THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Meyran Kraus with:

Here is the last question for LAPD cadets:

"Eccentric computer mogul Jeff Briggs sat at the head of the table in his manor. To his right were his 5 sons, all with party hats in different colors (red, blue, green, yellow and pink), different drinks (vodka, soda, ale, tea and martini), and each seated opposite a stuffed pet (dog, fox, mole, hen and sheep).

Suddenly, the room went dark. A moment later, a shot rang out.

When Jeff's old butler turned the lights on, he was shocked. Jeff was dead, shot in his back. His sons were standing, their drinks spilled and their hats in a pile on the floor... next to a smoking gun.

When the cops arrived, the butler said he saw, in the faint moonlight, some man in a red hat tossing the gun to the floor. The sons, however, could only remember a few facts:

- Hans hated foxes. He loved ale, but tasted the hot drink next to him by mistake;
- Noah sat between Al and Ron, then tasted the vodka of a son whose hat wasn't green; His drink and the pet in front of him shared a first letter.
- Ron said the son to his left, who wore a blue hat, sat in front of a hen, and someone in a yellow hat sat in front of a sheep;
- Joe loved tea. The son next to him wore a pink hat and sat closest to their dad;
- Al, who hated martinis, sat in front of a dog.

Can you figure out who the murderer is?"

Now, many tend to untangle this nonsense by entering the random data into a table:

A few, on the other hand, did none of that and instead noted that: A. It's impossible to spot colors in the moonlight; B. The 5 sons were sitting when the lights went out somehow, and C. Father Jeff was shot from behind right after that, though his sons sat to his right. So the answer would be the butler. Those few tend to do well as detectives later on.

Of course, a lot of these may just be lucky guesses. It's always the butler.

A police officer arrives upon an evidently terrible rush-hour crash; driver and passenger were both dead. As he looks upon the massively brutal carnage a little monkey labors out unhurt; it hops near the car.

Somberly, he looks at the monkey and says, "If only you could talk, you adorable rascal." The monkey looks up at the officer and bobs his head up and down.

"You really understand me?" asks the officer. Again, the monkey bobs his head at the officer.

"Did you see it all?"

"Yes," motions the monkey.

"What's happened?"

The monkey pretends to have a can and turns it up beside his mouth. "They'd been drinking?" asks the officer.

"Yes."

"Right. What else?"

The monkey pinches his fingers together and holds them near his mouth. "Damn! Smoking marijuana?"

"Yes."

"Right. What else?"

The little monkey motions, "Screwing."

"Dear Lord! Screwing, too?" mutters the astounded officer.

"Yes."

"Let's see... they were drinking, smoking and screwing before they crashed?"

"Yes."

"What were you doing during all this?"

"Driving" motions the monkey.

Mickey O'Reilly walks into a bar when he is obviously very drunk and staggers up to the bar. Then he seats himself unsteadily on a stool and he orders a drink.

The bartender says to Mickey, "Seems you have had plenty enough to drink, but I can happily phone you a ride if you want me to."

Mickey softly scoffs. He climbs off the stool, and then uneasily staggers out. Just a few minutes later, he stumbles in the side door. He staggers up and he orders a drink.

The bartender comes over, again refusing service to Mickey, again offering to call a ride. Mickey eyes the bartender angrily for a moment and he shows himself out the side door.

Then a few minutes later, Mickey drunkenly staggers in through the back door. He then plops himself up on a stool, and he orders a drink.

The bartender reminds Mickey that he is entirely drunk so he won't get served. He then warns that he could phone the police instead.

Mickey looks at him and cries in hopeless anguish, "How many bloody bars do you work at anyhow?!"

An ex-Mafia boss lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was too hard. His only son Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. Hence, the old man sent a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,

I'm feeling pretty sad because it has occurred to me that I won"t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I"m just getting too old to be digging up a garden. If you were home my troubles would be over. I know you'd be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

A couple days later he received a letter from his son:

Dear Papa,

Don"t dig up that garden. That"s where the bodies are buried.

Love,

Vinnie

At two o'clock the next day, several FBI agents and police arrived at the man's property to investigate. Spreading out on foot in the unmown weedy field, the authorities busily pulled out the twisted brambles and briars in the area, and dug through heavily packed dirt, while onlookers viewed them from across the road. In weary dismay, they stopped without uncovering a single body down in the field. The main boss, a beer-bellied cop, muttered apologies for wrongly judging the old man.

