takes off his clothes and starts to wander around. A gorgeous petite blonde walks by, and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his erection, comes over to him and says, "Did you call for me?" The man replies "No. What do you mean?" She says, "You must be new here. Let me explain. It's a rule here that if you get an erection it implies you called for me." Smiling, she leads him to the side of the swimming pool, lies down on a towel, eagerly pulls him to her and happily lets him have his way with her. The man continues to explore the colony's facilities. He enters the sauna and as he sits down, he farts. Within minutes a huge, hairy man lumbers out of the steam room toward him. "Did you call for me?" says the hairy man. "No. What do you mean?" says the newcomer. "You must be new," says the hairy man. "It's a rule that if you fart, it implies that you called for me." The huge man easily spins him around, bends him over a bench and has his way with him. The newcomer staggers back to the colony office, where he is greeted by the smiling, naked receptionist. "May I help you?" she says. The man yells, "Here's my membership card. You can have the key back and you can keep the $500 membership fee." "But sir," she replies, "you've only been here for a few hours. You haven't had the chance to see all our facilities." The man replies, "Listen lady, I'm 63 years old. I get an erection once a month but I fart 15 times a day! I'm outta here!!! -------------------------------------------------- O fi bine in Rai, dar cele mai interesante persoane nu ajung acolo (Nietzsche)

(la: PALAVRE DE CAFENEA (Trancaneala- editie speciala)) A first grade teacher, Mrs. Brooks was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Johnny what is your problem?"
Johnny answered, "I am too smart for the first grade. My sister is in the third grade and I am smarter than she is! I think I should be in third grade too." Mrs. Brooks had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Mrs. Brooks he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first grade and behave. She agreed. Johnny was brought in and the conditions explained to him and he agreed to take the test. Principal: "What is 3 x 3?" Johnny: "9." Principal: "What is 6 x 6 ?" Johnny: "36." And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grade should know. The principal looks at Mrs. Brooks and tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the third grade." Mrs. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions" The principal and Johnny both agree. Mrs. Brooks: "What does a cow have four of that I have only 2 of? Johnny, after a moment "Legs." Mrs. Brooks: What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" Johnny: "Pockets." Mrs. Brooks: "What starts with C and ends with T, is hairy, oval and delicious and contains a whitish liquid?" Johnny: "Coconut." Mrs. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink and comes out soft and sticky?" The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Johnny takes charge..... Johnny: "Bubblegum." Mrs. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on 3 legs?" The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer..... Johnny: "Shake hands." Mrs. Brooks: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' questions, okay?" Mrs. Brooks: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do." Johnny: "Tent." Mrs. Brooks: "A finger goes inside me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first." The principal was looking restless and a bit tense. Johnny: "Wedding Ring." Mrs. Brooks: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver?" Johnny; "Arrow." Mrs. Brooks: "What word starts with F and ends in K and means a lot of heat and excitement?" Johnny: "Fire-truck." The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher, "Send Johnny to University, I got the last ten questions wrong myself!" ________ Dumnezeu în palmă avea doar linia vieţii, o gaură şi lumină bătătorită, o mulţime de bătături orbitoare ca blitz-urile, a spus că le are de la cât ne mângâie când dormim - Dan Carlea

