Falling to Pieces
I’m falling to pieces I’m falling apart My brain’s gone out trekking Without taking my heart. My eyes just won’t focus On anything but soap I’m no longer brave or beautiful And finding it hard just to cope. - My toenails are a disaster And my hair is almost gone. My eyebrows rebel righteously And by left leg is quite numb. My hearing is embarrassing I need glasses just to pee. And don’t ask me with whom I went last night Ain’t got the faintest idea who that could be. - I’m breaking up, limb by limb Like a More >
Chess Boxing, Cricket Monopoly and other New Sports
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines boxing with chess in alternating rounds. The sport began when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional depictions by French comic book artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal, organized actual bouts. Chess boxing is now growing in popularity. Participants must be both skilled boxers and chess players, as a match may be won either way.
A match consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess. The match begins with a four-minute chess round. This is followed by three minutes of boxing, with rounds of chess and boxing alternating until the end.[1] There More >
For the Walking Man
Mr. White spend almost forty minutes in the waiting room before the doctor could see him. When shown into the surgery and asked to sit down he first walked over to the doctor and punched him in the stomach.
“What did you do that for?” asked the surprised doctor.
“Do you know who I am? I’m Melvin White? Doesn’t ring a bell? I’m the son of Albert White.”
“Albert White? Albert White? I seem to recall a Mr. White at the home?
“Correct.”
“But what has that got to do with you punching me in the stomach?”
“You told him he should start walking, walking will More >
Yesterday and Today
Yesterday
Dianna woke up to the alarm clock and got out of bed slowly. After showering she went down stairs where she partook of a small healthy breakfast of orange juice, ham and eggs on toast and freshly brewed coffee. She took the 8:10 train to work which as usual was late. Dianna worked at a midtown office along with thirty other girls in the typing pool. Her day was made up of taking dictations and typing letters on her new electric Remington typewriter. After work she took the train home, late again, picked up her mail from her mailbox, three More >
If we all lived in a James Bond movie
I woke up early for a change, before ten. The two models at my side were still fast asleep. My in suite breakfast was already set out, caviar flavored Cornflakes, toasted brioche and a newly poured Latte, shaken not stirred. It only took one bullet to dispense of the two assassins who had yet to learn their before noon manners. Tut Tut! The maid came in to see if I needed any more towels, I declined but she had sex with me anyway. News travels fast. Getting dressed I remembered to take care not to accidentally release the poison dagger hidden the More >
The Song Behind the Meaning
An ageing rock star, whom I shall call Rick, was having a hard time finding subjects to write about for his new album. When he was a poor artist struggling for recognition, the whole pale world around him was his palette. Now fame riches and far too much booze had left him lacking. Sitting on the bank of the stream at the edge of his garden estate he tried to find something to write about. A frog jumped out from behind him, giving him a stir. The frog seemed equally shocked and jumped away in a hurry, disappearing into the More >
The lighter side of death
Susan Jane McCoy was a righteous and graceful eighty five year old lady who was spending the last of her days at the St Mary Retirement home in southern New Jersey. One fine morning she requested to speak to the local priest.
“Father”, she said in a broken, worn out voice “I feel that my time is drawing near and I have two requests.”
“Mrs. McCoy, you have been a faithful member of our community for several generations, I promise you I will try to fulfill your requests.”
“Thank you father, firstly, when I die I want to be cremated. and second More >
What women really want
~~~
Some men think they understand women and what women really want. Here is the proof that us men know nothing.~~~
Janet, Mary and Samantha were sitting together at the downtown Steamboat Willie Sportsbar enjoying their after-work Margeritas when a tall, exceptionally handsome, well built middle-aged guy walks in. The guy, whom we will call Travis, was so stunning that Janet couldn’t keep her eyes off him.
Travis, being the well adjusted, easy go lucky type who pertained to know a thing or two about the opposite sex did what any well adjusted, horny man in his situation would do, he removed his More >

The Security System
Madge and Bill lived in a neighborhood which, in their words, “was going to the dogs”. Their five bedroom New Jersey house boasted matching wallpaper and carpets, a dining table that could comfortably sit 20 people but never did, and a waterless dolphin shaped swimming pool in the back garden which they were very proud of. They moved in, seven years earlier, together with their twin poodles Tweedledumb and Tweedledunn, one dead parrot (an heirloom) and their four kids Mark Anthony, Fletcher, Donna and Jor-el ( they were founder members of the local Marlon Brando Fan Club). East Gandol was More >
