DON’T PULL MY LEG!

NO BUTTER IN RESTAURANTS! NO TOYS FOR KIDS! THE NEXT WILL BE THE AIR FROM LOS ANGELES

By Frank Elias Georgalis

Please understand that one big part that played a major roll in the failing of Ancient Greek Empire was that the leaders tried to make a perfect society. It is virtually impossible to make a perfect society, beings made up of imperfect people. It’s also impossible to make perfect people by using severe discipline methods and putting together unjust and illogical laws. The politicians think that can do it. They think they can fix anything with the nod of the head and the stroke of the pen as warlords think they can do it with the swinging of the sword.

In my opinion, the government should do its best to make its citizens contented and not contained.
As it seems now, this is not an article about Ancient Greece and Greeks; neither a literary masterpiece; this is an article about American laws and lawmakers.
I strongly believe that we humans are governed by the laws of nature, and I fear, we are as cruel as nature. The laws of nature govern humans with an iron fist: therefore we tend to become as wretched as we are taught to be. Copying nature’s way of governing the earth, leaders of the world are making laws to govern the people. Nature passes down to humans her wishes, which are her laws. Nature has no mercy; it has no remorse and never repents.
Now, look at the laws that humans have designed, not alone some are merciless and contradictory but some of them are also silly to say the least.
I will never be able to understand, how serious minded people with families and friends that look up to them, can sit and pass silly and insignificant laws and expect people to obey them. That’s what this article is all about.
About five years ago the law makers of New Jersey, persuaded by the then, Surgeon General, who had some bones to pick with eggs, to pass a law prohibiting the serving of sunny-side-up fried eggs in the restaurants. The law was passed with flying colors, making it a health violation for restaurants to serve sunny-side-eggs, including the serving of Caesar’s salad, because it’s made with raw egg. If the restaurateurs would be caught breaking the law, they were subjects to stiff fines and the chance of losing their license to operate and cause many people to lose their jobs. I have always said that the legislators make laws without taking the consequences into consideration. The state went ahead and hired several additional inspectors who knew zero about food and food products. The costumers, being refused sunny-side-up eggs and Caesar’s salad, became so heated up, threatened the restaurant employees with violence and some restaurateurs resorted into closing their places of business for breakfast. Listen to this: The costumers didn’t go wild for being in love with sunny-side-up eggs, they felt their rights were being stepped on by the big foot of the law. Restaurant owners, many of their employees including waitresses and cooks, a lot of sunny-side-up egg lovers and some others citizens, seeing their rights being pulled from under them, marched into Trenton, the state capital of New Jersey and protested the law, to the point where it seemed the whole situation was critical. While they protested they showed signs of madness with violence, threatening to burn Trenton to the ground and to turn it back to farm land; it was impossible to guess the outcome. If they weren’t promised by the governor that the law would be abolished and off the law books a bad thing would have turned to worse. Incidentally the law was abolished and the cost law came to over two million dollars. Is this any way to run a state?
Another New Jersey Law 2C-34-! It reads as follows; a sexual activity with another person in exchange of something of value is prostitution and the house where the act of sex takes place is marked as the house of ill-repute and is a subject to governmental confiscation. Up to this point the law may be understood and acceptable, when but the lawmakers attempt to make an effort to define the something of value, then the law becomes sticky to say the least. The way the law reads, most of the women who live with men, have sex with the men even after a men paid for dinner and who have not taken out a marriage licenses, are whores. It seems to me the greed of monetary value of the law makers, which stands out like the donkeys ears, aided them to write the law that is disregarding any feelings of bond or mental attachment for one another, which may be called love and puts the emphasis on their favorite object which is money . Do you know how many whores are in your town, according to the laws of prostitution? I would say thousands.
Listen to this, I am not making this up, it is a law in the books. The law says that if two people are having dinner in a restaurant, one pays for what they consumed and both go to the same house or hotel or motel not even to have sex, or to touch each other they are guilty of prostitution. Listen to this! They don’t have to be caught touching each other or having sex, if the lights go off and stay off, over fifteen minutes, according to the law, it is a proof of sexual activity is taking place in there and the law enforcing agents including the traffic cops have the right to break down the door to get in and arrest the persons and charge them with prostitution Thank God they passed the Privacy Act in 1974 and stopped some of the law enforcement agents intruding without a warren which is not hard to get. I would like to invest some time and follow a daughter of a high ranking politician and her lover from the restaurant to their house, wait for fifteen minutes after the lights go off, call for a search warren, go in with a police and have them arrested and charged them with prostitution and it should stick according to the way the law is written. She is not above the law and she should be prosecuted convicted and go to jail like most prostitutes. Oh, the high ranking politician, who is saying that, nobody is above the law, would have another high ranking politician to pardon both of them like the presidents do on their way out, pardoning criminals in favor of political donations.
In my opinion, one of the most fascinating books that’s ever been written is Doctor Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelly when she was only 19 years old. The fascinating plot of it is Doctor Frankenstein stricken with mega-mania, like most politicians and scientists, created a monster, stronger than he was that eventually killed him. If anyone puts together all the laws we have in the books, will end up with a monster capable of destroying all of us.
The Kinsey report says that if all the laws that are written and are in the books of city, state and federal government are enforced, 35% of the American population would be in prison.
There is a law in the law books of the State of New Jersey, that prohibits the use of elephants pulling the plow. That makes as much sense to anyone as Aunt Ely saying, when asked if she would like a piece of stake or to get married, her reply was that she had no teeth to eat a steak. I wasn’t aware of the elephant population in the state of New Jersey until one day, while I was driving south on the Garden State Parkway I saw a bunch of elephants, some sitting by the side of the road and other were standing, as if they were hitch-hiking and going south. I am being a little silly right now but not as silly and ridiculous as the people who wrote and passed the law.
I don’t think there is anybody who has seen a loose elephant in the State of New Jersey in the last 5,000 years.

