A plumber atended to a leaking faucet at the neurosurgeon’s house. After a two-minute job the plumber demanded $150.

The neurosurgeon exclaimed, “I don’t charge this amount even though I am a surgeon.”

The plumber replied, “I agree, you are right. I too, didn’t either, when I was a surgeon. That’s why I switched to plumbing!”

Hi! I’m not too sure where this post goes, so @Panther feel free to move it.

What’s the longest game ever played on this forum? As in, the longest gap between the first turn played in a game and the last turn played? Games that achieved this number due to huge gaps in between turns count. Thank you!

Go to a good size library, they might have the 20 Vol.
series of History of the First World War by Marshall

Candelvish Publications(they did the W.W.2 series).

Pictures, illustrations, charts, graphs, side articles of W.W.I,

written by the generation who went thru it, and, the ones

afterwards.

Your library might have a loaner series, to take a book home,

or, order it thru the state library system.

I read my series at Buffalo Main Branch at the turn of the

century, took me under two years to go thru the whole series

of books.

Impossible one does not get a feel for The Great War, much

less ideals for House Rules, thanks, Pellulo

In the final analysis, I find the pardon of Marc Rich to be a highly monetized assault on American values. Seems like much of the over $100 million he evaded in taxes and fines were paid back in charity and bribes to Israel, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and even the US (Clinton Library). Petty change for a billionare.

Oh yeah, he also got wealthy defying our trade embargo against Iran during and after the hostage crisis in 1979.

Rich’s agents made concerted efforts to gain that pardon, and if Clinton did not get it, they would have to wait for the next president and try again after 7-8 years, or 4 if the incumbent could not win reelection. Clinton always had a good eye for channeling advantageous donations. The Wikipedia link said that Al Gore tried to arrest Rich in the past, so no funding from the Rich organization if Gore won. In fact, it would have been risking millions in funding to the Republicans to unseat Gore if he won. GW might be offered bribes if Rich still needed a pardon and that amount of money was to much to give away to the Republicans. I think Clinton feared that amount of money would win even more Republican seats in Congress.
