The Marshall Plan?




Politics Jargons:Corned Beef

A man went into a deli shop and took a seat at the lunch counter. "Give me a corned beef sandwich," he ordered.

"Corned beef sandwich is not on the menu, but I can give you a sandwich with corned beef in it, like our Midnight Special."

"What's a Midnight Special?"

"A triple decker with corned beef, tongue, bologna, tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle and mayonnaise, on toasted raisin bread."

"Could you just place a piece of corned beef between two slices of white bread and serve it to me on a plate?"

"Why, sure!" Then, turning to the sandwich man, he sang out: "One Midnight Special. Make it one deck, hold the tongue, bologna, tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle and mayonnaise, and make the raisin bread white, untoasted!"

Hi Folks,

See the bird the last few times when I ain't around, it means I'm on LEAVE, flapping around, ha-ha. Anyway, I'm getting bored with metaphysics, let's talk about something else,

ECONOMICS,

Ha-ha.....

Met up with one of my learned friends today, an economist who expounded that two countries, Japan and Germany who lost the World War 2, are in the top economic forces to be reckoned with in the world today because of the Marshall Plan implemented by the US and that the US economy should learn from it. Not clear with all his jargons, same mutual feelings when I try to explain wealth creation with the water theory in Fengshui to him. Did some non fengshui researches and came up with this amusing article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner. If you hate economics, I suggested you skip it to avoid wasting your time, ha-ha..

My Super gaming computer is down and I 'm using my laptop. Argh, I sure hate the squeezed keyboard, cramping my fingers. For sure, you would see me doing less posting elsewhere too tempoary or the BIRD, ha-ha....



Till-then, cheers!

About Politics



Ha-ha, I'm kind of tired tonight, ain't got anything to contribute.

As usual, copying.

Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to one of the political candidates.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, that candidate is a 'Post Turtle'".

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'".

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.

"You know they didn't get up there by themselves, they don't belong up there, and they don't know what to do while they're up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put them up there to begin with".

Ha-ha, for those affected by the recent gloom, no offence.

As Usual,



Cheers
