Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

A thought prompted by our current surfeit of water across Australia:

The greatest businessman in world history was Noah.
He kept his company afloat while the rest of the world went into liquidation. 🤔

His forward thinking produced one of the biggest money making platforms the world will ever see ...... forget about Ponzi schemes and pyramid selling, or property below the high water line ....... pest control
. Who would have had the foresight to rescue 2 ants of each breed, 2 cockroaches of each breed, mozzies, flies, termites, mice, rats, spiders, snakes ... the list goes on ..... so next time you slap at a mozzie, swat at a fly or are woken in the middle of the night in the motorhome with a mouse trying to get into the next cupboard through the walls, you can thank Noah and family for saving them and laying the foundations for such a multi million dollar business platform ;) :lol:

A Russian visits Switzerland.

In Bern he asks, "Hey, what's that building over there?".

A local answers, "That's our naval department".

The Russian laughs, "Really? What the hell do you need a naval department in a land locked country for? You people are funny".

Piqued, the Swiss man replies, "Well, OK, but you also still have a justice department in Moscow, don't you?"

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES:

Marry an Archaeologist.

And he'll understand when you get all "historical" in an argument :roll:
I had a G.F Once that I thought was a sheepherding historian, all the "you's" ( ewes) and "times" I'd supposedly done something wrong were brought up on a monthly basis.
Needless that relationship didn't last long.

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

Ignorance is Liberating
You're not restricted by facts or knowledge.
You're a Free Person and, as such, able to form your own conclusions.

They can both swim and in no time at all the cats would have made the excess dogs into floating islands that would keep them well fed and above the waterline until they had the remaining hounds dog paddle to dry land :lol: This is why the cats were worshipped as gods and we still have fleas ;) :lol:

"tanks" here---Terry,
I have sent you an email through the forum system that may be of general interest to you.

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.
