If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
(Robert Frost)
The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
(Robert Frost)
I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.
(Robert Frost)
Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

My sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.
(Robert Frost)
Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.
(Robert Frost)
We dance round in a ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows.
(Robert Frost)
Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar.
(Robert Frost)
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.

No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.
(Robert Frost)
It’s a funny thing that when a man hasn’t anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.
(Robert Frost)
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom… in a clarification of life – not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
(Robert Frost)
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Jake is struggling through an airport terminal with two huge and
obviously heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and
asks: “Have you got the time?”
Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist.
“It’s a quarter to six”, he says.
“Hey, that’s a pretty fancy watch!” exclaims the stranger.
Jake brightens a little. “Yeah, it’s not bad. Check this out…”
And he shows him a time zone display not just for every time
zone in the world, but for the 86 largest metropolis. He hits a
few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says “The
time is eleven till six” in a very West Texas accent. A few more
buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese. Jake
continues, “I’ve put in regional accents for each city. The
display is unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply
astounding.” The stranger is struck dumb with admiration.
“That’s not all…”, says Jake. He pushes a few more buttons and
a tiny but very hi-resolution map of New York City appears on
the display. “The flashing dot shows our location by satellite
positioning”, explains Jake. “View recede ten,” Jake says, and
the display changes to show eastern New York state.
“I want to buy this watch!” Says the stranger.
“Oh, no, it’s not ready for sale yet; I’m still working out the
bugs,” says the inventor. “But look at this,” and he proceeds to
demonstrate. “The watch is also a very creditable little FM
radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can
measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager with thermal paper
printout and, most impressive of all, the capacity for voice
recordings of up to 300 standard-size books, though I only have
32 of my favorites in there so far.” Says Jake.
“I’ve got to have this watch!” Says the stranger.
“No, you don’t understand; it’s not ready.”
“I’ll give you $1000 for it!”
“Oh, no, I’ve already spent more than…”
“I’ll give you $5000 for it!”
“But it’s just not…”
“I’ll give you $15,000 for it!” And the stranger pulls out a
checkbook.
Jake stops to think. He’s only put about $8,500 into materials
and development, and with $15,000 he can make another one and
have it ready for merchandising in only six months. The stranger
frantically finishes writing the check and waves it in front of
him.
“Here it is, ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000.
Take it or leave it.”
Jake abruptly makes his decision. “OK”, he says, and peels off
the watch and hands it to the stranger.
They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away.
“Hey, wait a minute.” Calls Jake after the stranger, who turns
around warily. Jake points to the two suitcases he had been
trying to wrestle through the terminal. “Don’t forget your
batteries.”
A motorist, driving by a Texas ranch, hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road.
The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened.
He then asked what the animal was worth.
“Oh, about $200 today,” said the rancher. “But in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I’m out.”
The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer. “Here,” he said, “is the check for $900. It’s postdated six years from now.”

A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston.
After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they’re too tired to
continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a
nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four
hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four
hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350.
The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so
high. He tells the clerk although it’s a nice hotel, the rooms
certainly aren’t worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is
the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the manager.
The manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that
the hotel has an Olympic sized pool and a huge conference
center that were available for the husband and wife to use.
“But we didn’t use them.” the man complains. “Well, they are
here, and you could have.” explains the manager.
He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows
for which the hotel is famous. “The best entertainers from New
York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here.” the manager says.
“But we didn’t go to any of those shows.” complains the man
again.
“Well, we have them, and you could have.” the manager replies.
No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man replies,
“But we didn’t use it!”
The manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and
agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the manager.
The mnager is surprised when he looks at the check. “But sir,”
he says, “this check is only made out for $100.”
“That’s right,” says the man. “I charged you $250 for sleeping
with my wife.”
“But I didn’t!” exclaims the mnager.
“Well,” the man replies, “she was here, and you could have.”
Two tour groups visited England.
They happened to rent a double-decker bus, with one group downstairs and the other upstairs.
The downstairs group was singing and dancing and the group upstairs just sat there.
Finally, one of the downstairs people went upstairs and asked why they weren’t having as much fun.
“It’s easy for you to relax and have fun,” said one of the upstairs guys, “you have a driver.”

There was a French man, a German man and an American man. They
were all travelling together on a far off island looking for
treasure. They soon ran into a group of canibals who wished to
eat them. The leader spoke up and said:
“Here, you may kill yourselves with a weapon of your choice,
then we shall eat you and save your skins to make our canoes.”
The French man said “Here’s to all the wine in Bordeaux, from my
wonderful country,” then he shot himself in the head.
The German man said “Here’s to all the beautiful women in my
beloved country,” then he stabed himself through the heart.
The American said “Here’s so that you can’t make me into a
canoe,” then he stabbed himself several times all over his body
with a fork.

