Let's complicate it 2

[CRilliterate]

I have heard some stand up talking about how minorities changing the way they wanted to be named and he went onto homeless and said if we have to start calling them 'hygiene impaired squeegee technician' but if it is too much we can offer to shorten it to 'outdorsemen'...

I know it is wrong but why did I laught so hard? I know there are masters of complications, anyone?

surely that should be vertically underextended?

Snuv,

you are right, but the concept of pc is, the pc term should sound better than the replaced term. vertically overextended sounds even tall instead of short, but would mean short. A bit like undertall could replace overweight.

A completely different thing, that I remembered yesterday on the topic of "let's make it complicated" is this:

The ten commandments contain 279 Words, the US declaration of independence contains 300 Words, but the regulation of the european union about the import of caramel drops contains exactly 25911 words.

So if you ever want to come over to europe, better keep your caramel at home, seems to be very complicated to pass the customs with it.

Bye, Olaf.

I am in europe and I do (or did) know the regulations about caramel because I spent seven years working for a confectionery firm, doing the paperwork that had to be sent to Customs and Excise in the UK. How's that for a coincidence?

Try the EU directive on the sale of duck eggs for a monster

Ha! And I used to work for MAFF drafting the regulations as they related to the UK. Believe me, it was every bit as boring as it sounds.

Olaf,

Not to be picky, but the Declaration of Independence contains about 1,300 words (and that is leaving out the signature section).

I'm just sayin'.

Granted, that doesn't compare with 26,000 words to regulate caramel drops.

Hi anotherhiggins,

Also not meant picky: I didn't count it, I just quoted. And I'm sure the EU regulation will have more words by now, whilst the other two surely will not have changed.

Hi Snug,

Yes, what a coincidence! I'm sure I'll take a look at the duck egg sale directive, if I have the time for such a lecture. ;-)

Bye, Olaf.
