These three statements tell you a lot about our government and our culture:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
And another statement for consideration--
2. We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.
Finally ..
3. The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever --- to 47 million people, as of the most recent figures available in 2013.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." The stated reason for this policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

While I personally find these funny and humorous to a certain extent, they are quite obviously political in nature and are therefore verboten by the powers that be on this board.
I would suggest no further posts of this nature.B-)
Okay, your doing pretty good. You might want to attribute it to Andy Rooney, or perhaps a well-known comedian, and spam it out to all your email distribution friends. Please don't pollute the beerleg community with it, though, if you don't mind.
I took one of my wife's multi vitamins with iron. It made for a lot of irony!
🙂

hmmm...that multivitamin must have had some vitamin E in it as well. That's the best way to make "iron-e" as far as I know. 😛
It's a sad commentary on our times that people have their butts so high on their shoulders that they cannot see humor for just humor without taking it to that other step.

Now that is ironic!
> " have their butts so high on their shoulders "
That's pretty funny. I'll have to remember that one!
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.

Haha..."Everything is changing...." It's also funny that that had to have been said before 1930 (when Will Rogers died). I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same....
I keep telling my grandkids that there is nothing new under the sun. Same old stuff, just a new name for it. Nothing changes, it's just cyclical. Like the climate.
"Please don't pollute the beerleg community with it, though, if you don't mind."

Couldn't have put it better myself, and I definitely wouldn't have put it as nicely.

Lessons in Irony>Speaking of Ironing 🙂
A plane is plummeting to the ground full of passengers. A woman jumps up and yells "I've never had a man or been made to feel like a woman! Will someone please make feel like a wife!"
The handsome man in 7F jumps to his feet, rips off his shirt and hands it her, "Here go iron this."

William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935)
It seems my memory correctly serves.
I know, 5 years, I am being picky. 😛