An elderly couple were driving across the country. The woman was driving when she got pulled over by the highway patrol.
The officer said, “Ma’am did you know you were speeding?”
The woman, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, “What did he say?”
The old man yelled, “He says you were speeding!”
The patrolman said, “May I see your license?”
The woman turned to her husband once again and asked, “What did he say?”
The old man yelled, “He wants to see your license!”
The woman gave the officer her license. The patrolman then said, “I see you are from Arkansas. I spent some time there once and went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen.”
The woman turned to her husband and asked, “What did he say?”
The old man yells, “He said he thinks he knows you!”.

A farmhand in Australia was out checking farm fences in his Landcruiser when he hit something. He radioed the farm for advice.
“There’s a pig stuck in the bullbar and is still alive but he’s kicking and squealing so much I can’t get him free” he said.
“Okay,” said the boss. “In the back of the ‘cruiser there’s a pistol. Put it up to the pig’s head and shoot it. When its body goes all limp you’ll be able to get it off the bullbar and throw it into the bush.”
About 45 minutes later the farmhand called in again, “I did what you said, boss. I shot the pig in the head, he went all limp and I got him out of the bullbar, no problem. But I still can’t go on.”
“Why not?” Asked the boss. “What’s the problem?”
“Well it’s his motorbike … the flashing blue light is jammed under the wheel-arch.”

A young woman in a REALLY skimpy skirt was at the bus stop. When the bus arrived and the doors opened she tried to climb the steps. However, her skirt was too tight and her legs couldn’t move. So, she reached behind her and undid her zipper.
She tried to step up again, and still couldn’t, so she reached behind again and played with the zipper.
She tried to climb the steps again…still no luck. So, as she reached behind again, a pair of strong hands picked her up and placed her on the top step.
“What do you think you’re doing?”, she asked the guy behind her.
“Well, I figured the second time you undid my fly we were at least good friends!”

The American repeated, “What kind of ‘-ese’ are you?”
Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.
The American, now irritated, then yell, “What kind of -ese are you? Are
you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc…”
The Japanese then replied, “Oh, I’m a Japanese!”.
A while later, the Japanese turned to the American and asked, “What kind
of ‘-key’ are you?”
The American, frustrated, yelled, “What you mean what kind of ‘-key’ I am?”
The Japanese said, “Are you a monkey, donkey or a Yankee?”
Two sea monsters were swimming around in the ocean, looking for something to do.
They came up underneath a ship that was hauling potatoes.
Bob, the first sea monster, swam underneath the ship, tipped it over and ate everything on the ship.
A little while later, they came up to another ship, again hauling potatoes.
Bob again capsizes the ship and eats everything onboard.
The third ship they found was also hauling potatoes and Bob once again capsized it and ate everything.
Finally his buddy Bill asked him, “Why do you keep tipping over those ships full of potatoes and eating everything on board?”
Bob replied, “I wish I hadn’t, but I just can’t help myself once I start. Everyone knows you can’t eat just one potato ship.”

A man goes out and buys the best car available in the US or Europe, a 2001 Turbo BeepBeep. It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it runs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and, while doing so, stops for a red light. An old man on a moped, both looking about 90 years old, pulls up next to him.The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks “What kind of car ya got there, sonny?”.The dude replies “A 2001 Turbo BeepBeep. They cost $500,000.”"That’s a lotta money!” says the old man, shocked. “Why does it cost so much?”"Cause this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!” states the cool dude proudly.The old man asks “Can I take a look inside?”"Sure” replies the owner.So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his moped, the old man says “That’s a pretty nice car, alright!”Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320. Suddenly, the guy notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer!Whhhoooooooooossssshhhhhh! Something whips by him!

One day a policeman, a ninja, and a terrorist were on a plane.
The policeman threw his gun out the window for good luck. The
nija threw his sword out the window for good luck. The terrorist

The ninja saw two boys crying. He asked,”Why are you crying?”
The little boys said, “Some idiot threw a sword out the window
and cut our daddy in half.”

