Don't get knocking ancient Chinese philosophy, those fellahs knew some shit .... :heyhey:

Man who wants pretty nurse must be patient


Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly.


Lady who goes camping with man must beware of evil intent.


Squirrel who runs up woman's leg will not find nuts.


Man who leaps off cliff jumps to conclusion.


Man who runs in front of car gets tired, but man who runs behind car gets exhausted..


Man who eats many prunes get good run for money.


War does not determine who is right; it determines who is left.


Man who fights with wife all day get no piece at night.


It takes many nails to build a crib, but only one screw to fill it.


Man who drives like hell is bound to get there.


Man who stands on toilet is high on pot.


Wise man does not keep sledge hammer and slow computer in same room.


Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement.


And Finally, Confucius Did Not Say. ..


"A lion will not cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood."

:P:P

I noticed today the very high temperatures being experienced in western USA and Canada. Lytton in British Columbia experienced 46.6C. Lytton is at a similar latitude to the southern UK. On the Australian North West coast in either Port Hedland or Port Dampier (I can't honestly remember which one it was, I visited both several times to load Iron Ore) I walked up the road from the berth to the town in that kind of temperature. I made two mistakes:

I didn't wear a hat, consequently by the time I got to the town I could see purple blobs and zig zags as my head overheated.
I stepped straight into an airconditioned bar, (like jumping out of a sauna and into a hole in the ice, only mad Vikings do that shit.)

The beer in the bar of course was about half a degree above absolute zero (that's how the Ozzies like it) which meant by the time you'd downed the first one you felt like a red hot chilli with an ice spike driven through its core. But ... after a couple or more you gradually acclimatise to this to the point you have a couple more.

After all this I stepped outside, it was like stepping into a blast furnace !! .... Needless to say, I got an air conditioned taxi back to the ship. :eek:

Saw this on Facebook and found it interesting:-

In 1964, Ringo Starr snapped a photo of some high school students who had skipped class to see the Beatles during their first trip to the US.
50 years later, the group reunited and recreated the photo.
