We hear all about the long distance shelling and rocket attacks, but spare a thought for those Ukrainians and voluteers in the International Legion, fighting what is essentially trench warfare on the front line. Further details on the New Zealand soldier who was killed recently, doing just that, have emerged . Corporal Dominic Abelen, who was on unpaid leave at the time, was one of an estimated 100 NZ soldiers volunteering in Ukraine, and has been praised as a "fallen warrier" by a former Defense Minister. "Abelen had been fighting for Ukraine's International Legion on the frontline in the east of the war-torn country. In a joint operation attempting to re-take a frontline trench network during a dawn assault, Abelen was killed in a firefight with the enemy and died instantly, sources told NZ Herald. An American fighter with the Legion was injured during the assault and died shortly after."

That's no woman. You can clearly see his nuts.

An elderly lady arrives at the train station to find there is a ten minute delay. To pass the time she wanders around and comes across a Speaking Weight Machine. She steps on the scale and the machine says " you weigh 47kgs and need to use the ladies bathroom ". She steps off and sure enough the call of nature needs to be obeyed. When she returns she again steps on to the scale and the machine says " you still weigh 47kgs and in twenty seconds you will break wind ". She steps off and proceeds to leave when Phrumphhhh. Curious she steps on to the scale for the third time. The machine says " you still weigh 47kgs and with all this pissin' and fartin' around you missed your train."

Actual news article from a French paper:

I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again,Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time.
