  1. In a show of personal wit, three top students were competing in the classroom one morning to gain the status of who is the smartest and most clever.
    The teacher tried to work it out for them with a challenge to decide the outcome by asking each student to answer the same question using  three components in their answer.
    The first component must be the name of a fruit.
    The Second component must include something a person wears.
    The third component must include something a dog can do.
    The question is:
    Using the 3 components only, give the best description of an old person
    The first student was Karen, after a four-minute thought she replied:
    Raisin Coverall Bark with an explanation of raisin for wrinkles, coverall for the entire old person will be covered with bark being the skins texture: a definition of an old person.
    The next student was Adam, who was laughing at her stupid answer, and after only two minutes of pause his answer was cleverer than Karen’s which was:
    Prune trousers sit, Adam knew he had won with his definition of an old person.
    Finally, it was Johnny’s shot, and without a moments hesitation he shouted really fast:
    “Cherry Hat Tricks”
    Johnny aced it.

  3. At an art exhibition two women were staring at a painting entitled, "Home for Lunch".

    The painting was of three very naked, and very black men, sitting on a park bench. What was unusual was that the men on both ends of the bench had black penises, but the man in the middle had a very pink penis. The two women were standing there, staring at the picture, scratching their heads and trying to figure this out. The artist walked by and noticed the women's confusion. "Can I help you with this painting?" he asked.

    "Well, yes" said the one woman. "We were curious about the picture of the black men on the bench. Why does the man in the middle have a pink penis?"

    "Oh," said the artist. "I'm afraid you've misunderstood the painting. The three men are not African-Americans, they're coal miners, and the fellow in the middle went "Home for Lunch."

  4. Lazada do many sizes and combinations of rechargeable batteries.

    I'm sure a search will bring up a right combination for your replacements.

    Try a search for the name of your Solar light, may have a lead to replacement batteries.

    If you are feeling adventures try some DIY spot welding on suitable batteries with a kit from Lazada.

    So you think you know better than the military about the best way to shoot this down.

    So you think the military should never be questioned? A bit like Russia perhaps!

     

    I'm sure they had good reason for using very expensive missile instead of a few rounds of bullets.

    It would be interesting to hear from someone who actually knows about these things the reasons.

  6. Using a missile to shoot down a balloon seems like a bit of overkill.

    Surely a short burst of bullets would have done the job and the balloon would have come down slowly without damaging the instruments.

     

    As a point of curiosity I thought missiles needed something to guide and detonate them. Hot exhaust or proximity to metal, presumably neither of which the balloon had.

    Harry and his wife accused "someone" in the Royal Family of having concerns over how dark their child's skin would be i.e. racism

    This race thing is getting really stupid.

    If you had a ginger mate married to a Lady of Color, shall we say, and she was expecting a baby you'd all be down the pub making bets on what color the kid would be.

    Just normal, nothing racist about it.
