Jerry you set me up,now i got the leprechans looking at me real funny.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-22-2015, 09:13 PM

Text me when they kidnap you and you find out where the pot of gold is. I'll come and get it.

I mean, I'll come and get you and it.

**144man** · 02-23-2015, 08:01 PM

The pot of gold lies at the end of the rainbow. But if you look up at a rainbow and mentally extend its arc, you'll see that it misses the earth completely. So the conclusion is obvious. The pot of gold is located on the moon.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-23-2015, 08:12 PM

John Kennedy once said that to America but when we got there, it was just a bunch of rocks...

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-23-2015, 08:17 PM

By the time anyone from the Moon lands here on Earth, rocks could be all there is left on this planet to greet them.

**144man** · 02-23-2015, 08:17 PM

But did they drill for oil?

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-23-2015, 08:23 PM

They won't arrive until after we've exhausted Earth's resources, and gone to the Moon in search of more there.

**arr&bee** · 02-23-2015, 08:31 PM

Umm about that moon trip,i have a base of operations there,yes there is a man on the moon and he rents from me.

**144man** · 02-25-2015, 06:20 PM

"Look what Man has done
Discovered the moon was made of stone.
I was so happy believing it was made of cheese
Or something for lovers to dream on...
...Genius, isn't he?"

[Genius I, Valerie Simpson]

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-25-2015, 06:59 PM

Success and failure define the difference between genius and madness.

**144man** · 02-25-2015, 07:15 PM

"Genius, isn't he?" is meant ironically. The sentiment is that in his search for knowledge, Man has destroyed the magic.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 01:26 AM

The magic is destroyed when the makeup is wiped off, the wig is removed, and the pretensions are dropped. It is destroyed when the cologne fades, the smile is not so quick, and the important dates garner no flowers or poems. But in some cases, all that happens and it no longer matters. That's when you find out what true magic is all about.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-26-2015, 05:17 AM

Yes, magic as pretence is for simple wonderment , while real life is for understanding.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 01:27 PM

Or as my friend Butch once stated so eloquently: "You know you're married when you're shaving and she has no problem with coming into the bathroom and using it beside you."

Uggghhh...

For the record, that never happened in my relationship but I appreciate it as allegory. Perhaps that's the reason why I'm still married and Butch divorced that woman more than 20 years ago.

**144man** · 02-26-2015, 01:45 PM

If I want to appreciate the beauty of a rainbow, I don't need to know that it is a natural phenomenon created by light being refracted and reflected through raindrops, or even that it is a sign given by God after the Flood that He would never again destroy the Earth in such a fashion.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 02:55 PM

Well stated. And if you want to enjoy sausage, it's best not to watch it being made. Researching the supply chain demystifies the end result and in my personal experience, it's best to maintain the illusion cast by the end result.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-26-2015, 05:20 PM

I like to take things on face value, especially bank notes.....

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 05:44 PM

Don't you want to know that trees are chopped, shipped to paper plants on trucks, mulched and pulped, bleached, processed, run through couch rollers [[pronounced 'cooch', BTW), smashed flat at the proper weight before being permitted to dry, cut and boxed, shipped to the printing facility where they have ink printed on them through specialty presses? The ink of course is derived by a method that consists of

And that doesn't even begin to explain to you how that bank note goes from a raw source to a finished good. There's so much that happens that we don't see or know about. It'd make your head spin just to realize inputs, outputs, aspects and impacts required to produce our final goods.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-26-2015, 06:04 PM

LOL!

Spring begins on Sunday, Jerry.

A good opportunity to get out for some fresh air...

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 07:10 PM

Not for us, I'm afraid. By the end of next week, we'll have had fewer than five days above freezing over the previous month.

And besides that, I find the role of intertwined supply chains to be remarkable. They're organic structures that constantly find ways to evolve, saving money for those who maintain each process while also permitting them to charge more. There are now companies [[like LG) who sell product that they never actually manufacture. They coordinate suppliers and outsource the production, so they only coordinate and make sure everybody gets paid.

Although I'm now confused as to why this excites me or has popped up in this thread...

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-26-2015, 07:32 PM

Ah yes, I think we had the same conversation last year, I now recall.

I'm following the Meteorological Office seasons :

Spring : March, April & May.
Summer : June, July & August.
Autumn : September, October & November.
Winter : December, January & February

That's not to say there won't be most unseasonable weather experienced in any of those four seasons.

