#12  I think the British are really asking for is a 0.50 Euro price for a kilowatt of electricity. I can just imagine the day when the US exports our $0.04/kW electricity by the tanker full.

#11  Ask for 'Candy.'

That's how I always remembered it too. One version I saw had "Ask for Ken". Thank you for the proofread, Angie.

#10  I always heard this a little differently.

For a good time, call 606-4311.

Ask for 'Candy.'

And reflect that whatever fortunes may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Sioux City.


See, now, on our radio, this was always "Milwaukee". (And "misfortune".)

#9  Deteriorata

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right,
But that three lefts do.
Wherever possible put people on "HOLD".
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you;
That lemon on your left for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls,
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face.
Carefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan,
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
For a good time, call 606-4311.
Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog
Is finally getting enough cheese;
And reflect that whatever fortunes may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Sioux City.
You are a fluke of the Universe.
You have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not,
The Universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore make peace with your God whatever you conceive him to be,
Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up.

#8  I can only listen to the BBC for five minutes at a time. This is the approximate length it takes to hammer "climate change" into whatever the nominal topic might be. It is one grotesque lie writ large and paid for by the public. Time for a mob with pitchforks.

#7  Most people are sheep. That is why propaganda is so darn effective when it is the only source of information.

There are just more people.

#5  Years ago, National Lampoon put it into perspective when it showed "poll results":

98% of Americans don't want another Hiroshima
96% of Americans don't want another Nagasaki
92% of Americans want their children to marry Smurfs...

#2  Also, when they're asked about raising taxes the respondent also assumes you're talking about raising taxes on other people.

#1  And morons they are.

Protecting the planet is important, that is IF you know what needs to be done.
