Lilliput was only one of several places Gulliver visited; I read about it in a book about sixty years ago, but no doubt someone has made a movie of the story, of course they had no light bulbs in 1700 or whenever it was imagined, so that part would be the joke writer's addendum. Like "Huckleberry Finn" the story was written for adults but became viewed as a children's story over time, which is why I first encountered the tale in third or fourth grade.Look up Jonathan Swift, he was a satirist a while back. 3 hours ago, Johnsfolly said: There is travel in the title that was likely outside of a 5 county radius ! It's OK to read about foreign lands, for educational purposes. But, G's adventures illustrate why there is no place like home. 1 hour ago, fishinwrench said: How do they get inside a lightbulb? punny, eh?

Johnsfolly Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 A couple of good old boy hunters made a second trip to Alaska to hunt caribou. They could harvest two bulls each in the area that they were hunting. The outfitter said that due to the size of the animals in that area they should only harvest three or else the plane could not take off due to the weight. The hunters had a great hunt. Though warned, they each tagged two really large bulls each. The outfitter when he was packing the plane told them that he could not take that fourth bull. The two hunters did not want to leave their trophies and begged the outfitter. They mentioned that the outfitter they hunted with the last year let them take their four bulls. The outfitter conceded and with the four bulls on board they attempted to take off. They got some elevation but could not get off the ground and crashed. As the hunters scrambled from the plane., the one asked the other if he knew where they were. The other hunter said "yeah we are about 100 yards further than where we crashed last year!" 🤣 tho1mas, Daryk Campbell Sr, Mitch f and 3 others 1 5

Fish24/7 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Every now and then I get weird Ads, Like this Amazing Invention?😆 Johnsfolly, Daryk Campbell Sr and liphunter 1 2
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I seen that ad last night. Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)
