Does voting make a difference?

03/05/2026 by

Democracy is a fine thing, or so they say. However, does voting make a difference? I mean, a real difference.

I guess the supplementary question is, what do we mean by difference?

For me, making a difference would mean making life better for the majority of people, particularly ordinary working people.

Well, on that definition, in my experience, rarely does voting make any difference at all.

The rich always seem to do well; whoever has power, but ordinary people just struggle. And that struggle appears to be getting harder, particularly for young people.

Does voting make a difference?

DOES VOTING MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

The State of Politics:

The current state of politics is not impressive. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Ideas currently being promoted appear to be insane. Certainly, they have nothing to do with improving the lives of the majority.

It seems most politicians are focused on further improving the lives of the wealthy few at the expense of ordinary people.

The Puppet Masters:

And there’s another question that crosses my mind frequently these days. Who is actually in charge?

Is it the elected government, or are there individuals behind the scenes who make the real decisions? I mean, individuals who control and manipulate politicians and events.

Judging by the evidence before us in recent years, you would have to believe there are puppet masters who really pull the strings.

Voting Poems:

So, dear reader, what do you think? Am I wrong?

While you consider that question, here are two original poems that sum up my current view of politics and the voting system.

1. Voting:

2. The Puppet Masters:

9 funny jokes to tell your friends in the bar after work

03/05/2026 by

If you’re looking for some funny jokes to tell your friends in the bar after work, then look no further.

There are some excellent ones here. Well, I think so, anyway.

I hope you enjoy them all too. If you do, please feel free to pass them on.

9 FUNNY JOKES to tell your friends in the bar after work
Make Money

Funny jokes to tell:

1. Turning a problem into an opportunity:

A young guy named Jim meets a farmer in a bar.

They get talking over a beer at the counter, and very soon Jim buys a horse from the farmer unseen for $250. Not only has he not seen the nag, but Jim even agreed to pay upfront too.

The farmer agrees to deliver the horse to Jim’s home the next day.

Sure enough, the next morning, the farmer arrives at Jim’s home, but the news is not quite what Jim is expecting.

“Sorry, son,” says the farmer, “but unfortunately, the horse has died.”

“Well,” says Jim, “just give me back my money.”

“Sorry, son,” responds the farmer, “I can’t do that because I’ve already spent your money.”

“Well, in that case,” says Jim, “just bring me the dead horse.”

“What are you going to do with a dead horse?” asks the farmer.

“I’ll raffle him off to get my money back,” says Jim.

“You can’t raffle a dead horse!” exclaims the farmer, sounding a little surprised.

“Sure, I can. Just watch me!” says Jim. “I just won’t mention the fact that the horse is dead.”

A couple of months later, the farmer bumps into Jim in the same bar where they met originally.

“Hi,” says the farmer. “Tell me, what happened to the dead horse?”

“I raffled him off like I said I would,” Jim responds.

“Oh, really, and how did that go?” asks the farmer.

“It was brilliant,” says Jim. “I sold 1,000 raffle tickets at $5 each, and after what I gave you for the horse plus expenses, I made $4,575 profit.”

“Really?” says the farmer. “Didn’t anyone complain about the horse being dead?”

“Yes,” says Jim, “the guy who won. So I gave him back his five dollars.”

2. The power of flight:

Bill walks into a bar located on the roof terrace of a skyscraper in downtown Metropolis.

Bill is standing at the counter, waiting to be served, when the guy next to him offers him a sip of his cocktail.

“Take a sip of this cocktail, buddy,” the guy says, slurring his words. “It’s a special drink, and it will give you the power of flight.”

“Oh, that’s got to be nonsense,” says Bill. “There’s no way taking a sip of someone’s drink will have me flying around the rooftops of Metropolis.”

“Would I lie to you?” the guy says to Bill. “Let me show you.”

With that, the guy swallows the contents of the glass, then jumps off the roof, flies around in a wide circle, and then glides smoothly back onto the roof terrace.

