An Honest Yorkshireman

Henry Carey (Died 1748)

I is i’ truth a coontry youth,
Nean used to Lunnon fashions;
Yet vartue guides, an’ still presides
Ower all my steps an’ passions.
Nea coortly leer, bud all sincere,
Nea bribe shall iver blinnd me ;
If thoo can like a Yorkshire tike,
A rogue thoo’ll niver finnd me.

Thof envy’s tongue, so slimly hung,
Would lee aboot oor coonty,
Nea men o’ t’ earth boast greater worth,
Or mair extend their boonty.
Oor northern breeze wi’ us agrees,
An’ does for wark weel fit us ;
I’ public cares, an’ love affairs,
Wi’ honour We acquit us.

Sea great a maand is ne’er confaand
‘Tiv onny shire or nation,
They gie un meast praise whea weel displays
A larned eddication;
Whaal rancour rolls i’ laatle souls,
By shallow views dissarnin’,
They’re nobbut wise at awlus prize
Good manners, sense, an’ larnin’.

A painting contractor was speaking with a woman about a job.
In the first room, she said she would like a pale blue. The contractor wrote this down and went to the window, opened it, and yelled out, “GREEN SIDE UP!”
In the second room, she told the painter she would like it painted in a soft yellow. He wrote this on his pad, walked to the window, opened it, and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!”
The lady was somewhat curious but she said nothing.
In the third room, she said she would like it painted a warm rose colour. The painter wrote this down, walked to the window, opened it and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!”
The lady then asked him, “Why do you keep yelling ‘green side up’?”
“I’m sorry,” came the reply, “but I have a crew of blondes laying turf across the street.”

So, X-rated websites have been given the approval to have the XXX domain name?

Surely this is going to confuse the Americans when they are shopping for clothes online.

Mate, all humans are parasites,some more than others;)

opposable thumbs
When man first could grip and use his hands to fashion a tool,that’s when he became the king of the heap and the parasite he is.

Back on thread though,i feel any chemical weapons must be the most devastating,killing all life forms above insect level and making land inhabitable for a long time.

The most popular and devastatiing weapons ?
The PEN,
or in this threads case the qwerty keyboard:diablo:
