 Fogie's Folly

Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

Have you heard about the high school teacher who is under fire for giving a vocabulary quiz that included digs at G. Dubya and the extreme right?

Bret Chenkin, a social studies and English teacher at Mount Anthony Union High School in Bennington, VT, said he gave the quiz to his students several months ago. The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences.

One example: "I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes." (In case you're struggling here, "coherent" is the correct answer.)

Chenkin, a teacher for seven years, said he isn't shy about sharing his liberal views with students as a way of prompting debate, but said the quizzes are being taken out of context. "The kids know it's hyperbolic, so-to-speak," he said. "They know it's tongue in cheek." But he said he would change his teaching methods if some are concerned. "I'll put in both sides," he said. "Especially if it's going to cause a lot of grief."

Now I don't want to get into the whole "he's influencing young minds with a particular viewpoint" thing here, because I certainly don't condone such in a public school unless BOTH sides are being fairly presented. I just think his quiz is funny as hell.

Let's face it -- the Bushman does seem challenged at employing the English language. The poor guy can barely string three words together even with the aid of a teleprompter without me having to get a translator for the Dubya impaired. Sometimes it makes me wanna go "nucular".

I don't know... maybe I "misunderestimate" him and we'll soon have a "no President left behind" program.

Have a very LARGE day, Folliers!

Articulately,

me

Each evening a bird lover, Tom, stood in his backyard, hooting like an owl. One night an owl called back to him.

For a year, Tom and his feathered friend hooted back and forth. He even kept a log of the "conversation."

Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in inter-species communication, his wife had a chat with her neighbor.

"My husband spends his nights calling out to owls," she said.

"That's odd," the neighbor replied, "so does mine."

Let's just call it even, okay?

ISTANBUL - A Turkish villager who ran away with his friend's wife has offered his own wife in exchange, newspapers said on Thursday.

Farm laborer Cengiz Esme said Gulhan, his wife of 18 years, disappeared a month ago after leaving their village to go shopping in the southern Turkish town of Tarsus.

The 36-year-old said his village friend Mehmet Yaksi had telephoned him the next day and said: "I've run off with your wife... You take my wife," the Radikal daily reported.

Esme pleaded for Gulhan to return and said he was ready to forgive her and make a fresh start elsewhere. The reports said Yaksi's wife, a mother of three, declined to comment on the situation.

A bus, carrying only ugly people, crashes into an oncoming truck and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their Maker and, because of the grief they have experienced, he decides to grant them one wish each before they enter Paradise.

They're all lined up and God asks the first one what their wish is.

"I want to be gorgeous, " and so, God snaps His fingers and it is done.

The second one in line hears this and says, "I want to be gorgeous, too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.

This goes on for a while. But, when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts giggling. When there are only ten people left, this guy is giggling uncontrollably, barely able to breathe.

Finally, God reaches this guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually manages to catch his breath and says, "Make 'em all ugly, again."

A kleptomaniac woman is caught shoplifting in a supermarket and must appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for moral support.

The prosecution proves that the theft took place so the judge tells her that, considering her record, he's imposing a jail term.

"This time you stole a can of tomatoes. It's reasonable to assume that there were six tomatoes in the can, isn't it?"

The woman agrees.

"Then I sentence you to six nights in jail."

The husband jumps to his feet, addressing the judge, "Your honor, may I approach the bench?"

"Well," the judge says, "this is unusual, but I'll make an exception. You may approach the bench."

The husband wastes no time getting there and, leaning forward, whispers, "She also stole a can of peas."

Regarding Fogie's Folly - G.Dubbya & Gay Marriage...

Cutting Edge, Fogie! I like ALL of your responses, man. Let me just add this: For all those who declaim that gay marriage will ruin the "Institution", I only have this question: What the heck can gays do to the Institution that we heteros haven't already done???? -Dave
[Speaking of institutions, when are you due back?]

