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!"

The Greeter...

The Urban Dictionary carries this definition for a Wal-mart Greeter:

Usually someone of lesser intelligence or of a mentally impaired category. Top choices of wal-mart greeters are usually those with down syndrome, saggy balls, vaginal geriatric bat disease, or work release programs. Typically found at the entrance of wal-marts, and sometimes packing a roll of different colored stickers in which they approach you as if to molest you and whatever item you are carrying and at the last moment... hand extended... a round sticker of random color is stuck on the item you are holding... assaulting it... and labeling it a return or previously paid for item.... running from the wal-mart greeter is usually followed by people with walkie- talkies running after you....

I don't really know of a given example of wal-mart greeter grab a simple roll of already opened toilet paper and walk into any wal-mart.... you'll see one of the above... stalking you like a jilted speed dater on a rape quest. Blind people can even sense a wal-mart greeter by the constant sniffling of runny snot... and the faint odor of cottage cheese.

The wal-mart greeter at our store dripped snot on a radio I was returning and stuck a rainbow of stickers on my 3 yr old. When I tried to walk to the return desk "Bubba" followed my 3 yr old who was crying and asked if she "wanta to see my pokemon pee pee?" I have a lawsuit pending.

Amazing!


The latest in beer is $765 per bottle and it is bottled in roadkill!

An office manager at Walmart was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified --an American, a Russian, an Australian and a Mexican.
He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine who of them would get the job. The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked,
"What is the fastest thing you know?"
Dave, the American, replied, "A THOUGHT. It just pops into your head.
There's no warning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is
the fastest thing I know of."
"That's very good!" replied the interviewer.
"And now you sir?" he asked Vladimir, the Russian. "Hmm ... let me
see. A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever
happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer. "The blink of an eye, that's a very
popular cliche for speed."
He then turned to George, the Australian who was contemplating his
reply. "Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on
the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on.
Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of."
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought
he had found his man."It's hard to beat the speed of light" he said.
Turning to Eleuterio, the Mexican, the fourth and final man, the
interviewer posed the same question. Eleuterio replied, "Apter herring
da 3 preybyus ansers sir, et's obyus to me dat
the fastest thing is Diarrhea."
"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response. The others
were already giggling in their seats...
"Oh, I can expleyn sir,." said Eleuterio. " You see, sir, da ader day
my tummy was peeling bad and so I run so fast to the batrum, but
before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT,
I had alreydi shit in my pants!"
Eleuterio is now the new "Greeter" at Wal-Mart.

The Perfect Wal-Mart Greeter

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walks into Wal-Mart with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The Wal-Mart Greeter says, “Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart …. Nice children you’ve got there – are they twins?”
The ugly woman stops screaming long enough to say, “Hell no they ain’t, the oldest one, he’s 9 and the younger one, she’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins?…….. Do you really think they look alike?”
“No,” replies the greeter, “I just couldn’t believe you got laid twice!”

Cajun Confession  
A married Cajun went into the confessional and said to his priest, "I almos' had de affair wid annuder woman."

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"

The Cajun said, "Well, we get undress' and rub together, but den I stop."

The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."

The Cajun left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.

The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"

The Cajun replied, "Yeah fadder, but me..I rub de $50 on de box, and 'cordin' to you, that be de same as puttin' it in."

Thoughts on Aging
Ethel and Mabel, two elderly widows, were watching the folks go by from their park bench.

Ethel said, "You know, Mabel,I've been reading this 'Sex and Marriage' book and all they talk about is 'mutual orgasm'. Mutual orgasm here and mutual orgasm there. That's all they talk about. Tell me, Mabel, when your husband was alive, did you two ever have mutual orgasm?"

Mabel thought for a long while. Finally, she shook her head and said, "No, I think we had State Farm."

How They Can Solve Three Problems at Once
Here is how to do it:

First, Dig a moat the length of the Mexican Border.
Then take the dirt from the moat and use it to raise the levees in New Orleans.
Then put the Florida alligators in the moat.

