2007 Roundup

Here's jus a round-up of the best bits of the stuff I posted over in LJ throughout 2007. It's been uite fun looking back, actually. I'd forgotten about half of it.

January 3rd

A "Joke"

A guy told me a joke today:

Q: What's the skin around a vagina called?
A: A woman.

Needless to say, I was not impressed.

Shooting

In films or on TV, whenever there's a shootout, no-one ever pretends to be shot. That's what I'd do. As soon as people start shooting one another, I'd fall to the ground, as if I'd been shot, and then that way you could probably get away alive.

Isn't it obvious?

How come we judge people by their hair colour? Why is it such an important point of someones identity?

And why are there preconceptions because of hair colour. Like blondes are stupid, etc.

I wish everyone had the same hair colour. It would make life so much easier for those of us who are stuck with a colour that has the mickey taken out of it.

Isn't it strange, how, if a woman is all for women's rights, she's a feminist; whereas, if a man is all for men's rights, he's a sexist?

I am a woman by the way, before anyone says anything.

Another Little Thing That Made Me Smile

"War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."

Okay, okay. No more American-bashing for today...

Friendly Fire

There's a saying that people used to use during the second world war in Britain, and I thought it was relevent to today as well:

When the Germans drop their bombs, the British duck. When the British drop their bombs, the Germans duck. When the Americans drop their bombs, everybody ducks.

It just made me smile.
