1 This editorial cartoon provoked my first laugh of the day...one major category of humor is exemplified by this exchange. That is, something that may be good or bad, but that can be identified with, as valid or true, by the listener/reader. Thanks for providing the laugh... even as it presents a disquieting reality.

(ie, FOX News and PBS/NPR audiences keep watching/reading only those programs/articles which reinforce their own world-views and genuine dialog between the right and the left is discouraged by today's entertainment-driven media which promotes only controversy, not common ground.)

2 Glad you liked it!

3 Thought you might enjoy this humor break from all our serious talk :-)


Ahmed and Hamid are both beggars at one of London's tube stations.

Ahmed drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage free house and has a lot of money to spend.

Hamid only brings in hardly 2 - 3 pounds a day.
Finally one day Hamid asks Ahmed how does he manage to bring home a bag full of £10 bills every day.

Ahmed says, "Come on man! Look at your sign: "I have no work, a wife and six kids to support."

Britons who see that do not feel excited about giving you money!!! And you will still have no job and a large family to support. You must make it worth their while!

Ahmad boasts, now look at my sign: "I only need
another £10 to move back to Pakistan"

4 That would SO work.