Your para 2 : You're confused? The word which springs to my own mind is 'abstruse'. You're off on a little frolic of your own there, aren't you. Hope you've been microchipped. I still think some fresh air would be well in order...LOL

**Jerry Oz** · 02-26-2015, 08:28 PM

The last fresh air on Earth was bottled up some time in the 1950s, if I remember correctly. Perhaps I can find it...

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-26-2015, 08:41 PM

If it was exactly 1950, it was certainly a vintage year.

**arr&bee** · 02-27-2015, 03:16 PM

Are you two trying to pump new air into this post?

**Jerry Oz** · 02-27-2015, 03:34 PM

There was a waft of hooch floating into the discussion, so we just opened a door to let it clear out.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-27-2015, 07:13 PM

It would take a hurricane to clear out the waft of hooch around here.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-28-2015, 03:23 AM

I wonder what the half-life of hooch is?

**arr&bee** · 02-28-2015, 03:42 PM

Your calculator would burst trying to figure it out.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-28-2015, 05:08 PM

Well we wouldn't need a Geiger counter to see how strong it is so long as we have you around, cowboy.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-28-2015, 05:41 PM

There, I just knew I could hear something ticking....

At the moment UK bank notes are made from cotton paper. From 2016,they will be plastic.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-28-2015, 08:39 PM

The rate we are going, not too long after 2016 they will seem worthless. Certainly, the interest received at the current time is very small.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-28-2015, 08:46 PM

None of the world's currency is backed by anything other than the good faith of the government printing it up. We're all paying our bills with Monopoly money.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-28-2015, 08:47 PM

It's all relative values, and all of my relatives are more valuable than money.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-28-2015, 08:53 PM

I feel the same way. Fortunately, I don't have a need to borrow or lend, so my family reunions are relatively stress free affairs.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-28-2015, 08:57 PM

Family reunions are fun but, to keep them stress free, I do prefer that they are attended only by living family members.

**144man** · 02-28-2015, 09:10 PM

I have no interest in borrowing or lending.

**westgrandboulevard** · 02-28-2015, 09:15 PM

Well, I thank you for your time anyway, Mr. Bank.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-01-2015, 03:10 PM

We all have time. I'll thank him for the loot. If he gives me enough, I'll name a room in my mansion for him.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-01-2015, 03:47 PM

Make it your bathroom, and name it 'Natural Wastage'. It will stand as a memorial for all those hardworking, loyal bank staff members, who were actually dismissed whenever branches have been closed.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-01-2015, 04:34 PM

If he gives me enough for the house, I'll name it the 'Jerry Oz 144mansion'. I'm that kind of guy...

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-01-2015, 04:42 PM

We shall just have to wait and see if he's that kind of guy, too.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-01-2015, 10:52 PM

I'm thinking that he is. He can give me the money and then cook the books so nobody knows that it's missing. He'll feel better about himself if he does something nice for someone else as we enter Easter season.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-02-2015, 04:30 AM

I see you've given him at least a month's notice. Anything could happen in that time, so you might as well be positive with your hopes.

**arr&bee** · 03-02-2015, 07:08 PM

YOU GUYS NEED A LOAN?WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK,WHY I LIKE YOU GUYS LIKE STEPBROTHERS[adopted]NOW LET' S SEE AT [500%]INTEREST COMPOUNDED HOURLY,HEY I GOT WHAT YOU NEED..STEP RIGHT UP.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-02-2015, 07:29 PM

There's nothing of interest about that percentage.

Let the buyer beware......

**arr&bee** · 03-02-2015, 07:43 PM

Beware???west sometimes i think you don't trust me,i have your best interest at heart...now just sign right here,don't worry about the small print.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-02-2015, 07:59 PM

I prefer to wait until I hear the result of your court case.

**arr&bee** · 03-02-2015, 08:04 PM

GULP,NOW WEST THOSE COURT CASES CAN DRAG ON[I hope]FOR YEARS,WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT,I GOT YOUR BACK.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-02-2015, 09:48 PM

You have nothing to worry about, amigo. My cousin L'il Jinxie works for renowned attorney Johnny Cockroach. He can have your sentence reduced to 40 years minus time served if you're one of the first 10 callers on Thursday morning.
