Monday Morning's Irony

NEWS FLASH Stop the presses!


Today, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will give his first interview since the SHTF on ABC. I don't know what time.

For you performing arts aficionados, this is one production you don't want to miss. If you have the time and means to watch it, please critique his song and dance and make sure you share it with me. Thank you for your continued patronage to theatre and the performing arts.

And now for the irony...


Back in 1929 when the stock market crashed, many Wall Street bankers and stockbrokers jumped from their office windows, committing suicide because of the guilt they felt when confronted with the news of their firms' and clients' financial ruin. Many people were said to almost feel sorry for them . . . .

In 2008, that attitude has changed somewhat: fotochopped...

What religion is your Bra?


A man walked into the ladies department of Myer's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, 'I'd like to buy a bra for my wife.'

‘What type of bra?' asked the clerk.

'Type?’ inquires the man, 'There's more than one type?'

'Look around,' said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable.

'Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from.'

Relieved, the man asked about the types.

The saleslady replied: 'There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?'

Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.

The Saleslady responded, 'It is all really quite simple. .

The Catholic type supports the masses;
The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen;
The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright;
The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills.'

We all have strengths and weaknesses.


A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am,” replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."
