The Value of Money.

I heard a startling statistic tonight. Fifty men from a town in Florida with a population of five hundred committed major self-mutilations in order to claim on insurance policies. That’s approximately 20% of the male population! What wasn’t explained was whether they were in such dire straits that they needed the money to survive, or whether money was so important to them that they were prepared to suffer great pain and relinquish limbs and hands in order to get it.

Makes you wonder what life is for, doesn’t it?

The strangest things happen in Florida. And in Texas.

Maybe that's why they chose Florida to get a Texan President fraudulently elected. Maybe they thought everybody would say 'Oh, well, that's Texas and Florida for you. Let's have another doughnut.'

My mind just went into edge-of-surreal mode. Our 'strange' place is the county og Norfolk - allegedly.