Poof! Immigration problems are solved, you have levees that will withstand anything, and little children in Florida won't be gator lunch any more.

Now... any other problems you want me to solve?

Dear Hints to Heloise:

I am writing to say what an excellent product I have found Tide to be! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I continue to be amazed at the effectiveness of this wonderful cleaner.

About a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! So I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out!

In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband.

What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product.

Next week when I have time to write, I have some nice things to say about the Hefty bag product as well. 

Community Property
The old man ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, and then his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.

As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."

As the man began to eat his fries, a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."

As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked, "What is it you are waiting for?"

She answered: "THE TEETH." 

What a morning...

The alarm beeped and after a few minutes, I stumbled out of bed.  I gathered my clothes and shaved with one eye open.  I started the shower running to heat up the water.  I stepped in and it was though I drew my first breath of the morning.  Exhaling was nirvana provoking. I didn't move for what seemed like hours, as the warm water beat on my back and then my head.  The need to replace the sleep that had been cheated from my body and conscientiousness was only slightly lessened by last night's rest.  I'm beat and close to burnout.  

The coffee machine hummed, spit and whirred.  Soon my morning elixir would be hot and available. Max what whining to get out.  I let him out of his confining crate and then the back door.  In spite of his expressed need, he circled the lawn and a few of the shrubs for what seemed like minutes before relieving himself and returning into the kitchen.  He headed for his dish to see if I had gotten there yet with his morning food.  The coffee machine finally became quiet.  I poured myself a cup of provocation. The first swallow was truly enlightening, stirring up my energies and giving me the feelings of a cartoon character running in place before zipping away.  Why do cartoon characters often run in place for three seconds before they take off? Sometimes, that lolly gag gets them caught! 


Grabbed the recycling and a can of cat food and headed first to the laundry room (aka cat's overnight lair), fed her and headed to the bins outside.  When I came back into the house, I made Terre's lunch, packed with a fresh and clean napkin and delivered to her bedroom door.  Back to the kitchen to fetch a cup of sanity and sentience for Terre.  Delivering it, I announced that it was time to get up, shook her leg through the blankets and announced it again.


Would the paper be there yet ?  I gingerly opened the front door, shut off the porch lights, and meandered to the driveway, quickly wondering whether the paper guy(?) tossed it under the truck or in a more retrievable location this morning.  There it lied, next to the truck.  As I bent down to pick it up, I heard neighbors in their driveway, oblivious that I was witnessing their disregard for sleepers in the area by their loud recourse.


Back in the kitchen, my coffee (the morning's BFF), breakfast cereal and the paper.  I devoured them and then brushed my teeth and began my morning two mile commute to work.  The day has begun....



Unfortunately, it didn't get much better....

Also known as 'women's intuition,' this sixth sense thing is no
myth. Women seem to know what's going on in their man's lives
almost better than they do.

Why is this?

In the early 80's researchers discovered that women have more
connections between the brain's two hemispheres than men do. It's
these connections that allow them to put together a puzzle from
seemingly unconnectable pieces...

That, and they go through your shit while you're in the shower.

Randy the rooster

There was a chicken farmer and he had 200 hens. The farmer wanted to have some chicks so he went to the other chicken farmer down the road to buy a rooster.

The farmer asked the other chicken farmer if he had a few roosters to service his 200 chickens.

The farmer was surprised when the salesman said he had one rooster that would service all the chickens and his name was randy the rooster.

The farmer paid a great deal for randy the rooster and went on his way.

When they arrived back at the farm the farmer gave randy a quick pep talk.

"Now Randy there's 200 hens that need your services so I want you to pace yourself and steady goes it. I don't want you to hurt yourself cuz you are an expensive lil shit." Said the farmer

Randy the rooster was off like a shot. He nailed all 200 hens, he humped the piss outta em, 3-4 times a piece.

Then Randy the rooster raced to the pond. He tapped the geese, then he flew down to the creek and raped the ducks.

As soon as he was done there he raced back to the barn and up in the rafters where he fucked the pigeons.

