JotD: Ballerina (PWH00004)

The PolyBlog
May 1 2025
This large, sweaty woman, wearing a sleeveless, stained sundress, walks into a bar. She raises her right arm, revealing a quite unshaven armpit as she points to all the people sitting at the bar. “What damn gentleman around here will buy this young lady a drink?”, she demands in a deep, gravelly voice.  The whole bar goes dead silent, as the patrons try to ignore her. The men next to her quickly move away, mainly because of her body odour. At the end of the bar, a skinny little drunken man slams his hand on the bar and says: “Bartender! Put it on my tab. I want to buy that ballerina a drink!”. The bartender obliges and pours the drink.  After she chugalugs the drink, she turns again to the patrons and points around at all of them, again revealing her hirsute armpit. “What &%¤#@ gentleman around here will buy a #@¤%& lady a drink?”, she again asks.  Once again, the little drunk slaps his hand down on the bar and says: “Bartender! I’d like to buy that ballerina another drink!”  After serving the lady her second drink, the bartender approaches the little drunk. “It’s your business,” says the bartender, “if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her a ballerina?”.  “Sir!”, replies the drunk, “Any woman who can lift her leg up that high has got to be a ballerina!”

  • Leveling up: Retirement contentMay 6, 2026
    As I mentioned yesterday, I’m doing a “content” review of my websites to see if there are areas I should be expanding or contracting, comparing them to other blogs and posts that are out there. I would like to do more on retirement as I transition out of the public service, but I am always … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up: Government contentMay 4, 2026
    Let me start by saying I like my websites. Sure, there are always things I could tweak here or there, or it could be on a faster server, or it could be more SEO friendly. I’d love to host videos inline without jacking the server costs. But overall, I like my two froggy homes. ThePolyBlog … Continue reading →
  • Book clubs 2026-04: Options for AprilApril 22, 2026
    March was extremely productive in my personal life, but not so much for reading. I was still finishing My Friends by Fredrick Bachman, and the first 20-25% was a struggle. I loved it, in the end. And I’ve been doing huge personal projects, so no reviews lately. Let’s take a look at the options for … Continue reading →
  • AI testing: The Bad…Time loops, tech support quirks, and driftApril 18, 2026
    By now, most people have seen some form of AI crop up in their tools. The most obvious one is Google’s search engine, which provides results from its AI mode first in the list. You can go pretty far with that prompt, even asking for image creation, although that’s a terrible place to create images … Continue reading →
  • More workplanning on my new Calibre libraryMarch 28, 2026
    I wrote earlier this week (Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooks) about the Poly Library 3.0, and when I did, I thought I had most of my “work” done. I had decided on three main areas (the book profile, user engagement, and user tools), although, truth be told, I had four categories … Continue reading →
