Leprechaun here Campers~

I had a brilliant idea yesterday, brilliance and ideas being my forte rather than the Dragon’s and after confiring with the Dragon he decided upon due and careful consideration (read that half an hour in the Little Dragon’s Room with a copy of Mad magazine) to give my idea a try. I’m going to do the heavy lifting with regard to assembling issues and he’s going to be responsible for the opening comments. This makes things easier on both of us and he doesn’t have as much to do and I don’t have to struggle with opening remarks which I find difficult. We’ll still probably be sticking to my original plan of an every other day posting with slightly longer posts however.

So without further preamble I give you the founder of DragonLaffs our C.P.O. (Chief Pontificating Officer), ImpishDragon!

Good Morning campers!

We hope everyone is doing well or as well as can be expected on a cold and windy Thursday.
What?  You say it’s not cold and windy where you are?  Well, isn’t that odd.  And here I thought that where ever I was, was the center of the world and all other places derived from there.  Hmm….I’ll have to give that some thought.  That alone ought to take most of a day.
I wish to thank EVERYONE (and I do mean about everyone) for all the wonderfully kind messages and emails sent on my behalf.  Right now I don’t know anything more than I did the last time I wrote you.  I’m just waiting on the doctor to get a hold of me and set up an appointment.  The good news is….or would seem that the longer it takes them to make me an appointment, the less likely it is to be important.
Nah!
They’re just screwin’ with me!
LOL.
Anyway, what do you say, we get on with the laughter and jokes?

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: “I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,” she said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer’s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.”

“Very good,” said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next:

“I sold magazines,” she said, “I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.”

“Very good, Jenny,” said the teacher..

Eventually, it was Little Johnny’s turn.

The teacher held her breath …

Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher’s desk. “$2,467,” he said.

“$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What in the world were you selling?”

“Toothbrushes,” said Little Johnny.

“Toothbrushes!” echoed the teacher, “How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?”

“I found the busiest corner in town,” said Little Johnny, “I set up a Dip & Chip stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample.”

They all said the same thing, “Hey, this tastes like dog poop!”

Then I would say,”It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?”

“I used the progressive liberal government’s strategy of giving you something shitty for free, and then making you pay to get that taste out of your mouth.”

The 100 MPH Goat

Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.

The  first hunter says, “Wow, that’s some hole; I can’t even see the bottom; wunder how deep it is.”

The  second redneck says,” I don’t know, let’s throw somethin’ in, then listen and see how long it takes to hit  bottom.”

The  first guy says, “There’s an old transmission over there in the grass, give me a hand and we’ll throw it in and see”.

So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, two, three, and throw it in the hole.

They’re standing by the hole listening and looking over the edge, and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.

As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole and with no hesitation, jump in head  first.

While standing there looking at each other and looking in the hole trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up.

“Say there,” says the farmer, “you fellers didn’t happen to see a goat around here anywhere, did you?”

One of the rednecks says, ” Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin’ about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this here hole!”

The old farmer says, “That’s impossible, I had him tied to an old transmission!”.

 I’m guessing Zack is none too happy abut all the competition for a daily groaner because I have received quite a few from him. In truth I practically had to steal Mr. Peabody’s Way Back Machine to find the last time we used one of his. He’s brought his A game to the table this time though!

A university professor is lecturing a class, the subject for the day being the mating habits of the alligator. The professor says, “The female alligator lays three million four hundred thousand eggs at one time. The male alligator eats three million, three hundred and ninety-five of those eggs.”
From the back of the room, a student raises his hand and asks, “Sir, why does the male alligator eat all those eggs?”
The professor answers, “Because if he didn’t, we’d be up to our asses in alligators!”

President Barack Obama said in Turkey : “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.”

I  found this, (if not like most of the things that spill from his lips ill informed and grossly misstated) very interesting .
