A thing or two in daily potty.

wear nappies.”

3. One need not have a large brain to be a civil servant

servant.Scans of the 44-year-old man’s brain showed a huge fluid-filled chamber took up
most of his skull.French researchers say it left room for little more than a thin sheet of actual
brain tissue.”

4. They can profitably stare at the ceiling
The ministers have no work to do
Here ,there,and anywhere

Who sit in their chairs and stare.

they have no work to do.”)

It is true that poo is serious stuff

With a friendly public face

Is surely a cognizable case

Right in front of their place.

the man Friday afternoon after he reportedly relieved himself in front of the police
department.”

17. All the world is a stage ,all the men and women players
Without booze and fag
We cannot think of a bar
If we cannot have our bar
Without nicotine and tar
We shall deem our bar
Just Shakespearean theater.
All the world is a stage and
Men players says the bard.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot
Full of smoke and fury
Our lungs are black
Like Macbeth’s dark deeds
And all our yesterdays
Have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
“Bars in Minnesota are declaring themselves theatres to get around a public smoking ban.
The state ban allows actors to light up in character during theatrical productions.
So the bars are declaring themselves theatres and their customers performers, reports the Daily

Men are happier than women

Beethoven black and blue.

9. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.”)

25. The Spanish cows appreciate classical music and have a dim view of rock and
jazz
The Spanish cows have eclectic tastes
When they go about their lactation
But as cognoscenti they choose Mozart
Over rock and jazz without hesitation.
“The Chirigota farm on the outskirts of Madrid is using an innovative system to produce the best
quality milk possible from its milking cows.
The bovines are treated like VIP’s at this Spanish farm with the help of accessories such as waterbeds,
electronic brushes and sprinklers that have turned the complex into a five-star hotel for pampered cows.
However, the biggest influence on milk quality, according to the farm owners, is the use of music. It is
not any old music though, but that of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The placid harmonies
of the Austrian composer’s concerto for flute and harp in D major is played continually at milking
time. The music soothes the nerves of the Friesians.

26. Our company sucks but our rival sucks more
Our company sucks,in the core,
Our programs are such a bore

company’s annual meeting Thursday, saying he was just as disappointed as other investors in Sirius’

washing them on the weekend.The father of one says he sometimes gets another wear out of them on
Saturday”I wear them all week, don’t wash,” he said.
“I do wash them at the end of the week and I sometimes wear them out on a Saturday night when I go
to live theatre or wherever it may be.
“But nearly two-and-a-half years I’ve been wearing the same set of trousers.”
Business etiquette specialist Patsy Rowe has told the ABC’s Barry Nichols that Wayne’s case is deeply
troubling.
“I’m just a little concerned,” she said.
“This is a personal matter Barry, and I wouldn’t discuss it normally, about odour. One doesn’t like to
bring this up but is Wayne confident about his personal freshness?”

28. Porno reading is permitted for rape convicts
In prison you cannot read porno
And the law is very strict,
Unless you have at least one
Rape conviction to your credit.
“STOCKHOLM, Sweden –Convicted sex offenders in Sweden are free to read pornography in their
cells following a court ruling that has angered the prison service.
The Supreme Administrative Court in Stockholm last week ruled that the Swedish Prison and
Probation Service had no right to deny a rape convict access to his porn magazines.”

The police department has run out of two popular sizes of the custom-made navy blue uniform pants it
provides to every officer, a department spokesman said Wednesday.”

For the ensuing monsoon with glee.
(NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India, struggling to promote greater condom use among its population, is
looking to hire its own “condom man” to follow the example of a former Thai cabinet minister who
successfully pushed for safer sex, the Times of India reported.
National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) chief Sujatha Rao said that India needed to find
someone like Mechai Viravaidya, famous for getting Thais to talk about sex, condoms and
AIDS.Viravaidya became famous in Thailand as the “Condom King” for actions such as taking
condoms to World Bank talks as well as for the name of his Bangkok restaurant “Cabbages and
Condoms,” where condoms are a major part of the decor.)

32. Plunging necklines are not spiritually uplifting
They attend the mass every Sunday
Deep in their souls they ardently pray
Alas, plunging necklines have their sway
Over bodies making them an easy prey.
(“The Catholic Church has issued guidelines on what Filipinos should wear to mass in Manila after
some parishioners complained about distracting skimpy attire.
“This is to remind people that it would be good to come in appropriate clothing because other people are
scandalized,” said Peachy Yamsuan of the archdiocese of Manila on Monday.
“It is for the other worshippers who are distracted. You come to the church to pray and if your eyes
wander and you see inappropriate clothes, well, it does not add to your spiritual goals.”)

