The next time anyone else questions you, please modify the topic and feel free to use this in reply:<br /> <br />LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE....<br /><br />An atheist (board member, on line chat administrator) was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."<br /><br />The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"<br /><br />Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death? (We're doing what we're doing, deleting your threads)" as he smiled smugly.<br /><br />"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"<br /><br />The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, " Hmmm, I have no idea."<br /><br />To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don't know shit?"<br /><br />And then she went back to reading her book.<br /><br />Thanks, NK!Ann_Boglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999407261486108269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21023072.post-67684280949856225842012-08-19T02:50:25.337-05:002012-08-19T02:50:25.337-05:00Re: story called "Solzhenitsyn Jukebox."...Re: story called "Solzhenitsyn Jukebox." Edits mentioned in comment are my edits. Microscopic. Okay, Marc Vincenz, you know, Tim VanDyke, at the Otherstream thread against me that Jeffrey Side started on August 1st, likened me to a baker at a fundraiser for the physics department. I said "fuck you" to him--my aunt and uncle were physicists at Oak Ridge--though I'd stated that I reserve the imperative use of "fuck" for whoever-they-are military who kill or dislocate or maim civilians. And then, anecdote, bell, whistle, Kate Zambreno, I relented, Jeffrey Side, and did not say "fuck you" in St. Cloud A.A. mtg. to the convicted pub assailant (who punched a guy), trained in Iraq to kill folks, people, Muslim folks, Muslim people? In A.A. there is no reason. The reason is booze. That vet was court-ordered. My friend with whom I attended that mtg. is a doctor, a woman. She sticks up for the Iraq War vets. I stick up for Vietnam War vets. I give the Vietnam disabled a little $. Haber is right. He says the military families are all confused. Who killed 1.5 million Iraqis? Saddam Hussein did it? There is also displacement. Today I lost a tiny silver screw that holds together my key ring. I repaired it after describing it as lost to a waitress who found it on the floor. Marc, if Amy King approves it, it'll go through Buffalo Poetics Listserv, where Jeffrey Side posted links to diatribes against Ann Bogle and Bobbi Lurie at his blog, that Clicquot (the kitty) was spotted in the FB photos of a banker in Asheville who is friends with a lawyer in Asheville, Robert Karriker, who wrote Carol's will that she signed. It is not as bad as being Douglas to the winds. He's pretty stalwart, as are you, if you mean it, that you like this story.Ann_Boglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999407261486108269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21023072.post-84104622778357985792012-08-14T17:05:18.033-05:002012-08-14T17:05:18.033-05:00Page views today:
