Be careful what you wish for...
Indeed, we have a term for 'politicians', scammers like Nigella Farage. Rant-a-gob.
Nigel Fabarge the backbench MP for Trumpland in the British Miss government is an example. No use to anyone except tool makers...
Anyway that is enough about Polly ticks and other vermin. 
Time for some excellent resolutions for today:
- To have a humour so dark even Maya, Lucy Fairy, and the Hell dwellers have a chuckle
- To do good to everyone, whether they like or not. [usual exclusions apply, terms and conditions may altar, all resolves are protected by Bodhisattvas R US. Statuary rights are not guaranteed to last. Full exclusions available on request, supposedly]
- To treat things as if they are people and people as if they need treatment.

Again I resolve to procrastinate more this year. But tomorrow I think I have things to do so maybe next week?

Re: Word Association Game
During the last supper, there was one wedge of cheese left. Jesus, being charitable, asked John whether he wanted it. No, no, replied the Apostle, you have it. So Jesus went down the list of all the other apostles, and all agreed he should have it. Then, a gust of wind blew out the only lamp, and in the sudden darkness a blood-curdling scream was heard. When the lamp was relit, Jesus’ hand was still stretched out towards the cheese, with twelve forks stuck in it…

Re: Funny Stuff
One night in Washington, when Nixon was president, there was a heavy snowfall. When the president woke up in the morning, he looked out of the window and saw a beautiful blanket of snow covering the White House lawn. He snapped out of his beautiful reverie when he noticed, written on the lawn in yellow snow, "Dick Nixon is an asshole."
The president got very angry and summoned the FBI and CIA. "I want that urine to be analyzed," he ordered them. "And I want to find out who the culprit is right now, without delay! This is top priority!"
Early in the afternoon a representative of the two agencies reported back to Nixon. He said, "We have tested the urine and we know whose it is. However, there is some good news and some bad news; which would you like first?"
"Oh no," said Nixon. "Guess you had better give me the good news first."
"Well, sir," said the man. "We analyzed the urine, and it is Henry Kissinger's."
"Oh no," cried Nixon, and then suddenly the realization hit him. "That's the good news? What could the bad news possibly be?"
The man answered him, "It was in your wife's handwriting."