The farmer was really amazed at his new rooster but went to bed.

The next morning the farmer looked out and say randy the rooster lying in the yard. He was as stiff as his dick the day before.

When the farmer went outside where the buzzards were circling above. He was very bummed to loose such a colorful animal.

as he was crying when randy opened an eye and said "shhh they're getting closer."

How do you know when a male porn star is at the gas station??

Right before the gas stops pumping he pulls out the nozzle and sprays it all over the car

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side).

While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar...so it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.

The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear..."

Abnormal behavior...

Harley-Davidson is considering a sacrilegious move out of Wisconsin.  Is it that they like it better somewhere else ? Not really, but the unions are driving them out with their demands.  Let's see, job with less benefits and pay versus no job.  That is a hard decision.   I can't blame them at all.  GM had to go bankrupt to get out from under union labor.  It's really well overdue to consider the consequences of doing business the same way you have been for the last umpteen years.  The unions have got to wake up.  It is REALLY their fault that we have so much outsourcing today that industries are dying off in the US.


Be careful what you say to a stewardess on your flight.  It may be misconstrued and she's not taking any chances.  This guy was escorted off the plane when he asked if there was a meal being served!  Perhaps we are all getting too "terror" sensitive!!!

One morning a man came into the church on crutches.  He stopped
in front of the holy water, splashed some on each leg, and then
threw away his crutches.

An alter boy witnessed the scene and then ran into the rectory to
tell the priest what he'd just seen.

"Son, you've just witnessed a miracle," the priest said. "Tell me
where is this man now?"

"Flat on his ass over by the holy water," said the boy.

Grandpa's Poem

I finally met the perfect girl
I couldn't ask for more
She's blind and deaf and dumb as a rock
And owns a liquor store

Shakespalin ?

Give me a break!  Sarah Palin is likening herself to Shakespeare because she mis-used a word.  She claims that she is inventing a new one!

I understand that Levi has come forth to marry Bristol again.  This time it comes with a promise not to live with mom!

Post your Shakespalin here.... Facebook

So the latest in smuggling is monkeys.  This idiot tried to smuggle eighteen monkeys under his shirt!  I can only imagine that he had trouble being still, and his shirt probably wiggled a lot.  What about the monkey sounds ??  How stupid (duh...) do you have to be to think that you'd get away with it ??

One day, two deputies in the Sheriff's Office answered an
emergency call at a farmhouse. When they walked in, they found
the nude bodies of a man and a woman in the bedroom. They had
been shot to death. When they went to the living room, they found
the body of a man with a gun at his side.

"No doubt about it," one deputy said to the other. "This was a
double murder and suicide. This guy came home and found his wife
in bed with somebody else and shot them both. Then he shot
himself."

"You're right," the other deputy replied. "Double murder and
suicide. But I'll bet you when the sheriff gets here he's going
to say 'it could have been worse.'"

"No way. How could it be worse? There are three people in the
house, and all of them have been shot to death. It couldn't be
worse. You're on."

About that time, the sheriff arrived at the scene. He walked into
the bedroom and saw the two nude bodies. He then walked into the
living room and saw the man on the floor with the gun by his
side.

"No doubt about it," the sheriff said, shaking his head. "It was
a double murder and suicide. This guy came home and found his
wife in bed with somebody else and shot them both. Then he shot
himself."

After hesitating for a moment, the old sheriff looked his
deputies squarely in the eyes. "But, you know," he said, "it
could have been worse."

The deputy who had lost the bet jumped up and shouted, "Sheriff,
how could it have been worse? There are three people in this
farmhouse, and all three of them are dead. It couldn't have been
worse??"

"Yes it could," the sheriff replied. "You see that guy there on
the floor? If he had come home yesterday, that would be me in
there in that bed!"

On the border of Russia and Poland there's a small forest. Half
of the forest belongs to a Russian farmer, while the other half
belongs to a Polish man.

One day, while out for a walk in the woods, the Russian man comes
across a wolf caught in a trap. He rushes back to his house and
calls his Polish neighbor.

