Art.

I can do landscapes and possibly still life but not a great deal else. No doubt if I practised I'd get better, but again that would mean slogging away at something I wouldn't be very good at and I don't like doing that.

Yeah, when it becomes effort I lose interest.
It's a bit like writing music - collaborating with someone keeps the motivation going but when I'm working on my own it's nowhere near as much fun.

A couple goes to a sex theorpist and says "Doc, you need to help us, our sexlife is in tatters, the very thought of doing those things makes us phsyicly ill...
... I don't know what to do !"
So the theropist says "On the way home, get some grapes and a dougnut, then when you get home, get her to ley down with her legs shut, and put a grape an inch apart going from her knee up to her vagina, and eat them all up. Then, when you're done, it's his turn. Lay down and put a doughnut around your errect member and get her to eat it all up."

Well, they do so, and they have the best sex of their lives, better than their wedding night !

So they were talking a friend couple about this theorpist and say "You have to go see him, he'll help you out". And off the went.

"Ok, I'm not a usual sex theoropist, first I will have to examine you, and if I feel I can't help, no charge". The sex theoropist examines them one by one and says "Sorry I can't help.". "But why can't you help? We're desporate to try anything, please, we'll pay anyway, even if it doesn't work."

So the theopist says "Ok, on the way home, pick up an apple and a box of cherios....".

A rabbi, a priest and an Imram are at a function about inter-faith issues.
They have all managed to knock down racisism, and restore the local children's playground together. A women with a tray of martinis walks past and the priest takes one and says "Brothers, will you join me in a drink to a continued relationship between our congrigations?" and takes a glass.
The Rabbi goes "Sure, why not?" and takes a glass.
The Imram then goes "Drink alchole? I would rather commit adultery than let that poison cross my lips".
It was then then the Rabbi puts his drink done and says "Sorry, I didn't realise we had a choice".
