A Little Humo(u)r Inserted In Our Presidential Election

I've seen the first part before, but never with the numbered list. I love that, for the most part!
1. I already do that!
2. Also works for me.
3. Meh...as long as we get to celebrate English holidays instead.
4. My mom taught me to do that when I was a kid, so I'm good.
5. That's going to be a problem...I use a pretty impressive knife at work and carry it daily.
6. We've already started doing that all around the city. Most of the time it works.
7. I don't have a car, so whatever.
8. Works for me!
9. Amen. And I'll say it again, AMEN!!
10. Agreed on accents, but only if we carry it further and disallow ALL bad acting accents (Kyra Sedgwick's horrendous "southern" accent in The Closer leaps to mind).
11. But I like American football! There will be underground clubs everywhere.
12. Works for me! Baseball is what marks time between hockey seasons for me, watched only because it's on TV at the bar.
13. Fair enough.
14. As long as I only have to pay what I owe from my lifetime, we're good. lol
15. YES!! I'll get right on that.

 

I'm good with that!

There is one roundabout in my area. Only one that I know of within a 100 mile radius. It has confused most drivers to distraction. Funny thing is there was no good reason to build it where it was built. Two roads intersect, one should of been a through road the other should have a stop sign.

We started high school baseball here last week. We have spring baseball, summer baseball and softball, and fall baseball which overlaps with fall football which overlaps with basketball, then we get lucky and have about a month break the it starts all over again with spring baseball. We spend most of out time watching and supporting kids sports. And don't get me started on March Madness, which we have to DVR so we don't miss any important games if we have a baseball game that night.

 

katkat, I would shoot myself in the head if I had to watch that much baseball AND basketball! I would rather shove knitting needles through my eyes than endure a basketball game. I hate it even when I'm being paid to be there. lol

 

This made me laugh as much as when I first read it some time ago.

Ditto on no.9.
And no. 4 & 11.

 

1. https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo7.gifDitto

2. https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo7.gifAbsolutely agree!https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo29.gif

3. While Down Under doesn’t have the holiday, with so many American friends it tends to be celebrated here (at least in city areas).

4. Agree…though unfortunately, outcome of crimes here indicate we are slipping into those extremes…

5. While we have gun laws in force, the carrying of “other weapon” type laws have toughened as to what would be considered a “lethal weapon”. If used in a fight with effect a “vegetable peeler” would be considered “lethal”.

6. I prefer roundabouts which have less incidences as compared to STOP signshttps://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo3.gif

8. Hmmm…dunno. When last in the States, I was served thick cut chips called “French Fries” (though not cooked in animal fat as they didn’t leave that fatty film on the teeth).

9. Not into beer so I’ll leave this one to those who are.

10. Yes. There’s nothing worse than hearing one of our Aussie actors putting on an American accent..never sure what State or mish mash of American States the accent is supposed to be when attempted...https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo23.gif

Same applies to American actors trying to put on an English accent or worse still an Aussie one.

11. Dunno. I enjoy American grit iron footie…and soccer…and rugby too…three different types of play formats which I find enjoyable to watch.

12. Hmmm…nah, I enjoy watching baseball…as a kid we played softball being similar. Never been able to tolerate cricket (for me it is like watching grass grow…my apologies to those cricket lovers…)

13. https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo7.gif ...Absolutely!

14. Hmmm…now this is embarrassing…whoever drafted this for the Queen didn’t research very well…ahem…hint…Boston Tea Party…”No taxation without representation”? American Revolution late 18th century...founding of USA... (Oh dear, this is just too embarrassing.)

15. Yes! While timing not always convenient, this is something I particularly enjoy when visiting our Blue Mountains area, particularly in Winter. (Mugs are great for hot chocolate. Hate tea bags. Like my tea brewed in a good quality teapot which keeps the tea hot to the last drop and served in good china cups on saucers…for me, love and savour the aroma and taste of brewed tea – more enjoyable and so different to tea bags in a mug.https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo3.gif)

 

Still my favorite Monty Python joke...

First time I saw a variation of this email was in 2004. I still find it pretty funny.

 

This is só funny!
LMAO.

Yes, we dó drink a lot of beer. And the British... who introduced Rugby & Cricket to this country can only try to beat us.

 

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

----------------------

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

Your Majesty, it is wonderful you have disarmed your security, as a model for all of us to follow.

Funny post.

 

In honour of our return to the bosom of the British Empire, here's a rousing rendition of our new national anthem, God Save the Queen.

 

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

I refuse to give up my coffee mug for my coffee but stll OK with having afternoon tea with cookies and cake.

AND why have a roundabout when a left turn would suffice?

 

In defense of roundabouts (or traffic circles): If they're done right, they are fantastic! The trouble is, a lot of cities don't do them right. We just had a series of them put in a couple of years ago along one particular stretch of road where it used to be a through street and a bunch of cross streets. The through street didn't have to stop, the cross streets had stop signs. There wasn't enough traffic to warrant installing traffic lights, but the people on the cross streets often had to sit for long periods of time before there was a break in traffic so they could go. We got into an accident one day because someone decided they were done waiting and took out the front corner of our car (which was really, really common). Since the roundabouts went in, there have been zero accidents on that entire two-mile stretch, whereas before there were at least two a month. Plus, they have the added bonus of slowing down the through traffic, which used to get going up to 20mph over the speed limit through a residential area with a large park where there are tons of children and dog walkers.

The ones in another part of the city that were done stupidly, however, have actually caused more accidents. Those were built because the city had a budget surplus in an area that could only be used for new infrastructure projects and they didn't know what else to do with it.

I just realized I totally missed the whole metrics part of that one. If we don't have to do conversion charts, that works for me! I can deal with my brain thinking in imperial measurements while using metric, I just would rather remove my own spleen with a grapefruit spoon than have to do that stupid conversion math they spent years trying to teach me in school!

 

Our only roundabout is not in high traffic area. So not necessary in my opinion. Bigger cities might benefit from them.
In a lot of small towns there are square abouts, not their real name. You know where the traffic is one way around the town square?

 

Roundabouts . . . . Funny how you talk about something and then you experience it in your life.
Today I unexpectedly had to go to a town I am not use to about 100 miles from home. In the middle of town they had a roundabout/squareabout, yes I know that is not what they are called but it describes this one. The inside left lane went around and the outside right lane formed a square. On all four sides the streets turning right off the square were named Main Street. Confusing huh? Actually they were named W Main, E Main, S Main, and N Main. I honestly think it is a bit of joke on visitors who don't know where they are going. Like me! The only address I had for my destination was Main Street.

 

The ones with more than one lane are the dumb ones! Nobody knows which lane to be in, and everybody just ends up driving in the middle and sideswiping each other.

The good ones are one lane. You just drive and exit the circle where you need to. No figuring out lanes, no trying to get over and back again, just driving.
