er þetta ekki einmitt svona?

Fékk athugasemd um að textinn sé smár, það er alveg rétt. Hér fer hann á eftir:

Hello, sir, I’m here conducting a poll among registered voters.

Oh, goody!

Are you a democrat or republican?

Neither, I prefer to think for myself

(merkir við í reitinn: Trouble Maker)

Are you liberal or conservative?

Same answer. By the way, those terms are not mutually exclusive,

(reitur: Utter lack of convictions)

Does a candidates’ religion matter to you?

Only if they intend to replace the Constitution with it.

(reitur: Satan worshipper (hinn var Loyal American))

And what do you want from the next president?

To reinstate Habeas corpus, the Geneva Convention and actual democracy.

(reitur: Sides with terrorists)

Sjónvarpið: And here’s what real Americans think, according to the latest survey by the fair and balanced polling service…

Danae: Oh, I hope you’re a real American this time, daddy

dad: *Sigh*

ókei, þetta er reyndar í Bandaríkjunum, en ætli svipað eigi ekki við hér?

„Highly Paid Teachers“

Aren’t You All Sick Of Those Highly Paid Teachers?

Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they
only work nine or ten months a year! It’s time we
put things in perspective and pay them for what
they do… baby-sit!

We can get that for less than minimum wage. That
is right. I would give them $3.00 dollars an hour and
only the hours they worked, not any of that silly
planning time.

That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 AM to 4:00 PM
with 45 min. off for lunch).

Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these
teachers to baby-sit their children.

Now, how many do they teach in a day… maybe 30?
So that’s 19.5 X 30 = $585.00 a day.

However, remember they only work 180 days a year!
I am not going to pay them for any vacations.

Let’s see . . .. that’s $585 x 180 = $105,300 per year.

(Hold on! My calculator must need batteries!)

What about those special teachers and the ones
with master’s degrees? Well, we could pay them
minimum wage just to be fair, round it off to $7.00
an hour. That would be $7 times 6-1/2 hours times
30 children times 180 days =$245,700.00 per year.

Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!

There sure is, duh!

(Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277
per day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per
hour per student.) Very inexpensive babysitter and
they even educate your kids! Crazy!

cinema paradiso

ætluðum að horfa á Princess Bride í kvöld, nema hvað unglingurinn beilaði og fór í bíó með vinkonu sinni.

Jújú, þær mættu saman á svæðið eftir The Orphanage, vel útfríkaðar. Ákváðum að fara í björgunaraðgerðir og horfa með þeim á Cinema Paradiso. Höfum ekki séð hana í – hmm, 20 ár eða svo, getum ómögulega munað hvort við sáum hana saman eða ekki.

Björgunaraðgerðir tókust, stelpurnar tóku gleði sína að nýju. Yyyyndisleg mynd.

Samt hundpirruð á því að glænýi diskurinn, tekinn úr plastinu áðan, klikkaði tvisvar. Urr. Þurfum að kíkja á Directors Cut útgáfuna til að sjá hvað varð eiginlega um kærustuna…
