Infertility can be inherited.

Mathematics is difficult. Five quarters of basic school pupils do not even know fractial numbers.

Happy weekend!

Some classics attributed to ex-Yankee baseball player Yogi Berra Jul 11, 2008

"Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

"He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."





Happy weekend!

Amy

In memoriam
Allegedly Irish Jul 11, 2008

"It wasn't as enjoyable as I expected, but then I never thought it would be".

"You can't get there from here".

"How to get to Lostville? Well, I wouldn't start from here".

Love,
Jenny

That actually happened to us... Jul 11, 2008

"How to get to Lostville? Well, I wouldn't start from here".


I kid ye not.

On a summer holiday to deepest Galway county, three decades ago nearly, we stopped an oul' boy and asked for 'the best way to get to such-and-such'...."Well, I wouldn't start from here if I were you." he replied, without a hint of irony.

In fact, if you'd asked him what irony was, he would have replied that it was similar to goldy and bronzy.

And speaking of daft things...did you hear the one about the Irish lamppost?

It p****ed on my dog.

360 degree turn Jul 11, 2008

Many years ago during the military dictatorship, when the economic situation was really bad, one of the admirals promised that the government was going to make a 360 º turn in order to improve things.

I know exactly what he meant... Jul 11, 2008

Kemal, surely they must have had their BACKS to the abyss
-- At least that is what the Danes claim about the time they were in the same position.

The Danes also have a political party, not in government at the moment... who claim to have their feet firmly on the ground (but their heads in the clouds according to others).
When in difficulties, they stand back to back and go forwards...

Oh my goodness. It took me about 1 full minute to get it... All 60 seconds my only thought was "Weigh' a minne'... Some'ing's not quite right here... not quite right... not quite right..."!!!

Great posting. Have a great weekend!
