Lawrence of Knockbride

On the day Leslie Nielsen died this is serious comedy. Great stuff. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Bill Gates was originally going to call his company Macrohard... but guess who dissuaded him!
Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

Hardy

Larry Reilly only ever played one round of golf. What do you do after shooting 18?

Wikileaks has revealed that China are no longer backing the North Koreans - apparently Larry had a word in their ear.
That was never a square ball!!

Larry is unable to swim as he cannot break the water.

Hardy

Larry doesn't cut his grass. He just tells it not to grow.

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour or spread gossip.


In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, 
"Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Larry Reilly?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. 
It's called the Triple Filter Test."
'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.

"That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Larry Reilly 
let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say.. 
The first filter is Truth. 
Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. 
Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. 
Is what you are about to tell me about Larry Reilly something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Larry Reilly 
that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, 
"You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. 
Is what you want to tell me about Larry Reilly going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is 
neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. 
This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.



It also explains why Socrates never found out that Larry Reilly was shagging his wife.  ;D
