Sign of the times

One day, Picasso is sitting in a restaurant. A woman approaches him with a table napkin. She asks him to draw something on the paper serviette. Within thirty seconds he makes her a drawing. 
'That'll be 10,000 dollar' he says.
'Ten thousand dollars? For only thirty seconds of work?' the woman asks.
'Yes, but it took me more than 40 years to get where I am' Picasso answered.

Borderless

All this commotion about travellers being or not being allowed... Wouldn't it be great to have a world without borders?

Political warning

After all the messages on cigarettes, warning about drugs and alcohol, now soda is labeled as dangerous. Politicians want additional labels indicating your Coke, Sprite, whatever you drink is causing obese.

It's about time politicians are labelled 'Lethal'. After all it takes politicians to send 'our boys' to war...

Precedent

The peaceful transmission of power, known as inauguration of the new president of the US, did cause some tumult.

Endaped

Newsflash: 300 of the 500 ape species are highly endangered, if not close to extinction. 

I thought humans were apes too...?

Plicit

We all know. Mars and Venus. The difference between men and women is mostly verbal. Men talk explicit. It is what it is, right guys? Women talk implicit. You have to read (or actually: listen) between the lines. That's a "no go" for men.

Is there any hope one day we will solve this difference? Nope. Let out the IM-EX (im- or explicit) and you'll get plicit.

Didn't have a clue what that might be, so I searched in some dictionaries. You know what it says? "A Plicit is something that does not exist."

And that's just the way it is.

A new flag

Putin starts peace negotiations. Claiming himself a new role in world politcs. A white flag underneath a blood red sky, painted by the master himself...
