A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the sunny Caribbean.

racocn8 comments on May 29, 2021:

A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?" The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills. The United Way rep mumbled, "Um...no." "--or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!" The United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..." "--so if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?" Lawyers are like enemas. You hate them until you need one, then you still hate them. A New York divorce lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. Saint Peter asked him, "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?" The lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street." Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true. Saint Peter said, "Well, that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven." The lawyer said, "Wait! There's more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified. Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?" Gabriel gave the lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter, "Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell." The one difference between a lawyer and a taxidermist. The taxidermist leaves the hide.

Another day, another UFO/UAP video confirmed by the Pentagon to be authentic.

racocn8 comments on May 28, 2021:

One might suppose that those who have used the Internet for more than four years would have learned how information is slanted into propaganda. But, that is not the case. The naivete of people may be measured by the lies they repeat, and their fervor while doing so. Israel is a thorn in the side of Islam. In particular, Saudi Arabia and Iran have expended vast sums to indoctrinate Muslims (and others) around the world of what a horror it is for Israel to exist. Bigots like Jimmy Carter even took to applying the term Apartheid to Israel. Jews and Israel have no shortage of enemies, and one might think that might have more effect on the quasi-woke social justice warriors. The truth is that the US comes from the same Christian culture that gave birth to the KKK, the Nazis and the anti-Semitic militias. The concerted propagandizing by Muslims against Jews has successfully spread still more anti-Semitism among the ignorant and naive.

racocn8 comments on May 19, 2021:

When a fleet of UFO's flew west from eastern Europe, NATO's SHAPE went nuts. The UFO's flew north into space, but not before forcing NATO to ask how to prevent such incidents from triggering WWIII. A report was developed and at least 4 species identified. In the absence of means to develop that information, one has to ask what source provided that tidbit. The Catholic Church is a likely suspect... This story has some basis in fact, but has not been confirmed. While Robert Dean checked out, it is also very possible that disinformation was generated to discredit the story. A supposedly faked document alluded to the report Dean referenced, but while it was disputed by the SHAPE historian, it displayed classified features denoting either authenticity or authoritative source.
