    An Ode to Plurals

    We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
    But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
    One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
    Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
    You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
    Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
    If the plural of man is always called men,
    Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
    If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
    And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
    If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
    Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
    Then one may be that, and three would be those,
    Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
    And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
    We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
    But though we say mother, we never say methren.
    Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
    But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
    Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
    There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
    Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
    English muffins weren't invented in England.
    We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
    We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
    And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
    And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
    Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
    Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
    If you have a bunch of odds and ends
    And get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
    If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
    If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
    Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
    Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
    In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
    We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
    We have noses that run and feet that smell.
    We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
    And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
    While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
    You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
    In which your house can burn up as it burns
    Down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
    And in which an alarm goes off by going on.
    And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

    Good Mileage For A American

    A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
    Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer per year.
    That means, on average, Americans get 41 miles per gallon.  
    Good mileage!

    Overnight Running !

    Have you ever noticed when you use your computer first thing in the morning,
    the icons appear to be in a different place than when you left?  Have you
    sensed that something goes on if you leave your computer on overnight?  Well,
    when you go to bed at night and forget to shut down your computer, I think
    you ought to know what actually goes on.   For the first time, someone has
    captured what takes place after you leave the room:

    Adultitis

    What is Adultitis?

     

     

     


    Adultitis is a common condition occurring in people between the ages of 21–121, marked by chronic dullness, mild depression, moderate to extremely high stress levels, a general fear of change, and, in some extreme cases, the inability to smile. Patients can appear aimless, discontent, and anxious about many things. Onset can be accelerated by an excess burden of bills, overwhelming responsibilities, or a boring work life. Generally, individuals in this condition are not fun to be around.

    How many people have Adultitis?
    Unfortunately, because it often goes undiagnosed, there is no way to tell how many people are currently living with Adultitis. If we had to put a number on it, based on our current research, we'd have to say... a lot. It's certainly an epidemic. So whatever number it takes to qualify as an epidemic, multiply that by at least three. In comparison, Adultitis makes the Black Death plague of 1347 look like a trip to Disneyland.

    Who discovered Adultitis?
    Although Adultitis has been around for centuries, it has only recently been discovered and named by Jason Kotecki. The first breakthrough came when he made the peculiar observation that children rarely complain about being stressed and seem to enjoy life way more than grown-ups. Further research unveiled that the average four-year-old laughs over 400 times a day, while the average adult laughs just 15 times per day. At that point, Kotecki realized that he was one the verge of something big. He found that this discrepancy between children and grown-ups was not caused simply by a decrease in exposure to Saturday morning cartoons and knock-knock jokes, but by a real, debilitating disease he ultimately dubbed Adultitis.

    Is Adultitis lethal? What are the effects of Adultitis?
    Yes, Adultitis can kill you. Adultitis causes stress -- lots of it. And stress has been linked to all of the things that kill us, from heart attacks to cirrhosis, suicide to accidents. In fact, 75% of all of our doctor visits are stress-related. People who are relatively Adultitis-free tend to live much longer, enjoy life much more, and are less likely to have co-workers and family members go out of their way to avoid them. Adultitis not only causes stress, but it can be responsible for a loss of vitality, sleeplessness, anxiety, and in some extreme cases, the complete inability to smile. Obviously, it's a force to be reckoned with.

    How does a person contract Adultitis?
    There are many different ways in which a person can contract Adultitis. Here are a few known ways:
    • By being in close proximity to others with Adultitis for extended periods of time.
    • By sticking with a job that makes you want to poke your eyes out with chopsticks, regardless of how much money you make.
    • By ignoring your dreams to pursue the things that your mom/neighbor/society thinks you should do.
    • By regularly answering, "Because we've always done them this way" whenever someone asks, "Why do we do things this way?"
    • By habitually chasing the "next big thing" and consciously or subconsciously or trying to "keep up with the Joneses."
    • By habitually taking oneself too seriously, while neglecting things that make you smile.
    • By becoming a slave to what other people think, and masking your true identity from others.
    • By engaging in a perpetual deluge of activities that keep you busier than a one-armed busboy working at Applebee's on a Saturday night.
    • Some studies show that people who don't believe in a higher power have a much higher risk of contracting Adultitis.


    Can Adultitis be cured?
    It is rare for Adultitis to be completely cured, but it can happen. Typically, Adultitis is treated and brought into a controllable state of remission. Of course, the earlier Adultitis is detected in an individual, the easier it is to treat and control. With a steady, non-intrusive and ongoing treatment plan, most people can live productive, exhilarating, and relatively Adultitis-free lives.

    Why is Adultitis often undiagnosed?
    Adultitis goes undiagnosed for a variety of reasons. For one, adults are not usually able to discern whether or not someone has Adultitis simply by looking at him or her. (Ironically, children can spot an adult with Adultitis almost immediately.) Secondly, most of the physicians who are in position to diagnose and treat patients often have Adultitis themselves, which at best clouds their judgment or in worst-case scenarios, causes them to deny Adultitis even exists. Finally, up until now, we really knew very little about Adultitis. That is why it is so important that you get yourself tested, and help spread awareness to others.

     

    So Enjoy Your Dreams If/Whilst You Can............OK

    Ow and have a great christmas all...

    And Dont Get Adultitis ~ Get Better Each Year : )

    Satan's Temptations

    SATAN'S TEMPTATIONS

     

    In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and

    spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and 

    Woman would live long and healthy lives.

     

    Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums.

    And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said  "Yes!" And Woman

    said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And lo they gained 10 pounds.

     

    And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that

    Man found so fair.

     

    And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane

    and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said "Try

    my fresh green salad". And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic

    croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the

    repast.

     

    God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to

    cook them".

     

    And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped

    lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.

    And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

     

    Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with

    potassium and good nutrition.

     

    Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into

    chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt.

    And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his

    Children might lose those extra pounds.

     

    And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not

    have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried

    before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

     

    Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still

    satisfy his appetite.

     

    And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.   Then Satan

    said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And super size 'em".

    And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

     

    God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

     

    And then ............ Satan chuckled and created the National Health

    Service.

     

    THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

    After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word

    on nutrition and health.:

     

    1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer

    heart attacks than us.

     

    CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what

    kills you.