Hold on to your hat. I heard that Arnold the California Governor is thinking of passing a law that bars BUTTER from being served in restaurants. To make life more interesting for me on this earth, I watch people, who are having expensive suits, neckties from Nemus Markus, and have people who love them and more who follow them, are making fools out of themselves. Listen to this: The New York State legislators, hearing what Arnold is preparing to do with the butter, put their heads together and now are working on a law to bar salt from the restaurants. Aren’t you laughing yet? The cripple pig can’t stop laughing. Please somebody tell me why are they doing this?
Some will say that is a good law for our health; we all know, they may say, that butter and salt is no good for us. That answer is brilliant. Another question must follow though; How about Sugar? How about French fries? How about red meat? How about bacon? How about cheese? Start learning to eat pizza without the cheese; pork and beans without the pork, cheeseburgers without the meat and cheese?. Turnips and cabbage, collard greens and green beans soon will be the only things we can eat without being punished. If they can move it an inch they can move it a mile. If they get away passing those laws they can starve us to death.
I tried very hard to figure out if there is some untold information that is revealing; the consumption of butter and salt would cause some outbreak of contiguous disease that could wipe off some the innocent population who don’t eat butter and salt. But there ain’t it. The closest I can come is to think that those serious minded people who called themselves politicians, think that they are mothers: my mother? I don’t need a mother who can be that stupid. Breaking the law would be a crime and crime is always followed by the punishment. Now they are going to insert into law that if anybody who is caught bringing salt and butter on his or her person is going to be subject to fine and for the repeaters of the violation is imprisonment. It’s in the history books that punishment always acceded the crime. Hammurabi, the Babylonian King, who had some good feelings and concerns about the poor and the underprivileged citizens, in the year of 1750 BC came up with the law called The Hammurabi Code, stating “An eye for eye and an arm for an arm.” The purpose of the law was not to allow the authorities to impose a punishment to accede the crime. But Hammurabi is dead, there have been many cases recently where the punishment was prodigiously cruel (That will be one of my future articles). Can you imagine you, going to prison for liking salt and butter? Just think, when you are walking around in the prison yard and you are asking an inmate why he is in for; which question is traditional in prison yards, the inmates would answer, for rape, or bank robbery, or assault with a deadly weapon, but when the inmate asks you why you’re in, what would be your answer? Bringing butter and salt into the restaurant? Don’t do it! These guys would think that you are pulling their leg. They are serious minded men too. They don’t like to have their leg pulled; they’ll pull your nose off your face, and your limbs off their sockets. Think now, is the liking of butter and salt worth all that pain. A bad act is made up of two parts, the thought and the deed.

