  Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
  This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this.  It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!!  They put in a correction the next day.
  I just couldn’t help but send this along. Too funny.

• Changing the New Zealand Flag – Humour

  04Feb
  Categories: Humour Comments Off
  As a child, i grew up in a normal New Zealand school (several actually!) , the one thing we really hated doing drawing was the new zealand flag.

  First you had to get blue paper, or colour the whole damned thing blue (which took HOURS), Then do a square of some sort on the top left and do your cross inside that. Then once you had that you put the diagonal lines through the cross. It was about then you realized the flag actually has white lines either side of the cross and they are already coloured in so you would madly try and get that in. Then you had to try and guess where the stars went and if it was NZ that had 5, or Australia? and how come Australia have a 5th star? are we abnormal ? can we not count ? does this make them better than us?

  Eventually we would end up with something that looked like this

  

  Not so pretty huh? but now apparently we have a Maori flag, to be honest most people in NZ are not Maori, and that’s just as hard to draw!

  

  So now there is suggestion that we have a whole NEW flag, at which point i thought AHHH!!! BRILLIANT!

  Now we can be like overseas flags, using just 3 stripes (only 3 crayons and a ruler required!!), or even like the Japanese with a large round polka dot (looks like somebody head butted it!).

  

  I have to say, even Switzerland have a brilliant flag, which is easy to draw, even if it does get mistaken for a first aid stop!

  

  If we decide on using the Union Jack again maybe we can simplify it. Stripes seems to be a fairly common theme according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_striped_flags

  so I’ve come up with a few ideas of my own. All are simple and easy to draw, I have tried to make them as Modern as possible, and they should appeal to Maori and White New Zealanders and really anyone online. The best one I believe is the more simple one. Easy for kids to draw, easy for anyone to identify with because im sure EVERYONE has felt this way before.

  What is it you ask?

  

  Post your ideas in the comments – including pics!

  ps. This is said in humour, entirely in jest. No offence is meant to anyone.

• Funny Painting of 3 men story … NSFW

  18Jan
  Categories: Humour Comments Off
  An older couple at an art exhibition were staring at a painting that
  had them completely confused.
  The painting depicted three black men totally naked sitting on a park
  bench.
  Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a
  pink penis.
  They asked the curator of the gallery for an interpretation.He explained how it represented the sexual emasculation of African-Canadians in predominately white, patriarchal society.
  “In fact,” he pointed out,”some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.

  After the curator left, a man with a noticeable maritime accent approached the couple and said, “Would yous’ like to know what the painting is really all about?”

  The couple looked at the man with some degree of suspicion……
  How & why” asked the couple, ”could you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of this gallery?”
  “Because I’m the guy who painted it,” he replied. “In fact, there’s no African-Americans shown here at all.
  They’re just three Cape Breton coal-miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch
