My wife told me she missed me. That sounds nice, I know, but she was reloading at the time.

If I self-identify as overweight, does that make me trans-fat?

It is a mixed-up world we live in.
I bought a new TV,
just to watch people
I dislike more vividly.

Back in the 1960's when the now famous bands were starting to make a name for themselves, I, with a couple of fellow students, having missed out on seeing The Rolling Stones, managed to get tickets to see them in the students union hall in Coventry. It would be quite a journey but even then The Rolling Stones were gathering something of a following. We all had a fabulous time.
Coming out of the hall we saw, on the opposite side of the road, the recently commissioned Coventry Cathedral, it had been built to replace the centuries old one the was bombed in WW2. On the wall of the cathedral is a statue of Michael the Arch Angel, standing over a prostrate Lucifer. The one thing we couldn't miss was that Old Nick was a very well blessed lad indeed.
Three drunken students then proceeded to climb on each other's shoulders to stretch a condom on the devil's er, appendage, before we all fell to the floor laughing. Back home next day, I got word that the local Coventry newspaper ran a headline: "Well it makes a change."
This is where it had to be explained to me. Coventry is famous for the naked protest ride of Lady Godiva, against her husband's The Earl Leofric, punitive taxes. Apparently, every so often, when there's some drunken ribaldry affair in that city, the students and others will climb up on Godiva's statue and fasten a bra on her. So, even though that had to be explained, we still had a good laugh at our escapade, in fact we dined out on that for months.

You blame the PRI for almost everything else.

This is reputedly a true tale. It sounds plausible enough but.............
BIOLOGY EXAM:
This is straight from Scotland. Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk'.
The question was worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages.
However, he wrote:
1) It is the perfect formula for the child.
2) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It bonds the child to the mother, and vice versa.
6) It is always available as needed.
And then the student was stuck.
Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote:
7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it.
He got an A+.

That's the late great moonshiner Popcorn Sutton. It was Sutton's widow that Hank Williams Jr bought the recipe & naming rights from, to take it legal.
