For a little smile, a little laugh or even a whatever!


World Happiness Day

 

Today I donated my watch, phone and $500 to a poor guy. You don’t know the happiness I felt as I saw him put his knife back in his pocket.

….

I miss working at the zoo. My boss fired me because I left the lion’s cage door open. I mean who would want to steal a lion.

I was in a cab today and the driver said: I love my job, I am my own boss. Nobody tells me what to do.” Then I said, “Turn left.”

….

Why do some pharmacies (in the US + Canada?) make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get to the pharmacy for prescriptions while healthy people (?) can buy cigarettes at the front?

….

Why do some people order a double cheeseburger, large fries and get a diet Coke?

Why do banks leave the vault doors open but chain pens on the counters?

….

Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our junk in the garage?

Why does the sun lighten our hair but darkens our skin?

Why can’t women put on mascara with their mouths closed? Really?

Why do doctors and lawyers call what they do “practice”?

Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used in aeroplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of the same stuff, indestructible?

Why don’t sheep shrink in the rain?

Why are they called apart-ments when they are all together?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport terminal>

Now that I hope you have smiled at least once (even smirked a little), it’s your turn to spread this silliness … hopefully they will smile a little, even chuckle a little or a lot!!!

A day without laughter can never be a gem.

(Thanks WL, with apologies to the original writer)

Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands

  BOOK REVIEW   Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands   Review by Cyprian Fernandes     Pio Gama Pinto, Kenya’s Unsung Martyr 1927-1965 Edited by Shiraz Durrani [Vita Books, Kenya, 2018, 392 pp.   Pbk, £30, ISBN 978-9966-1890-0-4; distributed worldwide by African Books Collective, www.africanbookscollective.com ]   Less than two years after independence from the British, on 24 February 1965, the Kenyan nationalist Pio Gama Pinto was gunned down in the driveway of his Nairobi home.   His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car.   Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr.   One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated.   Since then no one has been charged with the murder.   Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya

  The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya (Courtesy of Al Jazeera) Poison, deforestation and power lines have pushed the African raptor population to a 90 per cent decline in the last 40 years. Raptor technician John Kyalo Mwanzia rehabilitates a juvenile fish eagle to flight after it was treated for grounding injuries sustained in a territorial fight at the Lake Naivasha habitat, at Soysambu Raptor Centre. [Tony Karumba/AFP] Simon Thomsett tentatively removes a pink bandage from the wing of an injured bateleur, a short-tailed eagle from the African savannah, where birds of prey are increasingly at risk of extinction. “There is still a long way to go before healing,” Thomsett explains as he lifts up the bird’s dark feathers and examines the injury. “It was injured in the Maasai Mara national park, but we don’t know how,” says the 62-year-old vet who runs the Soysambu Raptor Centre in central Kenya. The 18-month-old eagle, with a dist...