"There's one of your wolves caught in a trap on my side of the
forest."

"How do you know it's one of *our* wolves?" the Polish farmer

asked.

"Well," the Russian replied, "he's already chewed off three of
his legs and he's still trapped."

A bus load of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer's barn.

The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate.

Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians.

A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone.

The old farmer told him he had buried them.

The sheriff asked the old farmer, “Lordy, were they ALL dead?”

The old farmer said, “Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them politicians lie.”

Waiting for this day to be done...

Woke up at 3:45 this morning.  I think I really never got my mind working today....Waiting for this day to be done...

I guess Sarah Palin had the same issue, since she couldn't remember the correct word to use, she decided on a Bushism (invent my own word), "refudiates". I bet she can't remember what newspaper she saw that in.... At least she got something to come out of her mouth....

Word is that Lindsay Lohan is a "mess" facing entry to jail tomorrow.  The poor thing (NOT). 


Big t'do about term limits: I have a few things to say about that.  #1: The kind of people that usually run for political offices are those we really don't even want around for one term.  #2: Limiting terms means you get to vote in a new crook instead of re-voting in the old crook.  Why are you re-voting in the old crook ?  Seems we always have had term limits, by just not voting for incumbents.  #3: Limiting terms tends to make the crookedness more concentrated in fewer terms.  Is that what we want either ?


Seems like what we really want is our cake and be able to eat it too.  We want an honest and hard working politician (IMPOSSIBLE) to be in office as long as he is honest and hard working.  If lobbying were more limited, then the campaigns would be less expensive (and probably more honest, as well).  The vote would be for the best person for the job. 


Has anyone ever considered a viability test for each voter before he can vote ?  Some people that you run into or hear about shouldn't be allowed to vote because they don't understand the issues or are just voting for the best looking candidate or whomever come up first in the ballot.  All term limits do is keep crooks from getting re-elected too many times or keep honest and hard working politicians from finishing their agendas.

 

Bill Gates met God, and God said

"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or to Hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in the world, and yet you created that ghastly Windows. I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to let you decide where you want to go."

Bill Gates said, "What's the difference between the two?"

God said, "It might help you decide if you took a peek at both places. Shall we look at Hell first?"

Bill was amazed. He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful men and women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect. "This is great!" said Bill. "If this is Hell, I can't wait to see Heaven."

God said, "Let's go!" and off they went to Heaven.

Bill saw puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky, with angels drifting about playing harps and singing. It was nice, but surely not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision. "God, I do believe I would prefer to go to Hell."

"As you wish," said God.

Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how things were going. He found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming amidst the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being tortured by demons with pitchforks. "How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.

Bill responded with anguish and despair, "This is awful! This is not what I expected at all! What happened to the beach and the beautiful women playing in the water?"

"Oh, that," said God. "That was the screen saver." 

A man was taking his wife, who was pregnant with twins, to the hospital when his car went out of control and crashed.

Regaining consciousness, he saw his brother, a relentless practical joker, sitting at his bed side.

He asked his brother how his wife was doing and his brother said, "Don't worry, everybody is fine and you have a son and a daughter.

But the hospital was in a real hurry to
get the birth certificates filed and since both you and your wife were unconscious, I named them for you."

The husband was thinking to himself, "Oh no, what has he done now?" and asked with some trepidation, "Well, bro, what did you name them?"

Whereupon, his brother replied, "I named the little girl Denise."

The husband, relieved, said, "That's a lovely name! And what did you come up with for my son?"

The brother winked and replied, "Denephew."

Moral: Don't let your family name your kids.

There was a family gathering, with all  generations around the table.

Mischievous teenagers put a Viagra tablet into
Grandpa's drink, and after a while, Grandpa excused himself
because he had to go to the bathroom.

When he returned, however, his trousers were wet all over.

"What happened, Grandpa?" he was asked by his
concerned children.

