Open house

Posted on November 17, 2012 by KG

And are any of you interested in 35mm film photography? Because I have here a new Nikon F65, a 70-300mm telephoto lens and a 28-80mm zoom lens you can have for the cost of postage. Plus a few other goodies such as a negative scanner and a battery charger, all new.

    It’s hitting us now. Not as much lightning as we’d hoped, but plenty of wind and it’s dropped 10c in the last ten minutes or so. :grin:

    A white guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub. Two blonde genies appear, and they tell him he has been granted three wishes.

    The guy makes his three wishes and the blonde genies disappear.

    The next thing the guy knows he’s in a bedroom, in a mansion surrounded by 50 beautiful women. He makes love to all of them and begins to explore the house.

    Suddenly he feels something soft under his feet, he looks down and the floor is awash with $100 bills.

    Then, there’s a knock at the door. He answers it and standing there are two persons dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits. They drag him outside to the nearest tree, throw a rope over a limb and hang him by the neck until he’s dead.

    As the Klansmen are walking away, they remove their hoods; it’s the two blonde genies.

    One blonde genie says to the other one, “I can understand the first wish having all these beautiful women in a big mansion to make love to. I can also understand him wanting to be a millionaire… but why he wanted to be hung like a black man is beyond me!”

      Interesting stuff, Contempt. But really, it just illustrates how fractured and rudderless the Right is.

    This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It’s allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race……….

    A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot. The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.

    She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot.

    They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled her immensely.

    At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope – containing $2 in 10 cent coins. The little girl took her ‘pay’ home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day to open a savings account.

    At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her ‘work’ on the building site and the fact she had a ‘pay packet’.

    ‘You must have worked very hard to earn all this’, said the cashier. The little girl proudly replied, ‘Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Jimmy the Hoon. We’re building a big house.’

    ‘My goodness gracious,’ said the cashier, ‘And will you be working on the house again next week?’

    The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously, ‘I think so. Provided those wankers at Carters deliver the fucken bricks on time.’

    An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction
    site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian
    guy, “you’re in charge of sweeping.” To the Scotsman he says, “you’re in
    charge of shoveling.” And to the Chinese guy. “You’re in charge of
    supplies.”

    He then says, “Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys
    to make a dent in that there pile of sand. So the foreman goes away for a
    couple hours. When he returns, he sees the pile of sand is still
    untouched. He says to the Italian, “Why didn’t you sweep any of it?” The
    Italian replies in a heavy accent, “I no getta broom. You tella the
    Chinesea guy he inna charge ofa supplies, but he disappear and I could no
    find him!”

    Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and asks “Didn’t I tell you to
    shovel?” The Scotsman replies in his heavy brogue, “Aye, ye did lad, but I
    couldna get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinee in charge of supplies, but
    I couldna find him!”

    The foreman is really angry now, and storms off toward the pile of sand,
    looking for the Chinese guy. Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from
    behind the pile of sand and yells “SUPPLIES!”

    Been reading about the Israel/Hamas/Syria/Iran/Muslim Brotherhood clusterfuck for the past couple of hours.
    The Magic Kenyan may well be the man who started WW3 with his inept/evil dabblings and vacillations in the M.E.

      Unfortunately his greatest wish might just come true………the destruction of Israel.

      Bibi has missed his opportunity, and Obama knows it. :gunner

        Yes indeed. If this thing spirals out of control the finger points straight back to the Kenyan. Or rather, his handlers.

    KG, it is incorrect to use the term “cluster-fuck” any more. The correct term is now “omni-shambles.” Knowing of your desire to be politically correct and inoffensive at all times, I knew you’d wish to know that. No need for effusive thanks; we’re all in this learning curve thing together. ;-)

    Thanks for pointing out my most grievous reactionary error, comrade.
