Thought for the day

[noirua]

The local Vicar looked skyward and said "I'm thinking of joining the Roman Catholics as I am not working under a women Bishop!". His wife turned and faced him quizzically then she laughed and replied, "That's only because I'm the Bishop isn't it"? "Yes darling", he said, "really I've always preferred working under you all the time". Laughing hysterically they both went upstairs?

Take care if a few get together and command a situation and wish to sell. Then they accept an offer that is lower than you would expect, as they have other interests in what they would sell. You're basically stuffed by events and though all appear to lose, they in fact gain, having made deals that favour them alone.

Whilst you are in the lower es halons of life you may be disenchanted and look to higher and better levels. On getting there you will realise that people are generally the same but more devious, selfish, struck by their own importance and though there are the cleverest and most willing people at times they are hampered by dishonest politics.

Probably getting a bit too deep of late gg. Sometimes I forget these comments depress some more than others. I will try and lighten up a bit, only a bit however.
Far too many people seem to write books. Some books have got a lot to answer for.

They knock on your door to enquire of work and point out your roof needs it. How much? Just $50 to repair and all done. Thanks, go ahead.
Later it is pointed out that more repairs are needed and how important the work is for the coming winter. How much? Well, it'll cost quite a bit $5,000 dollars. What how much? Just for you, and as I've some slates over from the last job in my yard it's $3,900 just for you , tell know one.

There they are all fooling about and acting like idiots at the edge of a slippery precipice, "we're alright don't worry about us, mind your own business", they said, laughing and hooting out loud.

It came to pass that a great storm blew up and the rain fell exceedingly hard. They slipped and slipped and all fell to the great depths below. Angry and confused the great one fought, argued and blamed each other.

A while later they sat down and realised they must somehow concoct a plan to explain their positions and let the people, their citizens, bail them out from their disaster.

Money poured in by the billion and then the trillion. A few fell be the wayside as agreed, after all there are always a few to be sacrificed.

The investors suffered and who should help more now, well of course, the poorer shareholders will put in more and those who invest with us will be paid low interest rates.
It came to pass that the banks again entered the promised land and were hailed as Gods once more.

Short questions need long answers and long questions shorter ones. The fool is not always the one who has difficulty answering, so often, the fool it is who is asking the question.
