Disney has priced me out as a visitor....

Today was a bear, but now that I'm over the hump the rest of the week looks okay...

Can you believe what it costs to go to Disneyland or DisneyWorld now ?   The prices just went up to $76 and $82 for a single park entry.  I know that they are in the business of making money, but when they refer to it as the "Happiest place on earth", are they the ones that are happy ?  Maybe when I win the Lotto...

So the court has struck down the same sex marriage ban.... Maybe what REALLY needs to be done is to define LEGALLY what marriage is.  I can understand a church having issues here, but not the legal system.  They need to define what it is LEGALLY....

Sir Ernest Rutherford, President of the Royal Academy, and
recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, related the following
story:

"Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about
to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question,
while the student claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the
student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I
read the examination question:

"Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall
building with the aid of a barometer."

The student had answered: "Take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and
then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of
the rope is the height of the building."

The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had
really answered the question completely and correctly! On the
other hand, if full credit were given, it could well contribute
to a high grade in his physics course and certify competence in
physics, but the answer did not confirm this.

I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student
six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the
answer should show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five
minutes, he hadn't written anything. I asked if he wished to give
up, but he said he had many answers to this problem; he was just
thinking of the best one. I excused myself for interrupting him
and asked him to please go on. In the next minute, he dashed off
his answer, which read:

"Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the
edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a
stopwatch. Then, using the formula x=0.5*a*t^2, calculate the
height of the building."

At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He
conceded, and gave the student almost full credit. While leaving
my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said that
he had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they
were.

"Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the
height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer. For
example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and
measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow,
and the length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of
simple proportion, determine the height of the building."

"Fine," I said, "and others?"

"Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement
method you will like. In this method, you take the barometer and
begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark
off the length of the barometer along the wall. You then count
the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the
building in barometer units. A very direct method.

"Of course."

"If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the
barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and
determine the value of g [gravity! at the street level and at the
top of the building. From the difference between the two values
of g, the height of the building, in principle, can be
calculated." "On this same tack, you could take the barometer to
the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to
just above the street, and then swing it as a pendulum. You could
then calculate the height of the building by the period of the
precession". Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways
of solving the problem.

Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the
basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the
superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: 'Mr.
Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the
height of the building, I will give you this barometer.'"

At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the
conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did,
but said that he was fed up with high school and college
instructors trying to teach him how to think.

An elderly man in Kentucky had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while to look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!' The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked...'

Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator.' 

Murphy applied for an engineering position ...

Murphy applied for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the Department manager. Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said.

Manager: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the job"

Murphy: "And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I should get the job!"

Well too bad. Here goes. Manager: "We have made our decisions not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed."

Murphy: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"

Manager: "Simple, the American put down on question #5, "I don't know.", You put down "Neither do I." 

True story

My daughter's parakeet flew out the window and up a nearby tree. Being the dilligent dad, I go over and climb up. I get up there and realize I don't have a way to get back down with the bird one-handedly, so I take off my shirt, wrap the bird up in it and drop it to my daughter. She catches him and we're all good.

Except I look to my left and there's a 14-ish girl in her 2nd story bedroom looking at me.

The record reflects that the gentleman who climbed the tree and then began removing his clothes before the young lady...

A man walks into the toy store to get a Barbie doll for his daughter. So he asks the assistant, as you would, "How much is Barbie?"

"Well," she says, "we have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00."

God's Waiting Room for only $25K

Today was a really busy day.  I did a lot and everything eventually fell in to place and worked, so it was very productive.


I noticed that they are investigating Amazon and Apple on price fixing of their e-books.  Why is it that they are getting noticed now ???


Lindsay Lohan got out of jail today after only two weeks.  I wonder (I really don't) if she learned anything.  Perhaps she couldn't wait to get out to go get a drink ??  Well, anyway, she's on her way to rehab- whatever that is for the "Rich and Famous".

Want to move to Florida ?  Want to buy a condo for less than a new car ??? Sorry, I think they'd have to pay me to take it.
 

The Female experience

This is dedicated to all women everywhere who have ever had to
deal with a public toilet. And it finally explains to all you men
what takes us so long.
My mother was a fanatic about public toilets. As a little girl,
she'd bring me in the stall, teach me to wad up toilet paper and
wipe the seat. Then, she'd carefully lay strips of toilet paper
to cover the seat. Finally, she'd instruct, "Never, never sit on
a public toilet seat." And she'd demonstrate "The Stance," which
consisted of balancing over the toilet in a sitting position
without actually letting any of your flesh make contact with the
toilet seat. But by this time, I'd have peed down my leg. And
we'd go home.

