Just Katie Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've just bought a huge trampoline and I dress up as Katie the Klown and I visit all the markets and summer fetes charging between two and five euros for five mins depending on demand. When nobody is bouncing, I get on myself and sing and bounce at the same time which brings in the crowd. You have to be very fit to do both these things together but it gets the punters in. All cash in hand. As a side line I breed chickens but thats a bit boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Wow, do you have the cash in hand when you're singing and bouncing, don't you drop it? [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 It must be boring for the chickens too! Why don't you teach THEM how to trampoline, the French LOVE stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If she's JUST bought the trampoline and is managing to do "summer fetes" already ,I think she's really in Australia! But she won't get rich if she's accepting euros there. [;)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Katie Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Doesnt anyone understand satire? There are many highly qualified people in france chasing work. There have been many obscure ideas on this forum to fill the old coffers!! Just thought I'd drop in another one. Who knows it might work. If it doesnt you could always rely on the chickens!!

Russethouse Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think you will find forum members understand satire a whole lot better from other members who don't feel they have to create a new id to 'inflict' it[:^)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Sorry Viva dont understand where you're coming from on that one. Darling Dick, I definately meant satire mind you I had to look it up to make sure. Def. SATIRE "Use of ridicule to expose vice or folly" Def. FOLLY "Foolish action or idea" Yep that seems to fit although I agree irony is present. And you were such a pretty little boy!!Russ. Create new id? nope dont know where you're coming from either.[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Ah - a pompous sock puppet! And one who has not the faintest idea of what satire is - the satire satirises the folly, it is not in itself an act of folly. So the satire does not need to depict foolishness. You were using an exaggerated form of humour to make a point. That is irony. Got it? (That was sarcasm).(It is 'definitely' btw - do I detect a certain hard-of-spelling pal here?)

Just Katie Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yes my pretty little Dick. You are certainly correct in saying satire satirises the folly being the obscure ideas I wrote about to earn the dosh. Obviously Obvious.Pompous sock puppet? who you????

Very Terry Gilliam. Also, like Katie, I must learn to spell"definitely" correctly (I've just had to look it up in the dictionary,not that I doubted Dick, just that when one stares at a word too longit just looks wrong however it is spelt).