Tune in next week for Part 2. You’ll read about silly laws, which can be damaging to the public. You’ll learn about dormant laws that can be deployed at a moment’s notice, which can infringe on citizen’s rights.

 

THE SHIP OF SHAME

HE 

By

Frank Elias Georgalis

I would like to ask for forgiveness from my readers for not posting anything for the last two months. The reason is that I was robbed of my computer and all my documents on November 6^th. I was not only angry and furious at the ones who stole my computer but I was ashamed and disappointed at myself for allowing this to happen. The loss of my property was not as hurtful to me as the loss of my pride. To find some peace of mind, I searched for a place where shame doesn’t live there anymore. I realized that misery loves misery and I wanted to be in the place of shame. I also realized that the loss of pride is salt on an open wound and is definitely escorted by shame. Having a little knowledge of the Holy Bible and respecting its contents, looking through it, I found the scripture, “Pride and Haughtiness comes before destruction”. I then felt that the Holy Bible is wrong in this verse and I also felt that nobody can live without the sense of pride. Getting rid of pride, shame is born which is the first cousin of indignity. Can anyone imagine living in a place where there is no dignity? If we live in a world without dignity we live in a place where we do not care what other people think of us. I shall declare with as much power in my voice as the Lord allows me, that without pride one has no dignity. I shall not tell you to shout out loud at the world that this is the first place you have heard this, it has been said before and I am sure you’ve heard it, but I will refresh your memory by telling you that we are social creatures, therefore we must always have in mind what other people think of us that is pride. I believe our creator has inserted in our brain the craving of pride for us to behave; but why is the scripture of the bible is trying to do away with it? That question I wouldn’t touch, not even with a ten foot pitchfork. I wasn’t going to be another Bernie Goldberg, the well known Fox News Columnist who uttered an answer without thinking, while he was being interviewed by Bill Reilly. He is a VIP with Fox News and he recently published an article about the character of the rich people of America who are about to be given tax cuts like everybody else and many people resent that. According to what I understood, he presented the rich people as philanthropists, philosophers, caring for the poor, hard working and more or less, according to his article, they are the angels in disguise. According to my beliefs, he was half right and yet half wrong. Hearing a well regarded person of fame and fortune saying that rich people of America are angels in disguise did not bother me at all, because I haven’t come in contact with too many rich people to judge them. The wrong popped up when Bill Reilly heard about the rich people, asked him why then Jesus said, according to the holy bible, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the hole of the needle than for a rich man to go to heaven. Bernie without the slightest degree of hesitance, without looking up, without looking down, never changing the tone of his voice answered “We do not live with the bible anymore.” According to what I heard, he implied that Holy Bible is an old piece of paper that was written a long time ago and is obsolete. Doesn’t he know that Holy Bible is and has been the biggest seller all over the world? Was he by any chance trying to tell that those who read the bible are idiots? Wasn’t he ashamed of himself making such a statement? Is this man playing with a full deck? Dear Mr. Goldberg, Instead of you trying to be politically correct you should have said to Bill Reilly that, it is true that Jesus had said that but one must bear in mind during the life of Jesus, most of the wealthy were the Sadducees, the Pharisees and the Secretariats who were taking the money by fooling the people. But today’s wealthy, here in America, are different breed of people and most of them are what I have written in my article and furthermore the law is watching and monitoring their activities, you should have said. The answer that Mr. Goldberg came up went over Bill Reilly’s head like water over duck’s ass.  Goldberg was more or less telling Bill Reilly that there is no God. Bill Reilly, whom I didn’t regard him as a dummy and who has made a fortune selling his books, took it without raising an eyebrow. Here I was facing two men who made million of $, by passing on to us information of their opinions, which most of us have accepted and paid money to buy it; one was talking from the top of his head and the other was acknowledging it by simply saying nothing but kept on shaking his head in agreement like a toy dog in the back of a Puerto Rican car. I then realized that these people like many others, will do or say anything to make a buck. They are in the profession of “Business of Fooling the Public”. The profession of “Business of Fooling the Public” is the oldest profession in the world. It started with Eve fooling Adam. “Business of Fooling the Public” was developed into an art by politicians who have come to govern the world. Doctors by selling dainty remedies for non-existing disorders, are in the Business of Fooling the Public, became wealthy: lawyers making mountains out molehills, they too became rich, writers and philosophers, who are trying to remodel the world with words have made a name for themselves. So, my dear friends, the profession of the “Business of Fooling the Public” is not only the oldest profession in the world, it is also the most lucrative. To make matters worse, we the people vote for crooked politicians over and over again: we worship doctors, we admire lawyers, and we read the writers’ writings and quote philosophers’ sayings all day long. So the “Business of Fooling the Public,” is not only the oldest profession in the world or the most lucrative, it is also the most respected profession in the world. I come to believe that the performers of the business of fooling the public take and take without shame. The question before the house is whether I would like to be a member of the profession of the business of fooling public. Only a fool would say NO. Do I want to put my pride behind me and join the rest of them? Wait a minute! Just wait a darn minute! Now I know the meaning of the Bible scripture “Pride and Haughtiness come before disaster” it is not wrong as I first thought. The Holy Bible is more or less telling us to put our pride behind us if we wish to survive and be successful, which is logical to me, so I come to believe that the world is divided between the fools, who are sailing on THE SHIP OF FOOLS  and the ones who are in the “Business of Fooling the Public” and are sailing on THE SHIP OF SHAME Thus, without having to go too far to find the Land of Shame, I founded it in my living room watching TV.

