It must have taken a lot of guys in baggy trousers to get rid of the spoil from the tunnel without the guards suspecting anything.
It should be obvious to most, and cryptic to only the feeble-minded. Maybe you should read the article slowly and out loud, in front of others; see how far you get before the laughter starts. Then you could join in. The posters following yourself didn't seem to have any difficulty in seeing the humor.
Love this. Greeks go 1-0 up in the 89th minute 'cos Archimedes has a eureka moment and decides to kick the ball. Que the Germans complaining to the ref: "Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside." Write that Russell ****ing Brand.
Perhaps I should be less cryptic & feeble minded. Is it not obviously clear that the statement in your original post - "...clearly, levels that some of the respondents can't quite reach" is what I was inquiring about for clarification ? You seem to be assuming, with further insults to boot, that perhaps myself & others saw no humour in the OP article. I would suggest nothing can be further from the truth. The story is laughable and shows pathetic incompetence. It would be illuminating to know how your conclusion for your statement (in bold above) was derived.
Sardonic humor almost always results in a "Whoosh" with North Americans. So the immediate sequitur is that you must be from Ull, and the relentless passage of the decades cannot disguise it. The funniest part is that the motherland Illiterati from south of the Wash think we are all the Great Unwashed Northerners, without the "great". Keep up the great missionary work!
I seem to remember posting a picture of a meal (Salmon, Avocado and Boiled potatoes) on here some time ago. My point was to show that (as OLM calls me) an 'old retired ditch-digger' could create a meal on a simple Weber Barbecue/Oven. It cost me the equivalent of 3 pounds 85 pence. In the restaurant it would have cost me 14 pounds 40 pence. Some crackpot mistook the boiled potatoes for eggs whilst you admonished me for having my knife pointing outwards instead of inwards and that you had sacked people for less. Yes, I would imagine the poor unfortunate person who's livelihood you took away for having the salt cellar touching the pepper shaker is now doing something much more useful like staring at a 'knarled' (sic) tree root. God f-bombing almighty.
Kinell Roo, I wish my memory was as good as yours. I can barely remember what day of the week it is. 'Tis true however that I insist on correct place settings at all times. Chiefly because it winds the Missus up, so. Little victories.
Oh Sh i t! I was going to send you this gnarled wood clock so everyone could just sit and stare at it whilst you told them the meaning of life. please log in to view this image Have a nice day Ernie.
Cheers Roo. I reckon that you'll find a market for those existential clocks. Try the philosophy department's of Aus' top Universities. They'll love 'em. One of my favourite HMHB lyrics: Give a philosophy student a glass of limeade And he will say “Is this a glass of limeade?” And “If so, why is it a glass of limeade?” And after a while, he’ll die of thirst.
