If you liked it then you shoulda put a string on it.
He reaches out with his trunk and grabs a branch. He attempts to haul himself in but the branch brakes and he begins sinking even quicker. The elephant begins yelling for help and a Mouse runs up "What's wrong Mr elephant?" said the mouse " I am stuck in quicksand and sinking to my Doom.please save me" the elephant replies " fear not, Noble pachyderm,," said the mouse:" for I will return forthwith with a method to your salvation" And the mouse ran off back into the jungle. The elephant tried to wait as patiently as he could, but minute by minute he felt him slowly being sucked down. Just as his eyes were about to sink below the surface he heard a rumbling and a large monster truck pulled up. The mouse jumped out ran to the back grabbed a rope tied it to the bumper and threw the Rope to the elephant. " hang on dear friend" the mouse yelled as he put the Roaring truck into gear. A few moments later the elephant was safely back on dry land. " o Valiant Mouse I am forever indebted to you and I thank you on behalf of my wife and children for my life" The mouse gives him a thumbs up jumps in the monster truck and Roars off back into the jungle.
A few months later the mouse is scampering through the woods when suddenly he realizes that he has wandered inquicksand and is quickly sinking. " help! Help! "He yells " I am in peril and fear this shall be my last day"
From far away he hears a loud" boom boom boom boom" and feels the ground shake. The elephant runs into the clearing and yells out to the mouse. "O mouse my dearest friend, what dread falls upon you this day?" The elephant asks " I too have fallen victum to this vile quicksand" says the mouse.. He reaches down into his pockets and withdraws a set of keys." Here my fine friend, take my keys and return post haste with my vehicle" " nay my Boon companion that will not be necessary". The elephant says. And with that he reaches between his legs and pulls out his penis. He unrolls it across the quicksand and the mouse grabs it by the head. The elephant takes a few steps back and pulls the mouse to safety. " I thank you kind sir for saving my life. I call our debt canceled"
The two shake hands and then walk off into the forest and different directions.
And the moral to this story is " if you're hung like an elephant you don't need a lifted truck"

I was lucky enough to hit a financial milestone, 130K for this year. But I paid almost 40K in taxes and bonus got taxed at 40%. Here is why paying this much in taxes upsets me. In Sep, I started looking for a family doctor, since mine retired 5 years ago. First, it was difficult to find a doctor that accepts new patients. Once I found one, earliest appointment I could get was in December. Seriously?
I recently had a baby and finding a pediatrician was a nightmare as well. We were really happy to find out, but after the first appointment I could tell why this doctor was still available. He didn't answer out questions, rushed through the appointment and generally not very helpful at all. Our main source of information is friends and google.
As Canadians, we are proud of our healthcare and social assistance. In my case, healthcare was a fail. My wife is on EI right, but it tops up at ~30K/year. With amount of tax I paid this year, I could have gotten a top of the line private insurance in US and covered whatever my wife is getting from EI.
Then, add the fact that things in Canada cost a lot more than in US. For example, a set of winter tires will set you back $1500, in US it under a grand. Why? How many times have you watched a diy youtube tutorial and then priced out the same items in Canada and the cost of the project is 20% more. Again, why?
Don't get me wrong, I am not ranting about paying taxes. I came from a low income family and financial assistance helped my family get our feet. But financial assistance is nowhere enough to help people in need.
I always thought people talking moving to US crazy, but I think I am starting to realize that its a better prospect that I thought.

As the boy is playing his games, he hears his mother's car pulling into the driveway. He runs to hide in his parents closet. His mother is carried into the room by her secret lover and through the crack in the closet door, the boy witnesses everything.
The fathers car pulls up in the driveway a little while later and the mother and lover immediately stop, kiss, and frantically throw their clothes back on and the mother shoves the lover into the closet where the boy is hiding.
The boy says, "Dark in here, huh?"
The lover, taken aback for a bit composes himself and whispers back, "Yep."
The boy says, "I have a baseball bat, you know."
"That's nice.." says the lover
"I'll sell it to you for 500 bucks."
"No thanks, kid. Shhh"
"I saw everything, I'll yell for my dad if you don't buy it."
"..okay okay" and he forks over the money"
A few days later the boy skips school again, and again the mother pulls into the driveway with her lover. So the boy runs to hide in the closet and sees everything again. The father pulls up and again the lover is shoved into the closet to hide.
"Dark in here, huh?" Whispers the boy.
"Shit.." says the lover.
"I got a 500 dollar baseball glove... I'll yell for my da-"
Before the boy can continue his threat, the lover forks over another 500 bucks for the glove.
A few days later, the father asks the boy if he would like to go outside and play baseball. The boy says, " I can't Dad, I sold my baseball bat and glove for 1,000 bucks."
"But son!!" Begins the father, upset. "You know those things weren't worth that much!! You must've scammed someone out of their money. I'm taking you straight to the church so you can confess your sin to the priest."
He takes his son straight to the church and the boy walks into the confession booth. "Dark in here, huh?" Says the boy.
"Cut the shit, kid. You're in my closet now." Says the priest.

