the simple truth of the matter .....

this is an abbreviated version, because i can no longer get "copy" to work in my email.  (ah, yes, the bastards don't want us communicating very damned much, do they.)

 

putin, queen elizabeth and donald trump all die and go to hell.   much to their chagrin.

the devild lets putin phone home, to try and arrange "passage out."   he calls russia, talks for 35 minutes.   the devil smiles at him, and says, that will be 4 million dollars, u.s., thank you very much.   and, begins to make arrangements for putin's transfer to a more welcoming place.

queen elizabeth is handed the phone, to try and arrange "passage out" to a more welcoming place.   she calls england, talks for 40 minutes.   the devil smiles at her very accommodatingly, and says, that will be 5 million dollars, u.s., if you don't mind, and thank you ever so much.   and, he begins to make arrangements for queen elizabeth's trip to a nice cool, wet clime, where the roses seem to flourish.

next, donald trump asks to use the phone, and he calls a friend in america, talks for 1 hour making arrangements to be sent to a place with a view where he can watch the goings-on at key largo, still longing for home.   the devil smiles at him and says, that will be 25-cents, u.s. coinage, and begins arrangements to transfer president trump to heaven, to a room with the view trump wants.

putin and queen elizabeth are outraged, and they begin to upbraid the devil for charging such an exorbitant amount to them for mere minutes, while trump has to pay only pennies for an hour-long conversation.   the devil shrugs and smiles apologetically, and says, "well, since biden took office the united states has gone completely to hell in oh so many ways, and the call back to the u.s. is now a local call, and only 'local rates' are charged, and not long distance."

all putin and queen elizabeth can do is to shrug at the truth of the devil's charging scheme.

p.s.   please understand, i didn't make this up, i am simply paraphrasing something i got on the email, and the author is unattributed.   but, like the devil, all i can do is smile apologetically, and acknowledge the living truth of the story.  biden can take solace ....  his phone call won't cost much, either.  i simply "wish" him a longer stay.   and, the sooner the better.

Good one, the question now is, does Ma Bell still have booths available in the down below? that would certainly match the rate getting charged for all of them.

i hadnt thought of that, but, you know, i would sorta be disappointed if ma bell hadnt got a bit of that action.   theyve been around a long time, sufficient time to have made a deal or two with the devil.    laughing.
