April 18, 20206 yr Moderator This is a small collection of humor I've collected over the past few weeks: Just some light humor I've collected over the past week or so... Until further notice the days of the week are now called thisday, thatday, otherday, someday, yesterday, today and nextday! Just asked a 6 year old if he understands why there is no school. He said yes because they are out of toilet paper.On the bright side, I am no longer calling this shelter-in-place. I am an artist-in-residence. After years of wanting to thoroughly clean my home but lacking the time, this week I discovered that wasn’t the reason.Where is your next travel destination? - Las Kitchenas - Los Lounges - Santa Bedroomes - Porto Gardenas - Los Bed - Costa del Patios - St. Bathroom - La Rotonda de Sofa You’re not stuck at home, you’re safe at home. One word can change your attitude and one cough can change your life. If you thought toilet paper was crazy ... just wait until 300 million people all want a haircut appointment. 2020 is a unique Leap Year. It has 29 days in February, 300 days in March and 5 years in April. Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so much to prevent COVID-19 but to stop eating. This cleaning with alcohol is total b.s. NOTHING gets done after that first bottle. Kinda’ starting to understand why pets try to run out of the house when the door opens. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands??? My Mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by laying in the bed all day, but look at me now! I’m saving the world! Whoever owes you money, go to their house now. They should be home. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

April 18, 20206 yr My cousin, who loves to travel and was going to do a summer abroad for her international affairs masters program, has been taking the travel restrictions hard. I told her she could travel inside the apartment and that the sofa would make a pretty good Serbia (which is where she was supposed to go). She and her roommate divided up the furniture and put little international flags everywhere. Apparently they're doing well now, cooking in Ukraine and serving dinner in the eat-in Latvia. Thanks for this, Fr. Bill! Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery
April 19, 20206 yr Author Moderator It is a slow day in the small Saskatchewan town of Pumphandle, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk, saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op. The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit. The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner. The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves. No one produced anything. No one earned anything... However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a Stimulus package works. Fr.

April 20, 20206 yr Pumphandle is well off. Over here in Europe we are just doing the same with a few billions. Not a stimulus, we call it a transfer union, sounds even better, doesn't it? And HighFlyer, you are of course right, the one at the end of the creditor chain, that's the one who pays. Hans
April 20, 20206 yr Author Moderator 1 hour ago, HiFlyer said: Well...... Isn't the Hotel guy out of the $100 the hooker owed him? He never got to keep the money, soooooooo....... Well yes, of course! That however is the point! When the government issues "stimulus money" no matter how many intermediaries, ultimately the government winds up still owing the money from whom it was borrowed... I should add that too closely analyzing humor sort of ruins the joke. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
April 20, 20206 yr Central banks around the world are preparing to monetize deficit (i.e. "print money") to avoid having an even deeper economic collapse. And every economist in the world will say that it's the right thing to do in this situation (except maybe a few weirdos still clinging to a pre-keynesian gold standard). However Fr. Bill the joke was very good _and_ much more meaningful that it seems. 🙂 "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
