A Modern Fable

The President, the First Lady and Dick Cheney are flying on Air Force One.

George looks at Laura, chuckles and says,” You know, I could throw a $1,000.00 bill out the window right now and make somebody very happy.”
Laura shrugs her shoulders and says, “Well, I could throw ten $100.00 bills out the window and make ten people very happy.”
Cheney says, “Of course then, I could throw one hundred $10.00 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy.”

The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them and says to his co-pilot, “Such big shots back there….. hell, I could throw all of them out the window and make 56 million people very happy.”

Guitars from the communist era: “this site is dedicated to really bad guitars. The price on any of the axes shown here may vary from $10 to $200, and you are strongly adviced not to buy them – unless you’re a bizzaria collector.”

All Caps

The case for ALL CAPS in favor of exclamation marks. I tend to agree, actually.

A 100 Years of Relativity

One hundred years ago, a man by the name of Albert Einstein introduced his Special Theory of Relativity, forever changing the way science looks upon reality. To explain that theory in simple terms is not the easiest of tasks — which is why, to this day, you can win a grand prize of 25,000 euros by making it understandable to the rest of us ignorant mortals. Anyone?

60 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots ‘n around my toe
Frost had bit the ground below…

What’s a man to do in a situation like that?

Massive Cow Manure

Dickinson said the smoke is not particularly malodorous — although that comes from a man who works full-time around manure. “I guess it’s just all perspective,” he said. “To me, it just smells like smoke. I really don’t know how to describe it.” (Thanks Hairfarmer, erh, I think!)