Bill is amazed by what he’s just witnessed. So he says to the bartender, “I’ll have whatever he’s been drinking.”

Bill is served the same cocktail, which he swallows in one, and then he attempts to jump off the roof but falls flat on his face on the edge of the roof terrace.

The bartender looks at the guy who’d encouraged Bill to try the cocktail and says, “Dammit, you really are a nuisance to other customers when you’re drunk, Superman.”

3. Customer needs:

I was in Walmart just before Thanksgiving last year.

A lady was looking through a pile of frozen turkeys, but she couldn’t seem to find one big enough for her needs.

I heard her speak with the clerk, and she said, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?”

“No, mam!” he replied. “They’re all dead.”

Well, it made me smile.

4. Generous spirit:

I bumped into a woman outside the shopping mall who was crying because she’d just lost $200.

I felt really sorry for her, so I gave her $50 from the $200 I’d just found.

Well, when God smiles at you, it’s only right that you share your good fortune with those less fortunate than you.

5. Getting things done:

Yesterday, Mary’s husband Jim thought he saw a cockroach in the kitchen.

So, naturally, Jim sprayed everything down very carefully and then cleaned the entire kitchen thoroughly from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Absolutely nothing escaped his cleaning regime. When he’d finished, the kitchen sparkled like new.

Today, Mary put the cockroach in the bathroom.

Moral of the Story: Never, ever underestimate a woman’s cunning.

6. Corny joke of the week:

Last night I saw two cows playing poker while smoking a couple of huge spliffs.

Yes, that’s right! The steaks were high.

7. Caught out:

Jane arrived in the office one morning, and her boss said to her, “Jane, do you believe in life after death?”

Looking slightly puzzled, she responded, “Well, I’m not aware that there’s any proof it exists.”

“Well, in that case,” her boss said, “you might be interested to know that after you left early yesterday to go to your uncle’s funeral, he came into the office looking for you.”

8. The art of tact:

Jim is planning to take his new lady friend on a two-week cruise around the islands of the Eastern Caribbean. However, he has one problem: he needs someone to take care of his cat and his elderly father.

After a little searching around his friends, Jim’s old high school buddy Billy Bob volunteers to act as caretaker.

So, Jim and his lady friend go off on their cruise, and for a few days, life is good.

Then, suddenly, Jim receives an email from Billy Bob on his smartphone.

The message simply reads, “Jim, your cat was hit by a car, and it’s dead. Regards, Billy Bob.“

Well, Jim thinks that’s a brutal way of letting him know about the fate of his beloved pet, so he phones Billy Bob immediately to tell him so.

“Listen, buddy,” says Jim. “You could have been a bit more sensitive and tactful in the way you let me know about my cat.”

Well, Billy Bob doesn’t quite understand. “What do you mean, buddy?”

“Well,” Jim responds, “it would have been better if you’d adopted a three-email strategy.”

“What in hell is a three-email strategy?” asks Billy Bob.

“Look, it’s easy,” says Jim. “In the first email, you start by saying, I just wanted to let you know your cat’s been climbing trees.”

“Right, and then what?” asks Billy Bob.

“Well, the next day you send a second message, saying your cat’s fallen out of a tree and hurt its paw,” says Jim.

“And then what?” asks Billy Bob.

“Well, finally,” Jim continues, “the following day, you send a third message saying, after falling out of a tree and hurting its paw, the cat was hit by a car, and sadly, it’s dead. With this strategy, at least I get a chance to slowly come to terms with my loss.”

“Gotcha,” says Billy Bob. “I’ll remember that next time.”

A few more days go by, and Jim’s enjoying his vacation when suddenly he receives another email, which reads, “Jim, I just wanted to let you know your father’s been climbing trees. Regards, Billy Bob.”

9. Christmas joke:

Three buddies had been having more than a few drinks in a series of Manhattan bars on Christmas Eve.

They’re staggering along Broadway trying to cross the street when they’re all hit by a truck and killed.

