokeism countered by the new Trump presidensy in the US, I thought I would try and start posting regularly again.

TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS

 Question 1: 

If you knew a woman who was pregnant,

Who had 8 kids already,

Three who were deaf,

Two who were blind,

One mentally retarded,

And she had syphilis,

Would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the response for this one

 QUESTION TWO

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.

Here are the facts about the three candidates.

 

Candidate A:
Associates with crooked politicians,

and consults with astrologists,

He's had two mistresses,

He also chain smokes

And drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

 

Candidate B:
He was kicked out of office twice,

Sleeps until noon,

Used opium in college,

And drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

 

Candidate C:
He is a decorated war hero.

He's a vegetarian,

Doesn't smoke,

Drinks an occasional beer,

And never committed adultery.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?
Decide first .. No peeking, and then scroll down for the response.
>

> 

> 



>
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

 

 

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven. 


Pretty interesting isn't it?
Makes a person think before judging someone.
Remember: 


Amateurs ... Built the ark.
Professionals .. Built the Titanic

Letter to USA as a response to the Brexit negotiations

To all the citizens of the United States of America - from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA (the current one being a shining example) and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ,will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealth and territories, except Kansas which she does not fancy. (ps  Originally Oregon which she has now forgiven).

The current Prime Minister, here in England, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.  A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed!

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.'  Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters,  and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'  Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels.  (look up 'vocabulary').

Also, do please note that the last letter in the alphabet is (pronounced)   as "ZED" , and not ZEE.

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English!  The English Language was derived from LATIN - yours have no origin. Only bits and pieces collected from 'grunts', 'coughs', 'sneezing' and Farting.   We will let Microsoft know.  The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of  '-ize.!

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. It will henceforth be known as "Yankee Fool's Day"

4. You will learn to resolve personal differences without using guns, lawyers, or therapists.  The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists, shows that you're not quite ready to be independent.  Guns should only be used for shooting grouse.  If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.(p.s "Grouse-the bird, not a quarrel!)

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler.  Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect.  At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.   Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour!

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol ,(which you have been calling  "Gas" or "Gasoline" ) of roughly $10/US gallon. Our cars run on Petrol, NOT Gas! Get used to it.

8. You will learn to make real chips.  Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps.  Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat and dressed not with 'ketchup' but with salt & vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer, is not actually beer at all!  Henceforth, only proper British Beers will be referred to as beer, and European brews of  known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager.  New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth, and it can only be due to the beer.  They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them!  American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys.  Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters.  Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in" Four Weddings and a Funeral " was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater!.

11. You will cease playing American football.  There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby (dominated by the New Zealanders).  Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest and a grope, every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like a bunch of 'poofters').

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball.  It is not reasonable to host an event called the  "World series" that does not include the real world, the world has more countries than USA.  You will learn the gentleman's game of Cricket, and we will let you face the Australians (currently trying to stop cheating) first to take the sting out of their deliveries.  Please note, the exclamation "NO BALL" -is nothing personal! Neither is "short leg","fine leg" and "good shot"!

13. You must tell us why you began to call  members of the medical profession  "DUCK -TERR's".   Your countrymen call Anaesthetists ,"Anaesthesiologists" ! Another lengthy 'smokescreen to hide their mistakes?!! These of course they tend to bury.

14.  Finally, your entire nation needs to educate yourselves on "HUMILITY", not to run 'roughshod' over others and/or their respective countries. Poverty is an 'accident' of fate, "Hillbilly music is not! "

15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government, will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all taxes and monies due (backdated to 1776).

16.  The Daily 'Tea Time' begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers and never mugs, with cucumber sandwiches, high quality biscuits (not cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream)  when in season.

God Save the Queen!

The Parrot

During a lull between the speeches at a White House ceremony, Melania Trump leaned over to chat with the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

"You know Rex, I bought Donald a parrot for Christmas. That bird is so smart, Donald has already taught him to pronounce over two hundred words!"

"Wow, that's pretty impressive," said Tillerson, "but, you do realize that he just speaks the words, he doesn't really understand what they mean."

"Oh, I know," Melania replied, "Neither does the parrot !"

EU Brexit bill explained...

David Davis is at the golf club returning his locker key when Mr Barnier, the membership secretary, sees him. 


"Hello Mr Davis", says Mr Barnier. "I'm sorry to hear you are no longer renewing your club membership, if you would like to come to my office we can settle your account".

"I have settled my bar bill" says Mr Davis..

"Ah yes Mr Davis", says Mr Barnier, "but there are other matters that need settlement"

In Mr Barniers office Mr Davis explains that he has settled his bar bill so wonders what else he can possibly owe the Golf Club? "Well Mr Davis" begins Mr Barnier, "you did agree to buy one of our Club Jackets".

