Braveheart - William Wallace's memorial

The irony of material "freedom"

Here is a funny story told by one of my gurus. hundreds of years ago, during time of Arungzeb there was a lot of Hindu murti smashing. A priest, before being put to death asked the soldier, "Isn't it true that God is every where?" The solder repled, "Yes". So the brahmin said, "Then God must also be in this Sri Murti!!" To which the soldier said, "Except HERE, God is everywhere"

The aspiring psychiatrists from various colleges were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor, to the student from the University of Houston, "What is The opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the UH student. "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from the University of Texas. "Elation," said she. "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas A&M, "how about the opposite of woe?
The Aggie replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up."

A gent from Chicago was on a fishing vacation up north in the Wisconsin woods. He was out fishing on a lake in a small boat and not having much luck. He noticed a man in another small boat that was close by, open his tackle box and take out a mirror.

Being curious the man rowed over and enquired, "What is the mirror for?"

"That's my secret way to catch fish," replied the other man. "I shine the mirror on the top of the water. The fish notice the spot of sun on the water above and they swim up to the surface. Then I just reach down, net them and pull them into the boat."

"Wow! Does that really work?" exclaimed the guy from Chicago.

"You bet it does." was the response.

"Would you be interested in selling that mirror? I'll give you $50 for it." offered the big city gent.

"Well, okay." said the country guy.

After the money was transferred, the city fisherman asked, "By the way, how many did you catch this week?"

"You're the sixth."

A man named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with a pet dog he doted on. The dog finally died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, the dog is dead. Could ya be sayin' a mass for the creature?"

Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not, we cannot have services for an animal in the church, but there's a new denomination down the road, and no telling what they believe. Maybe they'll do somethin' for the little creature."

Muldoon said, "I'll go right away. Do ya think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?"

Father Patrick exclaimed, "Glory be to God! Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?"

A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a bottle. She picked it up & rubbed it, & lo & behold a Genie appeared.
The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.

The Genie said, " Nope, sorry. Three-wish genies are a myth. Most of us are just single types. I'm a one-wish genie.
So...what'll it be?

The woman didn't hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.
It will bring about world peace & harmony.

The Genie looked at the map & exclaimed: "Lady, be reasonable! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm, out of shape after being in a bottle for centuries. I'm good but not THAT good! Don't think it can be done. Make another wish & please make it a bit more reasonable."

The woman thought for a minute & said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, is great lover and gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful...and handsome.
That's what I wish for....a good man I can marry and make my life mate."

The Genie let out a long sigh, shook his head and said "Okay lady, .......Show me the damn map again!"

A bus carrying only ugly people is involved in a crash, and everyone on the bus dies. They go to Heaven. Because of the grief they have suffered, St. Pete decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise. They're all lined up, and St. Pete asks the first one what their wish is. The first person answers, "I want to be beautiful," and so St. Pete snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line sees this and says "I want to be beautiful too. Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while, but when St. Pete is halfway down the line, the last person in line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this man is rolling on to the floor, laughing his pants off. Finally, St. Pete gets to the end of the line and asks the laughing one what his wish will be.
The man eventually catches his breath, and says: "Make 'em all ugly again".

While visiting my mother in the hospital, I watched a lady who stopped in the cafeteria for breakfast. She set a piece of bread on the moving toaster rack and waited for it to pass under the heated coils and return golden brown.

Instead, it got stuck at the back of the toaster, and she couldn't reach it.  The woman next to her in line quickly seized a pair of tongs, reached in, and fished out the piece of toast.

I joked, "You must be an emergency room worker."

"No," she replied with a grin.  "I'm an obstetrician."

  Did you ever wonder?

The student replied, "BIG ones in the other direction."

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had the habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, He found his horse had been stolen.

He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.

"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?!" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

"Alright, I'm gonna have another drink, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"

Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another drink, walked outside, and his horse had been returned to the post.

He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say pardner, before you go...what happened in Texas?"

The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

Two little old ladies were attending a rather long church service.

A city councilman, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the lot below his house and built.

Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance. Mark and his
new neighbour had some great arguments about this as you can imagine - not great feelings.

The new neighbour had to drop the roof line - no doubt at great expense. Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some decorative vents on the side of his home.
Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate. He was told that there were no ordinances that regulated the size and shape of such vents.

When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they found...

A new Gurukul teacher was trying to make use of her newly learnt psychology courses.

She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, Little Jaspreet stood up.

The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Jaspreet?"

 "No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were.
The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.

 Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"

"HELLLOOOOOOO...," answered the blonde. "They're watch dogs!"

Notice: the pregnant woman is not so concerned about the effect of her smoking on the unborn child.

A friend had purchased a talking metronome while he was attending a conference in New York for music teachers. Before he and his son boarded their flight home, he hefted his carry-on bag onto the security-check conveyor belt. The guard's eyes widened as he watched the monitor. He asked what my friend had in the bag, then slowly pulled out the six-by-three-inch black box covered with dials and switches. Other travelers, sensing trouble, vacated the area.

"A metronome," my friend replied weakly, as his son cringed in embarrassment. "It's a talking metronome," he insisted. "Look, I'll show you." he took the box and flipped a switch, realizing that he had no idea how it worked, "One... two... three... four," it said. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As we gathered our belongings, his son whispered, "Aren't you glad it didn't go 'four... three... two... one...?'"

When my son was about six years old, he loved to wrestle with me before his nightly bedtime Krsna Book story. Once, when I came home sick and went to bed early, my wife intercepted him on his way to my bedroom. My wife explained that Pita (Daddy) wasn't feeling well and wouldn't want to wrestle.

"Oh, yes, he does," replied my son. "Because I asked, and he said it was the last thing he wanted to do today."

SATIETY, n. The feeling that one has for the plate after he has eaten its contents, madam.

Devil's Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce
http://www.online-literature.com/bierce/devilsdictionary/

.......more optical illusions and paradigm twists here:

SATIRE, n. An obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expounded with imperfect tenderness. In this country satire never had more than a sickly and uncertain existence, for the soul of it is wit, wherein we are dolefully deficient, the humor that we mistake for it, like all humor, being tolerant and sympathetic. Moreover, although Americans are "endowed by their Creator" with abundant vice and folly, it is not generally known that these are reprehensible qualities, wherefore the satirist is popularly regarded as a soul-spirited knave, and his ever victim's outcry for codefendants evokes a national assent.

Hail Satire! be thy praises ever sung
In the dead language of a mummy's tongue,
For thou thyself art dead, and damned as well --
Thy spirit (usefully employed) in Hell.
Had it been such as consecrates the Bible
Thou hadst not perished by the law of libel.
Barney Stims

Two little boys go into the grocery store. One is nine, the other is four.
The nine year old grabs a box of tampons from the shelf and carries it to the register for checkout.
The cashier asks, "Oh, these must be for your mom, huh?"

The nine-year-old replies, "Nope, not for my mom."

The cashier responds, "Well, they must be for your sister then?"

The nine year old says, "Nope, not for my sister either."

By this time, the cashier was curious. "Oh. Well, if they're not for your mom and they're not for your sister, who are they for?"

The nine year old says, "They're for my four-year-old little brother."

The cashier is surprised. "Your four-year-old little brother?"

So the nine year old explains, "Well yeah, they say on TV adds' if you wear one of these you can swim or ride
a bike and my little brother can't do either of them!"

"I'd really like a little brother," a boy said.

"Well," said the boy, "there's only so much I can blame on my dog."
