THE FOX FUR HAT and a simple misunderstanding

Prince Charles attended the grand opening of the new Garda Siochana barracks in Tinahely, County Wicklow in Ireland wearing a dark blue pin-stripe three piece suit and a fox fur hat.

After some speeches and various pieces of music played by a Garda brass band and a ribbon cutting, Prince Charles found himself sitting at lunch with Gwinnon Vaughan,the mayor of Tinahely and a few other local dignitaries. after the entrée and just before the dessert was about to be served the mayor coughed discretely and said ” your Highness thank you again for coming to our small off the beaten track town, but please forgive me, I must ask about the fox fur hat you are wearing”.

Prince Charles responded somewhat matter-of-factly.

“Oh yes”. “Well I was getting ready for my trip yesterday and my father, Prince Philip wanted to know if I could go sailing today I told him no as I had a grand opening at a Garda Siochana barracks in Tinahely.” “He simply said  Oh!- wear the fox hat”

ON ROCKS and HARD PLACES

Donald Trump is caught between a rock and a hard place. This wealthy megalomaniac is not only needy and childish, he is also an uninformed, clueless, bombastic, and unthoughtful idiot. He cannot go on campaigning (but of course he will) because he will remove any doubt if his supporters think this is untrue. His absence from further campaigning on the other hand will confirm the point.

ON BRITISH SPORTS:

• Football (Soccer) was invented to turn ruffians into gentlemen; Rugby was invented to turn gentlemen into ruffians.

ON THE JUST and THE UNJUST:

• The rain, it raineth on the just and also on the Unjust Fella’

But mostly on the Just because the Unjust stole the Justs’ umbrella.

ON MAGIC:

• The chief enemy of life is not death but forgetfulness and stupidity.  So to my dear friends I say, “You are not forgotten, you are not dead at least not in my own mind   or in my memories”
•  The key to a conscious and purpose driven life is to combine the three “I’s”.  These are, the intellect, intuition and imagination.  When all three of these work together the latent faculty for personal magic will function properly.

ON GOD

• When God made man, She was only joking!
• If you want to make God laugh, tell Her your plans!
• God is omnipotent. If that’s the case, when you are going up or down a ladder, is She in front of, or behind you?
• God didn’t create anything without a purpose, but bedbugs, flies and mosquitoes come pretty close.
• Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE STRANGE  CREATURES

• Women  for the most part want to be loved and men for the most part seek respect. How strange is it the when; men usually give their respect to women and women give men love.
• Having noted that, here’s something else that’s quite remarkable: When a woman feels loved, she wants or is open to sex. When a man has sex, he feels loved.
• Women’s thoughts are mostly guided by the heart; men on the other hand, just think with their dicks.
• Men who are bigamists must be crazy! Why on earth would you want two Mothers-in Law?
• They say that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach; a swift kick in the ass gets his attention too!
• A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

ON DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW

• Male point of view:    A woman without her man, is nothing.
• Female point of view: A woman without her, man is nothing.

 

ON RELIGIONS: THEY ARE VERY PUZZLING

• If all religions are correct in their beliefs and preaching; nobody is going to go to Heaven. Everybody is going to Hell.
• Accepting something on blind faith is irresponsible.It is your work to question. Accepting something because you are afraid of death is silly. You will die anyway.
• If Moses broke the Ten Commandments; maybe God should have given him Eleven:
• Thou shalt not get angry.
• Today an aged Catholic priest was murdered at the altar of his church in France. If he died because of his religion, God will welcome a real martyr into heaven. Jul 26, 2016.

 

ON POWER – SOME REFLECTIONS – according to earl Shorris

• In the city power walks; taxis are for those who meet the schedules of others.
• Those without power, wait.
• Power is the central position; it is not the center.
• The difference between a powerful man and a bully is the latter’s penchant for telephoning underlings at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon.
• The powerful man said nothing and all those in attendance knew exactly what he meant. Later, they could not agree on what they had heard.
• There is no power in a small room.
• The powerful speak slowly as if time were plentiful.
• When a powerful man asks for something, he is always brought something superior: an urn for a cup, a couch for a chair.
• Power is arrogated; it always truly belongs to someone else.