That same afternoon the man opened another message written by his absent jailed son:

Dear Papa,

Go ahead, plant your tomatoes now. I did the best I could under the circumstances.

Love,

Vinnie

THE RULES: According to men.

Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it is up, just put it down, quietly.
We don't complain whenever you leave it down.

Sunday sports. It is much like the full moon, or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Shopping is NOT a sport. And we're never going to think of it that way.

Crying is blackmail.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help finding the solution. That is what we do.

Sympathy is what your girlie chums are for.

A headache that lasts more than seven weeks is an issue. See the doctor.

Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments
become null and void after a week.

If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

If something we said can be interpreted in two ways, and one way makes you unhappy
or angry, we meant the other one.

You can either ask us to do something, or say how you want it done. Not, however, both.=
Whenever possible, say what you have to during the irritating ad breaks.

Christopher Columbus didn't need directions. And neither do we.

ALL men see are limited colors. 'Peach' is a fruit type, not a color. We have no idea what 'Flame' is.

If we ask what's wrong and you immediately say 'nothing,' we'll act as if you mean it. We do know
you're lying, but it's not worth the hassle.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

If we go out any time, *anything* you wear is fine.

Don't ask what we're thinking, unless you're willing to discuss major baseball players, the shotgun
formation, my top monster truck, etc.

You have too many pairs of boots. I spot eighteen!

You have ample enough clothes.

I'm fit, in top shape. Alright, mine is round.

Thank you for reading this.

I know, I've got to sleep on the shabby couch tonight. But the fact is, we men don't mind that. It's
merely like camping.

Old Father Norton of the 2nd Congregational Church woke up Sunday morning, and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful early spring day, decided that he just had to go out and play a round of golf. So, he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling ill, and persuaded him to cover for him that day.

Just as soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed about 40 miles out of town to the golf course. This way, he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone who knew him from his parish.

Setting up on the first tee, he noticed that he was all alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everybody else was already sitting in church.
~
At the same time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord, looking down from Heaven at the green, and exclaimed, "You can't allow any pastor to engage in a falsehood to skip saying a church Mass!?"

The Lord assured him, "No way, of course not!"

Just then, a confident Father Norton hit the ball with focused accuracy. It flew swiftly through the air straight toward the flag, dropping just short of it, rolled up, and fell into the hole. A fantasy for anyone! A winning 420-yard hole-in-one!!

The Lord was astounded, "A classic shot, a beauty!"

Saint Peter was amazed, but confused. He asked, "I am curious, why did you let that happen?"

The Lord smiled, "How is he going to tell anyone?"

WHY WE SHOUT IN ANGER

The Hindu saint, while visiting the holy river Ganges to take a bath, found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at one another. He turned to his disciples, smiled and asked them, "Why do people shout in anger at each other?"

The disciples pondered for a moment, then one of them replied, "Because when we lose our calm, we yell."

"But, why should you yell when the other person is that close to you?" asked the saint. "You can very well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner."

The disciples gave some other answers, but none satisfied the saint or the other disciples.

Finally, the saint explained, "When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other, to cover that distance...
~
What happens when two people fall in love? They do not shout loudly at each other, but talk softly, because their hearts are so close. The distance between them is a hairsbreadth, or maybe nonexistent."

The insightful saint said, "When they love each other even more, what happens? They might murmur in a whisper, and they get even closer to each other, secure in their absolute infinite love. At last, they need not even speak in a hushed murmur or whisper; they only look at each other lovingly. That shows how close people get when they love each other."

The wise saint looked at the assemblage of his disciples and tenderly admonished, "I say, if you engage in a healthy argument, do not let your hearts be distant. Do not say harsh or ungracious words to distance each other further, or there will come a time when the distance is too great to find the path to return again."