That was a long time ago. I've had lots of experience with public
toilets since then, but I'm still not particularly fond of public
toilets, especially those with powerful, red-eye sensors. Those
toilets know when you want them to flush. They are psychic
toilets. But I always confuse their psychic ability by following
my mother's advice and assuming The Stance. The Stance is
excruciatingly difficult to maintain when one's bladder is
especially full. This is most likely to occur after watching a
full-length feature film.

During the movie pee, it is nearly impossible to hold The Stance.
You know what I mean. You drink a two liter cup of Diet Coke,
then sit still through a three-hour saga because, for God's sake,
even if you didn't wipe or wash your hands in the bathroom, you'd
still miss the pivotal part of the movie or the second scene, in
which they flash the leading man's naked derriere.

So, you cross your legs and you hold it. And you hold it until
that first credit rolls and you sprint to the bathroom, about
ready to explode all over your internal organs. And at the
bathroom, you find a line of women that makes you think there's a
half-price sale on Mel Gibson's underwear in there.

So, you wait and smile politely at all the other ladies, also
crossing their legs and smiling politely. And you finally get
closer. You check for feet under the stall doors. Every one is
occupied. You hope no one is doing frivolous things behind those
stall doors, like blowing her nose or checking the contents of
her wallet.

Finally, a stall door opens and you dash, nearly knocking down
the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't
latch. It doesn't matter. You hang your handbag on the door hook,
yank down your pants and assume The Stance.

Relief. More relief. Then your thighs begin to shake. You'd love
to sit down but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat
or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold The Stance as your thighs
experience a quake that would register an eight on the Richter
scale. To take your mind off it, you reach for the toilet paper.
Might as well be ready when you are done. The toilet paper
dispenser is empty.

Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny napkin you wiped
your fingers on after eating buttered popcorn. It would have to
do. You crumble it in the puffiest way possible. It is still
smaller than your thumbnail.

Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't
work and your pocketbook whams you in the head. "Occupied!" you
scream as you reach out for the door, dropping your buttered
popcorn napkin in a puddle and falling backward, directly onto
the toilet seat. You get up quickly, but it's too late. Your bare
bottom has made contact with all the germs and life forms on the
bare seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper, not that
there was any, even if you had enough time to. Your mother would
be utterly ashamed of you if she knew, because her bare bottom
never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, "You don't
know what kind of diseases you could get."

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is
so confused that it flushes, sending up a stream of water akin to
a fountain and then it suddenly sucks everything down with such
force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of
being dragged to China.

At that point, you give up. You're finished peeing. You're soaked
by the splashing water. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a
Chicklet wrapper you found in your pocket, then slink out
inconspicuously to the sinks. You can't figure out how to operate
the sinks with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with
spit and a dry paper towel and walk past a line of women, still
waiting, cross-legged and unable to smile politely at this point.

One kind soul at the very end of the line points out that you are
trailing a piece of toilet paper on your shoe as long! as the
Mississippi River. You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in
the woman's hand and say warmly, "Here You might need this."

At this time, you see your spouse, who has entered, used and
exited his bathroom and read a copy of War and Peace while
waiting for you.

"What took you so long?" he asks, annoyed. This is when you kick
him sharply in the shin and go home

This is supposed to be the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.
- Please change your direction 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
- Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision.
- This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
- No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
- THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!
- This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Opa!

Last night we went to see "Inception".  I have to admit that I was intrigued by the story, impressed by the special effects and the acting and the dialog.  Even the sound was of exceptional quality.  My only reservation is with the complexity of the script and being able to follow what and where the cast is and what they are doing and why.  I didn't understand the need for the final cliffhanger, though.  I definitely qualify the movie for awards consideration.

We went to the Greek Festival at Oak Park today and had our yearly gyro and baklava.  The food was great, as was the music.  No comment on the dancers.  Another year where they didn't serve Mythos beer. Mythos beer is a memory from our trip to Greece almost ten years ago.  It is unusual to see it anyplace that we've been in the states or Canada.

