Feisty rass claat parrot

A man boards an airliner, takes his seat and is surprised to find a large purple parrot occupying the seat next to him. The aircraft takes off and shortly thereafter a pretty flight attendant walks down the aisle past the man and his seat mate. "Hey, bitch," says the parrot, "bring me a whiskey and soda, and make it snappy!"
The Flight Attendant looks annoyed, but walks on. A minute later, she walks back up the aisle, and the parrot pipes up again: "You lazy bum, where's my whiskey? Hurry it up!"
Visibly flustered, the FA hurries up the aisle and returns quickly with the parrot's drink.
Impressed with the parrot's technique, the man decides to get some quick service for himself. "Hey, bitch," says the man, "get me a dry martini and don't drag your sorry ass - I want it right now!"
The FA turns red with anger and runs to the front of the plane. A moment later, she returns with the First Officer and two burly male flight attendants. The crewmen seize the passenger and the parrot, jerk open the emergency door, and hurl them both out of the airplane at 20,000 feet.
As the two hurtle out the door, the parrot says to the man: "Ya know, for someone who can't fly, you got a lotta balls."

France vs. Italy

Billions will watch with anticipation on Sunday, as football Giants France and Italy battle for the World Cup.

In my predictions during Germany '06, I was was wrong on Argentina vs. Germany, and on Brazil v France.

Should I stick my neck out one more time. Hell yes. Nothing to lose, not even ego.

France, I think will relieve the Chianti warriors from any bother of taking that cup back to Rome, or Milan or wherever they were thinking of.

Lets see if that is right.

Who do you like? Don't worry if your favorites are already out. Join the club, my faves, Brazil, are out, and they are still my number 1.

Comment with your votes - France or Italy?

Brazil, sorry, see you next time.

I was unhappy to see Brazil depart yesterday, although I have always knows that Henry was dangerous, in fact I was saying that in the days before the match.

I am however elated with England's departure, whoever it is that was heroic enough to remove them, Portugal's penalties in this instance.

Looking forward to the Semi's - tell me, who do you like? Dr. D likes Germany, I know that already. They have to play Italy, I think, and Portugal vs. France - who do you like.

I know who I like, and that is Italy, but they were unable to beat USA who only had 9 men!

I would say its either Germany or France who will lift that ugly looking but much coveted cup.

Cricket:

West Indies just completed the Indian tour of the Caribbean.

West Indies won the ODI's convincingly, 4-1. Today, India won the test series by winning the only match with a result, 1-0.

This tour by India was an opportunity for those who had time to see that Windies are on the rise again, and like a Phoenix, they will rise from.. well you know the rest.

Denesh Ramdin batted a monster of an innings to day, and the WI were all out, 49 short of the requirement. Anyway, the Windies will not be playing for a while now, so my cricketing content will be reduced, much to the relief of my non-cricketing bloggionistas.

My boys are both fine now, just finishing off the medication. No swimming allowed for them in the mean time - hopefully they can swim next week - they are now on summer holidays and need activities designed to tire them into long bouts of peacecul slumber.

Now it will be time to get back to school shoes, backpacks, lunchkits, socks, and the Lord only knows what else. They are more high maintenance than me. All I need are a few beers an cigars and I am good.

Until the next time, Sayonara.
