Now that the metric system is in wide use all over the world, we can perhaps see why America have not adopted it:

A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometres.
Put your best 0.3 of a metre forward.
Spare the 5.03 metres and spoil the child.
28 grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure.
Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he’ll take 1.6 kilometers.
Peter Piper picked 8.8 litres of pickled peppers.

Omw, that’s hilarious :joy::joy::joy:

Having been a church bassist earlier this year, I can verify the truth of this link. I made several mistakes playing, and I’m pretty sure no one ever noticed. I don’t know if anyone knows there’s even a bassist except other bassists :joy::joy:

Don’t worry, you were heard. I was running sound earlier this year. A lead guitar type of player filled in on bass. He spent 80% of the day noodling from about the 12th fret up. I heard lots of comments. A good, solid bassist is underappreciated. They are seldom discussed until they are not there.

Truer words were never spoken. You don’t even notice the good bass players because they’re the ones keeping everything else together. There’s a reason it’s a good idea to lay down the bass track first when you’re doing multi track recording.

I gotta believe there has been sooo many more jokes at Noah’s expense SINCE the flood than BEFORE the flood (when people called him crazy for building the Ark)!

Poor Noah!

Somewhere there’s some video of me playing that song at @BanjoBen’s camp.

Ben, was your videographer’s work ever recovered, or is that long gone?

"Ode to the Spell Checker! "

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marcs four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, “I’m bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn’t have any worries about being eaten…”

As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a mysterious cod appears and says, “Your wish is granted”, and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.

Time went on (as it invariably does…) and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn’t realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

While out swimming alone one day he sees the mysterious cod again and can’t believe his luck. Justin figured that the fish could change him back into a prawn. He begs the cod to change him back so, lo and behold, he is turned back into prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it’s much worse) !

Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal. “Where’s Christian?” he asked. “He’s at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark”, came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian’s house. As he opened the coral gate the memories came flooding back.

He banged on the door and shouted, “It’s me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again.”

Christian replied "No way man, you’ll eat me. You’re a shark, the enemy and I’ll not be tricked. "

Justin cried back “No, I’m not. That was the old me. I’ve changed.”

… Wait for it…

“I’ve seen Cod. I’m a prawn again Christian”

Ok, I don’t know where that KFC thing came from, but I saw it on WhatsApp like two days ago. It’s hilarious :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Take it back… Take it back…

I can’t “un-see” the little body. The tie is completely gone. :roll_eyes:

If this is becoming a “thing” in the public consciousness, KFC should capitalize by making one of those huge-headed mascots (like the ones used for 7th Inning Stretch Baseball Game races):

Only, he should be in a black suit (all due respect to his white suit and black tie - which started this whole thing!) :joy:
