Yes, but it wasn't quite as trashy as it is now - I learnt a lot from The Magic Roundabout, Playschool and Tom & Jerry

Ah, The Magic Roundabout, I remember that! Always found the exotic augmented 4th in the melody rather intriguing!! Of course, when I was a kid I couldn't have phrased it that way, but I do remember thinking the melody was "odd".

By the way, do check out the original film (The Downfall) for a fascinating insight into Hitler's last crazed days in his bunker...

Joke for inhabitants of Oklahoma.

It's hard to argue that God hated Oklahoma.
If He didn't, why is it so close to Texas?

[Sorrano]

That made me laugh, thanks, Enrique!

For the mathematically minded.

Ginsberg's Theorem:
1. You can't win.
2. You can't break even.
3. You can't even quit the game.

Freeman's Commentary on Ginsberg's theorem:

Every major philosophy that attempts to make life seem
meaningful is based on the negation of one part of Ginsberg's
Theorem. To wit:

1. Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.
2. Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
3. Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game.

TV is chewing gum for the eyes.

Well, not exactly a joke but somewhere I had to put it.

THE WORST BANK ROBBERY

In August 1975 three men were on their way in to rob the Royal Bank of
Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving doors. They
had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking everyone,
sheepishly left the building.
A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of
robbing the bank, but none of the staff believed them. When they demanded
5,000 pounds in cash, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced that it
was a practical joke.
Then one of the men jumped over the counter, but fell to the floor
clutching his ankle. The other two tried to make their getaway, but got
trapped in the revolving doors again.

Not a joke but comical anyway.

Joke for IT people.

f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng.

Reading that was so natural to me that I didn't even understand why it was a joke at first

[Enrique]

Hi Chris. But notice the initial 'f'. What does it stand for? Did you understand that too?
Well, you are right. It is kind of a joke, not precisely a joke. By the way, why while most people put their place of origin in the data on the left of the post, you don't? Anyways I know you live in the USA.