A gorgeous young stewardess comes by and asks the guy and the duck if they would like anything to drink.
"I would like a cup of coffee, please," says the guy.
"And I'd like a can of beer, you ugly pig!" shouts the duck.
The stewardess goes and gets a can of beer for the duck. But she is so shaken by the duck's rudeness that she forgets the guy's coffee.
When the stewardess comes back and gives the beer to the duck, the guy notices that she has forgotten his coffee. "Excuse me," he says politely. "I ordered a cup of coffee, but you seem to have forgotten it."
"Yea, you piece of s**t!" yells the duck. "And bring me another beer, you stupid f**king mule!"
The stewardess walks away, thinking about how the duck is swearing now. Once again, she remembers the beer but forgets the coffee.
When the stewardess comes back, the guy figures that if rudeness and swearing have gotten the duck what he wants, maybe it will also get him what he wants. "Listen, you dumb f**king b**ch", he says. "Twice I've ordered a coffee, and twice you've forgotten my coffee. Now bring me my coffee, you fat cow!"
The stewardess loses her patience. She grabs the guy and the duck out of their seats. Then, with one powerful kick, she kicks open the emergency exit and throws the guy and the duck out of the plane.
As they are falling, the duck says to the guy, "You know, you have a pretty big mouth for a guy who can't fly."
And St. Peter said, "Well, I checked you out, and you meet all of the qualifications. But there’s one problem."
"We have some tough zoning laws up here, and we keep all of the oil prospectors over in that pen. And as you can see, it is absolutely chock-full. There is no room for you.’"
And the prospector said, "Do you mind if I just say four words?"
St. Peter said, "No harm in that."
So the prospector cupped his hands and yells out, "Oil discovered in hell!"
And of course, the lock comes off the cage and all of the oil prospectors start heading right straight down.
St. Peter said, "That’s a pretty slick trick. So," he says, "go on in, make yourself at home. All the room in the world."
The prospector paused for a minute, then said, "No, I think I’ll go along with the rest of the boys. There might be some truth to that rumor after all."

"How wonderful! I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happened to your first husband?"
"He ate poisonous mushrooms and died."
"Oh, how tragic! What about your second husband?"
"He ate poisonous mushrooms too, and died."
"Oh, how terrible!
I'm almost afraid to ask you about your third husband."
"He died of a broken neck."
"A broken neck?"
"He wouldn't eat the mushrooms."

Be careful about drunk driving as we are getting close to Christmas and police are out there checking on people.
Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing led to another and I had a few too many cocktails and then went onto the wine. Not a good idea.
Knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave my car at the bar and took a bus home. Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint where they were pulling over drivers and performing breathalyzer tests.
Because I was in a bus they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a bus before and I am not even sure where I got it from
The zoo administrator was in a bind. There was just no money to transport in a male gorilla for mating to take place. So he decided humans where close enough to gorillas. Someone would have to fuck the gorilla.
After going through all options, offering as much money as the zoo could afford, he approached the weird janitor Hank about it.
“Hank, we need someone to fuck this gorilla. I know it’s weird, but, hey, $500. What do you think?”
Hank thought for a long time, then nodded his head. “I’ll do it. But I need a few weeks to get the $500.”

I keep reading articles about how the birth rate is plummeting to the point that population replacement is coming into jeopardy. I’ve also read articles stating that the earth is overpopulated.
So if the earth is overpopulated wouldn’t it be better to lower the overall birth rate? What happens if we don’t meet population replacement requirements?

She cooked and cleaned for this couple everyday and after a few months, the housekeeper grew very close with the couple. One day, she tells them sadly that she is pregnant and not ready to be a mom and doesn’t know what to do. The couple offers to adopt her baby and everything goes very well. A couple years later, the housekeeper tells the couple that she is pregnant again and asks them to adopt her second baby. This time it’s twins and the couple adopts these twins too and a few months later to their surprise, the housekeeper tells them she is quitting the position and moving out. The couple is shocked and confused and asks “Why are you leaving us? What’s wrong?” The housekeeper answers “I’m tired! I never signed up to cook and clean for a family with three kids!”

Three engineering students are discussing what sort of God must have designed the human body. The first says, 'God must be a mechanical engineer. Look at all the joints." The second says,"I think God must be an electrical engineer. The nervous system has thousands of electrical connections." The third says, "Actually, God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Hello friends! We've been working hard on building Mimosa, and would love for you to try it! No signups required.
Facilitating brainstorming sessions can be a challenging and time-consuming task. It's difficult to keep everyone on agenda, engaged, and contributing. So we've built Mimosa to be the easiest way to facilitate a brainstorming session.
Imagine if a "digital whiteboard" and a "trello board" had a baby, but built with all the best practices of professional facilitation. With Mimosa, you can minimize bias by allowing team members to contribute anonymously before revealing their ideas. This ensures that everyone has a fair chance to share their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment.
Once the brainstorming session is complete, you can easily view and export the final results. This allows you to keep track of a meeting's effectiveness and share it with stakeholders.
But the real game-changer is our AI Brainstorming features and it's ability to turn your 1x team into a 10x team. It help generates and collaborates with you in your brainstorming session to help you come up with more and better ideas.
We're both scared and excited to hear all your thoughts, HN! :) Please do let us know any features or improvements you think we should make to help you in your meetings.
