For breakfast on that day, I'd suggest giving him a BLT sandwich to see him off.

American prisons can't afford BLT. Bologna on dry white is the best it gets. And I don't think it is halal either.

Sorry Gary, I was being intentionally nasty. Bacon=pork & they intensely dislike pigs.

I'm aware or your snarkyness, but a lot of US bologna contains pork. Stuff like tomato and lettuce is far too expensive to be fed to prisoners. Bacon, which costs more than bologna, also requires cooking and that is increased labor cost as well as fuel. Think feed the criminal for under $1 a day.

On a more sirius note, he's you're problem now. Hope you give him his nice dessert as he's had a very long dinner here!

We have a nice hell hole prepared. I'm sure he'll do just fine in general population. About a week before he gets acquainted with the sharp end of a shiv.

Psychology 101

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates...

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

But shirley you understand that the best of humor has an element of truth in it and it give the author a way out of being held accountable, in the same fashion as some books have been written, like "Animal Farm." I laughed at your humor when I first read it. The problem is, nobody can tell what I'm laughing at. Am I laughing at the surprise ending (another element of good humor), or am I laughing at how you made fun of those who support things like larger government and their just rewards? Well, it depends on who you are and what your philosophy is on government and my decision on whether or not I want to show you I agree with you, offend you, or console you.

I was personally laughing at the end of the second paragraph. Reading further made me laugh even more.

Orwell was a socialist, and that ain't no joke. ;)

So was Jesus but you can't convince conservatives of that

Hey, I wasn't serious, or even Sirius, but please, don't call me Shirley.
By now, most of you should know that my sense of humour has no bounds, and takes no prisoners.

Yeah, I know, but MY reply wasn't serious, it wasn't even sirius

@BarryZ, I knew that Chris was serious! Ask me no questions & I'll tell you no lies!

LOL. Just trying to find my copy of the "Truckers Ode". You know what they say...."in for a penny, in for a pound"

I like it Sirius, and think I might try it when I come down to Cambridge then walk the streets. But it badge will be the The UK Badger Agency

Love it....make sure its the Westminister Division of said agency.

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I'd better not post the "Trucker's Ode" then, lest I get arrested for inciting racial hatred.

As for the HMRC, they are more than welcome to try & take me on as that joke came from the HMRC in an e-mail addressed to me as the person has a great sense of humour & is well aware of my propensity for pranks.

My response was not a joke reply. But as I appear to be in the minority, I'll happily take a back seat and you guys carry on.

Sirius, you thought Chris's reply was serious? It was a joke reply. Gosh, as someone in a brilliant mode wrote, As WE CAN NO LONGER have a laugh & joke, lets all join together & shoot the hell out of each other!

<SMILE>

I mean, after all, if you want to post serious stuff, post it in the Politics message board. Oh --- oops -- never mind.