In the blink of an eye, they find themselves standing in front of St Peter at the Pearly Gates.

“Gentlemen,” says St Peter, “to get into Heaven at this time of year, you must have something on you that represents Christmas.”

The first guy, Jim, flicks his cigarette lighter and says to St Peter, “The flame represents the light that Christmas brings to our lives.”

“Very good,” says St Peter. “James, you may make your way through the Pearly Gates.”

The second guy, Stan, jingles his car keys and then says, “They represent the jingle of Santa’s sleigh bells.”

“Very good,” says St Peter. “Stanley, you may make your way through the Pearly Gates.”

St Peter then looks at the last guy, Mick, who is staggering all over the place and rummaging around in his pockets.

Eventually, Mick pulls out some items of ladies’ underwear from his jacket pocket and holds them up for St Peter to see.

With a puzzled look on his face, St Peter asks, “Michael, how do these items represent Christmas?”

“Oh, they’re Carol’s,” said Mick, with a sheepish grin.

How to get motivated and achieve big things

03/05/2026 by

How to get motivated and achieve big things is a common question I’m asked. Coming up with ideas is easy, but getting motivated can be much harder.

Do you have a problem getting motivated? You know what you’d like to do, but you just can’t seem to get going.

Many people feel this way, and, if I’m honest, I can be like that too. So whenever I struggle to get going, I like to watch a motivational video or listen to a motivational podcast or audiobook.

When I need a little push, I listen to people who inspire me. People like Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, and Brian Tracy.

And here’s another inspiring speaker from TEDxVirginiaTech. In this video, Scott Geller talks about the psychology of self-motivation. I found this very useful, and I hope you will too. Certainly, it’s worth your time to listen to it.

5 funniest jokes about law and order

03/04/2026 by

Dear reader, are you in need of a good laugh? Well, here are 5 of the funniest jokes about law and order to brighten your day. They all made me smile, so I hope you’ll enjoy them too.

They say laughter is the best medicine, and I agree. When you’re feeling down and in need of cheering up, few things have a greater impact than a good joke.

So relax, take a few minutes, and enjoy them all. And please feel free to pass them on.

FUNNIEST JOKES about law and order
Make Money

Funniest jokes about law and order:

1. Rookie cop:

Jake is a rookie cop, and he’s on his first day in a patrol car.

His partner is Vinny, an experienced cop who’s been around the block a few times, and he knows the score.

Nothing much happens for the first hour of their shift, but then suddenly they get a call on the radio asking them to disperse a group of people who’ve been reported as loitering on Main Street.

“Let me deal with this one, Vinny,” says Jake, all pumped up and ready to go.

“OK, buddy, go for it!” Vinny responds.

As their patrol car approaches Main Street, they can see a small crowd on the corner.

So Jake jumps out of the patrol car, approaches the small crowd, and says, “Okay, people, can we move along now, please? Come on now, as quickly as you can. Nothing to see here. Surely you’ve all got homes to go to?”

The crowd ignores Jake’s instruction, so he feels compelled to repeat his command: “Come on now, move along, please. There’s nothing to see here. Failure to comply with a police officer’s instruction is a misdemeanour, and I will have to book you if you don’t move along.”

Well, his comment about being booked seems to do the trick because people then start to drift away in different directions.

His confidence now boosted by his apparent success, Jake gets back into the patrol car.

Jake smiles at Vinny and says, “Not a bad start, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, I guess so,” says Vinny. “Pity it was Bus Stop though.”

2. Don’t mess with old people:

Fred is an older man living on his own when he spots burglars breaking into the shed in his garden one night.

Naturally, he’s left feeling a little insecure by this turn of events, so he calls 911.

Well, the 911 operator advises Fred that there are no patrol cars available in his area to help him right now.

So Fred hangs up the phone and waits for a few minutes before he calls 911 again.

“I called you a few minutes ago to report burglars in my garden shed. Well, you can cancel my request for help now because I’ve just shot them all,” says Fred.

