What is a Joke?

A crusty old Marine Corps Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event,
hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of
extremely young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached
the Sgt. Major for conversation.

"Excuse me, Sgt. Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is
something bothering you?"

"Negative, ma'am, just serious by nature."

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations.

"It looks like you have seen a lot of action."

"Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said,

"You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."

The Sgt. Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady asked him, "You know, I hope you don't take this
the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

"1955."

"Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking
everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955! Isn't that a little
extreme?"

The Sgt. Major, glanced at his watch.

"You think so? It's only 2130 now.

Hello Kitty: The Funny, The Weird, And The Horrifying

Image
Source: Hello Kitty: The Funny, The Weird, And The Horrifying Thanks to the marketing skills of Japanese company Sanrio, Hello Kitty’s cute-cat character has been going strong for 35 years and has become an internationally-recognized brand. One of the most diverse and unpredictable places in the entire universe, the world of Hello Kitty encompasses a vast collection of strange products that dazzle the mind and serve as material for an extensive list of noteworthy weirdness. Since there are thousands of Hello Kitty products in just about every category imaginable, it’s difficult to find the weirdest of the weird. Furthermore, many Hello Kitty pictures floating around the Internet are actually photoshopped fakes, so it takes some time to figure out what’s real and what’s not. Still, I managed to scrape together this list of examples that appear to be legitimate products. So, hold on to your seats and get ready to be entertained, disturbed, and maybe even sexually abused

The Most Enlightening Speech: What's Better Than...

Manila, Philippines -- This speech was delivered during the commencement exercises of the UP* graduating class of 2003 by Mr. Butch Jimenez, the youngest commencement speaker in the university's history.

Dr Lee Wei Ling - Why I choose to remain single

Sun, Apr 05, 2009 - The Straits Times My parents have a loving relationship, but I knew I could not live my life around a husband By Lee Wei Ling My father became prime minister in 1959, when I was just four years old. Inevitably, most people know me as Lee Kuan Yew’s daughter. My every move, every word, is scrutinised and sometimes subject to criticism. One friend said I lived in a glass house. After my father’s recent comment on my lack of culinary skills, another observed: ‘You live in a house without any walls.’ Fortunately, I am not easily embarrassed. As long as my conscience is clear, what other people say of me does not bother me. Indeed, I am open about my life since the more I try to conceal from the public, the wilder the speculation becomes. My father said of my mother two weeks ago: ‘My wife was…not a traditional wife. She was educated, a professional woman… We had Ah Mahs, reliable, professional, dependable. (My wife) came back every lunchtime to have lunch with the
