Tír Na HiFi

How about thread about the lighter side of life?

I'll start with this:

Some younger folk may not get this visual joke :)

Good idea John.

Not sure if this qualifies but it rocks my boat as a skit on bad modern music

And a bit of lip synching

I had a day of Jimmy Fallon youtube enjoyment the other day. "Mean Tweets" and "Pedestrian Question" kept me entertained.

Read this today:

It's a slow day in the small town of Pump handle and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

(Stay with this..... and pay attention)
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute,
who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the motel and pays off her room bill with the hotel Owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveller will not suspect anything

At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory,
picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee.

And that, my friends, is how a "government stimulus package" works

That's an old one John but still scary. Isn't that how all the super bank traders do it?
