I don't believe it

Post by clutchspring »

Read a article in a boating magazine today & I could not believe my eyes , the article stated that under the new gender laws that have now come in to force you can no longer call a bouy a bouy it is now a gender neutral flotation apparatus,
The world has gone made.

It's called 'poisson d'avril' over here. They don't really work very well anymore, because the world has become so ridiculous that it's hard to make up something that trumps it. Ah, Trump, - surely he was someone's April fool joke wasn't he? No, again reality was more absurd than absurdity.... :D

Pioneering England Ladies Cricket team captain Rachel Hayhoe-Flint used to refer to the female version of the cricketers' 'box' as the 'manhole cover'. That probably wouldn't be allowed now.
