Chupa chups, apparently.
Now see what you've done. I won't be able to look at blind people without laughing now. Well at least they won't see me. ;-)

"Blind People?"
Were they coming to measure up the windows?

fresh wee open brains
My brain put a comma in the middle of that sentence, yuk.
Giovanni, well, the Italians can claim those biscuits with flies in them.
I recall, from when I were about knee high to a grasshopper, a question to the class in a history lesson.
"who was Garibaldi" my hand shot up
"He invented a kind of biscuit Miss"
there were sniggers around the classroom.
"No he was an Italian political leader in the mid nineteenth century"
"Ah, well" I retorted "I knew he had something to do with currant affairs"
Chortles all round.
I have to say that my later years at school were better than my earlier ones. I had a science teacher who got me interested in science, a maths teacher who raised my interest in maths and a French teacher who fomented my interest in women. ;-) -
What, on Earth, is a working homeless?
Picky bugger ain't he? It's obvious to any sentient being that in the context of the sentence means "a working homeless person" but we are dealing with Grunt Dickster.
You think people are obliged to give to those in need .. I don't.
Yet this troll claims to be a Christian, perhaps he doesn't know what that entails.
Like the actual fact and logic that I'd have to take a pay-cut when it wouldn't actually be a pay-cut?
I, for one, would like Grunt to explain how that works. I won't hold my breath for a sensible answer.

Ah, School days, best days of our lives, or so we are told.
A few short recollections.
1. Being beaten up by the school bully, when I was 8, while my form teacher looked on. I found out many years later that he had made a pass at my mother, divorced, and was soundly rejected.
2. An "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" moment at the ripe old age of 10 with Barbara Broadbent at her suggestion. I got a ruler across the back of my legs from the female history teacher, Barbara got sympathy. Equality? Bah!
3. Having my hand slammed in a train door on a school trip by the same teacher that watched me get beaten up. To this day I still remember the smirk on his face.
4. That very teacher confiscated a magnifying glass that I had sitting on my desk, that my Grandfather had given to me when I visited him shortly before he died. At the end of term that bastard teacher took the magnifying glass from his drawer, placed it on his desk, took out a hammer and asked the rest of the class "shall I give this back to Barnes or should I smash it?" Kids being kids you can guess the answer. Later that day, as we were leaving school, I asked my brother if he had any spare friends because I didn't have any.
I am now in tears.
Fuck it. -
B) A cheaper workforce does not mean I will have to take a pay-cut. Why would it?
So, Grant is not a member of the workforce? Hardly surprising, I wouldn't give him a job.

And yes, 10% of US supply is very worthwhile.
And you guys could cut your demand by that much by not being so gluttonous. Try walking down to the Crusty Burger store to get your Chicken fried steak burger with double cheese and fries instead of taking the Hummer. Compulsory liposuction could supply enough energy to run half of all your wars. ;-)

But who watches the bananas..
Monkeys?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
We do ;-)

Grant.
Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione.
