==================================

Strange "PC" Quotes:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." (This guy has nailed it.)

"Being Politically Correct means always having to say you're sorry."

"I am sorry sir, this is a non-smoking mountain." -- Broadcaster David Frost on what official told friend about to light up on skiing holiday at Aspen.

"The Vulcan Neck Pinch is not half as powerful as the Vulcan Groin Kick, but it's more politically correct"

"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." George Bernard Shaw

"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money." G. Gordon Liddy

"Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries." Douglas Casey, Georgetown U. (1992)

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." Ronald Reagan (1986)

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - The Worlds Strangest Last Wills


Leona Helmsley
Notorious New York hotelier Leona Helmsley, nicknamed "the Queen of Mean" for her outrageous behavior, died in August 2007 of congestive heart failure at the age of 87. In her will, Helmsley left a $12 million trust fund to Trouble, her Maltese dog, $10 million each to two of her four grandchildren, and nothing to the other two. Later, a judge reduced the sum left to Trouble to $2 million, after the dog's caretaker, who earns $60,000 a year, testified that it would be enough to support the pup's lavish lifestyle for the rest of its life.


T.M. Zink
Iowa attorney T.M. Zink, who died in 1930, had such a strong disdain for women that he wished to use his savings to establish a library that would allow no works by female authors or artists, and would prohibit female patrons. In his will, Zink stipulated that his $35,000 be placed in a trust for 75 years, and the accumulated sum be used to build the Zink Womanless Library, where every entrance would bear a sign with the words "No Women Allowed." Zink's daughter, who was left $5 in the same will, challenged it successfully, and the female-free learning zone was never built.


Jack Benny
Before celebrated comedian Jack Benny died of pancreatic cancer in October 1974, he arranged one final romantic gesture for his wife of 47 years, Mary Livingstone (pictured with Benny.) Benny left a sum of money to a local florist for one long-stemmed red rose to be delivered to Livingstone every day for the rest of her life. Livingstone, who had performed with Benny throughout most of his career, outlived her husband by nine years.


Harry Houdini
When magician and escape artist Harry Houdini died in 1926 as a result of a ruptured appendix, he left the rabbits he used to pull out of his hat to the children of his close friends. An outspoken skeptic of mysticism, Houdini included in his will a message to his wife, instructing her to conduct a seance every Halloween so that he could, if possible, contact her from the other side. To prevent clever frauds from attempting to impersonate him to his beloved at these seances, Houdini provided her with a set of ten randomly selected words which he would use to identify himself. After ten years, she discontinued the seances; Houdini never appeared.


Mark Gruenwald
One of the chief architects of modern superhero comics, Mark Gruenwald was executive editor of Marvel Comics, overseeing such classics as Captain America and Iron Man. His proudest achievement, however, was his authorship of the 12-issue miniseries Squadron Supreme, in which a team of superheroes from an alternate universe attempt to use their powers to run a perfect world. When Gruenwald died of a heart attack in 1996, he was cremated and his ashes were preserved in accordance with his will: Gruenwald was literally immortalized in his work -- his ashes were blended with the inks used to print a 4,000-copy print run of the collected miniseries.


Audrey Jean Knauer
In Louisville, Ky., a devoted fan of Charles Bronson, wrote a will a year before her 1997 death at the age of 55, leaving her $300,000 estate to the Death Wish actor. The will, handwritten on a list of emergency phone numbers, also stipulated that absolutely nothing be left to her mother Helen. Knauer's sister contested the will, stating that a will Knauer had written 20 years prior, in which she left everything to relatives, was more authentic. Despite the lawsuit, the money went to the action hero, whose spokesperson told the New York Post that he would donate it to charity.


Countess Carlotta Liebenstein
When German Countess Carlotta Liebenstein died in 1991, she left her precious canine companion Gunther III about $80 million, allowing him and a puppy he later fathered, naturally named Gunther IV, to reside in their own mansion.


Charles Vance Millar
Known throughout his life as a prankster, Canadian lawyer Charles Vance Millar had no family to which to leave his assets. So before his 1926 death, Millar, who enjoyed devising social experiments that targeted peoples' greed, drafted a truly unusual will. In it, he granted three men who hated each other joint ownership of his Jamaica vacation home. In the ninth clause of his will, Millar dictated that ten years after his death the value of his estate, $750,000, be granted to the Canadian woman who had had the most babies in the interim. The resulting "contest" resulted in a tie, and four women, who each bore nine children, shared the wealth. Thus, the estate of the childless, joke-loving attorney was passed on to support the upbringing of 36 children whom he had never met.


Gene Roddenberry
The creator of Star Trek, Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry was one of the first people to have a space burial. After his 1991 death from heart failure, Roddenberry was cremated, and some of his cremains were brought on a mission aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. In 1997, more of Roddenberry's ashes, as well as the ashes of others who desired a space burial, were launched into orbit via a Pegasus XL rocket. The service was provided by Celestis, a company which specializes in space burials. In 2012, another portion of Roddenberry's ashes is planned to depart into deep space, together with the ashes of his late wife Majel Barrett (pictured with Roddenberry).


Onni Nurmi
Upon his death, Finnish businessman Onni Nurmi left the dividends from 780 shares in a Finnish company that manufactured rubber boots to the residents of a rural nursing home. The company was Nokia, which, having moved into telecommunications in the 1970s, is now the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones. The skyrocketing shares have made millionaires of the residents.

 Caribbean culture but comes to terms with it,

-------------------------------------------------


: LOOK! - IT'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK

 Class

 

 Hello. Remember us? We're terribly posh:

http://b3ta.com/questions/class/


 * LAND - "A friend at the Inland Revenue was

  enjoying a drink in Kensington public house

  with colleagues from a wide variety of social

  backgrounds. They were discussing films, in

  particular Nil By Mouth. One of the workers

  said that they'd enjoyed the film but mainly

  because it was shot on location on his estate.

  At which point a young, nice, dim, old money

  with title says, "Oh, how marvellous! How many

  acres?"

(d.r._and_quinch)

 

 * FAKE - "One of my friends is terribly posh.

  Let's call her Clarabelle. I bought a new winter

  coat, which was rather nice, but had some fake

  fur on it. 'Belle looked at it and her patrician

  nose wrinkled up even further. Then she said,

  "It's not that you don't look lovely, darling.

  It's just that - I'm morally opposed to fur

  that isn't real."

(rachelswipe)


 * RIS - "Putting my pound into the trolley at

  Morrisons when I saw two women with a three year

  oldish girl between them. An idyllic scene until

  one of the lardees says to the girl, "Say,

  'Auntie Jean is a fucking slag,' go on, say it."

  Followed by the poor child having a go at the

  Auntie Jean-based abuse. I tutted until I felt

  dizzy."

(Helikaon)



 >> This Week - PETTY OFFICIALS <<

 Bob de Bilde says: A traffic warden threatened

 to call the police and have me arrested because

 "It's illegal to take photos in the street. You

 might be a paedophile". I was taking a picture

 of a funny street sign, over which I had no

 plans to masturbate. Tell us about petty

 officials talking bollocks:

http://b3ta.com/questions/pettyofficials/

 Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates


 >> The awesome illustration of Robin Davey <<

 Deceptively simple, beautifully colourful and

 subtly animated - this is lovely stuff.

 >> TV programmes' rise and fall <<

 more popular? What about Game of Thrones? These

 graphs explain all.
