Cops have nothing to go on, partially loaded then reloaded saying that the image had been deleted, nothing to see here.
An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husband’s libido.
‘What about trying Viagra?’ asked the doctor.
‘Not a chance’, she said. ‘He won’t even take an aspirin.’
‘Not a problem,’ replied the doctor. ‘Give him an ‘Irish Viagra’. It’s when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won’t even taste it, give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went..’
It was not even a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress.
The poor dear exclaimed, ‘Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T’was
horrid! Just terrible, doctor!’
‘Really? What happened?’ asked the doctor…
‘Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye
and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!’
‘Why so terrible?’ asked the doctor, ‘ Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn’t good?’
‘Freakin’ jaysus, ’twas the best sex I’ve had in 25 years! But sure as I’m sittin’ here, I’ll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again.

http://shithappens-s.com/the-walmart-greeter-2/
So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day…. About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’ The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind or stupid?
So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am, I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart

Is there a creature that is naturally more amusing than an Orangutan?
A couple of AFP officers stopped at a property west of Canberra and talked to an old Aboriginal standing on the road. He told the old Aboriginal, “Morning sir, I need to inspect this land for illegally grown drugs.”
The elder reluctantly said, “okay, but don’t go into that field over there…”, as he nodded his head towards the location.
The AFP officer verbally exploded & said, “Look sir, I have the authority of the federal government with me!”. Reaching into his rear back pocket, the AFP officer removed his badge & proudly displayed it to the old Aboriginal. “See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want, whenever I want…………….on any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand mate?”
The elder nodded kindly, apologized & went about his business. Moments later he heard loud – fearful screams; he looked up & saw the AFP officer running for his life, being chased by a large Bull. With every step the Bull was gaining ground on the officer & it was likely that he’d sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old Aboriginal threw down his tools & ran as fast as he could to the fence & yelled at the top of his lungs…… “YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
This sea slug (Elysia chlorotica) is part animal, part plant. It has ‘stolen’ so many photosynthesizing organelles and genes from algae that it can produce chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants that allows them to absorb energy from sunlight.

Beetle Battles: The Secret World of Leg Wrestling and Abdomen Squeezing
This is the frog-legged leaf beetle (Sagra buqueti), and there’s a good chance those gigantic gams are his weapons.
Found in the jungles of Southeast Asia, this brightly coloured, iridescent species can grow up to 5 cm long. Unlike its namesake, it doesn’t use its hind legs for jumping, instead they’re used to cling onto stems and foliage while it eats, its grip aided by scores of tiny hair follicles that cover the surface of the leg. But there could be more to those legs than just grip, because look at the difference between the males and females:
The magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck an area of southern Pakistan on September 25th and there are at least 328 confirmed deaths. The earthquake was so powerful it caused the seabed to rise; now an island about 76-91m in length and jutting about 18-21m above the water lies off Pakistan’s Gwadar coastline in the Arabian Sea. The island formed as a result of the shaking, and was not uplifted by the fault; it is essentially a mud volcano. Though curious locals who visited the island could not smell any gas, they could hear the hissing sound of escaping fumes so put a match to the fissures from where the gas was oozing, and set it on fire. The fire took quite a bit of effort to put out.

Earlier this month an amusing police incident was reported in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard. Sometime last year, in the Austrian province of Lower Austria, a 35-year-old farmer and mother of two needed some work done on her farm, so she devised a rather creative way to get the labor she needed: she went online and solicited her services as a dominatrix. “Instead of providing pleasurable pain,” wrote Der Standard, “the men who had responded to the ad were put to work mowing grass while wearing rubber masks and stacking wood naked.” News reports prominently featured the term Arbeitssklaven, or “work slaves.”
At some point one of the men went to the police to file a complaint for fraud. A police spokesman stated, “We have identified two to three counts of illegal prostitution.” The police report refers to “15 submissive men,” one of whom apparently financed a roof extension on the farm!
Some wags commenting online in the Der Standard article thread wondered whether any fraud could truly be said to have taken place…. good point! Another commenter suggested that Ulrich Seidl, the Austrian movie director who recently completed an acclaimed trilogy called Paradise: Love / Faith / Hope that cast a particularly critical eye at Austrian life, may just have found the subject for his next movie.
The woman said that it was her husband’s idea.

Sometime last year, in the Austrian province of Lower Austria, a 35-year-old farmer and mother of two needed some work done on her farm, so she devised a rather creative way to get the labor she needed: she went online and solicited her services as a dominatrix. “Instead of providing pleasurable pain,” wrote Der Standard, “the men who had responded to the ad were put to work mowing grass while wearing rubber masks and stacking wood naked.” News reports prominently featured the term Arbeitssklaven, or “work slaves.”
At some point one of the men went to the police to file a complaint for fraud. A police spokesman stated, “We have identified two to three counts of illegal prostitution.” The police report refers to “15 submissive men,” one of whom apparently financed a roof extension on the farm!
Some wags commenting online in the Der Standard article thread wondered whether any fraud could truly be said to have taken place…. good point! Another commenter suggested that Ulrich Seidl, the Austrian movie director who recently completed an acclaimed trilogy called Paradise: Love / Faith / Hope that cast a particularly critical eye at Austrian life, may just have found the subject for his next movie.
The woman said that it was her husband’s idea.

It’s not very funny though really. It does seem that female sexual exhibitionism is considered suitable for shoving in people’s faces all over the media, whereas male sexual exhibitionism in public is rightly seen as vulgar & sordid.

I’m not shocked and appalled, I just think that porn should be kept in its own corner, out of the general media. And I don’t like the double standards applied to male & female exhibitionism.

As an artist, you probably should be more accommodating about different forms of self expression.
>As an artist, you probably should be more accommodating about different forms of self expression.
Self expression is fine, but if it’s of a sexual nature, please don’t shove it in people’s faces throughout the general mainstream media. And yes, I’d say the same in regard to exhibitionistic mardi gras parades etc.

An example of the double standards: with Miley more-or-less masturbating in everybody’s face throughout the mainstream media, this lady is still upset by Pee-Wee Herman having a quiet wank in the back of a dark porn cinema:

Witty Rejoinder said:

I agree it looks fake, but in answer to the question, impact of a moving object with a stationary object generates very high stresses as the momentum of the objects in contact become equalised, so a golf ball might well make an apple explode, since the tensile strength of apple is quite low.

Farmer Lloyd Olsen chopped off Mike’s head one evening in 1945 but missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact. Mr. Olsen decided to continue to care permanently for Mike, and would feed him a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; occasionally he was fed small grains of corn. Mike became famous, touring sideshows and also featuring in Time and Life magazines. Mike only died when he asphyxiated on some corn lodged in his exposed oesophagus 18 months after losing his head. A post-mortem revealed that the axe had missed the carotid artery and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Because his brain stem was left, which controls basic functions, Mike remained quite healthy.

No seatbelts in Star Trek Next Gen, either.

In the future heirarchy will be more naturally interpreted. Picard most obviously has the more distinguished hair and command voice. It will be understood that orders are easiest followed when delivered by a voice that emulates the paternal instincts present in children. Any attitude fostered by an individual that values loyalty etc., though still valued, will be seen as contrived and potentially unstable. Training will have developed to tap into instinctive learning curves that maximise the individual’s potential.

All very nice. Until you run u against other civilisations, who may not be so enlightened in their thinking.
Now, consider yer Klingons, for instance. Warrior race, with social hierarchy defined by trial-by-combat. If you’re negotiating with a bunch of thumpers like that, you need to be able to project individual authority. They’d see a subtle management style as a definite sign of weakness.
