What is Irish and stays out all night?

Why did the man fall down the well? Because he didn’t see that well!

I have a fear of speed bumps. I’m slowly getting over it.

I have got to stop saying "How stupid can you be?"  I'm beginning to think people are taking it as a challenge.

What's the similarity between hamsters and cigarettes?
 
They're both harmless until you put them in your mouth and light them on fire.

At a Diplomats' dinner, a waiter tripped and shattered the beautiful plate in which he was carrying a large turkey.
 
Hushed silence turned into a roar of  laughter, when the quick-witted Diplomat  announced:
 
"Gentlemen ! You have just witnessed 4 major international events happening :
 
Fall of Turkey
 
Breakup of China
 
Spillage of Greece and
 
Frustration of Hungary !

The Great Race: 1965 Blake Edwards film starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood in a race from New York to Paris. The movie inspired the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Wacky Races. I like old comedies like this, but YMMV. (HBOmax)
 
King's Man: Set in the early part of the 20th Century, this prequel to the Kingsman movies has a decidedly darker tone. I enjoyed it, even if the professional critics didn't. (Hulu)

I'll have to give it a try.
 
And Slaves Of The Switchboard Of Doom is a really great book.
 
Now back to our regularly scheduled posting--

"Listen, Snow--you don't stand a chance against us.  But if you turn State's Evidence,
you can help bring down The Queen.  Isn't that what you want?"

Water Polo, Anyone?
 

The other form of climate denial I've encountered from people who ought to know better, is that human CO2 emissions are small compared to volcanic eruptions and things like that, so they can't be significant. Maybe the climate activists should be trying to stop volcanic eruptions! <snerk>
 
They forget human CO2 emissions happen on top of those natural sources. Here's the comparison I've devised, though I haven't had a chance to try it on someone who claims to be scientifically literate and rational:
 
Imagine a swimming pool. There are numerous faucets pouring into it, ranging from fire hydrants to dribbling taps. There are also numerous drains, both large and small. Some taps and drains are open all the time; others open and shut on a regular schedule. But over time, inflows and outflows balance. The water level fluctuates little, if at all.
 
Then you turn on another tap, that's stayed shut all this time. There is no corresponding new drain. It doesn't matter how big or small the new inflow is, compared to the other taps. Fast or slow, the water level rises. Eventually, the pool overflows.
 
Fossil fuels are one such tap. There are others. As a percentage of Earth's total carbon cycles, they may be small -- but decade after decade, it adds up.
