Well guys - now we have a female member - and a Church Music Director as well (Hi Carol) I've had to look at the sort of stuff I've been submitting to the forum and decided it is a) Outrageous b) sexist c) not Politically Correct d) often all of these....and probably likely to cause offence to the fair sex :shock: That leaves contributions about music and guitars - but since I know diddly squat about these topics, my contributions in this area are likely to be somewhat limited
In consequence I shall probably not be much in evidence in the future. You may find me lurking at the foot of the page as members online, but fear not, I shall be with you in spirit 8)
No doubt Graham will feel equally constrained in posting some of his more inventive artwork. Thank goodness Gary (Coastie) has changed his Avatar - and with luck Don may exclude him completely :lol:
However, as a Last Post - and bearing in mind that ladies do not mind sexist jokes (so long as they are rude about fellas), here is one for Carol:
Subject: To the Smart Women............
In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking
tired and sombre. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he
surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at
this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very
risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but
you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a
female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding
eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to
control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,
"Why is the male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire
group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the
price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."
