Something to lighten the mood

We could fill pages with Groucho’s family friendly quips.
Let’s start with “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member”
We could be open minded about it, but not so much so that our brains fall out.
“Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife”

shall we continue?

As a trans Atlantic flight was on it's way to England, the passengers were enjoying a nice catered meal when the captain came in the public address system and commenced to inform the passengers that they were experiencing a little engine problem and had to secure it. But not to worry as this 747 had four engines and was more than safe, but they would be twenty minutes late getting to the gate.

A short time later he made another similar announcement that they had secured a second engine, but once again assured the passengers, everything would be just fine, but they would probably miss any connecting flights as they would be about two hours late.

Another hour or so passed when he came on again with the message that a third engine had failed and that the airplane had no choice but to continue on but they were still calculating their arrival time.

About this time, a gentleman who was sitting in business class turned to another gentleman sitting next to him and said, I have a meeting to attend in the morning and if that other engine quits, I'm going to miss it because we'll be here all day.

Production of straws has been stopped here, most single use plastic items like spoons, forks, plates and so on as well, it was getting to be too much of a pollution issue.
Food packaging and medical devices can still use thin film, the others have to have a much thicker 52 micron minimum.
Bio-degradable items are being encouraged.

So buy some extra...
 
Amazon says our household purchased 1000 drinking straws on October 3, 2022. We completely ran out today. I'm surprised at the burn rate.

I thought they outlaw'd drinking straws in our State...

We bought a couple of thousand as a Japanese super and then on our trips to Washington State we bought a few more thousand..

... and halogen PAR18 lamps, battery powered smoke detectors, all that stuff that the yahoos in Sacramento decided we couldn't have.
 
Can we start a series of posts about inept public figures, politicians included?

We have some here, best described as Mr. Bean types, though some flavor is lost in translation.

Don't go there.... in the West we could fill 10,000 World Cup stadiums with such... 10,000 x 100,000 = 1B...

Hmm... maybe taking the EU in Brussels in account, make that 12,000 stadiums.

Monty Python was so far ahead of the curve.