A little girl runs out to the backyard where her father is
working, and asks him, "Daddy, what's sex?"

Caught off guard, and shaken at his innocent little girl asking
such a question, he starts babbling about the birds and the
bees.

Then he looks at her bewildered expression and decides the best
option is to tell her the truth. He sits her down, and tells her
about conception, sperms and eggs. He goes on to tell her about
puberty, menstruation and he thinks, 'what the hell,' and goes on
to tell her the works. He tells her about orgasms, masturbation,
and even shows her a picture of a penis and vagina.

He covers a wide and varied assortment of sub-topics and by the
time he's finished, his daughter is somewhat awestruck with this
sudden influx of bizarre new knowledge.

Her father finally asks, "So what did you want to know about sex
for?"

"Oh, mommy said to tell you lunch would be ready in a couple of
secs..."

Italians
To all my Italian friends, and a few who are not - enjoy! ...and if you're from Brooklyn , New Joisey, or LonggggEyeland, you'll really appreciate this!

E y e -T a l i a n

Why do Italians hate Jehovah's Witnesses?
Because Italians hate all witnesses.

Do you know why most men from Italy are named Tony?
On the boat over to America they put a sticker on them that said
TO NY

You know you're Italian when . . . .You can bench press 325 pounds,
shave twice a day and still cry when your mother yells at you.

You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can't fit two cappicola sandwiches, 4 oranges, 2 bananas and pizzelles into a regular lunch bag.

Your 20 mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant, travel agent and lawyers are all your cousins.

You have at least 5 cousins living in the same town or on the same block. All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather or grandmother.

You are on a first name basis with at least 8 banquet hall owners.

You only get one good shave from a disposable razor.

If someone in your family grows beyond 5' 9",
it is presumed his Mother had an affair.

There were more than 28 people in your bridal party.

You netted more than $50,000 on your first communion.

And you REALLY, REALLY know you're Italian when . . . .

Your grandfather had a fig tree.

You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00.

Christmas Eve . . . only fish.

Your mom's meatballs are the best.

You've been hit with a wooden spoon or had a shoe thrown at you.

Clear plastic covers on all the furniture.

You know how to pronounce "manicotti" and "mozzarella."

You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy."

You've heard someone called a "mamaluke."

And you understand "bada bing."

Redneck on the road

This guy is walking along a dirt road when he stubbles upon an redneck lying on the ground with his ear in the dirt.


"Are you alright? What are you doing?" the man asks but gets no answer at all.

The redneck doesn't even acknowledge that he is there.

So after a while of silence the man asks again, "Can I help you sir?"

The redneck replies this time. "Ford pick-up truck, blue, 18 inch rims, two passengers, female driver."

"Wow! You can tell all that by listening to the ground!" the man says.

"NO" The redneck replies with a shocked look on his face "The bitch ran over me 10 minutes ago!"

GM ...Money Wasted..

I don't have anything good to say about General Motors, and I probably have not ever said anything good about them.  I just cannot, for the life of me, figure out what is so wonderful about the Volt that it is going to save the American car industry.  Did I miss something, or does it sound expensive to you to pay $41000 for a car that I can't drive more than 40 miles without a re-charge?  Why would I (or anyone else) do that ?  Also, remember this, what does not come out of a Volt's tailpipe comes out of a smokestack somewhere.  That electricity to charge it up is more than likely from an electric generation plant that is burning coal.  So GM may save Detroit, but also remember, it is really because of the taxpayer dollars that we gave them....

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"

Only the state of Alabama was different, where 96.4 percent of the final words were -
"Hey Y'all, hold my beer and watch this!"

So a dude turns to the guy next to him at a bar and asks, "Hey, you wanna hear a redneck story?"

The guy says, "Buddy, I'm six feet, 210 pounds, an' ma name's Billy Joe. You see the guy on the other side of you? That there's Bubba. He's 225 pounds of solid muscle and he's a redneck. And the boy next to him? Mike's a trucker who weighs 295 and he's a redneck, too. Now, do you still want to tell your redneck story?"

The fella says, "Naw, you're right. . . I'd hate to have to explain it three times!"

Before heading south for a vacation, it may be a good idea to learn the language of our southern brothers and sisters. And we're here to help...

Fridaze....

