![]() This new wrench is amazing. One side is standard SAE and the other end is metric. Why did it take so long to invent something so logical? |
[Civic Class No Longer Taught] “A Soldier’s Journey by John Donnelly” A story such as this should be included in our school curriculum and public discourse. Honest, intelligent and factually based discussions on issues of importance are critical to our survival as a nation. Perhaps an individual of Mr. Donnelly’s caliber, would be willing to facilitate conversations taken into our schools to raise awareness and uplift the consciousness of our children. My understanding is that he has intervened on behalf of parents and students on a multitude of issues. Hope his published work continues to appear in the Coconut Telegraph. |
![]() They already built a new island in the South China Sea on some flats off the Philippines and now they are building a military base on it. Everyone knows China is going to attempt to take over Taiwan, but we don’t know if the US will actually go to war over it after our tragic Mideast experience. Link |

[Integration In Your Face] With most television shows as well as commercials seeming to be pushing the mixed race and mixed sex lifestyles, I have finally decided that my time is better spent watching good shows on Netflix and escaping into the thousands of books in my local library. Hopefully, there will come a time, once again, when our lives aren’t programmed by the entertainment industry. Patience please. |

I’m freezing. I’m going to put on long pants for the first time this year. |

[Destination Fee, Resort Fee, Parking Fee] When you pay $300 for a room you are then nickel and dimed to death by their extra charges that the greedy bastards tack on and you cannot opt out of. They should be illegal. If you advertise a room’s price it should include all mandatory charges. That’s what the price is. |

If women are so perfect at multitasking, how come they can’t have a headache and sex at the same time? |
![]() “Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. ~ Nikita Khrushchev |
![]() [Bird Dog] A pelican befriended a stray dog that was hanging out along the docks. The man who photographed this image adopted the dog and takes him back daily to see his friend. |
[“A Soldier’s Journey”] Is a gripping and grounded rendition shared by a battle wounded Veteran seeking purpose and meaning in life. Our teacher, Mr. Donnelly and students at school, would stockpile clothes donations for the homeless in his classroom. Each winter, on his visits to the Miami VA he would distribute these items to people living on the street. Some students wrote letters and included cassette tapes that he shared with our new-found friends. Mr. Donnelly instructed and taught us through his distinguished service and example. Link |

I ordered 200 checks from Checks In The Mail who were always the cheapest, but no longer. They wanted $60 for 200 duplicates. I went to old faithful, Amazon, and got them for $30! Checks In The Mail used to always be the cheapest. |

![]() [Russian Etiquette] When toasting, after you say “na zdrowie” (cheers, to your health), don’t sip, slug the entire shot, then put the glass down hard to indicate a refill! |
[Expensive Dining] My wife and I went to dinner in KW the other night. Never again! The prices are out right robbery. Are they nuts or what? A typical dinner is over $85 per person! And that’s not including libations. No wonder that dump is failing |
![]() Yes, those Vietnam Veterans that came home alive were treated like garbage. Those days are past. It is our duty to the help those Veterans who served our Country during the other wars and conflicts. Link |
[Vaccines] Mandates work. If everyone got some vaccine the pandemic would be over by Christmas. I’m sorry if your feelings and pride are hurt, but I don’t want you getting me sick, you selfish turnip! |

[Offensive Ads] Totally offensive vintage ads. How did these ever get the green light? Link |
