The Haircut ( From the mail box)

"One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.
       
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there were a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.

 The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

 *And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it."*

 "As Ronald Reagan said:  *BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!*"


         

The Cream Of The Crop: Tax Greenhouse Emissions Resulting From Food Production

A group of apparently very bright and no doubt well-fed researchers in Oxford University, England, came up with the idea to help saving the planet from the predicted horrors of climate change.

The solution: Price food according to its climate impact. This  ingenious move could save half a million lives and one billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

Don't be surprised if the  appropriate Nobel prize is already dusted off to adorn these specimens of genius sharing the planet with the rest of us ordinary people, many who already having problems eating three decent meals a day.

According to this inspiring assumption, by taxing greenhouse gas emissions from food production could save more emissions than are currently generated by global aviation, and lead to half a million fewer deaths from chronic diseases, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change.

Not surprisingly, there are sceptic, indeed nasty people out there that are not yarn-dyed with the researchers and their findings.

In fact, some are suggesting to 'follow the money'. Who exactly will be administering the expenditures of all this tax revenue, and who will be having their pockets lined by the same people? Sounds just like the kind of dirty dishonest scam that some people allegedly were mixed up and lined their pockets in the recent past.

Enough of this. Keep researching and remember, most of us still like to eat. Just like the able researches in the sanctuary of Oxford.

Trump won, so they are leaving the U.S.A.?

As a Canadian, removed from the excitement of the U.S. elections, I just learned that, "Lena Durham Cops Out on Pledge to Move to Canada"

Then, another headline pops up, perhaps sounding ominous if you are an American, "Amy Schumer Says Vow to Leave Country if Trump Won was a Joke".

Wow! I guess this comes as a relief to our American friends.

There are media articles with a list of other people who are determined to leave their country of birth because the outcome of the election, the country that gave them the opportunity to optimize their talent and to make a nice living for themselves.

Whether they stay or leave, that is their business and one should respect their decision.

The thing that bothers me is when people around me, young and old, are asking such embarrassing questions, right here in Canada ," Who is Lena Durham" or "Just who is Amy Schumer?"

On The Buses

                                                                
A man was riding on a full bus minding his own business when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breast-feed her baby.  

The baby wouldn't take it so she said, "Come on sweetie, eat it all up or I'll have to give it to this nice man next to us." 

 Five minutes later the baby was still not feeding, so she said, "Come on, honey.  Take it or I'll give it to this nice man here." 

 A few minutes later the anxious man blurted out, "Come on kid.  Make up your mind!  I was supposed to get off four stops ago!"

Tell The Truth And You Will Not Be Elected

Hardly a day goes by without someone saying something to the effect, that this or that politician is a liar, once elected did not do what He / She promised and is just another opportunist individual who would say anything just to get elected.

Thus many people get disenchanted with the political process because of the unfulfilled promises made by politicians.This is understandable.

Yet, this situation is mainly our fault. Yes, I am talking about the voter! The unpalatable truth is that those who aspiring to become elected representatives, simply would not be elected if they outline the truth. - The raw unvarnished truth.

We as humans, simply don't feel at ease with someone who tells us something we don't like to hear. Therefore thing will not change, unless we are able to face  reality.
