To my family:

I do not care what flavours have been removed, added or restored to the selection available this year in a tin of Quality Street.

If I want to eat something, I shall do so - you only need offer once. If I am offered food and decline it on the grounds that I am full, there is no point offering me five alternative varieties of food - I am full, dammit.

If I want a drink, I shall get one - although the only reason I don't already have one is that all you teetotallers sit there staring me as if I'm about to rush out and lie in the gutter dressed in rags every time I take a sip.

I am not spending my time off getting a last-minute flight to New York, then flying back just in time to go back to work, for the sake of seeing how my sister has decorated her apartment.

Now leave me alone

Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel
Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was
John Milton. He wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he
wrote Paradise Regained.

Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented
Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Ben Franklin were 2
singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered
electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "A
horse divided against itself cannot ." Franklin died in 1790
and is still dead.

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent.
Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log
cabin which he built with his own hands. Lincoln freed the
slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night
of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot
in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show.
This ruined Booth's career.

Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so
deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest
even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in
1827 and later died for this.

The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts
and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started
reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a
network of rivers to spring up. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure
for rabbis. Madman Curie discovered the radio. Charles Darwin
was a naturlist who wrote the Organ of the Species. And Karl
Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.

Just curious: when did this stop being TPD and become the "supposedly genuine goofy exam answers (which are all made up anyway) which everybody read years ago" thread?

[NickFitz]

I always thought this was the drivelling thread.
