And people see into that what is plainly not there. People once given a suggestion can not see anything else. If they had been told it was a baked potato that is what they would have saw, but since they have this idea that Priest do nothing but molest little boys that is what they see. [space] [space]

Well, it's kinda hard to see anything else given the location of the bread roll....

A bit like this ad with the location of the bus exhaust....

This is pretty good.
Subject: Sign On A Business In Philadelphia "WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 ARAB TERRORISTS THAN WITH A SINGLE JEW"
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Philadelphia. Most would be outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country would be marching on this business and that the National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back.
But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors simply make their statement. We are a society who holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.
And after all it is just a sign. You may be asking what business would dare post such a sign? ---Goldberg's Funeral Home

VERY CEREBAL ...

Does the expression, "We've always done it that way!" ring any bells???

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did THEY use that gauge?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?!
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for (or by) Imperial Rome, they all had the same wheel spacing.
So, it turns out that the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specification for an Imperial Roman war chariot.

Specifications and bureaucracies live forever!

So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what "horse's rear end" came up with it, you may be exactly right. You see, the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two horses!

And now for the rest of the story...
There's an interesting extension to the story about railroad gauges and horses' behinds.
When we see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by a company called Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's rear end!

All too True,

Only a person with a Sick and Perverted mind would think along those lines as does hillsy. Haters are blinded by their hate, it shapes how they perceive the world,..so much so that they live in Denail of Reality,....and instead see only what their Hateful Eyes "see",.....that being,... What REALLY DOES NOT exist.

It's called Being DELUSIONAL. The left is HEAVILY populated with Delusionals like him.
