I dunno, my big toe is pretty good at it too. And my soles are great for finding lego pieces in the dark!?

INSURANCE

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot.
The doctor comes in and says, “Ah, I see you’ve regained consciousness.
Now you probably won’t remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway.
You’re going to be okay, you’ll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn’t find it.”
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, “You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don’t come cheap. It’s roughly $1000 an inch.”
The man perks up.
“So,” the doctor says, “You must decide how many inches you want. I understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out.
If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It’s important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision.”
The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.
The doctor comes back the next day, “So, have you spoken with your wife?”
”Yes I have,” says the man.
”And has she helped you make a decision?”
”Yes, she has,” says the man.
”What is your decision?” asks the doctor.
”We’re getting granite kitchen counter tops.”

Take Jury Duty

A worthy repeat from 2012… …still as valid today as it ever was, maybe more so. An informed jury prepared to find the accused not guilty if charged with breaking tyrannical laws is our legal and legitimate defense against tyranny.
A judge cannot find the accused not guilty of breaking tyrannical laws, only a jury can do that. And they can only do it if they know they can do it. So spread the word. Your freedom might depend on you having a jury of 12 good men and true who know their and your rights!

Take On The Corporations

Most of us would not knowingly, deliberately fund a terrorist organisation.
Most of us unwittingly do, every day, through the purchases we make.
To avoid this, take the following steps:
MAJOR TARGET:
To reduce the power (income, personnel and influence) of the multinationals and increase your awareness, competence and survival potential.
OPERATING TARGETS:
Become more aware. (Ignorance is never bliss. It leads to unpleasant surprises, often with disastrous consequences.)
Inform and educate yourself as to the way The System works and tread a different path.
Add your voice to the campaigns promoting sanity over vested interests, government power, tyranny and corruption.
Start by reading labels and understanding what is in what you eat and who is the owner of the business from whom you are buying.
Don’t buy things you don’t need.
Pay down your debt.
Get more competent at communication and selling and marketing.
Transition to a job that is on your basic purpose line. (Chances are it won’t be working for a multinational.)
PRODUCTION TARGETS:
Buy local, patronise mum and dad business and local farmers organic markets.
Have 50% of my weekly expenditure go to non-multinationals within 3 months.
Have 70% of my weekly expenditure go to non-multinationals within 6 months.
Make the time to make more of your own food rather than buying pre-prepared and packaged food.
Have 70% of my food made at home within three months.
Have 90% of my food made at home within twelve months.
Sell what you have that you do not need.
Clear out non-used items and garage sale or otherwise sell them – 3 months.