I was wondering the other day how a four legged animal (such as a dog) walks over debris on the path without stepping on anything.  Having only two legs, I still look down to be sure that I don't step on anything.  How does the animal look out for his back legs ?  Does his back feet always land where his front were ?


Obviously it is Friday and my mind shut off last night...

The madam opened the brothel door in Winnipeg and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.

 
'May I help you sir?' she asked.
'I want to see Valerie,' the man replied.

'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else', said the madam.

'No, I must see Valerie,' he replied.

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man she charged $5000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row as she was too expensive. But there were no discounts. The price was still $5000.

Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs.

After their session, Valerie questioned the man, 'No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?' she asked.

The man replied, " Ontario ".

"Really", she said. "I have family in Ontario too!"

"I know" the man said. "Your sister died, and I am her attorney. She asked me to personally give you your $15,000 inheritance, sorry for your loss".

The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain.
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Being screwed by a lawyer

It always feels better when the problem you have been fighting for two days turns out to be someone else's fault.   When the problem is finally fixed, we are all so glad.  I think I'll just go have a beer...


So it appears as though Breitbart cannot be held responsible for Sharrod's reputation or lost job, since apologies flew in all directions and she has been offered her job back.  She said that she is going to sue him though (and he deserves it), but I'm not quite sure what she could sue him for.

Money
It can buy a House
But not a Home

It can buy a Bed
But not Sleep

It can buy a Clock
But not Time

It can buy you a Book
But not Knowledge

It can buy you a Position
But not Respect

It can buy you Medicine
But not Health

It can buy you Blood
But not Life
So you see money isn't everything.

And it often causes pain and suffering.

I tell you this because I am your Friend,
and as your Friend I want to take away
your pain and suffering!

So send me all your money and I will suffer for you!
Cash only please.

 After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her

 trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found

shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally

unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the

local Target.

Dear Mrs. Wilson,


 Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a
 commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and
 have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our
 complaints against your husband, Mr. Wilson, are listed below
 and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

 1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them
 in other people's carts when they weren't looking.


 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off
 at 5-minute intervals.


 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor
 leading to the women's restroom.


 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an
 official voice, 'Code 3 in House wares. Get on it right away'.
 This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and
 receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted
 with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and
 costing the company money.


 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag
 of M&Ms on layaway.


 6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted
 area.


 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told
 the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring
 pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which
 twenty children obliged.


 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he
 began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me
 alone?' EMTs were called.


 9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and
 used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.


 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting
 department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.


 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while
 loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.


 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his
 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.


 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
 through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'


 14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud
 speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S
 THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'


 And last, but not least_:
 15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door,
 waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no
 toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.


 If you don't send this to 12 of your dearest friends, your
 property taxes will go up, your stocks will go down, and your
 middle will spread. (How's that for a curse?!?) What? It's
 already come true? Then send it anyway--you've got nothing' to
 lose!

Daddy's little girl

The farm had been mortgaged to give their daughter a university education. Now, driving home from the station after meeting her off the train, farmer Johnson was greatly disturbed when his daughter whispered, "I have a confession to make, Dad - I ain't a virgin no more." The old man shook his head sadly. "After all the sacrifices your Mum and I made to give you a good university education, you still say 'ain't'!"

MMMon-ddday!!!

Today was a miserable excuse for a bad Monday.  I'm really trying to make the best of it, but there are still a few more hours.

Things that should work, did work, and always have worked have stopped working.  Nobody has any idea why....


Amazon sold out of Kindle today.  I am confused.  This isn't the best unit or the cheapest.  You can only buy from Amazon and you cannot gift someone else's Kindle.  The iPad is better, albeit more money, but better readers and more flexible ones are on the way.  Why is anybody buying these now?? (Did I miss something ?)

A  Committee composed of Senators Daschle, Clinton, and Feinstein
have announced that the rescue of the Pennsylvania coal miners
has been repealed, and the miners will, by recommendation of the
Committee, be placed back in the mine. The Senators noted the
following violations in the rescue process:

10. Heavy diesel equipment was moved to the rescue site without
concern for possible air pollution.

9. Water was pumped out of the mine without first determining if
it was polluted, or providing an environmentally safe catchment
area for the water.

