Ο Γερμανός και η γκιλοτίνα!

Ο Γερμανός και η γκιλοτίνα! by onlinepress2 Το παρακάτω ανέκδοτο κυκλοφορεί στην Ευρώπη με αφορμή την εμμονική στάση της Ανγκελα Μέρκελ και του Βόλφγκανγκ Σόιμπλε στο στήσιμο ενός μηχανισμού δημοσιονομικής πειθαρχίας που παράγει ύφεση, σκοτώνει τις ασθενέστερες ευρωπαϊκές οικονομίες και θέτει σε κίνδυνο τη ζωή του ίδιου του ευρώ. «Στα χρόνια της Γαλλικής Επανάστασης, οι εξεγερμένοι συνέλαβαν τρεις ευγενείς: έναν Άγγλο, έναν Γάλλο και έναν Γερμανό. Τους πέρασαν από λαϊκό δικαστήριο και τους έστειλαν στην γκιλοτίνα. Λίγο πριν από τον αποκεφαλισμό, ρώτησαν τον Αγγλο για την τελευταία του επιθυμία και αυτός ζήτησε ένα μπουκάλι ουίσκι. Του το πήγαν, το ήπιε και μισομεθυσμένος έβαλε το κεφάλι του στη λαιμητόμο. Για καλή του τύχη η λεπίδα σταμάτησε λίγα εκατοστά πριν από τον σβέρκο του και οι επαναστάτες, τηρώντας τις παραδόσεις, του έδωσαν χάρη. Σειρά πήρε ο Γάλλος. Τον ρώτησαν για την τελευταία του επιθυμία και αυτός ζήτησε ένα καλό γεύμα και ένα μπουκάλι κόκκινο κρασί. Αφού έφαγε και ήπιε, έβαλε το κεφάλι του στην καρμανιόλα και ως εκ θαύματος η λεπίδα μπλόκαρε και πάλι. Οι επαναστάτες, μη έχοντας άλλη επιλογή, του χάρισαν τη ζωή. Στη συνέχεια οδηγήθηκε για εκτέλεση ο Γερμανός, ο οποίος όταν ρωτήθηκε για την τελευταία του επιθυμία είπε στους επαναστάτες με αυστηρό ύφος: Να φτιάξετε αυτό το μηχάνημα!»

Inner Wisdom Revealed 1. As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath. 2. I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. 3. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. 4. I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself, unless I want to stay employed. 5. In some cultures, what I do would be considered normal. 6. Having control over myself is almost as good as having control over others. 7. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of self-judgment. 8. I honor my personality flaws for without them I would have no personality at all. 9. Joan of Arc heard voices too. 10. I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me. 11. I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain. 12. As I learn the innermost secrets of people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet. 13. When someone hurts me, I know that forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit, but not nearly as gratifying. 14. The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things. Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

Dog Lovers You Know You Love Dogs When... You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard, but no small children. You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies. The trash basket is more or less permanently installed in the kitchen sink, to keep the dog out of it while you're at work. You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are nose-prints all over the inside. Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other. You refer to yourselves as Mommy and Daddy. Your dog sleeps with you. You have 32 different names for your dog. Most make no sense, but she understands. Your dog eats cat poop, but you still let her kiss you (but not immediately afterward, of course). You like people who like your dog. You despise people who don't. You carry dog biscuits in your purse or pocket at all times. You talk about your dog the way other people talk about their kid. You sign and send birthday/anniversary/Christmas cards from your dog. You put an extra blanket on the bed so your dog can be comfortable. You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your dog than go to the movies with your sweetie. You go to the pet supply store every Saturday because it's one of the very few places that lets you bring your dog inside, and your dog loves to go with you. You open your purse, and that big bunch of baggies you use for pick-ups pops out. You get an extra-long hose on your shower-massage just so you can use it to wash your dog in the tub, without making the dog sit hip-deep in water. You don't think it's the least bit strange to stand in the back yard yelling, "Emily, pee!" over and over again, while Emily tends to play and forget what she's out there for (but what your neighbors think of your behavior is yet another story). You and the dog come down with something like flu on the same day. Your dog sees the vet while you settle for an over-the-counter remedy from the drugstore. Your dog is getting old and arthritic, so you go buy lumber and build her a small staircase so she can climb onto the bed by herself. Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your dog.

