Friday's Freehold

[Free libertarian]

Do your cats swim?

Do your fish climb trees?

[K. Darien Freeheart]

I think you'd have to do a lot of stirring. I don't think the goldfish are going to like living in an igloo with zero rooms.

They blow bubbles around boats that are, except for the water within a few inches of the bubbles, surrounded by ice.

You are going to stir your pond throughout the winter???

Umm, well... yes?  Is that not feasible? I'm sure not going to install a heater for the benefit of a couple of goldfish I didn't even know were there until today.

She will be stirring the pond chanting bubble bubble
toil and trouble...............

Actually, the one and only time I kept goldfish as pets (they're so boooooooorrrrrring), one of them was named Bubble.

The gubbimt street plower buried my mailbox in a snowdrift and, from the looks of it, broke the post.   

The gubbimt mail deliverer has stopped delivering my mail, I'm guessing because it's no longer convenient for him to lean out his car window as if my mailbox is a drive-through.  I'm pretty sure this dates back to *before* this week's storm.

The "public" electric company is calling me to complain cuz the gubbimt postal service sent my bill back to them.

then they would send you a plow repair bill
ain't government great?
my old boss in cali built one that would tip over easily .... and drive a spike into whatever knocked it down
at the farm i was planning on not putting one up and seeing if the government would install one for me ... to put us into the system

Don't you just love your government services? Can't you see we NEED these government services?! Where would we be if there was no government to refuse to deliver your mail, or no government to shovel snow into your yard?

Well, I've got my mail.  I think I'll make the story a blog post; it's just too comical.

Remember this point the next time some idiot tries to tell you he wants the government to take over health care.

Although they are a government dependent, I've never actually had a problem with delivery or other PO services.
I always ask people if they would want the Motor Vehicle department in charge of providing them food or, http://nhunderground.com/forum/Themes/default/images/bbc/strike.gifmedical care.

A while back the town redid the road in front of my house.  As part of this project they pulled up my mail box and my neighbors and laid them on the lawn.  For the couple days they had to pull the boxed up the post office wouldn't deliver because there was no mail box within reach from the road.  When I complained to the town with my neighbor, they gave us two plastic buckets that they wrote mail on the side of to put closer to the road so the post office would deliver.

I think we've finally gotten to a point in history that the old post office poem needs to be rewritten... something about fat and lazy, if there's bad weather we don't deliver etc.