"Well," he answered, "I don't really know. I had to go to
the bathroom. So I took it out and started to pee, but then I
saw that it wasn't mine, so I put it back!"

Sleepy Day...

Well Tori got a very large picture of herself in the New-Press at the French Festival.  We were surprised...


It was warm today and I did very little around the house and yard.  Also, I am beat from the stresses of the week...


Now that the Gulf leak is (temporarily) plugged, keep your eyes peeled for news abut BP filing bankruptcy...  What will we do then ?  This is the REAL test for Obama...

I've been in contact with someone interested in buying the Vette that lives in Houston. I've been taking a lot of specific pictures of it for him, but I haven't heard  from him recently.  I wonder what conclusions he is coming to...


"The month of June was the warmest on record worldwide, according to a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."  I am amazed.  I thought last year was, or maybe it was just our proximity to all those wildfires.

Southern Baptist Dinner for Eight

A group of country friends from the Cottonwood Baptist Church wanted to get together on a regular basis to socialize, and play games. The lady of the house was to prepare the meal.
When it came time for Al and Janet to be the hosts, Janet wanted to outdo all the others. Janet decided to have mushroom-smothered steak, but, mushrooms are expensive. She then told her husband,'No mushrooms. They are too high.' He said, 'Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those mushrooms? There are plenty in the creek bed.' She said, 'No, some wild mushrooms are poison.' He said, 'Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK.' So, Janet decided to give it a try. She picked a bunch, washed, sliced, and diced them for her smothered steak. Then she went out on the back porch and gave Ole' Spot(the yard dog) a double hand full. Ole ' Spot ate every bite. All morning long, Janet watched Ole' Spot and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him, so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success, and Janet even hired a helper lady from town to help her serve. She had on a white apron and a fancy little cap on her head. After everyone had finished, they relaxed, socialized, and played Phase 10 and Mexican train dominoes. About then, the helper lady from town, came in and whispered in Janet's ear, 'Mrs. Williams, Ole 'Spot just died' Janet went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down, she called the doctor and told him what had happened.The doctor said, 'That's bad, but I think we can take care of it. I will call for an ambulance and I will be there as quick as possible. We'll give everyone enemas and we will pump out everyone's stomach. Everything will be fine. Just keep them calm. Soon they could hear the siren as the ambulance was coming down the road. The EMTs and the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and a stomach pump. One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema, and pumped out their stomach. After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, 'I think everything will be fine now.' Then he left. They were all looking pretty weak sitting around the living room,and about this time, the helper lady came in and said, 'You know, that fellow that ran over Ole' Spot never even stopped.

Stella Awards
It's time once again to review the winners of the Annual "Stella Awards." The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in NM). That case inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States.

Here are this year's winners:

5th Place (tie): Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.

5th Place (tie): 9-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

5th Place (tie): Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

4th Place: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

3rd Place: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

2nd Place: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.

1st Place: This year's run away winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around. 

Test for Dementia 
Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are.

Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)



First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?







Answer: If you answered that you are first,
then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up in the next question.

To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?







Answer: If you answered that you are second to last,
then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

You're not very good at this! Are you?

Third Question: Very tricky math!

Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20.

Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

Scroll down for answer.







Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters:

1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.

What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Answer:Nunu?







NO!Of course not.

Her name is Mary. Read the question again



Okay, now the bonus round:

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?





He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Summer Saturday (enjoy it while we can)...

Tori went to the French Festival today and came home with beautiful Lavender and a three-foot baguette. She said it was very crowded.

We went for a hike (with Max) on the Elwood Bluffs and down along the sand.  The day was beautiful and the surf had washed up many rocks and shells.  I found a Sandollar, which I never see here at all.



We went to see "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" this afternoon and heartily enjoyed it.  The part was made for Nicholas Cage...

Late Night Call

A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.

The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up.

The husband said, "Who was that?" The wife said, "I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear"

Welcome Friday...

