Subj : Re: Metric Dozen To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Dec 29 2021 23:18:00 George, GP> If at first you don't succeed. . . GP> . . . then skydiving may not be the right hobby for you. . . . then try GP> doing it the way your wife told you to in the first place. . . . hide GP> all evidence that you even tried. The meme I liked was where this guy is confronted by "The Grim Reaper" on the street. He tells the poor soul "that fancy expensive item you had ordered was delivered to your home while your wife was at work, and she signed for it. Do you want to go home and face the music, or just come with me now??". GP> Actually, with inflation, it;s more like $119! Or as Jerry Reed's song "Lord, Mister Ford", noted... "Well, I figured it up, and over a period of time, this $4000 car of mine cost $14,000 and 99 cents". GP> There's a name fron 40 years ago! I remember him -- whatever happened GP> to him? I don't know...but he was originally from Russia, and he emigrated to the US. He had a show in Branson, at his own theatre...and it was all G-rated entertainment. GP> You ever have those people who say, "Here's a picture of me from when I GP> was younger?" Not that I can recall. GP> EVERY picture of you is from when you were younger! -- American GP> Philosopher G. Carlin(RIP) This is true. I've got a picture on my Facebook profile of our late parents, my brother and myself. It was Christmas Day, 1962...my brother had just turned 1, and I would turn 3 in March. I think my Mom and Dad were only 37 at the time...they were born 40 days apart...Mom was the older one...but she lived 12 1/2 years longer than my Dad. GP> I have a nice set of the Comedy Central Roasts -- they're my fave. A GP> new genre out now: Roast Battles. GP> There's the US, UK, & Canadian TV series. I'm sure there are several on YouTube. It reminds me of a deal known as "The Curse Exchange". GP> That's how I first saw & fell in love with Sarah Tiana (southern girl GP> -- not all sugar & spice, but the most adorable little cheeks!) Never heard of her. GP> It's simple: in the olden daze, the nobility (corporate CEOs in today's GP> world) taxed the heck out of people's hard work, to ensure a constant GP> flow of their production into their own treasuries. Those who refused, GP> were executed as examples to the rest. I'm sorry I asked. :P GP> Now they want you to buy whatever crap they've dreamed up for the same GP> purpose, because now only the government can tax you (& it's slower GP> getting your money that way, for the modern nobility) Why does the saying "Don't lie, cheat, and steal!! The government hates competition!!" come to mind?? GP> So they poison the foods & meds the poor people take (execution, GP> because they didn't produce enough to buy the better stuff) That's what they seem to be doing today with Covid-19...they're saying the unvaccinated are dying, but from what I've seen, it's the other way around. GP> ALL the antidepressants covered by HMOs & socialist governments cause GP> the takers to visualize themselves committing suicide. (true story: GP> "suicidal ideation" usually not understood by those who even bother GP> reading the monographs) I am reminded from the deal on "The Fat Bible", where mankind basically listened to Satan, and gorged himself with all the high fat and high cholesterol foods. The last 3 lines went like this: And, man went into cardiac arrest. And, God created quadruple bypass surgery. And, Satan created HMO's. GP> Beer goggles = satirical reference to being drunk (she looks better GP> when youre drunk = the goggles are working) First time I've ever heard the term. GP> "It's a photo of my wife," he answered, "I came in here to get drunk. GP> Soon as she starts looking good, I'm done." Wonder how long it took to get what he wanted. GP> Not me -- no market for naked pics of this big ol' old guy! (oh, right, GP> Rule 34, so maybe there is). Rule 1: The boss is always right. Rule 2: Whenever the boss is wrong, refer to Rule 1. GP> "Who is it?" one asked. GP> "Blind guy." GP> "She opened the door, figuring what harm. GP> "Wow! Looking good, sisters. Where do you want these blinds?" I've heard a variation of that...I'll bet that man got an eyefull!! GP> As I've heard -- pretty ignorant, if you ask me, for stores to be GP> operated in Spanish, when the nation is English(still the majority, by GP> an ever slimmer margin) I had Spanish in high school...but I don't know if I ever took it in college. I can read it, but I can't speak it, as it were. GP> Nancy Kerrigan got the damaged knee, no? Thus Tanya took her out, via GP> the knee? Or it was Tonya's boyfriend who did the dirty deed?? Whatever happend to all of them?? GP> Nah, these were already well established in the '90s, when I first GP> stole that one from this echo! *LOL* & I'll steal it again. . . I GP> don't care! I'm a rebel! Non-conformist. GP> I had 2 buttons: GP> "Kiss me, I'm Irish" &, for those who would question my heritage: GP> "Irish for a day" (rolling the R's) "Irish Irus in Dixie". Daryl ....
