From Elinor too.


The Irish Railway Company


The following is an actual exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company - Larnrod Eireann.


Gentlemen,
I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours truly,
Patrick Finnegan


--------------------------------
Dear Mr. Finnegan,
We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.
Sincerely,
Larnrod Eireann.


-----------------------------------


Gentlemen,
I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass.
That.... gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!
Yours truly,
Patrick Finnegan.

Q: Do radioactivity, radiation and radioactive material have the same meaning in the following sentences?

Thanks.



Tiny amounts of radioactivity from Fukushima have now traveled at least halfway across the world, as far as America's East coast.

We caught up with the health director in Maryland, where radiation from Fukushima was detected in the air and rainwater.

When radioactive material gets into the atmosphere and can travel around into the weather patterns, it gets diluted as it goes along.

Hello Elinor:

Hi Lily,

Thanks a lot!

I thought they were the same. After checking over the information on the internet, I finally realize they are different.

Thanks, Elinor.

One question, what do witches do for April Fools?

The following joke is from Elinor again.

Three rotten old Grandmas were sitting
on a bench outside a nursing home when
a Grandpa walked by.

And one of the Grandmas yelled out,
'We bet we can tell exactly how old you are.'
The old man said, 'There is no way you can
guess it, you old fools.'

One of the old Grandmas said, 'Sure we can!
Just drop your pants and under shorts
and we can tell your exact age..'

Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove
they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers.
The Grandmas asked him to first turn around
a couple of times and to jump up and down several times.
Then they all piped up and said, 'You're 87 years old!'

Standing with his pants down around his ankles,
the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess?'

Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear,
the three old ladies happily yelled in unison - -




'We were at your birthday party yesterday!'

Another sharing from Elinor.
