Who are we supposed to give the mentally challenged man to?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Rich woman with a bad cough? 
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I've had plenty of them thought I'd try it the other way around see how it worked.

Where do I fine these women?
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I haven't found where to find them yet but have ruled out; set ups from relatives, bars, taverns, lounges, saloons, pool halls, hitch hikers.

In the US there is often a statistic that relates to amount of the donation that actually goes to helping the charity target.
For example see "What portion of my donation directly supports your mission or service delivery?" in the following.

So you're envisioning a sort of massive Charity CostCo to spread the cost?
Actually, that's a bloody good idea! If all the charities clubbed together there could be a whole charity-mall!

Yeah no doubt; Excuse me I believe you've made a mistake, I was sentenced to life.

That's right - he was English and so didn't want to complain.

I used to work for the Home Office and was told that early attempts to computerise the Prison systems failed. The prisoner database had a primary key on Surname, Initial and date of conviction, which worked fine until Ronnie and Reggie Kray were sent down for the first time.

My mum was a teacher (primary school) until retiring 5 years ago.
Just this weekend she was telling us of the time they had two children with identical first, last, and middle names in the same class.
Dunno how the computers coped, but I'd imagine it buggered up the teachers enough.

As the rain pi pours down, I am reminded in my inbox that it is time for long cool summer drinks. In an article from the Daily Hungarian News, they are suggesting having a fröccs or two. Sadly they miss out the one for the kiddies 'lófasz fröccs'; I'm not translating that.
TYPES OF FRÖCCS
Kisfröccs (small fröccs): 1 dl wine and 1 dl soda
Nagyfröccs (big fröccs): 2 dl wine and 1 dl soda
Hosszúlépés (long step): 1 dl wine and 2 dl soda
Magyar-Angol (Hungarian-English): 6dl wine and 3 dl soda
Nagyházmester (landlord): 4dl wine and 1 dl soda
Krúdy fröccs: 9 dl wine and 1 dl soda
Polgármester (mayor): 6 dl wine and 4 dl soda
Macifröccs (bear fröccs): small fröccs from red wine and raspberry juice
Sóher fröccs: 1 dl wine and 9 dl soda
Tisza fröcccs: 1 dl wine and 1 dl champagne
My normal at the beach is a Nagyházmester, though I am tempted to try a Krúdy.

Sóher fröccs = mingy
Tisza fröcccs = clear
Lófasz fröccs = half of Sóher fröccs, and the name tells us that it's Lófasz and not a fröccs...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

No, no, that's a Vilmos Fröccs - 2 parts gin to one part more gin.

So a Nagy Vilmos Fröccs is then...
