Misguided values, nothing you possess.

More comedy from my mate Ads following our usual Monday morning 'let's whinge aboot Everton' sesh.

All this Everton stuff is getting me down so I'll share a moral question with you, or rather a questionably moral tale:

Over Easter I was playing scrabble with T's 9 year old brother I and her 11 year old sister M. It was of course a tame affair of 3 and 4 letter words making for a difficult board (there are only so many 'S' tabs to put on the end of 'car', 'dog', 'mop' etc). Naturally I was playing the role of educational benefactor and helping the little dudes whenever they got stuck, whilst making sure that I scooped the triple letter and double word scores for myself to re-enforce the natural order of age and superiority.

Anyway, M really is a clever little thing and towards the end she managed, being an animal lover, to offload a 'Z' to make 'Zoos' onto an unguarded triple-word score to take her to within 9 of my score. Now, this put me in a difficult position; as you know the value of any letters that you are left with at the end of the game is deducted from your score and I was left with a 'u' (1), an 'i' (1) and a 'q' (10), meaning that I was about to lose. I then noticed that the 'm' of 'mops' was open and had 3 spaces above it. Well, I ask you, what would you have done? As far as I could see it I had no choice.....

Cheers Askinstoo, please come again with further wisdom. I made $6,000 last month by being a rubbish worker.

Stig, no way! You mean he doesn't like my blog? CHARLATAN!

Pants, thou art wise. And I bet correct.

Nat, it weren't me. Read carefully, was Ad.

THE GREAT POWERFUL SPELL CASTER THAT
BRING BACK MY EX BOYFRIEND.
I just want to say thank you prophet ahmed for all you have done for me.
He is back now. That very powerful spell caster STOP THE DIVORCE – and get my ex boyfriend back.
My name is Joy Philip, from Canada. I never believed in love
spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went for a business summit
early this year. I meant a man who's name is PROPHET AHMED
he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's gone,
lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or
luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to
marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down because our
relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was
against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster,i
told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At
first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try.And
in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend(now husband) called me by
himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his
mother and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I
didn't believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my
boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now
and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and
our lives became much better.in case you are in any situation you can contact
prophet ahmed at his email solutiontemple399@gmail.com or his personal cell +2347053375151
Thank you for all your help prophet.
