Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: j0_77 Date: 01 Dec 18 - 01:19 AM Here's the rest of the story... "An Israeli doctor says: "In Israel medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work." The German doctor says: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work." The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work." The Canadian doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Just about two months ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no balls and made him Prime Minister. Now, the whole country is looking for work!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Steve Shaw Date: 29 Nov 18 - 04:23 AM My advice there is to stop seeing the doc. Likewise, if your car starts to make a funny noise, turn the radio up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Nov 18 - 08:58 PM What's going on, Maggie, is that Donuel has both missed the mark and doesn't know when to drop it. It's nowt to do with my dad. I just wanted to have a lovely light thread. But he just wades in with his cynical and unfunny fuck-humour. I find that very weird. That's all. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Nov 18 - 08:45 PM Not sure what's going on there. It has been 20 years since I lost my parents, six months apart, and we still feel it, but over time it does change. This time of year in your first year is going to be particularly difficult. What did your father enjoy, what did he do to lighten up? My Dad was a folk singer, so the answer is pretty obvious. He sang or he learned a new song, or he got together with folksinging friends. Mom had a sister living nearby and they got closer as the years passed, doing lots of things together. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Nov 18 - 12:28 PM Not much of a joke, was it? Here's my dad's favourite joke. I was walking through the Olympic park when I saw a man carrying a long stick. I said to him, are you a pole vaulter? He said, no, I'm a German, but how did you know my name was Walter? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Donuel Date: 28 Nov 18 - 12:14 PM Jeez, let's lighten up the lightening up or nothing will be lightened up. As in lighten up (third-person singular simple present lightens up, present participle lightening up, simple past and past participle lightened up) (idiomatic) To become less serious and more cheerful or casual; to relax. I wish he'd lighten up a bit and realize that we were only joking. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jack Campin Date: 26 Nov 18 - 04:25 AM This suggests one of those horror movie scenarios where the transplanted part takes over the recipient's life. Like, the donor was a shepherd from the Scottish Highlands, the recipient visits the Peak District and it ends with a trail of whimpering sheep... |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: KarenH Date: 26 Nov 18 - 03:22 AM They'd be advertising them as 'gluten free', like some shampoo I saw the other day. How about 'Only one previous owner'? |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Donuel Date: 25 Nov 18 - 03:39 PM Hmm Lighten up is not the operant word, itsadick and balls thread. In that case you can research the i condom. You can anonymously compare and contrast your dick worldwide. https://britishcondoms.uk/i-con-smart-condoms.html or you can be the first on your block to take the great Condom Challenge for ALS. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Will Fly Date: 25 Nov 18 - 03:37 PM Oddly enough, I've been too busy to get depressed this November. The band had hardely any gigs in September or October - and November has been rammed! I've had three ceilidhs to play, two jazz duo gigs, an open mic for charity, a PA setup for the village Armistice Day ceremony, and two sessions - quite apart from other stuff. In short, too busy to get depressed. And, to lift spirits to the full, I went up to London this afternoon to see Jamaican jazz pianist at the Cadogan Hall in Chelsea, part of the London Jazz Festival. What a wonderful concert - a mix of reggae, blues, gospel, jazz standards and much more. Monty also had a great drummer and bassist; they played for two hours and the audience was ecstatic. That's how to beat the November blues - get a shot of rhythm and blues - gets the penis and scrotum perked up no end! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Senoufou Date: 25 Nov 18 - 09:51 AM Jeri, did you mean to type 'pro boner' (!!!!) or 'pro bono'. Actually, I reckon your 'pro boner' is more appropriate for this kind of transplant! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jeri Date: 25 Nov 18 - 09:41 AM KarenH, they mostly advertise drugs, not junk replacement surgery (JRS) I don't know, but the doctors might have taken this one on pro boner because it hadn't been successfully done before. I believe it was attempted, but the penis was rejected. That happens, I understand. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jim Carroll Date: 25 Nov 18 - 09:40 AM "PENIS AND SCROTUM TRANSPLANTS" As an avid silent-film buff, i find this idea MORE THAN A LITTLE SPOOKY Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jeri Date: 25 Nov 18 - 09:34 AM As for brain dead and depressing, is Trump worse than Brexit? I feel like it's one of those "Oh, so YOU had a home? We lived in a cardboard box in the middle of the M5" sorts of things. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: KarenH Date: 25 Nov 18 - 09:30 AM It was in the USA: it would more or less by definition have been commercial as I understand their healthcare system. They don't have an NHS. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Steve Shaw Date: 25 Nov 18 - 07:59 AM After I saw the piece in the Guardian mag I let my mind go into temporary boggle mode. I imagined the possible ads for the transplant procedure were it to become commercially available: ***PENIS AND SCROTUM TRANSPLANTS AT COMPETITIVE PRICES! TESTICLES EXTRA, BUT FOR THIS WEEK ONLY IT'S BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!*** |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: KarenH Date: 25 Nov 18 - 07:59 AM Steve, so sorry about your dad. On the lightening up note: Your second story and the subsequent comments on criteria for the donor organ remind me about a shaggy dog story I once heard, set in Wales, where the man who looked after the level crossing is called Evans, as are many other folk in that place, and our first Evans was being tried for murder, with the whole town anxiously awaiting the outcome. The punch line, delivered when one character is in the shower, was 'they're not hanging level Evans' (with and without a comma after the word 'level' and a capital letter for Level). A joke hard to convey in writing due to punctuation! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Donuel Date: 25 Nov 18 - 07:49 AM How do you lighten up. Let me count the ways. You can read the old testament, binge watch X Files, Watch Fox & Friends, research recent judge appointments, read 'The lighter side o Brexit', experiment with opioids, start your taxes, write a screenplay about Trump world in a 'Game of Throwns' format or just read 19 year old mudcat posts. or better still You could always Brazenly update MONTY PYTHON for today's world. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jos Date: 25 Nov 18 - 06:26 AM Oops. Sorry everyone. I forgot we were supposed to be lightening up ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jos Date: 25 Nov 18 - 06:24 AM "Can they at least make really, really sure that I am really, really dead before they do anything?" That's my view, Joe, whatever bits they want to take, which is why I don't have a donor card and if they introduce an opt out system instead of opting in, I am going to opt out. I would rather trust my family to make sure I am dead, and then they can give the go-ahead if they choose to. I heard a discussion about what happens when organs are taken, and what they do is check your (lack of) brain function and then keep your body alive by machine until they take the organs. As far as I am concerned, if I am being kept alive, then I am alive. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jon Freeman Date: 25 Nov 18 - 06:14 AM Brother in OZ also misses changing seasons compared to the UK ones. I gather they (a bit N and inland of Brisbane) do have a wet spell and summer is hotter (sometimes sounding unbearable to me but I struggle say even with our own last summer heatwave) but not the same variety he was used to. There again, his daughter/visiting niece thought our climate a bit miserable and often too cold... We get our wood delivered. There can be problems sometimes with supply and you wind up burning wood that's not as well seasoned as you might like but we aren't burning any old thing. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Senoufou Date: 25 Nov 18 - 05:58 AM Hmmmm Jon... many of our neighbours have woodburners. But they burn all sorts of rubbish on them (old pallets, fence panels, cardboard etc, not to mention their refuse which would otherwise go in the landfill wheelie bin) and the smoke pollution is horrendous. At night we like our window open, but the air outside is often poisonous. Our little bungalow has tiny rooms, so we soon use up the oxygen during the night. There are regulations about what one burns in woodburners, but local councils don't seem interested in enforcing them. Like you, I do love the changing seasons in UK. The one thing about W Africa I find boring is the sameness of the weather and temperature. Only a 'rainy season' (but in equatorial W Africa, it just rains once every day all year round) Each day is the same as the one before. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Jon Freeman Date: 25 Nov 18 - 04:40 AM I won't comment on the main thread, But yes, Sen. But there are really 2 seasons for me. I know it signals the end but I love Autumn, and Spring where you have the excitement of things coming back. To me, I suppose, the seasons of change. I too can find the winter period in between a long haul. It's nice in one sense to get the woodburner started and have one (parent's living room) really cosy with a glowing fire but perhaps that's about it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jeez, let's lighten up... From: Senoufou Date: 25 Nov 18 - 04:39 AM I had to look up 'duck pics' DMcG! (Urban dictionary) When I was a student at Edinburgh University, I took a summer job as a temporary auxiliary nurse at the Royal Infirmary. I was eighteen, and I'd never ever seen a naked man (in those days we were rather innocent and naive). I was sent to many wards for a week at a time, to fill in for nurses on holiday leave. My very first assignment was a male geriatric ward. I had to bathe many elderly, infirm and often senile blokes, and a very efficient Sister gave me instructions about their...er...bits. I'll never forget her firm order: "Retract the foreskin nurse! Retract the foreskin!" |