8. Numerous holes were drilled in the ground during the rescue,
without first performing an Environmental Impact study.

7. No effort was made to ensure racial, ethnic, and sexual
diversity of the rescue workers.

6. The Governor of Pennsylvania was heard to "Thank God" during a
live television broadcast of the rescue, violating the separation
of church and state.

5. Several people at this public, government supported, rescue
mentioned praying.

4. The trapped miners did not represent a diversified cross
section of American society.

3. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Hillary Clinton were not given
sufficient time to make speeches at the site.

2. The Senate was not given sufficient time to determine whether
or not any Republican office holder owned stock in the coal
company, thus being responsible for the conspiracy that caused
the mine to flood.

And Number 1: No one mentioned that Al Gore invented mine
rescues.

"Once a diversified group of miners has been chosen and placed
back into the mine shaft, the holes will be sealed, the water
will be returned to the mine, and the rescue will then be
undertaken again, in an environmentally and politically correct
manner", the Committee noted.

She's So Vane

The girl knelt in the confessional and said, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."

"What is it, child?"

"Father, I have committed the sin of vanity. Twice a day I gaze at myself in the mirror and tell myself how beautiful I am."

The priest turned, took a good look at the girl, and said, "My dear, I have good news. That isn't a sin - it's only a mistake."

Tarzan had been living alone in his jungle kingdom for 25 years with only suitably shaped holes in trees for sex.

Jane, a reporter, came to Africa in search of this legendary figure.

One day, deep in the wilds, she came to a clearing and discovered Tarzan vigorously thrusting himself into a jungle oak. She watched in awe for awhile.

Finally, overcome by this display of animal passion, Jane came out in to the open and offered herself to him.

As she reclined on the wild grass, Tarzan became aroused. He quickly ran over and kicked her in the crotch really hard.

In pain, she screamed, "What the hell did you do that for?".

Tarzan replied, "Tarzan always check for squirrels first.

Pickin' Away!

Isn't that utterly amazing about the guy that bought the old negatives from a garage sale in Fresno for $45 and they turn out out be the lost Ansel Adams negatives estimated at $200M in worth ?  I  would be very surprised if someone would pay that amount, though.  Even so, since there were sixty-five of them, even at $1M apiece!!!  


I'm going pickin'!

**Pick Up**

"Hello?"

"Hi honey, this is Daddy, Is Mommy near the phone?"

"No Daddy, She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank"

After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Frank"


"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now"

Brief Pause "Uh, okay then, ...this is what I want you to do. Put the phone
down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door, and shout to
Mommy that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway"

"Okay Daddy, just a minute"

A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone "I did it Daddy"


"And what happened honey?" he asked

"Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran
around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the
dresser and now she isn't moving at all!"

"Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Frank?"

"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too. He was all scared and he
jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he
didn't know that you took out the water last week to clean it, he hit the
bottom of the pool and I think he's dead"


***Long Pause***




***Longer Pause***



Then Daddy says . . .




Swimming pool??



...Is this 555-7039??????"

And we thought our lives were bad :)

A Jewish man walks into a bar and sits down.

He has a few drinks, then he sees a Chinese man and punches him in the face.

"Ouch!" the Chinese man says. "What was that for?"

"That was for Pearl Harbor," the Jewish man says.

"But I'm Chinese!"

"Chinese, Japanese, what's the difference?"

And the Jewish man sits back down.

Then, the Chinese man walks up to the Jewish man and punches him in the face.

"Ouch!" the Jewish man says. "What was that for?"

"That was for the Titanic," the Chinese man says.

"But that was an iceberg!"

"Ice berg, Goldberg, what's the difference?"

Around age 10 my dad got me a really cool present ... one of those little badass compound bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our place sticking arrows in anything that could get stuck by an arrow. Did you know that a 1955 40 horse Farmall tractor tire will take 6 rounds before it goes down? Tough sumbich.

After a week or two simple targets got boring, so being the 10 yr.old Dukes of Hazzard fan that I was, I quickly advanced to taking strips of cut up Tshirt doused in chainsaw gas tied around the end and was sending flaming arrows all over the place. Cool! Keep in mind that I lived in an area that was 99.999% humidity swampland so there really wasn't any fire danger. I'll put it this way - a set of post hole diggers and a 3ft. hole and you had yourself a water well.

Anyway, one summer afternoon, I was shooting flaming arrows into a large rotten oak stump in our backyard. I was making good progress and my aim was honestly quite good but even the flames weren't quite enough that day. As I was lighting up another arrow I looked over under the carport and saw a shiny brand new can of starting fluid (ether). Yup, my trusty light bulb went off. 


I grabbed the can and started walking toward the smoking stump, but then thought . . .when I hit the can with the arrow it would probably just spray out in a disappointing manner. I could probably do better. Let's face it. . . to a 10 yr. old mouth-breather like myself, the ether really didn't seem like it was going to be all that flammable. So, I went back into the house and got a 1 pound can of pyrodex (black powder for my dad's muzzle loader rifles). Yeah! Now we're talkin'!
Back outside, I set the can of ether on the stump and opened up the can of black powder. My intentions were to sprinkle a little bit around the ether can but it all sorta dumped out on me. No biggie...1lb pyrodex and 16oz ether should make a loud pop, kinda like a firecracker you know? I knew you had to pack it tight to make an explosion, so I was still pretty safe. . . just a cool flash, right? On second thought, screw that. I'm going back in the house for the other can. Yup, I got the second can of pyrodex and dumped it too. OK. Now we're cookin'.

I stepped back about 15ft and lit the 2-stroke-gassed-up arrow. I drew the nock to my cheek and took aim. As I released the arrow from my bow I heard a clunk behind me. In a slow motion time frame, I turned to see my dad getting out of the truck... OH S##T!

He just got home from work. So help me God it took 10 minutes for that arrow to go from my bow to the can. My dad was walking towards me in slow motion with a WTF look in his eyes. I turned back towards my target just in time to see the arrow pierce the starting fluid can right at the bottom. Bull's eye! . right through the main pile of pyrodex and into the can. WOW!

The shock knocked me off my feet. Well, truthfully, I don't know if it was the actual compression wave that threw me back or just a reflex kick-back from 235 frickin' decibels of sound. Honestly, I think I only caught a half a millisecond glimpse of the violence, but I will tell you there was an instant cloud of dust, grass, and bugs all hovering 1ft above the ground as far as I could see. It was like the earth moved 12 inches down and left all the dust, swarms of grasshoppers and spiders, and even a crawfish or two right where they had been sitting. Wow! Amazing!

It was like the earth moved 12 inches down and left all the dust, swarms of grasshoppers and spiders, and even a crawfish or two right where they had been sitting. Wow! Amazing!

The daylight turned purple. Let me repeat this...THE DAYLIGHT TURNED PURPLE! There was a slow rolling mushroom cloud about that had climbed to about 2000ft above our backyard. There was a big sweetgum tree by the gate going into the pasture. Notice I said "was". That hulk just gave up and fell over.

I was on the ground blown completely out of my shoes with my Thundercats T-shirt shredded. My dad was on the other side of the carport having what I can only assume was a Vietnam flashback - ECHO BRAVO CHARLIE, YOU'RE BRINGIN' EM IN TOO CLOSE!! CEASE FIRE, DAMMIT, CEASE FIRE!!!!!

I noticed that his hat had blown off and was lying 30 ft. behind him in the driveway. I also noticed, with a gut-wrenching feeling, that all the windows on the north side of the house had blown out. My Honda 185s 3-wheeler was parked near the site and now sat with its plastic fenders drooped down and touching the tires. Dang! I could even see the imprint of the tread into the plastic. .musta been hot, still smokin'. . .funny what you notice at times like that. 


I wish I knew what I said to my dad at this moment. Truth is, I don't know even if I said something. I couldn't hear anything. . .even inside my own head. I don't think he would have heard me anyway... not that it really mattered. I don't remember much from this point on. I said something, felt a sharp pain, saw black, woke up, felt another sharp pain, blacked out, woke later...my mother told me later that I repeated this process for more than an hour. She also said she had to give me CPR and try to keep dad from continuing to get at me. Yeah, bring him back to life so dad can kill him again. Thanks mom.

One thing is for sure... I never had to mow around that stump again. Mom had been bitching about that thing for years and dad never did anything about it. I stepped up to the plate and took care of business.

Dad sold his muzzleloaders a week or so later. I still have some sort of bone growth abnormality . . . either from the blast or the beating or both.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, get your kids outside more....into a good sport like archery. Its good discipline and will teach them skills they can use later on in life. Something they won't learn in school.

Hot Tub ...

