[Entsuropi]

I have always found it amusing that the British - particularly the English - have always perceived themselves as a fairly peaceful lot and yet somehow, in their civilized and decent way, they found it unfortunately necessary to conquer one-quarter of the world. For the good of the locals, of course. It still makes me laugh.

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."
"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life." "Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man. "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

Funny... three years ago I could have sworn the last clock in that joke belonged to Bill Clinton...

[fuzzyoctopus]

I did.   I'm sure it belonged to someone else before that.  It's one of those old jokes that's only funny the first time you hear it, so it has to keep getting updated for each new generation.

And just for the heck of it, I'll put a quote down too.

Kristy is afraid the haunted house that the roleplaying group is going to will have a chainsaw weilding maniac.

"Are there chainsaws?" - Kristy
"No."
"Are there saws?" - Kristy
"No."
"Are there chains?"  - J.T.

I'm the limerick, mired in muck.
I refuse to be bored or get stuck.
  I like to offend,
  But not, in the end,
As much as to thwart expectations.

"All truth passes through three stages:  First it is ridiculed.  Second, it is violently opposed.  Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."  - Schoepenhauer

[Lieutenant Kije]

I wonder what the world would be like if we all grew up to be what we dreamed of as kids?  Imagine a world full of cowboys, firemen, ballerinas, and nurses.
