Dear Mr Addison,

I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt
reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the
points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order.

Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a
"begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a
"tax demand". This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always, for
reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.

Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of
crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the
letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I
have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I
would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils,
Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might
indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case
of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my
own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters
do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding
charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain,
with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a
whole.

Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of
truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the
canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a
moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion
that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole
damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the
Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst
colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you
seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and
"dancing whores" whilst far more than you have accounted for is
allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking façade of a university
system."

A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:

1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to
do with the vagaries of the postal system;

2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrows of those with
nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice
because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant,
the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially
unviable.

I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any
way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to
point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul
jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the
money. Please send it to us by Friday.

Yours sincerely,

H J Lee

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised
a glass of water and asked,"How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.

It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the
heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we
carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden
becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and
rest before holding it again.

When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it home.

You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if
you can."

So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down
anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up
again until after you've rested a while.

Life is short. Enjoy it!

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
them.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.

* Never buy a car you can't push.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because ! then
you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once !!!!

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

It’s time once again to review the winners of the Annual “Stella Awards."

The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck of New Mexico who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s. That case inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States. Here are this year’s winners:

7th Place: Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.

6th Place: 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbour ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbour’s hubcaps.

5th Place: Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000

4th Place: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbour’s beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard.The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams,who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

3rd Place: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a Soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms.Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

2nd Place: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighbouring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded >$12,000 and dental expenses.

1st Place: This year’s runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32- foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned.Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons out there.

Thanks to John (two Jags.) Prestcott there is so much building going on everywhere else, on Sailsbury plain, nothing. Hasn’t been any building there for, ooh, 4,000 years, I suppose. Even then I dare say back in neolithic times there was some stone-age man standing in the observation platform watching what was going on, I dare say he didn’t care for it much
either. Imagine if you will the following conversation 4000 years ago on Salisbury plain!

“What’s this then? You’re not going to put up these ugly stone blocks here, are you? You can’t do that, I’ve got ancient lights on my cave. Well, what is it anyway? A henge? Well, what’s a henge? You may call it megalithic culture, I call it vandalism. You realise this is about the last nesting place for mammouths in the whole of Wessex? What, with them building up the
long barrows and the round barrows and the bell-shaped barrows, they’ve started cutting out these white horses in the hillside now, have you seen that? I dunno, it’s some sort of ad. for mead, I think. They don’t call ‘em the beaker folk for
nothing. And then you come along dragging these great pre-fabricated dominoes all over the roads. They’re not meant for that sort of traffic. Every fine weekend it’s the same story, ox-carts nose-to-tail all the way from here to the coast. I don’t know where you get that stone from anyway. It’s not local stone; I can tell. Where? The Preselli mountains? In Wales? I know it’s in Wales, I’ve been abroad. What do you want to bring it all that way - you’re bringing it the wrong way anyway. You want to bring it on the Chantebury ring road, avoiding earthworks at Avebury. What a horrible looking thing. Well, that’s all there is to it, just two up and one across the top? Well, if that’s modern architecture, roll on the ice age, that’s what I say. Well, you’ll never get a roof on it for a start. Never get twigs big enough. We had a woodhenge here once, but it rotted. These big picture-windows you’ve got all round the bottom. Well, they look very nice, I grant you, but what about the draughts? What about the lack of privacy? Who wants to live in a thing like that? Well, you tell me when they start moving in, will you? We get quite a pretty rowdy crowd in some of these new developments. I don’t want to end up under the alterstone in a crouching position. It’s not going to be lived in? Well, that’s something anyway. What is it then? It’s a what? You’re pulling my… A calender? Well, it’s a bit big for a calender, isn’t it? I mean, you’d look a bit silly with that on your desk, wouldn’t you? Well, how d’you work it, then? You come up here every morning before dawn - well better you than me, mate, yes. And when the rising sun throws a shadow of that big stone onto this flat one here, then we shall know if it’s summer. Well, that will be very helpful, I must say. Is it summer? You can’t tell. Well, I had better come and help you shovel the snow off it then, hadn’t I.”

“In pharmacology, all drugs have two names - a trade name and a generic
name. For example, the trade name TylenolR is acetaminophen. AleveR is
known as naproxen, AmoxilR is amoxicillin, and AdvilR is ibuprofen”.

The (American) FDA has been looking for a generic name for ViagraR.
After consideration by a team of experts, it recently announced that it
has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were
mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix and, of
course, ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp. is to make an announcement that ViagraR will soon be
available in liquid form and will be marketed by PepsiR Cola as a power
beverage suitable for use as a mixer. Pepsi’s proposed ad campaign
claims it will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a
stiff one. Obviously, we can no longer call this a soft drink. This
additive gives new meaning to the names of cocktails and highballs.
Pepsi will market the new formula by the name, Mount & Do (aka Mountain
Dew).

The long term implications of drugs and medical procedures must be fully
considered. Over the past five years, Americans have spent more money on
breast implants and ViagraR than on Alzheimer’s research. It is
therefore believed that, by the year 2030, there will be a large number
of people wandering around with perky breasts and erections who can’t
remember what to do with them.

Something to ponder - if I could only remember what it is I have to
ponder!

My thanks to Mr. Potter’s mum :)

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her Altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don’t know where I am.”

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air Balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level.

You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Democrat” I am,” replied The man. “How did you know?”

“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Republican (Blairite).”

“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”

There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their arses.

The results were pretty interesting :-

85% of women think their arse is too big.

10% of women think their arse is too little.

The other 5% say that they don’t care, they love him, he’s a good man and they would have married him anyway.
