Give Peace a Chance

a simple quasi-folkish tune written and recorded in a hotel room (during a "bed-in" for peace) in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the late 60s. John Lennon of the Beatles and his new bride Yoko Ono were there on their honeymoon and they wrote, performed and recorded the song in that room, along with some special guests singing the chorus chant. This song has become an antiwar anthem and since then has been played and chanted at numerous anti-Vietnam War rallies and at rallies opposing wars thereafter.

At the Ohio State University Oval in January 1991 I saw an antiwar demonstration against the first Gulf War (first war against Iraq). The rally organizers played many rock'n'roll antiwar songs, including "War" by Bruce Springsteen and "Give Peace A Chance". People kept on chanting, "all we are saying, is Give Peace a Chance".

No Chance

No Chance; A word or expression derived from the St. Andrews vocabulary, meaning to state that in an opinionated manner, there is absolutely no possibility of an event taking place, depending on what subject is being discussed. Once the expression "No Chance" is said, commonly, little or nothing can be said in return. This word is sometimes nick-named, the word to end all words.

John states amongst a group of teenage friends, "Hey guys, do you think I can get with this girl?" A friend replies "NO CHANCE." As a result of saying "No Chance", the group would normally begin to laugh at John, making him feel like a "Jerk" for even thinking of asking such a question, and therefore would not even consider making a counter-statement fearing that a similar outcome will persist. This is why "No Chance" is nick-named the word to end all words. Some victims may try to counter the statement by saying "Chance" or "Yes Chance", but they are simply not as humorous as the original outgoing statement "No Chance". Also, "Yes Chance" simply does not make sense at all anyways.

Dirty Chance

While naked in bed and trying to fall asleep, your'e not quite sure if you've farted or sharted, but you're too tired to care. The next morning, you wake up with feces, and your sheet, dried firmly to your ass

I woke up this morning with a Dirty Chance pasted to my balloon knot. I ran around the room like Superman, trotting and giggling.
