There is a medical distinction between "Guts" and "Balls".
We've heard colleagues referring to people with "Guts", or
with "Balls".
Do they, however, know the difference between them?
Here's the official distinction; straight from the British
Medical Journal: Volume 323; page 295.
GUTS - Is arriving home late, after a night out with the
lads, being met by your wife with a broom,
and having the "Guts" to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or
are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the lads,
smelling of perfume and beer,
lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the bum and
having the "Balls" to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'
I trust this clears up any confusion.
Medically speaking, there is no difference in outcome; both
are fatal

I know, I know, but I felt we need it on Lula these days: so depressing to have these interminable threads on politics that can't possibly change a hot damned thing. How divisive these things can actually become.

Not a lot else seems to be going down, I'm sorry to say. (But even that innocent remark could be open to misinterpretation.)

Might take a brief holiday and inspect my navel a little bit; too cold and miserable to do much else, but I am invited to lunch on 
Thursday: my usual restaurant's closing down until March, and they have an annual, end-of-season family do in the place, to which this is a summons. Which feels kinda nice.

Big problem, though, is where the hell else to eat until they reopen ?

The nurse said to the doctor: the invisible man is in the waiting room and wants an appointment.

The doctor replied: Tell him I won't be able to see him.

The Panda is a restaurant nightmare - after the meal he pulls out a gun and fires it at the waiter, and walks out.

The server runs after him in the street and asks "why no pay and worse, no tip"? Panda answers "look it up in the encyclopedia: A Panda eats shoots and leaves" .

I got kicked out of the swimming baths today for peeing in the pool. The lifeguard shouted at me so loud I almost fell in.

My wife said we should do something to put the magic back in our relationship. So I sawed her in half.

Bill, your stand up is a welcome respite and a hoot to boot.

A family of cannibals are dining on a couple of conservationists that they have caught in the jungle. 'But I'm not hungry', complains one of the youngsters. 'Well', says the mum, 'you'll never grow up to be big and strong unless you eat up all of your greens'.

If a man says something in the woods, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

no woman hears
Well Bill, thank you for the entertainment...I FINALLY noticed your website. The work is gorgeous. I will never try to judge an image posted here again in all likelihood. I never am able to come close when attempting to share something that is striking me in a good way...my lack of posting prep skills. From now on when I see yours I will seek them on your site.

I really need to bring back a proper presence on the web, but am thriving on my new childhood way too much. So glad I'm finally on to your "other" presence. And thanks for the education. I won't miss the treat of yours again.

I think you need to mansplain this one.

My father's trying to persuade me to get an organ donor card. He's a man after my own heart.

It's a take on the question, 'If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one to hear it, does it make a sound?'

maybe I should forget humor and try something simpler eg. -photography .
