What's worse is that these bars/restaurants seem to think that filling the glass with ice generates more sales or something, because they seem to do it everywhere I go.
    Good one! By putting more ice in the drink, you get less of the product. It's almost like it's part of a scam to get you to pay more (bigger size drink) for less.

He loses his kids, his house, and half of his earnings and is then forced to pay support for his ex-wife and the children for the rest of his life. This would be the same thing as a previous employer paying his fired employee his wage the rest of his life. Absolute BS, I tell you. There isn't a chance in hell I'm getting married (no offense to those that are).
    Lucky I don't live in the US.



    EDIT: in view of the recent Hunk Thread for sexual equality, I petition for a Grumpy old Women thread to be created in the Tavern.

    When damn boars lift up the fences on our farm. Our sheep get out, my neighbors complain and I have to drop what I'm doing and get those damn sheep back in. Ready to sit in a tree and just shoot the damn pigs!

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Reality TV shows. You know the ones. Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island, I'm a celebrity get me out of here! et al. Why oh why would anyone, with more than two brain cells functioning, volunteer to watch this drivel is beyond me.

    Talk about dumbing down TV.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    When you call your bud who's having a party and make arrangements to show up after work, but after taking a bus and hoofing it to place, discover that everyone has already left the party. BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
