Do you want to hear a funny story?

DO NOT tell my wife that I told you this, because she'd probably be a little embarrassed.  Anyway, we were driving along with the girls in the backseat earlier today, and she was reading me a story about some cursing African Grey Parrots in the UK, and one of the zookeepers said that they called him a fat t**t about 20 times a day, then she asked me what the filtered word was.  Yes, she may have grown up a little sheltered.  Anyway, as I was silently mouthing the filtered letters, my 14 year old daughter blurts out from the back seat "W, A". :roll:  Horrified that my sweet, innocent, Catholic School educated daughter knew the word, and my wife didn't.

    Just got back from my mother's oncologist. They're really happy with the results of her latest CT Scan. All of the cancer has reduced a little. So a really good report.

Current sewer odor is nada.   I don’t get it and I think I’m going crazy.  Landlord did call me tonight. It was a civil conversation.  I’ve lived here a long time. He came in today and said he didn’t smell anything.  So is it just at night? When it rains?  The solid tank is being pumped out on Tuesday.  Electricians that were here said something about a float not catching. Liquid tank almost ran over but I was here that day and the alarm was going off.

Man pranks friend on first date by calling restaurant, ordering ‘will you marry me’ dessert to the table

Stephen Durand, 38, was meeting a woman for a romantic first date at a steak restaurant. Durand apparently told his friend, Lee McIver, about the date, prompting his buddy to call the restaurant pretending to be Durand.

 

McIver, as Durand, called the restaurant, Finsbay Flatiron in Glasgow, and told the staff he was planning on proposing, SWNS reported.

"We've been laughing about it, about an hour before his date I phoned the restaurant and pretended to be him and said I was going to propose,” McIver told the outlet.

"The manager said 'we'll bring out the cake and a bottle of prosecco and dim the lights.’”

McIver said he paid another friend of his to go to the restaurant and film the event.

The restaurant staff reportedly brought out a candle, bottle of prosecco and a piece of cheesecake on a plate with the words "Will you marry me?” written in chocolate.

The woman was shocked and insisted, "this isn’t our ours, 100% it’s not ours,” McIver relayed.

 

Though the pair realized the joke, the woman reportedly did not enjoy the prank.

"It was £140 ($180) for the prank but it was worth it,” McIver said, noting he had to pay for the proposal plate and his friend’s dinner.

Ireland court rules that Subway's sandwich bread is not legally bread

It was deemed too sugary to meet the legal definition of bread.

LONDON -- Ireland’s Supreme Court has issued a ruling declaring that for the purposes of tax law, the bread served in Subway's hot sandwiches does not actually meet the legal definition of "bread” because of its sugar content and is rather a "confectionary or fancy baked good."

The case was brought before the court by Subway franchisee Bookfinders Ltd. which claimed that the bread Subway served qualified as a "staple food,” which, in Ireland, means that the bread would be exempt from value-added tax (VAT), thereby saving Subway money.

The ruling, which was handed down on Sept. 29 by the five-judge Irish Supreme Court, said that the bread’s sugar content -- which is five times higher than what was set out in Ireland’s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972 -- is too sugary to meet the legal definition of bread and therefore cannot be called a staple food.

"The argument depends on the acceptance of the prior contention that the Subway heated sandwich contains ‘bread’ as defined, and therefore can be said to be food for the purposes of the Second Schedule rather than confectionary. Since that argument has been rejected, this subsidiary argument must fail,” the court distinguished in its official judgement.

According to the Value-Added Tax Act of 1972, the sugar allowed in a bread product must not be more than 2% of the total weight of flour in the dough. Subway’s dough across all of their bread options as listed by the nutritional information on their website -- white bread, Italian, nine-grain wheat, honey oat, Italian herbs and cheese, nine-grain multiseed, and hearty Italian -- all contain about 10% sugar content.

According to the Independent in Ireland, the case first arose by Bookfinders from a 2006 decision by the Revenue Commissioners which refused to give them a refund for VAT payments made between early 2004 and late 2005. Bookfinders claimed it was entitled to a refund on the grounds that the VAT should have been 0% because it qualified as a staple food.

Justice Donal O’Donnell in the Ireland Supreme Court ruling said that the definition of "bread” was originally established to make a distinction between the starch in other baked goods, like cookies or cake or brownies, that are sugary and therefore not healthy enough to be considered essential foods.

"Subway’s bread is, of course, bread," Subway said in a statement given to ABC News. "We have been baking fresh bread in our stores for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes."

 

 

Well, that explains this then

meh, i once worked outside Philly at a flooring distributor in Oaks. there were two guys that would ride in together every day. The vehicle was a bronco with the spare tire on the back tailgate. Tied a cardboard piece with ''JUST MARRIED'' on it to the tire. They found out when they were about two blocks from dropping the one guy off (by then it was flapping in the wind). The driver said he couldn't stop laughing. The other guy, retired marine, wanted to kill me. 

That woman does not look like she did not enjoy the prank....unless the article misspelt pri*k.
