Sounds like you did not read the instructions when you bought the flute and are blowing it with the wrong orifice.


You could make an album, "Mellow sounds from the rectum".


Maybe a new variation on Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet entitled
Romeo Romeo where f'art thou Romeo.

Hope the lockdown is over by the next full moon on the 8th April otherwise I'll have to barricade the wife's mother in the spare bathroom again. Gets all hairy and stuff.

Drugs - Ouch!
I was once offered the same service for Rp1,000 (6 cents US) in North Jakarta - I declined.


Was it,be kind to the elderly day,lol.


Mental illness is rarely treated here, and she was clearly less than 100% in her head.
However, apart from the very thought of close contact with a lady of her vivid aroma being droop inspiring, the act would have looked very odd as I was standing at a busy road junction waiting for a red light.
The last part, as native speakers of English and Americans will have realised by now, having a little irony built in.

'Better not' is a better idea. Personally, I don't mind a sick joke, but I know others will be upset.

Strange as it is, that's actually real (From January). Seems they were using anything available, including bras and sanitary products.
Desperate times, but I would prefer self isolation.

6 million infected, most with nothing worse than feeling slightly grim on the edges, that making the death rate look a bit low.
It's assumed the confirmed cases Vs. dead is accurate, but it now looks a lot more like a 0.33% fatality rate in the UK.

Don't worry, be happy, and stuff coronapanc up the nearest doom merchant's bottom.

Funny how at the start he was for doing nothing and allowing for "herd immunity."  Today he was on BBC saying that Britain should wait a while before lifting restrictions.  Its amazing how a brush with death can change your outlook.  Reputedly, he caught the virus because he intentionally was shaking hands in a COVID-19 hospital ward.   It is hard to see that as intestinal fortitude.  I will let others say what it is.

Watching CNBC this morning looks like US is making at least small progress in treatment for people who have severe Corona infections. We live in hope!

I admit to not reading far into the link because I saw the original in real time.  Dr. Fauci said that the anti-viral drug in question, Remdesavir, worked best if used early in the disease cycle and even if the drug is approved, it will be only for hospital use as it is administered by IV drip.  The problem for the US is that administration of tests at the very first advent of symptoms, would be required to do that.  As it stands now, to be tested in the US, unless you are White House staff or an NBA player, you need to be sick enough to require immediate hospitalization.  Hopefully that will change soon.