"Yes" agrees Mr Davis "I did agree to buy a jacket but I haven't received it yet". "As soon as you supply the jacket I will send you a cheque for the full amount".

"That will not be possible" explains Mr Barnier. "As you are no longer a club member you will not be entitled to buy one of our jackets"!

"But you still want me to pay for it" exclaims Mr Davis.

"Yes" says Mr Barnier, "That will be £500 for the jacket. "There is also your bar bill".

"But I've already settled my bar bill" says Mr Davis.

"Yes" says Mr Barnier, "but as you can appreciate, we need to place our orders from the Brewery in advance to ensure our bar is properly stocked".. "You regularly used to spend at least £50 a week in the bar so we have placed orders with the brewery accordingly for the coming year" "You therefore owe us £2600 for the year"..

"Will you still allow me to have these drinks?" asks Mr Davis. "No of course not Mr Davis". "You are no longer a club member!" says Mr Barnier.

"Next is your restaurant bill" continues Mr Barnier. "In the same manner we have to make arrangements in advance with our catering suppliers". "Your average restaurant bill was in the order of £300 a month, so we'll require payment of £3600 for the next year".

"I don't suppose you'll be letting me have these meals either" asks Mr Davis.

"No, of course not" says an irritated Mr Barnier, "you are no longer a club member!"

"Then of course" Mr Barnier continues, "there are repairs to the clubhouse roof".

"Clubhouse roof" exclaims Mr Davis, "What's that got to do with me?"

"Well it still needs to be repaired and the builders are coming in next week", your share of the bill is £2000".

"I see" says Mr Davis, "anything else?".

"Now you mention it" says Mr Barnier, "there is Fred the Barman's pension". "We would like you to pay £5 a week towards Fred's pension when he retires next month". "He's not well you know so I doubt we'll need to ask you for payment for longer than about five years, so £1300 should do it". "This brings your total bill to £10,000" says Mr Barnier

"Let me get this straight" says Mr Davis, "you want me to pay £500 for a jacket you won't let me have, £2600 for beverages you won't let me drink and £3600 for food you won't let me eat, all under a roof I won't be allowed under and not served by a bloke who's going to retire next month!"

"Yes, it's all perfectly clear and quite reasonable" says Mr Barnier.“

P**s off!" says Mr Davis


Now we understand what Brexit is all about.


PS. Actually much of it is to do with France needing to maintain its life style, but with an economy unable to provide!

Leviticus

MARIJUANA and MARRIAGE in Washington State

On a single day, Washington State recently passed two laws.
 
They:
1. Legalized gay marriage, and
2. Legalized marijuana.
 
Legalizing gay marriage and marijuana on the same day now makes perfect Biblical sense:
Leviticus 20:13 says: "If a man lies with another man they should be stoned.”
 

Apparently, we just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!

Scientists in Geneva have announced new discovery

Scientists at CERN in Geneva have announced the discovery of the HEAVIEST element yet known to science.

AND yes ... it was discovered in Australia, which is now the leading producer.

The new element is Governmentium (Gv). It has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lefton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons or protons, it is inert.

However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes in contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction normally taking less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years.

It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

All of the money is consumed in the exchange, and no other by-products are produced.

Teacher Arrested at Toronto Pearson Airport.

Sounds like Trudeau is trying to emulate Trump!

A high school teacher was arrested today at Toronto Pearson Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule, and a calculator.

At a press conference, Premier Kathleen Wynne said she believes the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement.  She did not identify the man, who has been charged by the RCMP with carrying weapons of math instruction.

'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Premier said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.  They use secret code-names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns," but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek Philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are three sides to every triangle."'

When asked to comment on the arrest, Prime Minister Trudeau said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

Fellow Liberal colleagues told reporters they could not recall a more “intelligent” or “profound” statement by any Prime Minister.

UK Budget Alternative

Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed

5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week there's your money back in duty / tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

Odds Favor Clinton, Obama and McCain for U.S. President

San Jose, Costa Rica – February 26, 2007 – With the United States presidential nominations on the horizon and impending elections in 2008, bettors are flocking to sites like WagerWeb.com to put their money where their mouths are. Unlike many polls on Yahoo, AOL, Fox News and CNN, wagering sites offer a different insight into the minds of voters-to-be.

“Online bettors are not just interested in sporting events and are very serious about how they use their bankrolls,” says Dave Johnson, CEO of WagerWeb.com. “It’s not luck when it comes to betting on the news. Instead of just answering a poll question, they maximize their profit by gathering as much information as possible and using that knowledge to their money making advantage.”

Favorites are determined by whichever item is receiving the most bets. In the case of the presidential nominations, Clinton and McCain are leading the pack. Odds are listed on the Betting Directory site