Within minutes, there are three patrol cars outside Fred’s house with sirens wailing and blue lights flashing.

One of the police officers marches up the drive and says to Fred, “I thought you said you’d shot them all?”

“And I thought you said that there were no patrol cars available,” says Fred.

3. Driving Lesson:

Bill is giving his teenage son, Jack, a driving lesson.

Suddenly, Jack makes a right turn on a red light.

“Oh, no!” shouts Bill. “I think you’ve just made an illegal turn.”

“Take a chill pill, Dad,” Jack responds. “The police car right behind us has just done the same thing.”

4. Speeding Driver:

A police officer, Jim Murphy, stops a speeding car.

As Officer Murphy approaches the vehicle, it’s obvious to him that the driver is extremely agitated. So, naturally, Officer Murphy is cautious.

“Good afternoon, sir,” said the police officer. “Do you know why I’ve stopped you?”

“Yes, officer,” the driver responds. “I was speeding. But you’ve got to understand, I’m in a life-or-death situation.”

“Really?” Officer Murphy responds, quizzically. “And why is that, sir?”

“Officer,” the man continues, “a naked woman is waiting for me at my house.”

“Well, I don’t see how that’s a matter of life or death, sir,” says Officer Murphy in response.

“It is,” the driver continues, “because if I don’t get home before my wife does, I’m a dead man!”

5. Silence in court:

Jim is in the dock, facing a double murder charge.

“You are charged with beating your wife to death with a spanner,” says the judge.

Hearing this charge, a man in the public gallery screams, “You son of a bitch.”

Ignoring this interruption, the judge continues, “You are also charged with beating your wife’s lover to death with a spanner.”

Again, the man in the public gallery screams, “You son of a bitch.”

Irritated by this second interruption, the judge turns her attention to the gallery and says, “Sir, I understand your outrage at what are terrible crimes, but I will not tolerate another such outburst in this courtroom. Interrupt again, and you will be held in contempt of court.”

“I’m sorry, your honour,” said the man, “but I’ve lived next door to this son of a bitch for 12 years, and every time I’ve asked to borrow a spanner he told me he didn’t have one.”

4 funny short story jokes shared just for laughs

4 funny short story jokes shared just for laughs

Here are four very funny short story jokes shared with you just for laughs.

The aim is to brighten your day.

So enjoy them all.

4 funny short story jokes shared just for laughs
Make Money

Just for laughs:

1. Competing with a cat:

Jim’s a music producer searching for a job.

He’s looking through the ‘Wants Ads’ in one of the trade magazines, and he sees an advertisement stating MUSIC PRODUCER WANTED.

The advertisement states that candidates must be able to play the piano, type 40 words per minute, and be bilingual. It also states EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

This job sounded exactly like the sort of opportunity Jim had been looking for, so, as he matched the job’s requirements, he sent off an application.

Within days, Jim is sitting in front of the hiring manager, as the latter reviews Jim’s resumé.

“You have an excellent resumé,” says the hiring manager. “However, I do have another candidate who can match what you can offer in every way. So I’m torn between you, particularly as we’re an equal opportunity employer.”

“Who’s the other candidate?” Jim asks.

“Well, actually, it’s the cat sitting over there,” says the hiring manager.

“You can’t be serious,” Jim responds. “A cat can’t play the piano.”

The cat jumps up to the piano and starts playing a piece by Frédéric Chopin, beautifully.

As it finished, the cat then said, “MEOW!”

Jim had to admit that the cat could play. However, he then said, “The cat may be able to play the piano, but surely it can’t type 40 words a minute.”

The cat jumps on the hiring manager’s Macbook and starts typing at 150 words a minute, typing out a short biography of Antonio Vivaldi in less than ten minutes.

As it finished, the cat once again said, “MEOW!”

Jim had to admit that the cat could type too. However, he then said, “OK, the cat may be able to play the piano and type, but how can it be bilingual?”

With that, the cat said, “WOOF!”

