Shift happens

Wow. All I can say is WOW. You gotta watch this YouTube video. If these statistics are for real, it is simply mind-numbing.

YouTube - A World Without Writers

This is a nice way to communicate the importance of writers in movies, and done with great, dry wit.

 

How many brutalized quotations can you figure out?

YouTube - A World Without Writers

 

This was sent to me by Miriam, a most talented writer indeed. Pass it along.

Richard Simmons Appearance on "Who's Line Is It?"

An instant classic. For those with modest views towards sexual humor, this may not be your cup of tea, but I found it really hysterical. Thanks to Amy for passing this one along. It starts out relatively innocuous and just gets funnier and funnier…..

Another Presidential Candidate Match Game - even better than the first one I sent around

Here is another take on the Match your views with the candidates survey. This one is actually a bit more sophisticated than the other one and spells out in more depth what each candidate’s views are. This one appeared in USA Today.

 

Here is the link: http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460 (or you can click on “Candidate Match Game” below.)

 

I must say, I guess I am a Communist. Because this time, my #1 match was Kucinich followed closely by Mike Gravel. These two led all others by a huge margin. (Fred Thompson still comes in dead last in this survey for me, like he did last time.)

 

So I guess I have to switch my vote from Joe Biden to Dennis Kucinich. Hey, how about a Kucinich-Gravel ticket. Wouldn’t that be wonderful, everybody?

The Three Bids

A fun one from Matt. - tj

 

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C. One from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third, Florida. They go with a government official to examine the fence.

The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000: $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000: $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."

"Done!", replies the government official.


AND THAT FRIENDS .... IS HOW IT WORKS!!!!!

UCLA Study

This just in from my sister Betsy. Fascinating study. Just fascinating. Your taxes hard at work. – tj

 

-----------------------

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his forehead while he is on fire.

No further studies are expected.