Unlike you liberals, President Bush is trying to maintain the sanctity of the most precious thing we have -- the family. This isn't about love or companionship; it's about greed and depravity! -Diane, Newberry, SC
[You lack even the dim flicker of sentience needed to qualify as a imbecile.]

All we in the gay community want is fundamental fairness and the same rights and privileges that straight couples have, namely the accumulation of a lifetime of wealth and memories with the one you love and the security and preservation of those after one of you has passed. -Greg
[Touching... Is there anything else we need to know about you other than you're a grungy social outcast?]

Fogie: Sit down with me for 30 minutes and I will show you how wrong you are about gay rights -- morally, politically AND financially! -Renzo, Montezuma, NM
[I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. Maybe you'd be less boring once I got to know you, but I don't want to take that chance.]

HOMOS ARE WRONG! -Ashley, Bedford, TX
[Thanks for your contribution, but if I had wanted to hear from somebody with your IQ, I'd be at my local grocer talking to the vegetables.]

Regarding Fogie's Folly - Hurricane Katrina...

You might have lost two subscribers but gained one... Hah, while recovering from a laughstroke just there, I am trying to type this. Hey you grumpy people: a smile is always the best remedy for something bad! A joke makes you see the good side of life in bad times. Those who cannot apreciate a joke should get themselves to a shrink. Ah well, they probably already go there anyway. -Mike
[English is your second language, isn't it?]

It is very unfortunate that some folks lose loved ones in a natural disaster and you treat it so flippantly. Your parody was not funny, not timely, and not in the least bit tasteful. Maybe you have a little growing up to do yourself. -Sue
[Why is it that the people with the smallest minds always have the biggest mouths?]

I live(ed) in Louisiana and had to flee from the hurricane. That said I found your column hilarious and it did somewhat comfort me while I type this from Atlanta where I am staying. -L3D
[Yeah, I'm kinda like a cyber security blanket.]

Come on people, it's humor. It is not a personal offence to those who suffered from this event, just a different way of looking at it. You see, that's why I live in Brazil! We don't have tornadoes here.
[I'll do an acid rain column just for you.]

People in Louisiana and Florida are retarded. PERIOD. If you don't want to get hit by hurricane after hurricane, don't live where there are hurricanes EVERY YEAR. But every year, I watch the news and those idiots are surprised that their house have been blown away by yet another hurricane. I don't think you should be allowed to have insurance or anything like that. The government should not help you, nothing. We should take a lesson from Darwin and just have survival of the fittest. -Tim, Phoenix, AZ
[Careful what you ask for.]

Why the hell do people actually live down in there? This happens every freakin 4 months and some hick is on TV telling us about how he lost his business renting Seadoos or something. Get it through your head: HURRICAINES EVERY COUPLE MONTHS=BAD. God Bless America. -Matt
[I am reminded of something relevant that Benjamin Disraeli said: "He was distinguished for ignorance - for he had only one idea and that was wrong."]

I could never figure out why people live near river banks that are prone to overflowing, or in areas that are at high risk in the event of forest fires or other natural disasters. Hasn't this sunken into peoples' thick skulls that just because a place looks nice doesn't mean it's a good idea to live there? -Jason
[Exactly... take Canada, for instance.]

I think that developers should not build on the coast because they take away the natural barriers and put lives and expensive property at risk. -Laura, VA
[ (adjusts intelligence level) At least you only charge what your free advice is worth.]

Regarding "Austria Museum Lets Naked People in Free"...

Tom Cruise KNOWS about nudity! -The Shark
[I think I've studied that as much as he has. YOU don't KNOW nudity like I do. You have not studied nudity as I have... I have studied it and I know all about nudity. Nudity can really be addressed with vitamins and herbs... You don't know about it like I do so don't be glib! Just trust me on this. You just... don't... know!]

Can you imagine a naked shopping day at Walmart? -Sam
[I can only imagine the horror of it all.]

I Love culture...
and boobies
hips
thighs
bellies
fannies
the curve of the lower back
nape of neck
soft flowing hair
angels voice
eyes of the soul
warm lips
long legs

Did I forget anything? -Mark, Kadena AFB, Okinawa Japan
[Your cold shower?]

