Stupid Men

One of our regular patrons, a truck driver,

 entered the cafe where I worked

 and hobbled painfully over to a table. 

“What happened?” I asked.

 “I hurt my back at work,”

 he explained with a grimace.

 “Gee, I thought those rigs were equipped 

with cushioned seats, air springs

 and swivel controls,” I said.

 “The seats are great,” he confirmed. 

“It’s the ground that hurts…

I fell out of my truck.”

A group of blokes who always enjoyed their game of golf,

but one of the boys was having trouble seeing the ball.

 His friends kept telling him he needed glasses.

 Finally, he bought himself a pair

 and his game improved 100%

. Back in the club room they were talking over a few beers.

“You’re playing better since you got your glasses,” one said.

“You’re right, I look down and the ball’s

 as big as a basketball, just can’t miss it now,” he said.

After a few more beers, he said.

“Gotta go to the toilet, be back in a minute.”

When he came back,

 all the front of his trousers were wet.

“Gee, what happened to you?” his mates asked.

“Don’t know,” he replied,

“got in there, pulled it out and it looked too big for mine,

 so I put it back!”

Odds And Ends

-------------------

 A comely redhead was thrilled to have obtained a divorce 

and dazzled by the skill and virtuosity of her lawyer,

 not to mention his healthy income and good looks.

 In fact, she realized, she had fallen head over heals in love with him,

 even though he was a married man.

 “Oh, Sam,” she sobbed at the conclusion of the trial,

 “isn’t there some way we can be together, 

the way we were meant to be?”

 Taking her by the shoulders, Sam proceeded to scold her,

 “Snatched drinks in grimy bars on the edge of town,

 lying on the phone, hurried meetings in sordid motels rooms – 

is that really what you want for us?”

 “No, no…” she sobbed, heartsick.

 “Oh,” said the lawyer.

 “Well, it was just a suggestion.”

Meskel Square

 Addis Ababa

This is how a major intersection with NO white or yellow lines,

 NO directional arrows, 

NO traffic lights and No-one directing

traffic works.

In this time lapse video

, we see the intersection at Meskel Square,

 the nerve centre of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Watch out for the pedestrians as they navigate

 the seemingly chaos with apparent stealthy.

Driving or walking this intersection 

is not for the timid, patient or slow-thinking.

 No one with those limitations would ever get through.

Driving this intersection takes nerve and split-second timing.

The Pilot 

 Eric goes flying on a plane for the first time!

Eric is a chef at a college dorm. Last December, 

we were talking about superpowers

 and he said he wanted the ability to fly.

 He had never flown in a plane before

. The plan was to show up to his house at 8 AM on

 a Saturday and go "bowling." 

In reality, there was a small plane waiting to take us into the air.