1957...Remember? The following were some comments made in the year 1957: (1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00." (2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one." (3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous." (4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" (5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." (6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage." (7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls." (8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has either 'hell' or 'damn' in it." (9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas." (10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President." (11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now." (12) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet." (13) "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work." (14) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood." (15) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business." (16) "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress." (17) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on." (18) "I guess taking a vacation is out of the question now days. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel." Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

College Student A college student at a recent college football game challenged a senior citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand this: "You grew up in a different world," the student said, loud enough for the whole crowd to hear. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, man has walked on the Moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing ... and uh ....." Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the senior citizen said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them, you little twit! What are *you* doing for the next generation???"

Mistakes from the Press Rev. Hammond was congratulated on being able to get his parish plastered. His left thumb, which was shot away, is doing nicely. We've got fifty yankettes married into English nobility right now. Some of them are duchesses. Some are countesses. Eleven are baronesses. Only one is a lady. The font so generously presented by Mrs. Smith will be set in position at the east end of the Church. Babies may now be baptized at both ends. The church is now forming a Little Mothers Club. All women desiring to become Little Mothers are asked to meet with the pastor in his study after services. Dr. Gilbert Murray, O.M., will celebrate his ninetieth birthday quietly at his home at Boars Hill, near Oxford, tomorrow, with his wife, Lady Mary Murray. They have been married 66 years. This evening he is to broadcast in the BBC Home Service a talk called "Unfinished Battle." A loudspeaker system has been installed in the church. It was given by one of the members in memory of his wife. Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

More Oneliners When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked if I had any firearms with me. I said, "What do you need?" NASA reports that galaxies are speeding away from earth at 90,000 miles a second. What do you suppose they know that we don't? I asked my mailman why my letters were all wet... he said "postage dew". Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up. The only thing that wakes you up faster than coffee is spilled coffee. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water. Odd that when a house burns down, the only things left standing are the chimney and the fireplace. Only in America do we shop at places with limited parking, overpriced items, and long lines and insultingly, call them convenience stores. We're going to have a terrorist attack, but we don't know where or when. I think you could say the same thing about tornadoes. I went to see Pavarotti once and I'll tell you this much, he doesn't like it when you join in. How dangerous could a fax be, if the pen is mightier than the sword and a picture is worth a thousand words. My husband has suggested a candlelight dinner at home for our anniversary. Is he being romantic or just cheap? A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the lawn mower is broken. There are two types of roads in our country. One is under construction and the other is under repair. The president has said that inflation has been arrested. He should check . . . I think it's out on bail. The next time you pay your property taxes, remember every local politician who went to Hawaii on your dime. You know times are tough when the school system is recruiting school bus drivers in the lobby of traffic court. Yesterday is experience, tomorrow is hope, today is getting from one to the other. When life seems like an uphill climb, take comfort in the fact that you're mooning everyone behind you. Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge   Chapter One MR. RABBIT VISITS BARCELONA   Within the intelligence services of the Indo-European Alliance, there were a handful of bureaucratic superstars, people such as Günberk Braun of the EUIB. Hopefully, their identities were unknown—or a mass of contradictions—to the general public. The superstars had their own heroes. In particular, when people like Günberk Braun were confronted with the most desperate problems, there was a place to get help. There was a certain department in India’s External Intelligence Agency. It didn’t show up in EIA organization charts, and its purpose was happily undefined. Basically, it was whatever its boss thought it should be. That boss was an Indian national known (to those very few who knew of him at all) as Alfred Vaz.   Braun took his terrifying discovery to Vaz. At first, the older man was as taken aback as Braun himself had been. But Vaz was a fixer. “With the proper human resources, you can solve almost any problem,” he said. “Give me a few days. Let’s see what I can dig up.”     In downtown Barcelona, three days later:   The rabbit hopped onto the unoccupied wicker chair and thence to the middle of the table, between the teacups and the condiments. It tipped its top hat first at Alfred Vaz and then at Günberk Braun and Keiko Mitsuri. “Have I got a deal for you!” it said. Altogether, it was an unremarkable example of its type.   Alfred reached out and swiped his hand through the image, just to emphasize his own substance. “We’re the ones with the deal.”   “Hmph.” The rabbit plunked its ass down on the table and pulled a tiny tea service out from behind the salt and pepper. It poured itself a drop or two—enough to fill its cup—and took a sip. “I’m all ears.” It wiggled two long ones to emphasize the point.   From the other side of the table, Günberk Braun gave the creature a long stare. Braun was as ephemeral as the rabbit, but he projected a dour earnestness that was quite consistent with his real personality. Alfred thought he detected a certain surprised disappointment in the younger man’s expression. In fact, after a moment, Günberk sent him a silent message.   Braun --> Mitsuri, Vaz: <sm>This is the best you could recruit, Alfred?</sm>   Alfred didn’t reply directly. Instead, he turned to the creature sitting on the table.