Dear visitors, stick around, I will take you to many places that belong to the LAND OF SHAME. There you will meet many people that you never suspected them of living in THE LAND OF SHAME.

In the meantime, keep those nice letters coming, they make me feel that I am on the right trail that leads to fame and fortune, “The business of Fooling the Public”, the oldest profession in the world.



Politically Correct



WHO LOVES YOU BABY?

Or is it: HASTA LA VISTA BABY?
By
Frank Elias Georgalis

We finally heard from Arnold Schwarzenegger the other day, coming out of the Republican Closet, to the defense of Obama and speaking against the Republicans. That’s the way to do it, Baby, then say Hasta La Vista to the Republican Party and to politicking. .
The Obama’s Stimulus Plan you are using to shoot, is as real as those “make believe” weapons they had you use in all your horror movies. You know, you speak with an accent but do you think with one, too? I speak with an accent, so is Henry Kissinger, former President Jimmy Carter, Winston Churchill and many, many other important people, but you sound as if you are thinking with one. I have no great love for the Republicans either, but they deserve to be shot at by something of substance. You said you were proud of Obama for designing a stimulus plan which provided 150,000 jobs, not 149, 000 not 151,000; I suppose 150,000 is a nice round number for the state of California. You see, Governor, when you are speaking to me, I saw you looking at me when you made that statement. When you are speaking to people you should know something about them. Just because we are speaking with an accent, it doesn’t mean we think with one. I must tell you that when I was a young boy, Arithmetic and I were so close, we wore the same under shorts at the same time; (Kolos kai Vraki) is called in Greek. When we grew up, and arithmetic became Mathematics, we still lived together. Mathematics and I still wear the same underwear at the same time. You can’t get any closer than that. So, you see, we know each other very well and when it comes to Arithmetic and Mathematics you can’t fool us. There may people as close to arithmetic and mathematics as I, and don’t forget; you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time. The media has mentioned the fact, rather emphatically and often, when the Obama administration bragged the amount of jobs that were created by the Obama Stimulus Economic Plan. The media said that each job cost the American taxpayer over $264,000. I don’t have an idea how much money the state of California received to create jobs, but I bet you dollar to donuts the price of each job runs very close to the cost of the National average. This reminds me of a good story and I must tell it.
An old Greek goat shepherd lost his donkey up on the mountains and went to the 1,000 year old monastery of Prophet Elias and prayed to the prophet to help him to find his friend the donkey. Three days later he retuned, crying to the prophet, that he hasn’t found his donkey.
“But if I find my donkey, I will sell the donkey and will give you $5.00,” cried the old shepherd. Three days later, he returned.
“Prophet Elias, I know you are Miracle Saint, but it is not wrong for you to want more than $5.00. I will give you $25.00 if you’ll help me to find my donkey,” said the old man on his knees again. The third time he returned, rather indignant; got on his knees again, sighed loudly, looked and said, “Prophet Elias, you are bargaining with me now. If
I find my donkey, I will sell it and I will give you all the money I collect for the donkey. You see, Prophet Elias, I want to find my donkey before the wolves do and eat him.”
Three days later the old man got down on his knees again looked, smiled and said, “Thank you, Prophet Elias, I found my donkey. I will sell him and I will give all the money that I’ll collect. After all, a bargain is a bargain and I shall keep my end of the bargain

