My Thanks to gafisher

My inspiration for this post is from a comment written by gafisher as a reply to my “????? The Taser” post.
“That’s shocking,” said Tom swiftly. (I wonder how many people remember that category of jokes.)
I found that comment hilarious and I am running with it.
Sheila Tolley

Tom Swiftie (or Tom Swifty) jokes always include a quoted sentence linked by a pun to the way it’s attributed. These jokes became popular in the 1960s and are based on the “Tom Swift” book series from the early 20th century.

????? The Taser

One of the inventors of the Taser, John H. Jack Cover, named it after his literary hero, Tom Swift. The word is actually an acronym for Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle. Cover just added the “A” to Tom Swift’s name.

He came up with the idea sometime in the late 1960’s, when he read an article about a man who accidentally walked into an electric fence, and the shock made him unable to move for a few minutes. He created the Taser to help law enforcement officers stop the rampant cases of airplane hijackings.

CATHY’S CORNER

The Iranian People are out in the streets in New York, and Los Angeles showing their joy and gratitude to America and Israel,  for coming to their rescue from the horrible regime that wanted to kill everyone, including their own people. Many of you may not have been born or just babies when they ousted the Shaw of Iran and took over the country and people with their horrible religious dictatorship.  It was 1979 when the Shaw of Iran was ousted. President Carter was in the White-house then. Ever since the Iranian people have lived in a true Religious dictatorship. Believe it or not at one time The women and young men of the 70’s era was very much like the normal young people in America.  They dressed like us, women in miniskirts, men in tight fit Jeans. They had a life style much like us, they went to colleges and dances. Once the Ayatollah Khomeini took over Feb. 1, 1979, the people lost the everyday life style as they knew it.  Women had to do away with the western clothing.  After the Revolution it became mandatory for the women to wear the Hijab. There was dedicated morality police to ensure that women’s clothing met the standards of covering the head, neck, arms and legs. If you did not obey, you could be lashed or face imprisonment.  For three years, Universities were shut down to Islamify the curriculum.  They went back to the cave days. 

In 1979 Iranian Regime seized the U.S. Embassy taking 66 Americans Hostage in a 444-day standoff. For over a year the American people listened to the News every night wondering and praying for the care and safety of our American Hostages.  

Over the years these evil dictators would often make threats of “Death to America”, “Death to Israel”. 14 countries condemn Iran’s plots to Kill, Kidnap and Harass Citizens abroad.  I guess I can now say that those evil leaders met their avenger.  For years people walked on egg shells around them, Obama sent a plane with wood pallets of $400 million in cash to Iran.  Then in Aug.  2016 In order to appease them, Biden handed over $ 16 Billion to Iran.   Isn’t it crazy to just keep feeding the evil doers our money so that they can keep enriching Uranium to in turn kill us, Israel and whomever is in their way. 

Thank You President Trump, and Secretary of War for wise and appropriate leadership. Those people will now start rebuilding and normalizing their Country to be good, and prosperous people. They are grateful and we are also (Except for the Democrats)  They only want to belly ache at any and all things.

Flying over the North Pole of Mars
Video Credit: ESA, Mars Express, VMC; Processing & License: Simeon Schmauß

Explanation: If you could fly over the North Pole of Mars, what would you see?  Images from ESA’s Mars Express mission in 2019 were compiled into the featured video which shows just such a trip. First you see below you a landscape tinted orange by rusted iron in the fine soil, with some land appearing darker due to exposed rock. Soon the northern polar cap comes into view, mostly white because of its reflective frozen water. Surrounding the polar cap is the North Polar Basin, a layered depression covered with dust and sand. The frames in the featured video were captured during northern Martian Spring when the carbon-dioxide ice is evaporating, leaving the underlying water-ice in the cap. Mars Express continues to study the Martian surface and look for clues about the Red Planet’s ancient climate and potential for life.

Monday Morning Meme Madness

Da Sign

Two Cajun Pastors

Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road.

They were both on the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read: ‘Da End is Near Turn Yo Sef ‘Roun Now Afore It Be Too Late!’

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, ‘You religious nuts!’ From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash…

Boudreaux turns to Thibodaux and asks, ‘Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay…… ‘da Bridge be Out?’