(la: Cele mai frumoase poezii) Ballad of Reading Gaol
-fragment Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold. Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and others buy; Some do the deed with many tears, And some without a sigh: For each man kills the thing he loves, Yet each man does not die. He does not die a death of shame On a day of dark disgrace, Nor have a noose about his neck, Nor a cloth upon his face, Nor drop feet foremost through the floor Into an empty place He does not sit with silent men Who watch him night and day; Who watch him when he tries to weep, And when he tries to pray; Who watch him lest himself should rob The prison of its prey. He does not wake at dawn to see Dread figures throng his room, The shivering Chaplain robed in white, The Sheriff stern with gloom, And the Governor all in shiny black, With the yellow face of Doom. He does not rise in piteous haste To put on convict-clothes, While some coarse-mouthed Doctor gloats, and notes Each new and nerve-twitched pose, Fingering a watch whose little ticks Are like horrible hammer-blows. He does not know that sickening thirst That sands one's throat, before The hangman with his gardener's gloves Slips through the padded door, And binds one with three leathern thongs, That the throat may thirst no more. He does not bend his head to hear The Burial Office read, Nor, while the terror of his soul Tells him he is not dead, Cross his own coffin, as he moves Into the hideous shed. He does not stare upon the air Through a little roof of glass; He does not pray with lips of clay For his agony to pass; Nor feel upon his shuddering cheek The kiss of Caiaphas. Balada temniței din Reading Dar toți ucidem ce iubim toți...fiecui spuneți-i! prin ură unii, lingușind rup alții firul vieții; cu un sărut ucid cei lași, cu fierul îndrazneții! Mulți dragostea-și ucid de juni, și mulți spre-amurg de viață, în șlib de aur sau dezmăț ei victima-și înhață mai blînzii au jungher, prin fier cei morți curînd îngheață. Sînt scurte-amoruri sau prea lungi, ibovnici sînt, sînt soți... poți omorî plîngînd cu foc, dar și altminteri poți; căci toți ucidem ce iubim, dar nu murim chiar toți. Nu toți de rușinoase morți în ziua neagră mor, nu toți simt cînepa la gît și-un țol pe fața lor și nici nu simt că nu mai au un sprijin sub picior. Nici nu-s toți ceas cu cea pîndiți de inși tăcuți, de cei ce iscodesc și cînd te-nchini, sau să te tîngui vrei, ori seama iau să nu răpești tu prada temniței. Nu-s deșteptați, din zori, văzînd pe prag figuri de var un popă-n alb înfășurat posacul comisar și palidul guvernator în negru funerar. Nu sar umili din pat să-și ia rupt, straiul de-osîndit, pe cînd un doctor scrie cît și cum au tresărit, umblînd c-un ceas de unde-aud un groaznic ciocănit. Și nu le toarnă-n gît nisip grețoasa sete, cît călăul gras, înmănușat în ștreang nu i-a vîrît nici i-a legat cu chinga-n trei să sece setea-n gît. La slujba morții lor, smeriți nu au a lăcrima și pricepînd că-s încă vii -le-o spune inima- ei nu văd racla cînd pătrund în hîda șandrama. Nu sorb un ultim strop de cer prin sticla de pervaz nici nu cerșesc să fie scurt agonicul răgaz, și al Caiafei sărutat nu-i frige pe obraz. Dintr-un documentar transmis ieri pe nu stiu ce canal, am aflat ca Linus Pauling, care a primit premiul Nobel pentru chimie in 1954 si a avut o cariera sustinuta in cercetare incepand din scoala, a avut probleme in a fi crezut cand s-a opus utilizarii armelor nucleare. Nu a primit nici pasaport in 1952 din aceasta cauza.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling (in engleza, ca in romaneste se rezuma la esential) "Pauling had been practically apolitical until World War II, but the aftermath of the war and his wife's pacifism changed his life profoundly, and he became a peace activist. During the beginning of the Manhattan Project, Robert Oppenheimer invited him to be in charge of the Chemistry division of the project, but he declined, not wanting to uproot his family. He did work on other projects that had military applications, such as explosives, rocket propellants, an oxygen meter for submarines and the patent of an armor-piercing shell; he was awarded a Presidential Medal of Merit.[45][46] In 1946, he joined the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, chaired by Albert Einstein.[47] Its mission was to warn the public of the dangers associated with the development of nuclear weapons. His political activism prompted the U.S. State Department to deny him a passport in 1952, when he was invited to speak at a scientific conference in London.[48][49] In a speech before the US senate on June 6 of the same year, Senator Wayne Morse publicly denounced the action of the State Department, and urged the Passport Division to reverse its decision. Pauling and his wife Ava were issued a “limited passport” to attend the aforementioned conference in England.[50][51] His passport was restored in 1954, shortly before the ceremony in Stockholm where he received his first Nobel Prize. Joining Einstein, Bertrand Russell and eight other leading scientists and intellectuals, he signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in 1955.[52]"

I’ll be legal in two years. Virgin No. 7: Here, I’ll just pull down your zipper. Oh, sorry! Virgin No. 8: Can we cuddle first? Virgin No. 9: It was a garlic-and-onion pizza. Why? Virgin No. 10: . . . so I see Heath, and he goes, “Like, what are you doing here?,” and I go, “I’m hangin’ out,” so he goes, “Like, what?” . . . Virgin No. 11: First you’re going to have to show me an up-to-date health certificate. Virgin No. 12: Hurry! My parents are due home! Virgin No. 13: Do you want the regular or the special? Virgin No. 14: I’m eighty-four. So what? Virgin No. 15: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Virgin No. 16: Even I know that’s tiny. Virgin No. 17: “Do it”?

Virgin No. 34: I’ll betcha you can’t get an erection. Go on, impress me. C’mon, show me. Show me, big shot. Virgin No. 35: By the way, here in Heaven “virgin” has a slightly different meaning.

Virgin No. 53: I love it when you put on your pants and leave. Virgin No. 54: We’ve been together twenty-four hours now, and, you know, sometimes it’s O.K. to say something mildly humorous. Virgin No. 55: That was terrible. I should have listened to the other virgins. Virgin No. 56: I think I found it. Is that it? Oh. Is this it? Oh, this must be it. No?

Virgin No. 71: I’m not very good at this, but let’s start with the Reverse Lotus Blossom. Virgin No. 72: It was paradise, until you showed ---------------------------------------------------------- misiaczek, misiaczek, malutki misiaczek ! E o promisiune, un pact facut cu sine insusi intr-o lume ciuntita in care esenta frumusetii s-a pierdut si in care numai suferinta a ramas, ca marturie ca viata inca mai exista, chiar si asa, pe dos.
Dar se va intampla la apus, martea viitoare. Nu maine, nu poimanine ci int-o MARTI, mai tarziu decat "in curand". Si apusul n-a fost niciodata simbolul Renasterii. Va fi o calatorie aici, se va intampla Marea Trecere spre Dicolo. Dar ...ia asculta-aici: "Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin ...We’re both of us beneath out love, we’re both of us above Dance me to the end of love..." Pentru cel care isi plateste chiria in fiecare zi in The Tower of Song, fericirea e "dincolo", fericirea e un sfarsit. Metafora unui vis... "Dance me to the children, who are askin' to be born / Dance me to the curtains, that our kisses have outworn / Dance me with your naked eye, be my homeward dove / And dance me, to the end of love" (citat aproximativ, din memorie)
"Dance me to the end of love" un cantec despre statornicia in dragoste pana la moarte. Videoclipul: fotografii de nunta din tinerete, vechi de zeci de ani, alternand cu imaginile unor batrani tinandu-se de mana pe culoarele unei case de batrani... Versul "Dance me to their beauty, where they're burning violins" e o aluzie la crematoriile din lagarele naziste, la intrarea carora erau pusi detinutii sa cante la violoncele piese de camera, in timp ce nenorocitii erau arsi...
