Nearly all of my American friends have validated the truth of this, that their geography sucks.
The rest of us know THAT already:—
“War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.” — Ambrose Bierce
Reason?
“America is a large, complicated place. Lots of states, and you have to remember at lot about each of those. Still, learn.”
But the truth is…
“I always thought Nicaragua was next to Sweden. Because. Everything. Is. Next. To. Sweden.“
The absolute reality is even more terrifying…
“Liberals are only concerned with watching awful network programming, and Occupying Obama thinks there are 57 states.”
*
“They’re still figuring out how to work the cellphone…”
— the movie “Robodoc” (2008)
*
“Have you lost an eye or a testicle, or some other small but pricey part
of your body? Sue your doctor. Lost your brain? Accidental
lobotomy is not a defect — it’s an education system feature.”
— ‘MINI Microfone’ (a 100% regular American)
(Thanks, MINI Microfone, you’re a real stand-up guy…—Editor)

Please leave your opinion to make MINI Microfone’s day. Thank you.

It’s funny when a walrus does it, but when you do it, you get hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit. Double standards are a bitch.
Walrus sez ferkit.

A 2-PART FEATURE
RECENTLY a discussion cropped up in my Facebook feed about the current pathways to becoming a lawyer in Hong Kong. Some people here just don’t seem to realise the consequences that those pathways entail in time, effort and money.

SCHOOL life is going to the dogs in our modern world. Degraded education. Degraded academic standards. Degraded conduct. Degraded respect. Degraded teaching. Degraded materials. Degraded everything. Parents blame the teachers. Teachers blame the parents. Students blame both parents and teachers, and themselves. At least be thankful that they’re learning fingerpointing.
