Leave it to the Irish….!

I found myself in a pub in Cork, Ireland. A group of American tourists came in.
One of the Americans said, in a loud voice, “I hear you Irish think you’re great drinkers.
I bet $5,000 that no one here can drink 20 pints of Guinness in 30 minutes.”

The bar was silent, but the American noticed one Irishman leaving.

No one took up the bet.

40 minutes later, the Irishman who left returned and said, “Hey Yank, is yer bet still on?”
“Sure” said the American, “20 pints in 30 minutes for a bet of $5,000.”

“Grand, ” replied the Irishman, “so pour the pints and start the clock. “

It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds to spare.

“OK Yank, pay up.” said the Irishman.

“I’m happy to pay, here’s your money” said the American.

“But tell me, when I first offered the wager, I saw you leave. Where did you go?’

“Well sir”, replied the Irishman, “$5,000 is a lot of money to a man like me. So I went to the pub across the road to see if I could do it.

Professor uses ‘feminist buzzwords’ to get entire passage from Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ published in academic journal

Peter Boghossian

A PROFESSOR is facing the sack after using “feminist buzzwords” to get an entire passage from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” published in an academic journal.

Peter Boghossian helped create a series of spoof academic papers to satirise a number of fields including what he describes as the “grievance studies” – including fields on gender, obesity and homosexuality.

The assistant philosophy professor at Portland State University in Oregon penned a total of 20 “intentionally broken” and “nonsense” papers with the help of two collaborators.

Each of one was deliberately ridiculous – but astonishingly seven were accepted by peer-reviewed journals, The Times reports.

Tom: I must save this link for individuals who reject direct observation and ask for peer reviewed studies!

A Note To The Truth Tellers

Apparently the two most dangerous things you can do are to help people and to tell the truth in the face of popularly held false beliefs. I have been guilty of both.

I had an amusing phone call this morning from a low toned individual. It’s interesting how low toned individuals try to bring you down but if you know the laws of life and universes you can take it as a compliment!

I share this for those friends on my communication lines who are on the front lines battling lies and ignorance so you can take a win when someone tries to invalidate you.

The gentleman who called me this morning said, “We’re on a different wavelength.” and hung up.

He did not introduce himself. (Ill mannered)
He was generalising, not specific on his point of disagreement. (Suppressive)
He did not give me the opportunity to respond. (Low confront)

So he was rude in not introducing himself, a coward on not wanting to identify himself and not allowing time for a response and wanting to be destructive by virtue of being someone who is not specific and wants to put others in mystery (the bottom of the scale).

So his only product was to make me feel validated for being on a different wavelength to and therefore unlike him!

Have a great day, truth-tellers!
