The bartender asks the guy sitting at the bar, "What'll you have?" The guy answers, "A scotch, please." The bartender hands him the drink, and says, "That'll be five dollars," to which the guy replies, "What are you talking about? I don't owe you anything for this." A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to the bartender, "You know, he's got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration." The bartender was not impressed, but says to the guy, "Okay, you beat me for a drink. But don't ever let me catch you in here again." The next day, same guy walks into the bar. Bartender says, "What the heck are you doing in here? I can't believe you've got the audacity to come back!" The guy says, "What are you talking about? I've never been in this place in my life!" The bartender replies, "I'm very sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double." To which the guy replies, "Thank you. Make it a scotch."

Didn't he go bankrupt not longer after that at one point?

So I've been reading this book over the last couple of weeks. The arguments seem super solid and well thought out...... basically the bubbles are all collapsing in order and will end with the Government debt and currency bubbles popping. Basically.... don't be the last person out of the party..... Problem is ... when? I think we have all been nervous of the "national debt".... and it is 3 or 4 more trillion now than when this book was printed. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the book.... and what % of gold do you hold in your portfolio after reading this?

@James Thomas Rook Jr. until all of them learn to shoot bullets.... probably faster than you and they already outnumber you. Resistance is futile.

So ... what you are saying is that there is a Symmetry to numbers and math? :-)

It really doesn't look like all that much when you really start to look at it.....

The Spiders from Minority Report are real folks....

Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explains how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. See what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers." Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.

Jim was annoyed when his blonde wife told him that a car had backed into her, damaging a fender, and that she hadn't gotten the license number. "What kind of car was he driving?" he asked. "I don't know," she said. "I never can tell one car from another." At that, Jim decided the time had come for a learning course, and for the next few days, whenever they were driving, he made her name each car they passed until he was satisfied that she could recognize every make. It worked. About a week later she bounded in with a pleased expression on her face. "Darling," she said. "I hit a Buick!"

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, 'You know what? 'You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side.When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what Martha?''What dear?' she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.'I'm beginning to think you're bad luck...

I saw today that Bolivians are protesting something as well now.

"A federal appeals court in New York says President Donald Trump's tax returns can be turned over to state criminal investigators. The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came Monday. It is certain to be further appealed to the Supreme Court. The decision upholds a lower-court ruling rejecting Trump's lawsuit seeking to block his accountant from letting a grand jury see his tax records from 2011. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. sought the records in a broader probe that includes payments made to buy the silence of two women who claim they had affairs with the president before the 2016 presidential election.

We need a perfect caption for this photo..... contest begins now:

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt." If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

The ethics of the 4 day work week. It’s not just about the hours - “We should work to live, not live to work,” declared Britain’s shadow chancellor, who would reduce the standard working week to 32 hours, without loss of pay, within 10 years of winning office.

An Interview with Marina Sirtis from the Blu-Ray release of the TNG films.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah." The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."