33. The women are self-sufficient and men should focus on their core competencies
The American women should be admired
For their self-sufficiency
They would prefer their men to leave them
To their own proficiency
And focus on doing dishes and vacuum cleaning
As their core competency.
“There was a new study out that said a majority of women do not have an orgasm from intercourse but
rather from foreplay, specially oral sex. A little over half of the women questioned said they only have
an orgasm during intercourse about 35 percent of the time as opposed to having an orgasm about 70
percent of the time when their partner does oral sex to them.
Even more interesting, women also said that they not only achieve an orgasm more often than not
when they are masturbating with a toy but the orgasm is usually more intense and they generally have
multiple orgasms when they are alone.”

They will jail a thumb-sucking toddler

When it comes to really touching in public places
Even if transactions are avoided in private places.

36. We now call her Joan of Arc
In our party we love intensely our madam
And worship her as Durga at kadam kadam
We are sorry she does not like it ek dum
We now call her Joan of Arc ,that is a lark.
She will now bless us profusely,please mark.
NEW DELHI: It could have been a sycophantic partyman pulling off the old trick to curry favour with
the leadership. But the man responsible for the projection of Sonia Gandhi as goddess Durga in a poster
in Moradabad had no idea that the Congress president would hardly react with divine beneficience.
With TV cameras repeatedly zooming on the poster at the Moradabad district Congress office, Sonia
called for immediate action. Moradabad district party unit chief Ajay S Soni was suspended.
(Kadam kadam means at every step. Ek dum means absolutely or suddenly)

37. Naughty ladies make innocent gentlemen blush
Innocent gentlemen politely admire female faces
Turning their gaze away from the interesting areas
Naughty ladies focus on men’s other areas directly
Making them blush severely in their under-pants.
(ATLANTA - Contrary to popular opinion, men are more likely to look at a female’s face before other
areas when looking at pictures of naked women, according to a study by Emory University researchers.
And women will gaze at pictures of heterosexual sex longer than men, the study found.
Both findings, published in the journal Hormones and Behavior, shed light on sexual attitudes that
really aren’t all that mysterious when considered in a scientific light, Emory psychologist Kim Wallen
said.”)

On Wednesday afternoon
So pronounced was the cleavage
In the candidates’ opinion.
“In Washington, where professional women’s style statements are pointedly conservative,
Hillary Clinton’s cleavage has suddenly burst into one of the hottest topics of the Democratic

Post fashion writer Robin Givhan took notice and branded it a “small acknowledgment of
sexuality and femininity.”

42. Naked people do not impress her much
This old man in the buff tried
To get her to look down there

monthly social event in which people roam downtown, stopping in art galleries and shops. Gallery
owner Suzanne Corsano was locking up for the night when she encountered him on a sidewalk.
“Naked people don’t impress me,” said Corsano, 60. “But to be walking down the street like that. I just
looked straight at him, and he looked down. He was trying to get me to look down there, but I
wouldn’t.””

nearby church.Rev. Neil Rhodes, pastor of the interdenominational Times Square Church, is asking a
state court to block a billboard company from posting huge ads that feature naked buttocks with smiley
faces on them. The display is to go up on two sides of the Broadway building that houses Rhodes’

“You walk into a church building, you have naked bodies before your eyes, how are you going to close
your eyes and seek God?” Rhodes told the New York Post in an article published Sunday.

47. If you have name with an “i”and smilie without reasoni you can be a beauty queen y
If you are really randy

With a name like Candi
And certainly not a disciple
Of Mahatma Gandhi.
“Have you thought about the field of competitive beauty pageantry? We have some photos from a
“school” in Bolivia that prepares young women for a long and rewarding career of tiara-wearing. If
you can smile for no reason whatsoever, and your name ends in an “i” even though it probably
shouldn’t - Bambi, Brandi, Randi, Candi, etc. - you may have royal potential. Think about it.”

Looked at men’s crotches
The latest reveals that they
Actually look at men’s eyes
We request them to make up
Their minds once and for all
Where they actually look ,
Whether on the eyes or crotches.
According to a survey by internet firm Buy Specs4Less.co.uk , while men’s obsession with women’s
busts makes their eyes inadvertently turn towards them before roving to their behind and legs, women
are more drawn towards a man’s eyes.
