Humor:

You can't make this stuff up...

    By Jack Grant

I wonder if they they also make paper out of donkey dung...

Paper made in Sri Lanka from elephant dung was presented to US President George W Bush by former Sri Lankan prime minister Ranil Wickeremesinghe during a visit to Washington in July 2002, according to a media report in Washington.

The Kansas City Star said Wickremesinghe presented Bush with a box of elephant dung writing paper, envelopes and name cards. The elephant, the paper pointed out, is the symbol of Bush's Republican Party, but it was immediately not known whether he has used the paper.

According to the paper, the Sri Lankan company that made personalised stationery for Bush from paper made of elephant dung is asking people to use its products to help the country's dwindling elephant population.

Sheets made of elephant dung have a unique colour and texture, depending on the diet, age and dental health of the elephant that has produced the dung, said Rohan Martis, a sales executive for the company, Maximus.


If they also made paper out of donkey dung, then the two parties could send snail mail to each other expressing their true mutual disdain.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
