That Stinks!

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

The German news reported yesterday a gas alarm at the Köln/Bonn airport. Police, fire department and airport security got alarmed after screeners recognized a distinguish gas small coming from one suitcase. Gas cartouches were expected. The owner of the suitcase was found and he had to open the suitcase himself.

Surprise, surprise!

Just a whole bunch of garlic marinated beef.

That stinks!


Can that be trumped by screeners that are threatened by a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a gun?

Dear Natasha Morgan, Director, Tax Refunds Department, IRS

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

I really do not understand why you have chosen to stop mailing me and now start e-mailing me. To every single e-mail address I have. I can nothing but wonder how much money we taxpayers have to come up with again to fix the budget short comes you are creating here!

What is wrong with you?


I also do not understand how you were able to find all my e-mail addresses but failed in putting down the correct SSN. It is 111 22 3333 not 217 53 3569!

What is wrong with you?


I also kindly ask that you please:
  • Use an e-mail address that does not reply with “Recipient unknown”
  • That you avoid using phrases like fiscal activity—for crying out loud—even the commander guy wouldn’t know what the heck that is!
  • Explain what section 497 (c) (12) is. I know section 508 but 497??
  • Inform the hotline so that next time I call in I am neither greeted with laughter nor have to go thru hours of explanation that I am doing nothing else than answering to your e-mail.


Taxpayersly Yours
Frank Kanu
PS: Can I now please have my $439.54?

Who Does He Love More: Mom or Dad?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

One just has to love the language of the little ones…

Two days ago our little one said: “I love you one million dollar Mama.” and then to me: “I love you two miles Papa.”

Who does he love more: Mom or Dad?

Probably the most outstanding comment I ever got:


…



No link to another site, no nothing. In case it was a spammer—I don’t think any blogger will approve a comment like that, right?

Anybody has some other strange ones to share?

Natural brain cell elimination

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers…

Authored by a German ;) ?

How to eat Gummi Bears

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Or better: Gummibären.
After all, the best ones come from Haribo, Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany external.

Anyway, back to the question: How does one eat them?

Where I used to live in Germany most would start by biting the Gummibär’s head off.
Some say that is animal cruelty and just lick them.

How do you eat Gummibären?