Last night, my daughter's boyfriend Aidan, showed up with a copy of "Hot Tub Time Machine" and we proceeded to watch it.  I thought (frequently) that here was a good plot that was ruined by poor implementation and dialog.  The movie was funny- less funny than I would have expected, given that it is supposed to be riding "Hangover's" coat-tails.  IMHO the movie was wholeheartedly disappointing.  I'm glad I didn't pay to see it at the theater.

I'm still having difficulty dealing with my friend's health condition.  I'm not sure how to talk about it or be helpful.

In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was!

She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a wall."

A hunter kills a deer and brings it home. He decides to clean it, prepare it, and serve the deer meat for dinner. He knows his kids are fussy eaters, and won't eat it if they know what it is, so he doesn't tell them.

His little boy keeps asking him, "What's for dinner dad?"

"You'll see", he replies.

They start eating dinner and his daughter keeps asking him what they are eating.

"Ok", says her dad, "Here's a hint. It's what your mother sometimes calls me."

His daughter screams ... "Don't eat it, Jimmy! ... It's an asshole ..."

Two married fellas, Jim and Alec were having a beer after work. Jim says: "Have you ever said something when you meant to say something else?"

"How do you mean?" said Alec.

"Well, see the other day, instead of two tickets to Pittsburgh, I asked for two pickets to Titsberg"

"Yeah, I know what you mean," said Alec. "Last week I was having breakfast with my wife. I meant to say 'Pass me the Sugar.' But what came out was "You bitch, you've ruined my life!!!"

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Hard to get going this morning.  I guess what they say is true.  If you borrow sleep from the "bank", you have to pay it back eventually...


Friday night, I rented "Unthinkable" which was an amazing movie that unfortunately went directly to DVD.  It forced the viewer to think about many, many scenarios which are "unthinkable".  It also forced the cast of the movie to do things that were far beyond the law and American ideals, forcing them to be more like the terrorists we fight.  An unsettling but good movie.


Last night, we went to see "Salt".  I can say that I really enjoyed the movie and Angelina Jolie, but it left me with a desire and need for more from the plot.  The movie jumps into the middle of action without much background.  The audience is forced to put two and two together on their own, but frequently things did not add up to four.  I think that it deserves a sequel.  We have to know more of the main character and her background, and the reasons she does what she does.  The special effects and photography were well done.  We wanted to see more of the soft side of Angelina, but we were not allowed.  The plot twists are well hidden until they have to be revealed...


Just had a walk through Isla Vista and Devoureaux with Max and it was beautiful.  A light breeze was blowing over dark blue ocean and shiny breakers on the beach.

There was a young Scottish lad named Angus who decided to try
life in Australia. He found an apartment in a small block and
settled in.

After a week or two, his mother called from Aberdeen to see how
her son was doing in his new life.

"I'm fine," Angus said, "But there are some really strange people
living here in Australia. One woman cries all day long, another
lies on her floor moaning, and there is a guy next door to me who
bangs his head on the wall all the time."

"Well, ma wee laddie," says his mother, "I suggest you don't
associate with people like that."

"Oh," says Angus, "I don't, Ma'am, I don't. No, I just stay
inside ma apartment all day and night, playing ma bagpipes."

Ruthie was enjoying a good game of bridge with her girlfriends
one evening. "Oh, no! I have to rush home and fix dinner for my
husband! He's going to really ticked if it's not ready on time!"
she exclaimed suddenly.

When she got home, she realized that she didn't have enough time
to go to the supermarket, and all she had in the cupboard was a
wilted lettuce leaf, an egg, and a can of cat food. In a panic,
she opened the can of cat food, stirred in the egg, and garnished
it with the lettuce leaf just as her husband pulled up.

She greeted him and then watched in horror as he sat down to his
dinner. To her surprise, her husband really enjoyed his dinner.

"Ruthie, this is the best dinner you have made for me in forty
years of marriage. You can make this for me any old day."

Needless to say, every bridge night from then on, Ruthie made her
husband the same dish. She told her bridge cronies about it and
they were all horrified.

"You're going to kill him!" they exclaimed.

Two months later, her husband died.

Her bridge cronies came around to pay their respects and while
they were sitting around the kitchen table one of them said,

"You killed him! We told you that feeding him that cat food
every week would do him in! How can you just sit there so calmly
drinking tea knowing you murdered your husband?"