Ἀπό την Χαρίκλεια

Ἑκατό χρόνια κλείνουν φέτος ἀπό τήν  γέννηση τοῦ Νικηφόρου Βρεττάκου.
Στήν μνήμη του , ἀς  θυμηθοῦμε τό θαυμάσιο ποίημα του  γιά τήν ἑλληνική γλῶσσα.
Τήν γλῶσσα τῶν ἤχων, τήν γλῶσσα τῆς μουσικῆς.

Νικηφόρος Βρεττάκος

Ἡ Ἑλληνικὴ γλῶσσα

Ὅταν κάποτε φύγω ἀπὸ τοῦτο τὸ φῶς 
θὰ ἑλιχθῶ πρὸς τὰ πάνω ὅπως ἕνα
ρυακάκι ποὺ μουρμουρίζει.

Κι ἂν τυχὸν κάπου ἀνάμεσα
στοὺς γαλάζιους διαδρόμους
συναντήσω ἀγγέλους, θὰ τοὺς
μιλήσω ἑλληνικά, ἐπειδὴ
δὲν ξέρουνε γλῶσσες. Μιλᾶνε
μεταξὺ τους μὲ μουσική.

Institution Criteria During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "Actually," said the Director, "A normal person would just pull the plug." "So tell me, do you want a room an East view or a West view?" Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It

Giving Out Years On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform.How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?" And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it." So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon   “Honey, you need to get laid.” Grace Alexander flinched at Selena’s overly loud voice in the small New Orleans café where they sat, finishing up their lunch of red beans and rice. Unfortunately for her, Selena’s voice possessed a lovely octave that could carry plainly through a hurricane. And it was followed by a sudden hush in the crowded room. Glancing at the nearby tables, Grace noted the men had stopped talking, and turned to stare at them with a lot more interest than she cared for. Ah jeez! Will Selena ever learn to keep her voice down? Worse, what will she do next, strip naked, and dance on the tabletops? Again.

Briar Rose by Jane Yolen   CHAPTER 1     “Gemma, tell your story again,” Shana begged, putting her arms around her grandmother and breathing in that special smell of talcum and lemon that seemed to belong only to her. “Which one?” Gemma asked, chopping the apples in the wooden bowl. “You know,” Shana said. “Yes—you know,” Sylvia added. Like her sister, she crowded close and let the talcum-lemon smell almost over-whelm her. Baby Rebecca in the high chair banged her spoon against the cup. “Seepin Boot. Seepin Boot.” Shana made a face. Even when she had been little herself she’d never spoken in baby talk. Only full sentences; her mother swore to it. “Seepin Boot.” Gemma smiled. “All right.” The sisters nodded and stepped back a pace each, as if the story demanded their grandmother’s face, not just her scent. “Once upon a time,” Gemma began, the older two girls whispering the opening with her, “which is all times and no times but not the very best of times, there was a castle. And in it lived a king who wanted nothing more in the world than a child. “ ‘From your lips to God’s ears,’ the queen said each time the king talked of a baby. But the years went by and they had none.”“None, none, none,” sang out Rebecca, banging her spoon on the cup with each word.“Shut up!” Shana and Sylvia said in unison. Gemma took the spoon and cup away and gave Rebecca a slice of apple instead. “Now one day, finally and at last and about time, the queen went to bed and gave birth to a baby girl with a crown of red hair.” Gemma touched her own hair in which strands of white curled around the red like barbed wire. “The child’s face was as beautiful as a wildflower and so the king named her…” “Briar Rose,” Sylvia and Shana breathed. “Briar Rose,” repeated Rebecca, only not nearly so clearly, her mouth being quite full of apple.   Copyright ©1992 by Jane Yolen (Continues...)

Three-legged chicken Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken was speeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing it turn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs. The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!" The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks." Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?" The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven't been able to catch one yet." Print | Comment | Tweet It | Facebook It
