  • WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? November 26, 2016
    Freud:       An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter) Hamlet: That is not the question. Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I’ll find out. Jack Nicholson: ‘Cause it (censored) wanted to. That’s the (censored) reason. Very practical answers, but for deeper meaning we must turn to: Plato:    For the […]

    Q and A are a couple of friends of long standing. Their sense of reality becomes a little warped after The Second Pint (there should be a link to a song here, but I haven’t written it yet), and they have to keep warning each other,’Don’t Go Beyond The Handrail‘.  (Yeah, it’s another link. I’ve […]
