Women

Today it's the International Women's Day. Hurrah for all women everywhere!


We like a bit of humour and Tumbleweed sent me a funny e-mail that fits the bill.

Thought you should know that the book "Understanding Women" is now out in paperback.

Here's a picture of the hardback edition:


In the light of recent shenanigans from right wing politicians and pundits in the US, all anti-women, anti-contraception, etc, American women need to have a laugh every now and then. Having a voice and being able to take charge of their own healthcare decisions doesn't make women Feminazis, prostitutes or sluts. On the other hand, men dictating what women can and cannot do with their bodies and making life very difficult for them regarding healthcare make these men "Chauvinistpignazis." It's hard to believe that these men live in the 21st century...

Austin posted this picture in the last thread. It says it all!


Thank you, TW and Austin.

Very brave!

Here's another gem from Mrsgunka:



Thank you for the laugh, Mrsgunka.

Good friends

ManxMamma sent me these charming pictures of two unusual friends. The deer visits the cat every morning in a garden in Harrisburg, PA. The owner took the pictures and the story has found its way into the internet...





Thank you, ManxMamma.

This priest never lies...

Tumbleweed sent me this joke:


An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest beside her,


'Father, may I ask a favour?'


'Of course child. What may I do for you?'




'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday. It is unopened but well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me? Hide it under your robes perhaps?'


'I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you, I will not lie.'


'With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.'


When they got to Customs, she let the priest go first.


The official asked, 'Father, do you have anything to declare?'


'From the top of my head down to my waist I have nothing to declare.'



The official thought this answer strange, so asked, 'And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?'


'I have a marvellous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'


Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next!'





Thank you, Tumbleweed.
