One Of My Very Own

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


I even hate accompanying music on MP4s.

^^A1^^

My daughters got the exact opposite advice from me.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

As an American, you have the right to vote without being intimidated or harassed.

If you see people like this near polling places or drop boxes, don't be silent, don't ignore them; report them.

^^A4^^

^^A5^^

This is an example of how our economy and the stock market are completely rigged. Even if you don't invest, this affects you. Wallstreet is robbing this country before our very eyes.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has a progressive agenda to overhaul this completely broken and corrupt system and will announce those plans in November.

The GOP leadership already has plans to block these efforts if and when they take the majority because many of the largest GOP donors run hedge funds and/or businesses that profit off this illegal activity.

^^A6^^

Once after defending homosexuals, I had a guy say, "Yeah, you say that now but what would you do if your daughter brought home a female lover?" 

And  I replied, "I would ask her if she would like a beer or wine?"

^^A7^^

^^A8^^

With a pandemic running rampant I would have thought every parent would have done EVERYTHING in their power to lessen the chance that their child dying. I was wrong. Millions of Americans did just not do everything, they did NOTHING.

^^A9^^


*I don't even know what that means but I do like posting anything with that guy in it.

^^A10^^

I heard a military expert say that future wars will be fought with thousands of drones - so many that it is impossible to stop them all. I could imagine flying one into the control tower of an aircraft carrier would be priority #1.

^^A11^^

A fellow teacher had an hour and a half commute both ways. I told him that I would consider that adding 3 hours to my workday. 

^^A12^^

How about registering to vote? Fill out a job application?  Write résumé? 

But when you really think about it, we should all learn how NOT to pay our taxes  - meaning how to take as many deductions as possible.

I'm in favor of teaching children about every God there ever was and letting them pick one. Chances are they will opt out entirely.

^^A13^^

Machine Safety

I toured a factory where workers stood very close to very dangerous machines. My tour guide explained that to activate the machine the worker had to press two buttons that were placed on opposite sides of the machine thus making it impossible to cut off your fingers.

^^A14^^

Mining slurry collapse in Abefan, Wales.

56 years ago this week, 144 people, including 116 children, were killed when a mining slurry collapsed in Abefan, Wales, and submerged a primary school and several houses with 150 tonnes of coal and water. Gone but never forgotten.

*Everybody who hates government regulations should be shown images of disasters like that.

^^A15^^

When he asks "What's wrong" and he doesn't read your mind like he's supposed to.

God: I’ll just make it a combined food and air pipe with a little switch flap. That’ll probably work fine.

ON A SERIOUS NOTE


Roald Dahl's Heartbreaking Letter To Anti-Vaxxers

^^B1^^

A disabled 92-year-old woman making trench candles for the defenders of Ukraine.

 Nina Vladimirets from Vinnytsia and her mother Olena turned their own apartment into a "factory".

A bit of history behind the "trench candle":

^^B2^^

Just another thing that the Nazis say never happened.

^^B3^^


I spent half an afternoon touring that.

Sometimes I look at my kid and think “I made this!” and other times I look at him and think “I made this?”

FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY


I could have used one of those in my classroom.

^^C1^^

^^C2^^

What does that mean?

^^C3^^

^^C4^^

Yes, I've been that poor.

^^C5^^

He's fighting a real battle in there.

^^C6^^

^^C7^^

I cursed when my Green Bay Packers lost another game. My wife asked why they were so bad this year and I said, "Aaron Rodgers is just too old." She asked how old he was and I told her 64, then added he has to use a walker when he's not on the field. She had to ask Siri to find out I was lying.

^^C8^^

I blame it on the new toilet design.

^^C9^^

If by “new money” you mean it hasn’t been printed yet, yes, that’s me.

Security Guard: Let her have it.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


^^D1^^

^^D2^^

I knew a young woman who had a pig as a pet and even house broke it. But she had to be very careful about leaving any dope lying around.

^^D3^^

Bravo. Breeding a dog to have that many health problems is just cruel.

^^D4^^

My daughter spent her junior year in high school in Japan. She said that many people had dogs but they all kept them in cages. Anyway, that dog reminded me of that.

^^D5^^

I'm thinking it's just a regular car with a fiberglass body.

^^D6^^

I've never really thought about that even being necessary.

^^D7^^

Can anybody explain why there are so many beds?

^^D8^^

I've been asked to paint stuff like that but when I gave them the quote they always backed out.

^^D9^^

Glassworker's torch fueled with 5 psi propane and 20 psi oxygen

^^D10^^

Do you think the heat does that?

^^D11^^

Counterweight

When I worked on tall scaffolding I would raise cans of paint up like that. I used a sack of rocks as a counterweight then click it off until I was ready to lower them.

^^D12^^

It's a SPA. If you would have married a higher maintenance woman you would know this.

Aberfan was the fault of the National Coal Board - i.e. the government who were supposed to be regulating things.

i only ever find music in the background of videos or 90s style comedic sounds in videos from South America.. lol - Maybe they're culturally behind a bit? (As in comedic trends in NA) or it's just their cultural humour? no idea
