Our Reserve Bank is talking of bringing in charges for those that want to use cash, as it's costing them to administer it nowadays. How ridiculous!
I like using cash for buying items off Gumtree etc. Not looking forward to its demise.

For those who don't yet know Ismo, I recommend this one to start.
Transplanted Finnish guy.
It concerns the word ***.
Not much about donkeys in there but fun enough to share with all but the youngest.
Especially in today's world where they may have other uses beyond what even Dad or Grandpa know.
Please enjoy responsibly.

I'm reminded of my uncles Sven and Ole (from the old country of Minnesota).
One morning they pulled up to their favorite coffee shop. On their way in from the parking lot they were chanting "Fifty-one! . . . Fifty-one! . . . Fifty-one . . . ", and giving each other high fives.
Even inside the coffee shop they continued. The waitress finally calmed them down and asked them what all of this "Fifty-one" stuff was all about.
Sven said, "Ve put the yigsaw puzzle together in 51 days, but the box said 3 to 5 years!
They always amaze me.

Me too, and I only know their nephew.
51, 51!
And all this time I thought it was 42.

For at least the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that Salvation Army has “pay by tap” feature in 3 preset denominations next to their collection stands.
Not sure where you started from, or are heading to Ed. Care to enlighten us?

I think that he means that dumb people jokes are very old, and quite boring...from the 8s.
They have lost their novelty, though some humor from the olden days still retains its ability to make us smile.
Like Groucho Maarx, Three Stooges and other slapstick comedians like Buster Keaton?
Some are funny at the tenth repitition, most are not...

Naresh, perhaps your thoughts are…
…never mind, I’ve tried before.
If there is anyone allowed to make humour, it is those of their own kind.
Seems we have lost that thought.
Too bad.
To criticize a basic brand of humour because it no longer appeals to you is rather petty.
Anyway, this is not the thread for pointing out what we don’t agree about. Time to return to the gist of this methinks.

Yes, everybody has a different sense of humor, and there are many types.
For example, quotes below:
Face that would stop a clock
Young torpedo
Hit somebody on the coco
Quotes from the work of a famous writer, does not come up in conversation these days.
Mark Twain, 'The Figgerin' of Aunt Wilma'
or the time Tom Sawyer greased the railway tracks...and at another time dosed the cat with castor oil.
To each his own...

James Thurber, Stephen Leacock and others do not seem popular these days...and if somebody has a valid link for Ogden Nash, please share it.
I think Southern French are funny, but I don't find Castilians funny at all.
A Texan travels to Spain to do a business meeting.
After work he goes to a restaurant and orders "the daily special"
He gets a couple of big meatballs, he loves them.
A while later, the Texan comes back to Spain for another meeting.
Again, after work, he goes out the same restaurant and he orders "the daily special"
Again, he gets a couple of big meatballs. Delicious!
A few months later he returns for another meeting.
Once again, after work he goes to the restaurant and orders "the daily special"
But this time, he gets two small meatballs, so he complains.
The waiter says "Ay sorry señor, but sometimes the bull wins"
^ these are all Spanish jokes from my early youth.
A variation ( Texan jokes were by the dozen )
A Texan travels to Spain,
Goes to a restaurant and orders steak and french fries and drinks beer.
He travels to Spain frequently and does this every time.
Always eats steak and french fries and drinks beer.
Back at home he boasts how Spanish Food is the best in the World.