The old man, the following day, took the donkey and a rooster and went to the market to sell them both, but he marked the price for the donkey $5.00 and the price for the rooster at $95.00 and remarked they both must be sold together. He sold the donkey and the rooster. The man who bought them went home and bragged to his wife and the neighbors that he bought a donkey from a stupid old shepherd for $5.00.
“Why don’t you tell them the truth?” yelled his wife. “You bought a rooster for $95.00.” You see, Arnold, the American people bought a rooster for $95.00 but they are told that they bought the donkey for $5.00. That is what my friends, Arithmetic and Mathematics are telling me, and THEY DON’T LIE.

The rooster went for $95     The donkey went for $5

I don’t know how Prophet Elias took it, being fooled my the old shepherd, but my friends and I, including Arithmetic and Mathematics don’t like it at all, when some politicians are trying to put the wool over our eyes.

 

Silly Laws

By Frank Elias Georgalis

Who is behind the Green Door?

Legislators, That’s who.

Legislative Satire

Before I say anything I would like to take the time to apologize to my readers for being late in bringing out this article. The main excuse is that when we began to dig for silly municipal, state federal laws, we were lost in an ocean of silly laws. Let us take a few minutes and see what the legislative geniuses of Alabama have to say. Here is one: incestuous marriage are legal, but you better not sell peanuts in Lee County after sundown on Wednesdays, or driving a car while blindfolded, or open an umbrella in the public street or wear a mask in public streets or you may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket, these are some of the laws that clearly tells the intelligence of the law makers.

Let us go up for a little bit. Here we are; Illinois is good stay and check out Obama’s hometown, Chicago. For the life of me, I don’t know why he refers Chicago as his hometown. He was born in Hawaii, lived the first ten years of his life in Jakarta Indonesia. He didn’t come to Chicago until he was over twenty five year sold.

Let us see what Champaign the city of the University of Illinois has to offer.

One may not pee in his neighbor’s mouth.  They either have a lot of pissers there or they mean something else. I think they are talking about oral sex. They must have picked that up from the Ten Commandments, Thou will love thy neighbor: and to me any sexual act is accompanied by love. Bill Clinton disputed that but he eventually came to his senses and accepted oral sex as a real sex act. You see, those laws are not as silly and as dumb as they seem. In fact they are very smart. They say one thing and they mean another. If that law about peeing in the neighbor’s mouth were written according to its meaning, the city would have a mini revolution by the thousands by the university students.

The other is; it is forbidden eating in a place that is on fire. Can anyone imagine 100 hobos roasting hot dogs and marshmallows while the firemen are battling the flames and the hobos add more wood to finish their roasting process? All the legislators are politicians and we all know politicians never say what they mean and they don’t mean what they say. They all know how to cover their ass.

I will go on and give you some of those silly laws and see if you can figure out their meaning.

Crystal Lake

If one wishes to plant new sod in his or her yard in the summer months, that person may not use the city’s water to water it.

Evanston

Bowling is forbidden.

It is unlawful to change clothes in an automobile with the curtains drawn, except in case of fire.

Cicero

Humming on public streets is prohibited on Sundays

Crete

Cars may not be driven through the town.

Many, many more are coming your way soon
