Re: [Goanet] Joke For The Day
Thank you too, JC, for pointing out my typo. Didn't know you and Roland were "good friends." So, in the true spirit of friendship you have come to the defence of Roland. You couldn't resist the temptation of coming to your friend's aid. in this context, I give you a classic example of an Irish Bull from the writings of Oscar Wilde, " I can resit everything except temptation." As for me, I can quote Woody Allen, "I am not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens." So, JC, I won't read your stuff if it pertains to me. To conclude, I say let there be "chaotic order or orderly chaos". JC, you are nothing but an oxymoron.

Re: [Goanet] Joke For The Day
My responses (jc) to what Eugene Correia (EC) wrote to VJP wrt a post by my good friend Roland Francis: EC1: Yeah, VJP ...Irish Bull is a statement that defies logic and syntax but manages to be communicative. jc1: Thank you Eugene. I was looking for a term to describe your various posts. I now have found a term which fits them "perfectamente". EC2: BTW, I read Roland's article on Fiona Pinto-D'Souza, and I noticed that "commas" and "hyphens" were missing from places where they should have been inserted. I could only conclude that Roland EAT them for breakfast. jc2: I am sure Eugene meant to use the word "ATE" but that he (Eugene) did EAT it (the word) for breakfast instead.

Re: [Goanet] Joke For The Day
Yeah, VJP (thank God, it's not BJP :-) ) I am still rocking with laughter. I suppose Roland's statement is nothing but an Irish Bull. For those who don't know what Irish Bull is in the English language and saving them the trouble of going to Google for the answer, I briefly state that it's a statement that defies logic and syntax but manages to be communicative. Roland has the experience (or, as Merwyn terms it, hallucinations) of seeing a tiger in Canada, he will definitely see Irish bulls in Canada. I have never been to the Toronto Zoo, though I have been to the African Lion Safari, but there are Sumatran Tigers in the zoo, according to the zoo's website. In that way, Roland is right in saying there are tigers in Canada, and it doesn't matter if they are in captivity or roaming free in the wild. BTW, I read Roland's article on Fiona Pinto-D'Souza, and I noticed that "commas" and "hyphens" were missing from places where they should have been inserted. I could only conclude that Roland eat them for breakfast. As the Mathew gospel says, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

Re: [Goanet] Joke For The Day
Shouldn't it be JOKE OF THE DAY? But who am I to teach an Englishman. BTW, how many years did Britain rule India? No Englishman would dare say "spoil", but rather say that the English did "good" for India. Sometimes twisted logic is funnier than a joke. hahaha Eugene > On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 9:34 AM, Roland wrote: > Englishman meeting Eugene in Goa: We have spoiled your motherland for 200 > years. > > Eugene: We are spoiling your mother tongue every day! > > Roland Francis > Toronto.
Re: [Goanet] Joke For The Day
Shouldn't it be JOKE OF THE DAY? But who am I to teach an Englishman. BTW, how many years did Britain rule India? No Englishman would dare say "spoil", but rather say that the English did "good" for India. Sometimes twisted logic is funnier than a joke. hahaha Eugene On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 9:34 AM, Roland wrote: > Englishman meeting Eugene in Goa: We have spoiled your motherland for 200 > years. > > Eugene: We are spoiling your mother tongue every day! > > Roland Francis > Toronto.