[For the 1 year anniversary of Neil Armstrong's death, the poem Sonnet to the Moon is anagrammed into a sonnet that celebrates Neil in 3 different ways, detailed below:]

Sonnet to the Moon, Sir Philip Sidney

With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb'st the skies,
How silently, and with how wan a face!
What may it be, that even in heavenly place
That busy Archer his sharp arrows tries?
Sure, if that long with love acquainted eyes
Can judge of love, thou feel'st a lover's case;
I read it in thy looks, thy languished grace
To me that feel the like thy state descries.
Then, even of fellowship, O Moon! tell me,
Is constant love deemed there but want of wit?
Are beauties there as proud as here they be?
Do they above love to be loved, and yet
Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?
Do they call virtue there ungratefulness?

=
[Much like my tribute to Steve Jobs a couple of years back, this sonnet contains an acrostic (Neil A. Armstrong) and his famous quote ("That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind") - which itself draws the outline of a full moon, as displayed in this animated image:]

The Sweetest Pilot Who Touched The Heavens

No, Heaven's truest board of awesome worth
Evaluating deeds should not have fretted;
It never will receive a soul from Earth
Less worthy than the easy catch they've netted:
A wholesome knight that's still beloved today
And vowed to pay mankind one welcome service,
Respected truly for his small-town ways
More than this 'leap and step' on stony surface,
Shall join these giants, for he chose to be
The first of this one-in-a-billion crew.
Relieve this healthy Man of Piety,
Obey these ceaseless calls to let him through:
No birth upon this sphere - above it, too -
Gave us a buddy that was quite like you.

SYRIA: A POEM FOR HER
by Amin Astewani

Standing by my window
I gaze out beyond
And see gleaming tarmac
And pavements and cars

Standing by her window
She gazes out beyond
And sees blood stained rubble
And bodies and shards

I open the door
And inhale the breeze
I step onto the tarmac
In solitude and peace

She opens the door
And inhales the smoke
She steps over the bodies
In terror, no hope

I lower my head
In sadness and shame
How can I smile
When she feels such pain?

So I drop to my knees
And look to the sky
And pray for that girl
And cry, just cry..

POISONED: A CHAINED AND DOWNTRODDEN NATION

Late in the evening hour...
Embraced by sleep.
Atropine in your head,
Dreams had been deep.

Echoes in my room,
Razors in a cell,
Blasts in the dark,
A sojourn to Hell.

Satan's ascendancy
He haunted by banned gas.
Attaches to their skin.
Reasons must pass --

Hades wondered why.
A harsh wind as we awoke...
Filtered in his wormwood,
Envisioned to choke.

Zapping my energy,
A shortness of breath.
Lost by the dozens;
Anonymity in death.

Shuttered inside me,
Slipping from my grasp --
A doomed baby beside
Does one last gasp.

A Woman's Lesson
by Nancy Wood

A woman's lesson is a simple lesson:
Whatever life asks, answer with love.

A woman's lesson is a wise lesson:
Whenever conflict threatens, go forth in harmony.

A woman's lesson is an enduring lesson:
Whatever is taken from you, give back in generosity.

A woman's lesson is a gradual lesson:
Whenever there is a storm, remain a calm center.

A woman's lesson is a courageous lesson:
Whenever there is despair, sow the seed of hope.

A woman's lesson is a practical lesson:
Wherever there is dryness, go and get the rain.

A Man's Lesson

A man's lesson is a significant lesson:
Whatever a woman wants, most happily provide it.

A man's lesson is a behavior lesson:
Whenever she is depressed, offer her foot massages.

A man's lesson is a kowtowing lesson:
Whenever the woman scowls, get her a trinket.

A man's lesson is an attitude lesson:
Whenever she is critical, correct your own ego.

A man's lesson is a reality lesson:
Whenever your woman is careworn, acknowledge her.

A man's lesson is a lifelong lesson:
Wherever your woman shows a need, encourage her...stay in bed!

An award should go to the Virgin Airlines desk attendant in Sydney some months ago for being cool, smart and funny, while making a point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.

On January 13th, a crowded flight was cancelled after the airline's 767s had been withdrawn from service. A lone female attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced people.

Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way through to the desk. He slammed his ticket down on the counter and shouted, "Look, I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS".

The airline attendant replied, "I am sorry, sir. I shall be happy to help you, but I have to help these people first; although I am sure we'll be able to work something out."

The haughty passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that all the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

Without hesitation, the attendant smiled and reached for her public address microphone:

"May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please," she began - her voice clearly audible throughout the terminal.

"We have a passenger here WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him to find his identity, would you please come to Desk 14. Thank you."