What is the point of this? Is it just something that clever people have come up with because they have run out of meaningful ideas? They can no longer paint like the masters of old, so all that is left to do is to parody them? A gallery contains art that is profound and sublime, and the common people go and desecrate it by doing this. Modern man has lost the ability to understand, to 'read' high art. There is similarity here with the decline of Rome, where whole libraries and galleries were burned down while the rulers held huge feasts and orgies. How long will it be before group sex goes on the museums? The same people who now say 'there's nothing wrong with nudity' will way the same then. -Roland
[Damn... With your description of burning, feasts and orgies you sorta make the downfall of civilization sound kind of appealing.]

I'm naked RIGHT NOW! -Greg
[Casual day at the office, eh?]

Love europe, hate america... our human bodies are something to be embraced, not shunned. -Ann
[Let the record state that we here at the Follies strongly support the embracing of nekkid human bodies.]

General comments...

Dear witless. For some reason (God in heaven only knows what) My sister wants your monkey butt like a trout straight from the Eel River. Included is a pic. I hope you enjoy it. -Tim
[You're pimping for your sister? What, did your mom finally retire? By the way, this can't really be your sister... no tail.]

I have done this 3 times and i want off the mailing list thank you
[What do you think this is? The land of Oz? Just because you can click your little ruby slippers three times to wake up from your dreams doesn't mean you can send a blank email to my email address and magically be removed from the mailing list. Perhaps if you weren't busy dancing with Toto, you would have noticed the big unsubscribe link at the bottom of each mailing as well as a removal link on the members page. Instead, you've wasted both your time and mine by writing to me. Thankfully, I'm a nice freakin' guy and I ended up removing you by hand... not because it would have taken your low-IQ butt too long to figure it out, but simply because I dread the thought of receiving another one of your brain-dead responses co-written by the flying monkeys.]

Hi Baby, I would Love to spank your little bottom with my whip. Love You, -Mistress Patty
[Patty? You couldn't come up with something better than that? Like Mistress Raven, or Mistress Angelica, or Mistress Thorn. Mistress Karen sounds like something I would name my kitten.]

You insulted somebody for incorrectly spelling something and using incorrect grammar. Well maybe you should learn to spell too! while making fun of them you misspelled something too and your grammar was just as bad. You dumbass!!! -Andy
[Andrew, Andrew, Andrew... you slow thinking twit. It's called irony. Your attack on me is the world's greatest proof of reincarnation; no one could get that dumb in just one lifetime.]

Boy, does the news of US bastards getting killed in Iraq give me a kick... only regret is that the casualty figures are only 2 or 3 daily and not 200 or 300!!! It proves what the world knows... Americans are yellow when it comes to fighting man to man. U filthy Americans don't have the guts to enter any Iraqi area till your airforce has bombed the life oout of it and despite that U wimps are getting licked. boy what a pity! I especially love it when I read how your blood boils over when your soldier boys are getting shafted... seems like they should have listened to their moms and stayed at home, hiding in their mom's aprons... hahaha -Sanjay, Iraq
[I thought for about two seconds how I was going to respond to you, Sanjay. May I call you Sanjay? Or would Dung For Brains be more appropriate? Why don't you take your turban-wearing ass to New York and tell that to anyone on the street. It doesn't even have to be a male. Go up to a female and tell them that, and you'll see how much of a "wimp" Americans really are. And your analysis of war is staggering; why CNN hasn't hired you yet is beyond comprehension. First of all, you pasty faced troll, we bombed the life out of specific targets which were known to harbor hostile forces. I suppose your approach would be to walk right up to them instead and knock them unconscious with that foul, odorous stench coming from your breath -- no doubt a bi-product of your miniscule brain tightly wrapped in that filthy turban of yours. I can't say that I blame you for putting your hair up in one though. I bet you get tired of being mistaken for a typical Iraqi bearded woman when you let your locks flow past the shoulders.]
