Too much information....

On re-reading that last post, it is a bit high on the "yuck" factor... Well, no apologies - I set out to write a warts and all account of my life and if those warts happen to be genital ("eeewwww"), then so be it.

I think anyone who is unfaithful to their wife should be aware of the consequences of bringing a social disease into their family - and it doesn't just happen if you sleep with escorts.

My wife has been totally amazing - no questions about where this came from - suggesting one of three things:

1. She knows that I have played away and doesn't care or is prepared to forgive me for the sake of the marriage.
2. She knows that she caught it during some extracurricular sex and is therefore keeping a low profile.
3. She is merely waiting for the right opportunity to cut my balls off with a rusty knife....

I guess that I'd better sleep with one eye open until I know.

Now, without wishing to get involved in the US political debate I thought this joke was excellent at puncturing the pomposity of politicians - a group I hate. My view is a little like the Groucho Marx comment that he wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have him as a member" - I think any politician prepared to do what it takes to get elected is totally unsuitable for high office (absolute power corrupts rather well...)

President Bush was visiting a primary school.

One of the classes was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a
"tragedy."

One little boy stood up and offered, "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy." "No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff,
killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not." explained the president. "That's what we would call a great loss." The room went silent.

No other children volunteered. Bush searched the room. "Isn't there someone here
who can give me an example of tragedy?"

Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying Mr. Bush was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't
be an accident either."

Enjoy....