I think that Apple's response to their antenna woes and the bad publicity surrounding the problem is way too small.  They are still in "Toyota-land", but will get away with it because of their maniacal fan base.  Giving away a free case (i.e. BAND-AID), is the cheap way to (hopefully) get out of jail, so to speak.  I would bet that iPhone5 is not too far away, and you can bet that the problem will be fixed.  I cannot imagine spending that kind of money and hearing that the best solution to my problem is to put duct tape over the antenna. 

At Heathrow, a 300-foot long red carpet is stretched out to Air
Force One and President Bush strides to a warm but dignified
handshake from Queen Elizabeth II.

They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of
central London where they board an open 17th century coach
hitched to six magnificent white matching horses.

They ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and
waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets,
all is going well.

But suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most
horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of gastronomic
flatulence ever heard in the British Empire, including Bermuda,
Tortola and the Falkland Islands. It shakes the coach.

Uncomfortable, but under control, the two dignitaries of state do
their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen
decides that's ridiculous. She turns to Mr. Bush and explains,
"Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand
that there are some things that even a Queen cannot control."

George W. Bush, ever the gentleman, replies, "Your Majesty,
please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you
hadn't said something, I would have thought it was one of the
horses...."

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items
in front of him.  When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a
large empty jam jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks
about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jam jar
was full? They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,
rolled into the open areas between the rocks.  He then asked the
students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The
students laughed.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar.  Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is
your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your
partner, your health, your children - things that if everything
else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be
full.  The pebbles are the other things that matter like your
job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small
stuff."

 "If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for
the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never
have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention
to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your
children. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your partner
out dancing.  There will always be time to go to work, clean the
house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal." Take care of
the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your
priorities. The rest is just sand."

But then... A student then took the jar which the other students
and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a
glass of beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces
within the jar making the jar truly full.

The moral of this tale is: that no matter how full your life is,
there is always room for a BEER.

The Hospital Bill

A man was brought to Mercy Hospital, and taken quickly in
for coronary surgery. The operation went well and, as the
groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a
Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun,
gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however,
how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered
by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.

"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.

"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.

"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But
she's a humble spinster nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not
'spinsters;' they are married to God."

"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the
bill to my brother-in-law." 

in those days...

The Washington Post had a contest wherein participants were asked to tell the younger generation how much harder they had it "in the old days." Winners, runners-up, and honorable mentions are listed below.
Second Runner-Up:
In my day, we couldn't afford shoes, so we went barefoot.
In winter, we had to wrap our feet with barbed wire for traction.

First Runner-Up:

In my day, we didn't have MTV or in-line skates, or any of
that stuff. No, it was 45s and regular old metal-wheeled
roller skates, and the 45s always skipped, so to get them
to play right you'd weigh the needle down with something
like quarters, which we never had because our allowances
were way too small, so we'd use our skate keys instead and
end up forgetting they were taped to the record player arm
so that we couldn't adjust our skates, which didn't really
matter because those crummy metal wheels would kill you if
you hit a pebble anyway, and in those days roads had real
pebbles on them, not like today.


And the winner:

In my day, we didn't have rocks. We had to go down to the
creek and wash our clothes by beating them with our heads.


Honorable Mentions:

In my day, we didn't have fancy health-food restaurants.
Every day we ate lots of easily recognizable animal parts,
along with potatoes.


In my day, we didn't have hand-held calculators. We had to
do addition on our fingers. To subtract, we had to have some
fingers amputated.


In my day, we didn't get that disembodied, slightly ticked-
off voice saying 'Doors closing.' We got on the train, the
doors closed, and if your hand was sticking out, it scraped
along the tunnel all the way to the next station and it was
a bloody stump at the end. But the base fare was only a
dollar. 

A little boy was attending his first wedding , after the service , his young cousin asked him , '' how many woman can a man marry ? '' '' Sixteen '' the boy responded . his cousin was amazed that he answered so quickly . '' how do you know that '' '' easy '' the little boy said , '' all you have to do is add it up , like the preacher said : four better , four worse , four richer , four poorer '' 

While driving in Pennsylvania

a family followed an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense
of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand painted sign:

"Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step on exhaust."
