Hi All

Its Friday come round again - so here is another one.

I am at a particular spot on the surface of Planet Earth.

I walk 1 mile due south and 1 mile due East and 1 mile due North and arrive at the same spot where I started.

There are two places on Earth where this can happen.

Where are they?

Best regards

Mike T.

Queen's riddle

Barack Obama met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Obama frowned, and then asked,

"But how do I know the people around are really intelligent?"

Working from home is the key to efficiency

A lot of people have to do a job for a living, even if it means being exposed to a program of authoritarian propaganda punctuated by many different moments of frantic productivity. Beginning your own business kicks employers to the curb, but the trade-off is that you should be more than productive - you have to be super-productive. What is left for a lucky few workers is the telecommuting choice.

The six word story

M
Mike Testro 👤 Member for 20 years 5 months

Hi Gang

There is a genre in literature that tries to encapsulate a story in at least six words - I think it started way back with a challenge to Mark Twain to write a six word story - he scribbled down:

For sale bay shoes never worn.

I have two originals that sum up my life story:

Started with nothing - lost it mostly.

and one 4 word:

Going nowhere - still travelling.

Any more out there - if they are original then please declare it.

Best regards

Mike T.

Hi Gang

I think you know this category of As Much Use as ......

One of my favourites is As Much Use As a one legged man in an arse Kicking contest. 

And another very recent one - As constructive as a nude model at a Limbo Dance Contest.

Any more out there?
