RMweb Premium Popular Post Sidecar Racer Posted August 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.' And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves. And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve And it was a good animal and God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.' And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG. And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride . They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.' And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.' And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the Supreme Beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility. And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased. And Dog was happy. And Cat . . . didn't give a **** one way or the other. 6 1 2 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a Polish joke from the Martial Law era: 1st Comrade: Comrade, the Polish economy is flourishing under martial law - soon every comrade will have his own helicopter. 2nd Comrade: What's the point of everyone having their own helicopter? 1st Comrade: Well, if you are in Cracow and hear that there are cabbages on sale in Warsaw... 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 There was I --- pleased as Punch at the Christening of our son. James Robert Bruce. Heir to the family pile in Scotland. All the family are happy also; Mother and Father seeing their first grandchild. Grandmama is now a Great Grandmother. (Mindst' you she has always been great as far as I am concerned.) A great occasion indeed. James Robert Bruce, all family names of first born sons throughout the centuries. All at the Estate wished the young lad well. Young James began to walk. His first steps were a delight to see. Tears were in Lady Elizabeth's (my wife) eyes. Now he walks ---- and runs----- We have changed young James's name to Egon. -------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Where's Egon?" "Where's Egon?" 1 2 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there was the brownnose tribe - a tribe who moved from place to place by crawling very closely behind one another.

jcredfer Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I read HR* in full, or initials and a mental picture appears, of a storeroom staffed by white coated, black-booted, robots, with clip-boards, walking along the corridors of shelving populated with real people sat on the shelving, awaiting the call for their skills, whist others are being stacked back, having performed well enough to be recycled later. The Skip, in the courtyard, in the rear car park appears to have the remnants of worn-out empty human shells.

One is an unstoppable blight that's ruining a country and causing unnecessary suffering to millions of people.

Sir Cumferance. Going back many years I recall finding a copy of the Examiners' Report on the previous year's A level examinations in an office that I probably shouldn't have been in. I got to the report on that year's History examination and found that one examiner was enthralled by the exploits of the gallant Sir Bastepol during the Crimean War as related by one examinee.

KeithMacdonald Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My wife and I were sitting at a table at her school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's an old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And that’s how the fight started…. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
