Duck!

poor georgie’s almanack:

This is Goofy.

When a map of the Americas is rotated 90 degrees we see a duck!

IF you don't take any medications don't read this

poor georgie’s almanack: 

Globalization alert. A new book estimates that 80% of active ingredients in your medications come from China and India.  (China RX: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine)

What if that’s fake news, what if the number is 90%?

My country doesn’t stockpile drugs.  Does yours? 

My country’s regulators don’t have enough funding to monitor all drug imports.  Does yours?

SERVICES

poor georgie’s almanack:

One obvious reason America’s health care, infrastructure, education, personal safety, etc., are way behind other modernized nations … their citizens and businesses pay more taxes, so they get much better government services.

 “Duh!”

 

The mechanics, or physics, or both of a pun

I do not understand a paradox.

I do not understand a quantum.

I do not understand cats.

I certainly do not understand physics, philosophy, electricity nor most heavy scientific stuff.

But, I do recognize a pun that deserves to be a classic.

My grandparents complained about the “dirty” vocabulary of their kids.  

My parents threatened to wash my mouth out with soap.  

Next thing I knew I was bitching at my kids’ language.  

And today, I swear, the little ones are just talking shit.
