‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues.

How do you prove a sheet of paper is a lazy dog in three steps? 1. A sheet of paper is an ink-lined plane 2. An inclined plane is a slope up 3. A slow pup is a lazy dog

Mexicanos

A joke told by Bill Cosby, a black American comedian: Two black idlers are standing on a corner when a small car crammed with 12 men drives by. “Hey,” one says, “Did you see that? Twelve Mexicanos in a teeny car. They ain’t like us, are they?” The other man shrugs. “They sure ain’t. They’re […]

A Person I would like to meet

One day I would like to meet Seymour. I haven’t been able to locate him but I have tried. He was 6″ 3″ tall, had a full head of hair, took his date to very expensive restaurants and held her chair when she sat down. He was extremely successful in business. He jumped out of […]

Fishy

A man walks into a fish and chip shop with a fish under his arm. “Do you have any fishcakes?” he asks. “Yes, of course,” says the fish shop owner. “Great,” replies the man, nodding at the fish under his arm, “It’s his birthday.”
