A couple other oldies:

“The Russian Milk Doctor” by I. Suckatitsky

You had a couple I hadn’t heard of before. Thanks for the laughs.

“Woman who flies plane upside down have crack up”.

Boy am I straining what is left of the old gray cells for these.

Fitting end to a creep who massacred 600 captured Spanish and Italian soldiers in violation of a surrender agreement in Ireland. They were there aiding the Irish in one of their revolts against the occupying British forces.

Just interested, why would you want a cleaned out hog skull?

Have we all been missing out on something?

Why do ducks have flat feet?

From stamping out forest fires.

Why do elephants have flat feet?

From stamping out flaming ducks.

A large feral hog skull with long cutters can be decorative for one's cabin, garage or man cave.

Painted metallic silver adds appeal.

Well, I can see that, but why not just get a large pot and boil it for a few hours.

You probably have to do that anyway when the coyotes are finished with it.

Of course, were you to do that in the kitchen, you wife would probably be looked upon favorably in a divorce court settlement.

The yotes clean it thoroughly. A final bleaching may be in order if to be placed indoors.

???

Just putting things in perspective.

When i first read this, i thought that was a pretty aweful fate for a guy who did so much to benefit England.

Then i checked his biography and found out he was involved in chopping up 600 soldiers fighting for Irish independence
after they surrendered on condition of being spared.

That was a big deal, even then. As a matter of fact, it was brought up at his trial.

You have to judge people by the standards of their day not by contemporary morality, which i always make an effort to do.

His fate was poetic justice.

Has nothing to do with “ keeping hate alive”. No Englishmen today is responsible for what Raleigh did and most Englishmen of that day were not either.

There were acceptable conventions of warfare and what he did violated them.
