Who Says Blondes Are Dumb?

Aug 25C photo Aug25C_zps4f6e76fc.jpg
A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500!."

Figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his co-workers and friends. All to no avail. After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer!?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

Some Wisemen's Point Of View

Aug 25A photo Aug25A_zps11714c3a.jpg

    • If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
    • Love is the fastest track to long term happiness.
    • Experience increases our wisdom but doesn't reduce our follies.
    • The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his way.
    • A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
    • Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.
    • Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.
    • Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.
    • There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.
    • Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.
    • Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
    • What it comes down to is that anybody can win with the best horse. What makes you good is if you can take the second or third-best horse and win.
    • Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.
    • You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer. - Pablo Picasso
    • If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking.
    • Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
    • Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
    • The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
    • The girl who can't dance says the band can't play.
    • Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
    • Don't ever judge another without having walked a mile in his shoes first. (Indian proverb)
    • Living with a saint is more grueling than being one.
    • Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.
    • There are two kinds of men who never amount to much -- those who cannot do what they are told and those who can do nothing else.
    • There is none more lonely than the man who loves only himself.

In Praise Of Sand Sculpture And Sculptors

Aug 25 photo Aug25_zps81b19cd6.jpg
Following my trend of thought from yesterday's Blog 'Beach Kangaroos ...', I like to salute the many other artists on the beach of Roses - those who make truly wonderful sand sculptures. Once a year, they gather on the beach and stage a sort of competition, and let the visitors vote their favourite; the winner gets a cash price, the sum of which is varied each year, depending on the local economy and how the Town Hall, the patron, is coping with it.

I have seen with amazement & admiration how very beautiful these sculptures are and life like, or the abstract version of them, equally captivating: Cleopatra with a snake wrapped around her arm, pirate or Napoleon with an eye-pad, Jesus, even the whole Nativity scene complete with animals, recognisable chapels and castles ... and all variety of animals, simply life-like, or in action like the cat chasing a mouse.

No professional sculptors are allowed, to give a chance for the many talented amateur-artists to show off, and hopefully, find recognition. It's a pity that the beach sand gets blown away or out of shape, so if you don't go and view them on the same day, you will not get to see them at all. You might even be lucky enough to watch some of these artists in action, building up their master pieces. That's the part I enjoy most. It takes hours but to me, worth every second of it.