“What’s so funny?” The little girl replied, “My dad farted and
the neighbor’s house blew up!”
Unaware that Indianapolis is on Eastern Standard Time and Chicago on Central Standard Time, Bob inquired at the Indianapolis airport about a plane to Chicago.
“The next flight leaves at 1:00 p.m.,” a ticket agent said, “and arrives in Chicago at 1:01 p.m.”
“Would you repeat that, please?” Bob asked.
The agent did so and then inquired, “Do you want a reservation?”
“No,” said Bob, “But I think I’ll hang around and watch that thing take off.”
I was driving down a lonely country road one cold winter day when it began to sleet pretty heavily. My windows were getting icy and my wiper blades were badly worn and quickly fell apart under the strain. Unable to drive any further because of the ice building up on my front window I suddenly had a great idea. I stopped and began to overturn large rocks until I located two very lethargic hibernating rattle snakes. I grabbed them up, straightened them out flat and installed them on my blades and they worked just fine. What! You’ve never heard of . . . wind chilled vipers?
An American tourist was boasting to an Irishman how advanced the Americans are. “Gee, we’ve even put a man on the moon.”
“That’s nothing,” replied the Irishman,” we’re going to put a man on the sun.”
“Don’t be stupid,” said the American,” “he’ll fry before he even gets there.”
“Oh no, he won’t. We’re sending him at night.”

A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in South Africa, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is. “This temple is 1503 years old”, replies the guide. Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure. “Easy”, replies the guide, “the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago”
New research delivers enlightening insight into the sex life of the Scottish male.PreparationFriday night is very much love night for the Scottish man. Arriving back from the pub, having partaken of the traditional Scottish aphrodisiac 12 pints of heavy, a white pudding supper and three pickled onions his mind is set on one thing: love.His lust at fever pitch after the sensuous excitement of a hard night’s dominoes, he approaches his beloved wife, enticing her with gentle words of passion, ‘Any chance of na nookie?’The good lady in question, perhaps over excited by the erotic smell of stale beer or the sensuous vision of pickled onions sticking to his chin, is at first somewhat reluctant. This coy reluctance is expressed with the flirtatious reply, ‘Awaity f*** ya bam.’ForeplayForeplay is very important indeed. This basically consists of the male casting off his lightly soiled Y fronts provocatively at his wife, usually landing skid mark down, as he approaches the bed and singing the ancient Gaelic fertility chant, ‘Here we go, here we go, here we go.’ Upon reaching the bed, he comments proudly on his rampant 8 inches. This is a classic example of alcohol induced double vision.Initial problemsAfter 12 pints, sometimes the man’s Wee Willie Winkle is a trifle reluctant to extend itself (literally). Impotence is very much a blow to the man’s self esteem and the wife has to be very tactful. She will offer gentle and sensitive words of encouragement such as, ‘Ya useless bastard,’ or possibly, ‘It never happens tae ra milkman.’FellatioOral sex is a great favorite with the Scotsman. He approaches his wife with a cheeky invitation, ‘Howl ya like to put yer teeth roon this?’The woman nods willingly and points suggestively to her falsies smiling happily in a bedside tumbler. ‘Go on yersel,’ she says, ‘list dinnae disturb me.’Down to businessEventually the moment comes to consummate their tender love. Again, alcohol induced double vision is an important factor as the man decides which of his willies to use. Sometimes in his excitement, he may suffer from premature ejaculation, a phenomenon he explains to his wife using the poetic phrase, ‘F*** me, I’ve shot ma load.’If this does occur, it is essential he makes up for disappointing his wife by uttering tender and loving compliments such as informing her she’s the nicest woman he’s ever come across. An imaginative lover, the Scotsman, possibly having read that women like to be spoken to dirty, says such things as, ‘Shite, arsehole.’The woman is speechless. The man is now thrusting away, his mind a kaleidoscope of jumbled erotic thoughts. The woman wonders if they should repaint the ceiling. Sometimes she utters a word of encouragement such as, ‘Are you sure it’s in?’Given his level of sexual expertise, the Scotsman’s ideal partner should be a versatile lover specializing in the faked orgasm. This takes the form of a breathless shout, ‘Ooyah, ooyah, gallus big man.’Eventually it’s all over. The man rolls over, wipes his dick on her nightie, falls asleep and commences snoring like a pig.There’s no one in the world that performs quite like a Scotsman a veritable prince in the kingdom of sex.

A curious fellow died one day and was waiting in a long, long line for judgment. He noticed that some people, after they went through the line, were able to go through heaven’s gates. Others were lining up behind satan who was throwing most of them into the eternal fires of hell. Every once in while, though, instead of tossing a poor soul into the fire, he would toss him/her to one side. After watching for hours, the fellow could not resist. He gave up his place in line and went over and tapped satan on the shoulder. ‘Excuse me, sir,’ he said. ‘I’m supposed to be in line for judgment (didn’t want satan to mistake him for someone who had already been condemned to hell) but I couldn’t help but wonder why some of these people are being tossed aside instead of into the fires of hell?’ ‘Oh,’ satan said with a snicker. ‘Those are Oregonians. They’re too wet to burn.’
