I am thinking of a dialogue between the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who (who was no more than two).
"Why Santy Clause, why? Why are you taking our Christmas tree?" "Because little girl there is a light on one side that doesn't light. I'll take it back to my workshop and fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here" -maybe not accurate.
But why, why? Why must you knuckleheads continue with this useless war? Aside from the entertainment value to some it does nothing but turn people off from this forum.
"The Dog and the Boy" by ME
A kid walking to school every day used to take a stick and run it along the picket fence to induce a dog to bark, jump up and down and basically go crazy. It drove the homeowner and the neighbors nuts. Finally one day the parents and school principal were contacted. The boy was caught and punished. He was no longer allowed to walk down that side of the street. And he never teased the dog again. The dog quit barking and everyone was finally pleased to not have to hear that dumb dog bark anymore.
Years later after the boy grew older and wiser he realized what a fool he was. That his mischievous and foolish behavior caused grief to others. And that the poor old dog never barked unless someone banged on his fence with a stick. The End
Would it have been too much to expect them to take a pencil sharpener also?
How about the Tupolev 144, not that the Yanks ever came close, that was another roaring Russian success story!
And the Irish coffee was invented by a group of delayed passengers at Shannon airport and the 'ski jump' for the Harrier aircraft was designed on the back of a (British) cigarette packet.
Precisely what has Australia brought to the developing world?
