Advice of the Day: Sniffing

I don’t care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

It is generally not considered polite or appropriate to sniff your fingers in public, regardless of the context. Sniffing your fingers can be perceived as unhygienic, rude, or inappropriate, and may make other people uncomfortable or annoyed.

However, there may be some situations where sniffing your fingers is necessary or acceptable, such as if you have spilled a strong-smelling substance on your hands, or if you are testing a perfume or fragrance in a store. In these cases, it is important to do so discreetly and without drawing attention to yourself, and to use good hygiene practices like washing your hands afterwards if necessary.

Overall, it is advisable to avoid sniffing your fingers in public whenever possible and to use good judgement and common sense when deciding whether or not to do so in specific situations.

Thought of the Day: Stairs


You can’t stand backwards on stairs!

The way you are standing on the stairs can indicate the direction of travel. When standing facing forward on the stairs, you are generally going up, while standing backward usually indicates that you are going down. However, this is not always the case, and it depends on the context and the specific staircase you are using.

For example, in some cultures or places, standing backward on stairs may be considered impolite or inappropriate, regardless of the direction of travel. Additionally, in some buildings or structures, the direction of the stairs may not follow the conventional pattern or may be unclear due to poor signage or lighting. Therefore, it is important to always pay attention to your surroundings and any instructions or signs provided and to adjust your behavior accordingly.

The Sage gives a Policeman a Piggyback


A wise old Sage gave a piggyback
To a British policeman in a sack
He carried him away with a smile
For mile after mile after mile



The policeman was feeling quite perplexed
Who was this Sage, he had to guess
But he soon found out The Sage was wise
And his strength, he did not despise



The policeman was now in a state
From The Sage’s swift and steady gait
But he soon forgot his cares and woes
And was soon in a state of repose



The Sage, his strength he did not boast
But with each step, he made a toast
To the policeman, and his strong back
He carried him along the winding track



The policeman saw The Sage’s heart
And was thankful for being given a start
And vowed that he’ll always be humble and kind
For the wise old Sage had given him peace of mind.

Ladies, some advice, if he doesn’t appreciate fruit puns…

You need to let that mango.

I used to go out with a girl called Lyndsey Doyle…

She smelt like a cricket bat.

After all these years, I’m finally ready to confess.

I let the dogs out.

Science reveals that women have cleaner minds than men…

Due to the fact that they change them every 10 seconds or so.

I’m fed up with my mates, three times now they’ve agreed to go to a Whitesnake gig with me & then not showed up.

Here I go again on my own!

The condition of the man who was mauled at the Teddy bear’s picnic is said to be improving but he’s not out of the woods yet!

When I checked into my hotel I asked about the TV in my room.

No I was told, “It’s normal…

Quote of the Day: Hope and Torment

“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, and poet. He is known for his works on morality, religion, culture, and the human condition. Nietzsche’s philosophy is often characterized as a critique of traditional values and beliefs, and an exploration of the human potential for creativity and self-realization.

Some of his most famous works include “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” “Beyond Good and Evil,” and “The Genealogy of Morals.” In these works, Nietzsche proposed new ideas and concepts that challenged the prevailing beliefs and values of his time. He argued for the need to create new values and a new morality that would enable individuals to achieve their full potential and live fulfilling lives.

Nietzsche’s ideas have had a profound impact on modern philosophy, literature, and culture. His influence can be seen in the work of many notable thinkers and writers, including Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among others. Despite his lasting impact, Nietzsche’s work was not fully appreciated during his lifetime, and he suffered from mental and physical illness that ultimately led to his death at the age of 55.

The quote means that in some cases, having hope can actually be worse than not having hope at all. When a person is facing a difficult situation or problem, hope can prolong the pain and suffering by keeping them focused on a desired outcome that may never materialize. In this way, hope can lead to disappointment, frustration, and even despair.

Nietzsche believed that it is better to face reality as it is, without hope or false expectations, so that one can accept the situation and move on. He thought that by accepting reality as it is, one can find the inner strength to face challenges and overcome obstacles without being held back by false hope.

Overall, the quote suggests that hope can be a double-edged sword and that sometimes it can be better to face reality without it in order to minimize suffering and find a path forward.

Advice of the Day: Staring


If you stared at something you dropped on the ground, eventually someone will pick it up for you.

I would love this to be true but I believe it is a myth! Looking at something dropped on the ground will not magically make someone pick it up for you. In fact, many people believe that if you stare at something you’ve dropped, it will just make it more awkward for someone else to pick it up for you. It is much better to simply ask for help from someone nearby.

Thought of the Day: Numbers


When you count from one to two you skip an infinite amount of numbers.

The first known counting system was developed by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. This system was created in order to keep track of economic transactions and was based on the number 60.

The number 60 was chosen because it is a highly composite number, meaning it has many divisors. This made it useful for counting and dividing into smaller parts. Additionally, the Sumerian base-60 counting system was used to keep track of time, which is why we still use 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

The Sage and the Lion


A wise old Sage in white robes stood,
With lion fierce beside him, good.
He tamed the beast with gentle hand,
And wisdom to which understand.



With words of peace and calm control,
He guided lion’s heart and soul.
No longer fierce and filled with rage,
The lion now was calm and sage.



Together they walked through the land,
A bond between them, strong and grand.
The lion’s roar was now a purr,
As Sage and beast, they did concur.



And all who saw them were amazed,
At how the lion now was tamed.
For wisdom is a truly powerful thing,
And in The Sage’s heart, it did sing.

He’s quiche stage one.

I was once abducted by aliens.

They made me wash my hands, blow my nose, clean my room, and eat my vegetables…

Turns out I was on the mothership.

I thought ‘That’s a turnip for the Boks.’

Where does a vegetarian go on holiday?..

Quornwall

This girl came up to me today and said she recognised me from Vegetarian Club.

I was confused, I’d never met herbivore.

I’m really happy with my vegetable patch.

I haven’t wanted a vegetable in weeks…

I had to give up my vegetarian diet.

Turns out they’re a lot harder to catch than cows.

Becoming a vegetarian is a big missed steak.

A vegan said to me, people who sell meat are disgusting.

I replied people who sell fruits and vegetables are grocer.

I just turned down a job delivering for my local fruit and veg shop…

They offered to pay me in vegetables, but the celery was unacceptable.

I’m fed up with vegetarians interrogating me about my eating habits…

It’s like the spinach inquisition!

It’s like Piccalilli Circus here.