Ruthie stoically replied, "I didn't kill him. He fell off the
mantel while he was licking his butt."

Four people in the carriage of a train

- an Englishman, a pretty young blonde girl, an ugly old woman and a Frenchman.

It all goes dark when the train goes through a tunnel. In the dark there's the sound of an almighty slap, and when the train emerges from the tunnel the Frenchman is rubbing his face, and there's a huge red mark on his cheek.

The old lady thinks: "I bet that Frenchman fondled the blonde in the dark and she slapped him."

The pretty young blonde thinks: "I bet the Frenchman tried to fondle me in the dark, got the old lady by mistake, and she hit him."

The Frenchman thinks: "I bet that Englishman fondled the blonde in the dark, but the blonde thought it was me and hit me."

The Englishman thinks: "I hope there's another tunnel coming up soon so I can slap that French twat again."

Good morning!

A blonde named Cindy decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no prior lessons or experience.

Cindy mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but Cindy begins to slip from the saddle.

In terror, Cindy grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly unaffected by its slipping rider.

Finally, giving up her frail grip, she leaps away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup and she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves. Her head is struck against the ground again and again. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when.........

...... the supermarket manager runs out and shuts the horse off." 

 
Mother Superior called the nuns together and announced: "We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent." An old nun from the back of the room said: " Well, thank
God. I'm sick of Chardonnay". 

 

Life is too short...

Hearing from a very good friend recently has, once again, got me to thinking about my own vulnerability.  I was thinking about whether it is better to see your friends suffer or not to live long enough for that to happen...how depressing.  We are not here forever, but I thought less than forever was longer.....

A guy gets pulled over for speeding 88 MPH in a 45 zone. The cop
asks for his drivers license and the guy says, "I'm sorry
officer, but my license was suspended after my 5th DUI."

The cop asks for his registration and the guy says, "It's in the
glove compartment, but it's not in my name because I stole this
car in a car jacking. I killed the woman that owns the car and
stuffed her in the trunk and the gun I used is in the glove
compartment.

At this point the cop tells the guy to keep his hands in sight
and he radios for back-up.

When a supervisor shows up, the cop tells him the story and he
walks up to the guy in the car. The supervisor asks to see the
guy's drivers license and the guy hands it over and it is valid
with the guys real name and information.

The supervisor asks for the registration and the guy says, "It's
in the Glove compartment." The supervisor tells the guy to keep
his hands in sight and walks around to the passenger side and
opens the glove compartment. There is the registration in the
guys name and everything seems in order.

Next the supervisor asks the guy to get out and open the trunk.
The guy opens the trunk and the only thing there is a spare tire.

At this point the supervisor tells the guy what the other cop had
told him.

The guy says "I'll bet that lying S.O.B. told you I was speeding
too!

Facts about Men

Husbands are like children -- they're fine if they're someone else's.

Never trust a man who says he's the boss at home. He probably lies about other things too.

A woman's work that is never done is the stuff she asked her husband to do.

Go for younger men. You might as well -- they never mature anyway.

Scientists have just discovered something that can do the work of five men -- a woman.

Men's brains are like the prison system -- not enough cells per man.

Men are like place mats. They only show up when there's food on the table.

Men are like mascara. They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

Men are like bike helmets. Handy in an emergency, but otherwise they just look silly.

Men are like parking spots. All the good ones are taken.

Men are like lava lamps. Fun to look at, but not all that bright.

Men are like bank accounts. Without a lot of money, they don't generate much interest.

Men are like high heels. They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.

Aerospace Industry

My job is in the Aerospace Industry, and it's always been a challenge to explain just what kind of work I do.

At one gathering, I tried several unsuccessful attempted explanations before deciding to be as generic as possible. When the subject came up while I was talking with a group of guys, I replied simply, "Defense Contractor."

The men nodded, and as the conversation went on, I silently declared victory to myself. Then, one of them turned to me and asked, "So, what do you put up mainly? Chain-link?"

A man was brought before the judge and charged with Necrophilia.

The judge told him: "In 20 years on the bench, I have never heard such a disgusting and immoral thing. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't lock you up and throw away the key."

The man replied: "I will give you 3 good reasons:

(1) It's none of your damn business.
(2) She was my wife.
(3) I didn't know she was dead because she always acted that way!"
