» Random Acts of Kindness

A list of acts of random kindness performed by my good self
1. I once saw a puppy who was whimpering because it had hurt it's paw and probably also lost it's master so I slowly and clearly gave it directions to the German embassy.

2. I once gave out life saving anti-polio injections to several potted plants that needed watering

3. I once met a stock exchange broker who was about to jump out of a twenty story window because all his investments had collapsed so I stroked him for a bit, gave him a biscuit and threw a stick for him to chase.

4. I was walking down the street one day when I saw a woman who'd got her brand new patent high heel shoe stuck in a gutter drain so I told not to worry I'm sure that light particles get quantumly entangled with crisp packets

5. I once met a quantum physicist who was all upset because he was worried that his theory concerning light particles, crisp packets and quantum entanglement might be a load of rubbish not to worry because his bum didn't look big in that.

My ethical and philosophical musings on the nature of war
I used to think a war was a competition where a number of men would try to compete to kill each other and whoever managed to kill everyone else but remain alive himself at the end would be the winner and get a trophy. I was amazed that anyone would want to do this and thought it was something I'd never want to do myself when I grew up. Though I had to concede that on the upside you did get a trophy if you won.

Oh yeah, and I also though that Zest soap had the ability to resurrect the dead. Though perhaps i didn't give enough thought to how a dead person was supposed to wash themselves with it.
