Guest post by Sir Henry Casingbroke A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, discouraged and depressed, [...] On the real estate crash. Which is a pale imitation of a memorable previous post here on slow rates of acceptance for a sixtieth birthday party. In fact, the same clip has been exploited many times. It has become a viral internet fad! [...] Thanks Sir Henry This entertained me. Thanks Bernd Misdirected enthusiasm? Thanks Bernd Sarah Palin went to a debate camp in Arizona to sharpen her skills in preparation for the big debate. David Letterman sent in a spy to discern the 10 most important things they focused on. Meanwhile a pastor in Alaska has broadcast a video seeking to protect Sarah from witchcraft during the debate. An industry [...] Thanks Bernd Friend Jack R, is having his 60th birthday party soon – in Forestville, Sydney. I will be there but it seems the acceptances have been slow. This has got to be the YouTube of the decade. This early Freakonomics post made a much criticised approach to the issue. This recent clip makes useful (cutting edge) suggestions. Unending piles of work – writing exams, marking assignments, complying with bureaucracy – have muted my sense of the joy-of-life over the past few days. Life feels like one hassled, pointless, industrial-strength march towards boot hill. The following from John S. and Lena provided comic relief. Adam & Eve in Saudi Arabia (with apologies [...] I would be astonished if Troy Buswell gets a kick out of smelling the seat that a woman has recently sat in. I assume his actions in sniffing the chair seat of a female Liberal Party staffer (in her presence) were a questionable joke that has gone seriously wrong. You wonder about the motives of [...] Thanks Bernd Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do [...] Partly in response to my earlier stereo system bleg, Francis Xavier Holden has put his shoulder to the wheel and delivered the first of a series of advice posts on how to buy a stereo system at modest cost. Worth a look, here. Quite independently FXH offers a hilarious ‘concept song’ that will ring inner [...] 1. I will never again poke holes in the fatuous arguments of dumb-assed lefties. Instead I will learn to feel empathy for their sad, lost souls and for their misguided views on the ugliness of humanity. Cheer up comrades. 2. I will support the Australian pharmaceutical industry and purchase supplies of sleeping pills. Reading Paul [...] “To Kevin Rudd. At a time when Australia was suffering an unprecedented shortage of skilled labour (truck drivers were earning $100,000 in the Pilbara, for example), Kev managed to persuade the electorate that workers were being persecuted under Australian workplace agreements. If St Kev and La Jool carry out their election promise and hand bargaining [...] It is Friday again and time to lighten up and forget about the horrific prospect of Labor victory. I had been reading how to eliminate 70% of my golf driver errors with a ‘no-backswing swing’ in Golf Magazine when I noticed a curious ad on page 120 for vasectomies provided by Marie Stopes International. I’ve [...] “Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl”. The priest asks, “Is that you, Dicky?” “Yes, Father, it is.” “And who was the girl you were with?” “I can’t tell you, Father, I don’t want to ruin her reputation.” “Well, Dicky, I’m sure to find out her name sooner [...] Victoria’s Labor leadership consists almost entirely of pretend toffs or real toffs. That’s all the better to help them spot that ‘light on the hill’ and helps us Liberal supporters since we win whoever wins the Victorian State election. Quote: ‘PREMIER John Brumby’s new-look Cabinet is crammed full of highly educated lawyers, teachers, social workers, [...] |
