Hello Elon? This is your favorite president...

I was wondering if you could do once more for me what you did in 2024? And whatever it takes. You know I'm familiar with pardons!

It is to laugh - Joe suffers from very bad headaches and eventually finds a doctor who offers a solution.

“The good news is that I can cure your headaches,” says the doctor. “The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a rare condition which causes your testicles to press against the base of your spine. It’s that pressure that causes the headaches.” Joe is shocked but decides he has no choice but to go under the knife. After the operation Joe feels much better and decides to treat himself to a new suit. He goes into a tailor’s to see what’s on offer. The tailor looks at him and says, “Let’s see. I’d guess you take a size 44 long?” Joe laughs, “That’s right. How did you know my exact size?” “It’s my job to know,” says the tailor. “How about a new shirt to go with it? I’d say you take a 34 sleeve and a 16 neck.” “Right again,” says Joe. “How did you know?” “It’s my job,” says the tailor. “How about some new underwear as well? Let’s see, I’d say you’re a size 36.” Joe laughs, “Got you that time. I’m actually a 34. I’ve worn size 34 since I was 18.” The tailor tuts, “You shouldn’t do that, sir. You see a size 34 would press your testicles against your spine and give you terrible headaches.”

MAGA Couple Bubba and Becky are delighted when the adoption agency tells them they have a wonderful Russian baby. On the way home from the adoption agency they stop by the local college and enroll in night courses to learn Russian. “You going to Russia on vacation?” asks the registration clerk. “No,” replies Bubba. “We just adopted a Russian baby. When he starts talking we’ll want to know what he’s saying.”

It is to laugh - A man finds an odd-looking bottle...

A man finds an odd-looking bottle and rubs it. Much to his surprise, a genie appears. “For releasing me from the bottle, I will grant you three wishes,” says the genie. “But there’s a catch. For each of your wishes, Trump will receive double what you ask for.”
First the man wishes for a Ferrari. Poof! A Ferrari appears in front of him. “Now, Trump has been given two Ferraris,” says the genie. “What is your next wish?” “I could really use a million dollars,” replies the man. Poof! One million dollars appears at his feet. “Now, Trump is two million dollars richer,” the genie reminds him.
“What is your third wish?” The man thinks and says, “Well, I’ve always wanted to donate a kidney…”

Is "IOKIYAR" (or variants) out of date?

How about:

INIIYAR
It's not illegal if you are Republican!
or

NIIIYAARP
Nothing is illegal if you are a Republican Politician
or

TLDPTR
The Law Doesn't Pertain to Republicans

Any idea?

It is to laugh...not this time...this is a word of caution! Danger in mixing household cleaners.


https://sciencenotes.org/household-chemicals-you-should-never-mix/

There are many commonly used, freely available household products containing chemicals when mixed incorrectly or improperly that can cause serious health problems or worse.The fumes from mixing the common cleaners with other ingredients can make someone uncomfortable to seriously ill. Lots of reading and ventilation when used is prescribed to make sure you know which of these can cause problems to you , your family or even others. And don't get any on exposed skin. Too much absorption on exposed skin can cause anything from a mild rash to life-threatening incidents.

And just as an added bit of caution, "covid masks" really won't do any good against most of these cleaners when mixed incorrectly. The "95 masks" aren't safe enough, either. Even some basic industrial gas masks can't keep some of the fumes from irritating lungs, throat and eyes or skin around the protection. Goggles may not help against some unless the whole face is protected. Plus, exposure to skin from incorrectly mixed liquids can be painful to life threatening.

I strongly advise everyone to make sure they understand the seriousness of this warning. The basic danger, of course, is in the home, in doors. However, mixing the wrong chemicals and/or incorrect amounts can even cause very serious problems OUTSIDE especially if you are downwind of the flow or get any liquid on your skin or even clothes.

I've listed one site to let you know some of these hazards. There are others - some more serious. Take a look on the net to see what other incorrect mixtures may cause problems. Please take all these precautions into account when using, mixing or discarding any of these common cleaning agents especially once you've mixed them but didn't use all of it. And make sure to discard the unused portion according to the labels. Also, storing these mixes can be dangerous. Leaving that mixture where anyone can get it onto themsuch as groups of gathered people, especially kids, can cause severe pain and health problems and could actually become fatal.

Again, I can't stress enough how easy it is to run into serious respiratory, dermal or vision problems if exposed to incorrectly used cleaning chemicals. Wear gloves and make sure you have adequate ventilation if indoors and if you use them outside make sure the wind doesn't blow fumes or spray back at you!

Learn to stay safe if you use dangerous household cleaners.
