“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
My blog friend Frank over at A Frank Angle came up with the idea of doing a post based on an alphabetical listing of a selection of his previous posts. An interesting idea and a good way to introduce more recent readers to some of the things they might otherwise have missed.
Of course, Frank couldn’t leave it at that, so he threw out a challenge for others to try to do the same for their blogs. And guess who couldn’t resist the challenge!
So here you are, for new and long term readers of this blog, a alphabetical journey through some of the files of Fasab!
Enjoy.

Frank has asked me to remind everyone that no nominations are required to take part in the A2Z challenge, so why not have a go. It’s a bit of work, but fun too, and it gives you the excuse to look over some of your old posts.

Yesterday’s post was a bit heavy going. So today, a little bit of light relief for you.
I’ve mentioned a few times before that I am very fond of dogs. They are great loyal companions and usually very protective of their family.
I have a strong preference for German Shepherds which are well known as being courageous, intelligent, watchful, confident and alert. I would argue that they not only have these attributes, but are also highly intelligent AND also look quite elegant as well.
But there are a multitude of different breeds out there and they all have their followers.
I wonder can the owners of these breeds say the same thing?
Enjoy.

I have been featuring a lot of questions that no one asked but that needed asking.
Stupid people, however, tend to get worried about things that don’t matter and ask questions that don’t need to be asked. They are obviously important to them, but not to anyone else.
Here are some stupid questions asked by stupid people about stupid things.
Do yourself a favor and just read these and (hopefully) have a laugh. Do not try to figure out why they were asked or what they mean. If you get too far inside the mind of a moron you may never make it back out again!
Enjoy!