2. Hard as nails:

A piece of black tarmac walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “I want a beer, and I want it now. You’d better be quick, buddy, because I’m as hard as nails and scared of no one.”

Within minutes, a piece of red tarmac walks into the same bar, whereupon the black tarmac quickly disappears into the toilet.

Thirty minutes pass before the black tarmac reappears and asks the bartender, nervously, “Has that red tarmac gone yet?”

“Yes, he has, buddy,” the bartender responds, laughing, “but what’s the big deal? I thought you were hard and scared of no one.”

“Generally, I am,” says the black tarmac, “but no one messes with him. He’s a cycle path.”

3. The inseminator:

Before heading to Main Street for a business meeting, a farmer spoke to his wife and said, “Sorry to burden you with a problem, but there’ll be a guy along this afternoon to impregnate one of the cows.”

“How will I know which cow?” his wife asked.

“Well,” he responded, “I’ve hung a nail by the correct stall in the barn, so it’s obvious which one I want impregnated.”

The farmer’s wife knew next to nothing about farming, nor was she really that interested, but she nodded in agreement nevertheless.

That afternoon, the inseminator arrived while the farmer was away.

The farmer’s wife led him to the barn and showed him the stall with the nail.

“This is the cow right here,” she said.

“Thank you, mam,” said the impregnator. He then looked around, and he noticed the nail.

“What’s the nail for?” he asked.

The farmer’s wife shrugged her shoulders and said, “I don’t know. I guess it’s for you to hang your pants on.”

4. The challenge:

Jake walks into a bar in Wichita, Kansas, and as he’s about to order a beer, he notices an enormous jar on the counter. This jar’s stuffed full of $10 bills, so naturally Jake’s intrigued.

“There must be $5,000 in that jar,” Jake says to the bartender. “What’s the deal there?”

“Well,” the bartender responds, “we’ve got a challenge going on right now.”

“What’s the challenge?” asks Jake.

“It’s simple, really,” says the bartender. “You put $10 in the jar, and if you can then pass three tests, you win the entire contents of the jar. Fail, and your money remains in the jar. That way, the cash mountain continues to build until someone wins.”

“Wow!” says Jake. “And what are the tests?”

“You’ve got to put your money in the jar first,” says the bartender, “and then I’ll tell you.”

Jake puts a $10 bill in the jar as requested.

“OK,” says the bartender. “So here’s the deal. First, you’ve got to drink a bucket full of pepper tequila. You’ve got to down it in one, without making a face. Second, there’s a vicious Rottweiler out back with a sore tooth. You’ve got to remove that tooth with your bare hands without the use of anesthetic. Then, there’s a 90-year-old woman upstairs. She wants someone to make love to her.”

“Jeez!” says Jake. “I’ve paid $10, but I’m not a complete idiot. I’d have to be nuts to take up that challenge.”

“Your call, buddy,” says the bartender, “but your money stays in the jar.”

Jake decides he’ll just have a beer or two by way of consolation and take the $10 loss on the chin.

The beers are going down well, and by the end of the evening, Jake’s had a bellyful of beer. He’s had so much beer he’s getting a bit tipsy, to say the least.

And now he’s fully loaded; he’s ready for anything.

“OK, buddy,” he says to the bartender, “where’s that tequila?”

The bartender gives him a bucket full of peppered tequila, and Jake grabs it with both hands. He raises the bucket to his mouth and downs the entire contents in one gulp. His eyes are watering, but he doesn’t make a face.

Jake puts the empty bucket on the bar, and then he staggers outside, where the vicious Rottweiler is chained to a post in the yard.

The customers in the bar can hear a commotion; the Rottweiler’s barking like crazy, and Jake is shouting. The dog then yelps momentarily, and this is followed by silence.

A few minutes later, Jake staggers back into the bar, bruised and battered, and his shirt is ripped to shreds.

“OK,” he says to the bartender, “now where’s this old woman with the sore tooth?”
