THE LONG CATEGORY
1st - Tony Crafter with:
An elderly Welshman is lying on his deathbed. Eyes closed, he can feel the end is not very far away, when he notices the most wonderful aroma.
He realises that his loving wife of nearly sixty years is baking his favourite Welsh cakes.
He manages to muster up enough energy to drag himself out of bed and crawl very weakly to the kitchen.
As his frail, withered hand reaches up to the cake-table, he suddenly feels the whack of a wooden spoon, as his wife barks, "Fuck off, they're for the funeral!"
=
Following fertility treatment, an eighty-odd-year old woman has a baby daughter.
When she comes home, six of her wrinkled pals suddenly turn up drooling, "Gosh! Can we have a look at the baby?"
"No - later!" she huffs. "Have some coffees first."
Coffees finished, they ask, "Can we see her?"
"Later, have some cakes."
After cakes the friends all ask, "Can we see her?"
"Later."
"Why do you keep saying 'later'?" they ask, offended by her unwillingness.
"I have to wait until she cries?"
"Huh? Why?"
"So I can find out where I left her!"
2nd - Rosie Perera with:
Bushido, meaning "Way of the warrior", is a Japanese code of conduct and a way of life, loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. Bushido developed between the 11th to 14th centuries as set forth by numerous translated documents dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. According to the Japanese dictionary Shogakukan Kokugo Daijiten, "Bushido is defined as a unique philosophy (ronri) that spread through the warrior class from the Muromachi (chusei) period."
The core tenets of Bushido date from as early as the 12th century as demonstrated by the earliest translations of Japanese literature and warrior house codes.
Under the Tokugawa Shogunate, Bushido became formalized into Japanese Feudal Law.
Inazo Nitobe, in his book Bushido: The Soul of Japan, described Bushido in this way. "...Bushido, then, is the code of moral principles which the samurai were required or instructed to observe... More frequently it is a code unuttered and unwritten... It was an organic growth of decades and centuries of military career."
=
Bush-ego, meaning "Way of the War President," is an American code of conduct, a swashbuckling way of life, loosely analogous to the Wild West cowboy ethic. Bush-ego developed in the run-up to the 2000 elections and became utterly intolerable in 2004. The turn of events in 2001 was quite instrumental in its ascension.
The core tenets of Bush-ego are:
- be audacious, a pious jackass, a hothead, a jerk, a fraud
- stay the course (Ha! Ha!)
- stand firm on Iraq (Ha! Ha!)
- stop a few terrorists from any attempts at jihad afoot on our territory (Ha! Ha! Ha!)
- read "Pet Goat" stories in your country's hour of terror (Duh!)
- be misunderestimated (Duh!)
- pose for photo ops (Duh!)
- decide, decide, decide! (Duh!)
- outdo Dad at war (Hee, hee!)
Under the Department of Homeland Security, Bush-ego became formalized into a distrust for the rule of law.
Karl Rove, in his book, Bush-ego II: Adieu: The Squashing of Iran, described it in this way: "Bush-ego, then, is a code of immoral principles which allows a brazen perjurer to hijack another country and inject discord and torture on its innocent residents."
3rd - David Bourke with:
