On the Ukraine war and a few jokes

From The Irish Times by Naomi O’Leary:

“And yet, in front of my eyes on my laptop screen was the email itself: a message to staff from the UN’s department of global communications, telling them to use: “conflict” or “military offensive” and not “war” or “invasion” when referring to the situation in Ukraine”

I have said this before: the U.N. should require its members to limit the service of their countries’ most senior leaders like Putin to ten years or so. If the countries want to defy such a standard, they can become autarkies like North Korea, but most other countries can ban their export products.

Two poem/jokes

“When’sday” by yours truly

When’sday

Tuesday night ends, so day

Not wines day

Make ammends day

Ill portends day

Regret sins day

Get your pens day

Can’t see? Grab your lens day.

“Joke” by yours truly

Had a joke to tell but forgot it.

Happens a lot, it…

Hate when that happens.

You probably do not.
