To make something foolproof
Is
an impossibility
Because
fools never fail to show

SEXUAL DUTY
Don’t
think of sex
As
purely being dutiful
When
the lights are out
All
women are beautiful
REWRITING HISTORY ONE FACT AT A TIME # 2
If there is one thing that irritates me more than
any other, it has to be historical inaccuracies in film and TV scripts.
Now I’m not talking about things like Braveheart or The
Battle of the Bulge or countless other attempts’ by the Americans to rewrite history.
No, the things that irritate me are the little things, the
small easy to verify things, the things that they just can’t be bothered to do
right.
For example, in the American hit TV series NCIS there is a
character, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo played by Michael Weatherly,
who, apart from being a special agent also considers himself to be a bit of
film buff.
DiNozzo is constantly either quoting from movies or is making
endless film references to accompany any given situation he is in or indeed crime
scene he is at.
In one episode he is drawing a parallel between his own
situation and that of the characters in the 1938 classic “Angels with Dirty
Faces” with James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Humphrey Bogart.
And the afore mentioned parallel would have been quite apt,
had he not made a serious faux pas, well I think it was serious.
He referenced to the fact that Rocky Sullivan and Jerry
Connolly grew up as tough kids in Hell's Kitchen, the toughest part of New
York, and their destinies were set when Rocky got sent to reform school and
Jerry escaped the law and went on to becomes a priest.
So far so good, but where DiNozzo went wrong was to say that
the Father Connolly character was played by Bogey (Humphrey Bogart), who was in
the film, when he was in fact played by Pat O'Brien.
Quite unforgivable when DiNozzo is supposed to be an
aficionado of film.
THE PRICE OF PROSTHETIC LIMBS
The price of prosthetic limbs,
Unless you opt for the peg,
Is absolutely astronomical,
They cost an arm and a leg
NO FAIR
Life
is indeed grossly unfair
Now
I’m older and still have my wits
I’ve
finally got me head together
And
my body is now falling to bits
LOOKING PUZZLED
I
am puzzled most
By
things that don’t fit
Such
as “if all is not lost”
Then
where the hell is it
