Real Life Lore created a video that gives visual comparisons to help people understand just how deep the ocean really is.
The Ocean is a deep and scary world that is completely removed from most of our lives. In this video I explore just how deep the ocean actually is while discussing some of the strange life down there… and other just plain weird and odd things about the ocean.
While conducting some business at the Courthouse, I overheard a lady, who had been arrested for assaulting a Mammogram Technician, say “Your Honor, I’m guilty but….. There were extenuating circumstances.”
The female Judge said, sarcastically, “I’d certainly like to hear those extenuating circumstances.” I did too, so I listened as the lady told her story.
“Your Honour, I had a mammogram appointment, which I actually kept. I was met by this perky little clipboard carrier smiling from ear to ear and she tilted her head to one side and crooned, “Hi! I’m Belinda! All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown. Everything clear?” I’m thinking, “Belinda, try decaf. This ain’t rocket science.” Belinda then skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors. With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, “Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?” Fine, I answered.
I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck to finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other breast wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when I heard and felt a zap! Complete darkness, the power was off!
Belinda said, “Uh-oh, maintenance is working, bet they hit a snag.” Then she headed for the door.
“Excuse me! You’re not leaving me in this vise grip alone are you?” I shouted. Belinda kept going and said, “Oh, you fussy puppy… The door’s wide open so you’ll have the emergency hall lights. I’ll be right back.”
Before I could shout NOOOO! She disappeared. And that’s exactly how Bubba and Earl, “maintenance men Extraordinaire,” found me… standing on my tip-toes, half-naked with part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life and the other part smashed between glass!
After exchanging a polite Hi, how’s it going type greeting, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off. Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible, “Uh, yes, I did, but thanks anyway.” “OK, you take care now” Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I’d been standing in the line at the grocery store.
Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, “Oh I am sooo sorry! The power came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?”
And that, Your Honour, is exactly how her head ended up between clamps….” The judge could hardly contain her laughter as she said, “Case Dismissed”.
| I am life, yet not real. When we first meet, things are dark. When we leave each other, you are in the light. I meet many people with and after you.
What am I? |

Surprise! The “Obamaphone” Program That Gives Phones To Poor People Is Rife With Corruption
An audit of the government’s Obamaphone program, which gives cell phones to poor people, that was requested by Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri has turned up over $9 billion stashed in private bank accounts as well as over a third of enrollees who should not have qualified for the program. Known officially as the Lifeline Program, the phone giveaway was a symbol of government waste in the Obama years, but a new report from the Government Accountability Office confirms those fears. A complete lack of oversight is causing this program to fail the American taxpayer everything that could go wrong is going wrong, McCaskill said. Were currently letting phone companies cash a government check every month with little more than the honor system to hold them accountable, and that simply cant continue.” McCaskill is on the Senates chief oversight committee and a former state auditor. More on the audit’s findings from Fox News:
We remember a day at the Brooklyn Public Library when we watched a guy sitting on his laptop and checking one of his two smartphones identify the other smartphone to his friend as his “Obamaphone,” telling the second guy he has to make calls from it now and then to confirm he’s using it. So…yeah, thanks, Obama!