With all the folk behind him in the queue laughing hysterically, the man glared at the woman, gritted his teeth and hissed, "F... you!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too."

Vic was playing, partnerless, on the front nine of a very complicated golf course and became confused as to what hole he was at.

Looking around, he saw a lady playing in front of him. Walking up to her, he said, "Forgive me; I've got rather confused - do you know what number hole I'm playing?"

She replied, "Well, I"m on the 7th and you're a hole behind me, so you've got to be on the 6th."

Vic thanked her and went back to playing.

On the back nine the very same thing happened and he approached her once more with the same request. She said, "I"m on the 14th, and you're still a hole behind me, so you've got to be on the 13th."

Once more, he thanked her and went back to playing.

After finishing the round, Vic went into the club house and saw the lady golfer sitting at the end of the bar, so he asked the bartender if he knew her. The bartender said she was a saleslady who played the course often.

Vic approached her and said, "I insist on buying you a drink to show my appreciation for your assistance earlier. I understand that you're in sales... well, I'm in sales also. What do you sell?"

"If I told you, you'd laugh," she grinned in reply.

"No I wouldn"t," he bantered, and persisted in asking her what she sold.

"Well if you must know," she blushed, "I sell tampons."

With that, Vic fell to the floor, laughing so hard that he almost wept.

"See I said you'd laugh," she lamented, regretting telling him.

"I'm sorry; that's not what I'm laughing at," he said; "It's just that I"m a toilet paper salesman, so... I"m still a hole behind you!"

MATCHSTALK MEN AND MATCHSTALK CATS AND DOGS
By
Brian and Michael

He painted Salford's smokey tops
On cardboard boxes from the shops
And parts of Ancoats where I used to play
I'm sure he once walked down our street
Cause he painted kids who had nowt on their feet
The clothes we wore had all seen better days.

Now they said his works of art were dull
No room, all round the walls are full
But Lowry didn't care much anyway
They said he just paints cats and dogs
And matchstalk men in boots and clogs
And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
He painted kids on the corner of the street with their sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates
To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin
When London started calling him
To come on down and wear the old flat cap
They said tell us all about your ways
And all about them Salford days
Is it true you're just an ordinary chap?

And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
He painted kids on the corner of the street with their sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates
To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

Now Lowries hang upon the wall
Beside the greatest of them all
And even the Mona Lisa takes a bow
This tired old man with hair like snow
Told northern folk its time to go
The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow

And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
He left us kids on the corner of the street with sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates
To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

THE SURREAL WORLD OF MR SALVADOR DALI
To commemorate that most potty of art's enfants terribles.

He painted strange, distorted themes
That most folk only see in dreams,
His odd imagination just ran wild,
Eccentric, non-conformal too,
He portrayed scenes that just couldn't be true,
And he had a rather bold, flamboyant style.

Most folk tut-tutted, "That poor bloke's mad,
His work's so dotty it must be bad,"
But Dali didn't care what most folk said,
They'd mock that odd, upturned moustache
And snort: "that crackpot has no class;"
He'd just retort, "I show what's in my head."

And he painted elephants with tall, kinky matchstick legs,
Contorted landscapes and a crouching man whose head's an egg,
And melting watches, a dark-red sky, a naked lady with stout thighs
And a topless woman with a loaf upon her head!

This former draftsman then became
Obsessed with cash, obsessed with fame,
But, nonetheless, his genius was real,
He was a mock-Renaissance cross
'twixt Van Eyck, Tintoretto, Bosch,
And he played a fool, but his art had mass appeal.

And he painted elephants with tall, kinky matchstick legs,
Contorted landscapes and a crouching man whose head's an egg,
And melting watches and stark-red skies, a naked lady with stout thighs
And a topless woman with a loaf upon her head!

Is he blessed in Heaven or damned in Hell?
What world he's in, I know full well,
It's not as strange as the world that filled his head.
A scary crackpot? Maybe so,
And arrogant clown, that's true, we know
Yet his memory lingers on, now that he's dead

And he left us elephants with tall, kinky matchstick legs,
Contorted landscapes and that crouching man whose head's an egg,
And melting watches, a storm-dark sky, a naked lady with stout thighs
And that topless woman with a loaf stuck on her head!
