Each year since 1965 Volker Kraft and his wife Christa spent up to two weeks in their garden decorating this apple tree for the Christian festival of Easter. The couple started decorating the tree with just 18 plastic eggs decades ago. The number increased year by year; and by last year, the tree was festooned with 10 thousand colorful real eggs. All of the eggs are hand painted with stripes and designs. Thousands of tourists from around the world visit the tree every year. 2015 was the final year … “The garden will remain closed from 07.04.2015 forever.”
GUYS I WAS LITERALLY AT THIS SPEECH, I WATCHED HIM SAY ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH MY NAKED TWO EYEBALLS HOLY HELL
Is it me, or the closer we get to the end of Obama’s term, the more he turns into that uncle at the cook out who is quiet the rest of the year but is roasting EVERYBODY today.
Look upon the field in which he sows his fucks. See that it lies motherfucking barren
After his terms, I think he in fact has a severe fucks-to-give debt.
Once I worked as an intern in the state capital. One of the representatives I worked for was this middle-aged guy. And he hated the tampon and napkin machines in the women’s bathrooms. Hated them. He insisted that they weren’t necessary.
I found out why after I’d been working there, oh, about a month. My period started suddenly, as it sometimes does, and I asked to excuse myself to go to the ladies’ room. He wanted to know why. I told him.
He started ranting about how lazy women were. How we wasted time. How we were so careless and unhygenic, and that there was no call for that. He finished by telling me that I certainly was NOT going to the ladies’ room and that I was just going to sit there and work. He finished this off with a decisive nod, as if I’d just been told and there could be no possible argument.
“If I don’t go,” I said in an overly patient tone, “the blood is going to soak through my pants, stain my new skirt that I just bought, and possibly get on this chair I’m sitting in. I need something to soak up the blood. That’s why I need to go to the bathroom.”
His face turned oatmeal-gray; an expression of pure horror spread across his face. He leaned forward and whispered, “Wait, you mean that if you don’t go, you’ll just keep on bleeding? I thought that women could turn it off any time that they wanted!”
I thought, You have got to be kidding.
Several horrified whispers later, I learned that he wasn’t. He actually thought a) that women could shut down the menstrual cycle at will, b) that we essentially picked a week per month to spend more time in the bathroom, i.e. to goof off, and c) that napkins and tampons were sex toys paid for by Health and Human Services. I didn’t know the term then, but he believed that tampons were dildos. Which was why he and a good number of his friends considered them luxuries.
And that’s how, at twenty, I had to give a talk on menstruation to a middle-aged married state representative who was one of my bosses. American politics, ladies and gentlemen.
That’s.., that’s insane.
what the fuck did i just read
Everytime i come across this post its still horrifying as if im reading this for the first time.
What the actual fuck?
PLEASE tell me this is just a joke someone made to get notes.
I would to say I’m actually shocked after reading this. But alas that’s not the case. Politicians belong in thr neanderthal age with dinosaurs. PERIOD!!!!
