FLYING FIRST CLASS
A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first class section of the plane. The steward rushes over to her and tells her she must move to coach because she doesn't have a first class ticket. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a
good job, and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."
The disgusted steward gets the head stewardess who asks the blonde to leave. The blonde yet again repeats "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good job, and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."
The head stewardesses doesn't even know what to do at this point because they still have to get the rest of the passengers seated to take off; the blonde is causing a problem with boarding now, so the head stewardess gets the copilot.
The copilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She immediately gets up and goes to her seat in the coach section.
The head stewardess asks the copilot in amazement what he said to get her to move to her correct seat. The copilot replies, "I told her the front half of the airplane wasn't going to Jamaica."
Cheers,
Paul (A.)

OH DEAR! THIS ONE IS OURS
From Kaili Joy Gray at Daily Kos:
Why from The Onion!
Thanks to Paul (A.) for the link, which he sent with the following message:
UPDATE: Thanks to AB for sending in the video with the story from Newsy.com.
This just in: Louisiana Republican Rep. John C. Fleming, M.D. is tossing his hat in the ring for Dumbest Member of Congress.Let's see what the gullible pro-lifer representative believes.
Dino Grandoni at The Atlantic reports that "pro-life" Rep. Fleming M.D. posted a story from The Onion on his Facebook page, offering it as proof that Planned Parenthood offers "abortion by the wholesale."
The satirical story from May 2011
Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible. [...]Where on earth did the congressman get this information?
Why from The Onion!
Thanks to Paul (A.) for the link, which he sent with the following message:
Louisiana is, however, responsible for this one.Ah yes. Though we are not responsible for state Sen. Shadrack McGill of DeKalb County, Alabama, Rep. Fleming is from Minden, Louisiana, so he is, indeed, our responsibility, and we must claim him, even as we blush for him.
Cheers,
Paul (A.)

THREE MONKS IN THE DESERT
Three monks lived as hermits in an isolated desert place. On rare occasions, the monks came together and broke their silence. One day, Brother Edgar said, "That was a beautiful white horse that passed by, wasn't it?"
One year later, Brother Paul said, "That wasn't a white horse; it was a black horse."
Another year passed, and Brother Silas said, "If there's going to be constant bickering, I'm leaving."
One year later, Brother Paul said, "That wasn't a white horse; it was a black horse."
Another year passed, and Brother Silas said, "If there's going to be constant bickering, I'm leaving."
AN ANNIVERSARY?
Lurking in the back of my mind is the vague notion that today is the anniversary of some occasion or other. Will someone remind what the celebration is all about? Thanks in advance. :-)

AND THE DIOCESE OF CANTERBURY...
...(surprise, surprise!) voted to adopt the proposed Anglican Covenant.
Lionel Deimel reports at the No Anglican Covenant blog:
Lionel Deimel reports at the No Anglican Covenant blog:
Unsurprisingly, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s own diocese has voted in favor of the Covenant and issued a press release to that effect. According to the diocese, the vote was as follows: bishops—1 for; clergy—26 for, 11 against; laity—26 for, 14 against. There were no abstentions.Well, if we can't win 'em all, two out of three ain't bad.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - WENDELL BERRY
Well, anyhow, I amFrom Given - by Wendell Berry.
not going to die young
Since I turned 70 in the latter part of the year before the book was published, the short poem is one of my favorites by Berry, who is high on my list of favorites of writers of contemporary poetry.
