Leprechaun Laughs # 404 for Wednesday August 9th 2017

image

Been raining or T-storming (or both) here everyday for about 10 days now so everything, including my Lord of the Fae throne is getting a wee bit waterlogged and mushroomy I’m afraid. I don’t really mind the mushrooms all that much, someone will pick them shortly I’m sure and after that they’ll wind up featured in a dinner. No, it’s the bloody damp pants and skivvies that bloody well annoy me! Even when I put a pad on the chair is soaks through quickly.

Don’t suggest a golf umbrella over the throne either- that’s how my predecessor wound up waking up to find himself one of the Lollipop Guild Munchkins in Oz.

On the bright side we’re sure as heck not in any danger of being drought stricken with all this rain. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off ta get fitted for one of those “Gorton’s Fisherman” rain slicker outfits. Wonder if it comes in green?

Between the heat and humidity here (to say nothing of the daily torrential T-storms) I’m seriously considering getting one of these installed here at Keebler Towers. Of course the two attendants will be much older and legal age. Diamen? Jeannie? Any takers on the positions? It even comes with free uniforms, that is if micro string bikinis can be called uniforms that is.

Amazing! Twin Magicians  BLOW YOUR MIND with Magic! America’s Got Talent 2017

[Thanks to my Cali Beach Babes Diamen & Jeannie for this magical bit of entertainment.]

A forked tongue speaks:

A Congressman was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey.

He said, “If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I’m against it. But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I’m for it. This is my position, and I will not compromise.”

Ok I have to admit while funny this next one has serious merit!

The Stuttering Cat

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students.

“Human beings are the only animals that stutter,” she says.

A little girl raises her hand. “I had a kitty-cat who stuttered.”

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

‘Well’, she began, ‘I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!’

‘That must’ve been scary, ‘ said the teacher.

‘It sure was, ‘ said the little girl. ‘My kitty raised her back, went “Ffffff! Ffffff! FfffffF!” but before she could say ‘Fuck Off!’ the Rottweiler ate her!

The teacher had to leave the room…

Here’s an idea- since it seems playing football can ultimately be potentially lethal deadly, maybe we should abolish Pro Football teams in favor of Pro Penitentiary teams like in that movie they made and then remade, The Longest Yard. Your team makes it to the Parole Bowl and you all get an extra parole hearing. No parole? Get a year off your sentence.  MVPs get promoted to custodial status.

Some one needs to teach that dog it’s “Reach, Row, Throw & Go”!

Impish is still carrying on a bit about Wood Chippers and getting fed to one, though admittedly he’s only doing it now whenever I give him a cross look or on the rare occasion he realizes he’s messed up badly.

I fail to understand why. I mean seriously, come on! Hypothetically, were I ever going to do something like that, I’d need something a heck of a lot bigger and more powerful that that trailered little wood chipper! Something serious, industrial, heavy duty. Possibly something two stage even to get him into really little easy to dispose of bits. Something like this for example:

NOT that I would EVER even CONSIDER doing something that cruel, hurtful or mean to my bestest bud and biggest paying client!

See Pal?  Your safe with me!  Besides, I can’t bill you for all the help I give you if your dead!

There were two nuns…

One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM), and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL).

It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.

SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.

SL: It’s logical. He wants to rape us.

SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most! What can we do?

SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster…

SM: It’s not working.

SL: Of course it’s not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.

SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.

SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I’ll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.

Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.

Then Sister Logical arrives.

SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!

SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn’t follow us both, so he followed me

SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.

SM: And?

SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me

SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?!

SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?

SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.

SM: Oh, no! What happened then?

SL: Isn’t it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than man with his pants down.

And for those of you who thought it would be dirty,

I’ll pray for you!

Dragon Laffs #1552

Dragon Laffs 2
Good Morning Campers,

I had reserved Friday night to write up my opening for today’s issue, but I’ve got some heavy-duty pain going on, so I’m just going to let you jump right in to the issue.  I hope for a more chatty issue next time.

Let’s Laugh!

2893

An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up “executing” the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: “Because that’s all the ammunition we had.”

Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what?
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied:
“When you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die.”

2894

 

I found this not only entertaining, but quite interesting.

 

2895

 

And here’s another one that I found quite interesting

This one was sent in by K2 and is just called Hmmmm!

*Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

* What if my dog only brings back my ball because he thinks I like throwing it?

* If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

* Which letter is silent in the word “Scent,” the S or the C?

* Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn’t it be called double V?

* Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.

* Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty

– Intentionally losing a game of rock, paper, scissors is just as hard as trying to win.

– 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars.

  Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

– Your future self is watching you right now through memories.

– The doctors that told Stephen Hawking he had two years to live in 1953 are probably dead.

– If you replace “W” with “T” in “What, Where and When”, you get the answer to each of them.

– Many animals probably need glasses, but nobody knows it.

– If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes in it than there were before.

– If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday, we’ll just call it “2’s Day”.

This was sent to me by a good friend who I won’t name because I don’t want him to get the hate mail I know I’m going to get. I present this short essay.

To all the whiners on the left, and to the crybabies in the LGBT community, let me throw some reality into your bowl of fruity pebbles…

Nobody has a “right” to serve in the Military.  Nobody!!

What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer?  Very far from it.

The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for a variety of reasons, like being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short.

Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing fingers or toes, poor eyesight will disqualify you, poor hearing, undernourished, Drug addiction, metal implants, Criminal history, Anxiety, Phobias, Hearing voices in your head, Self-identify as a Unicorn, handicapped in anyway, Can’t run the required distance in the required time, Can’t do the required number of pushups or sit-ups, have an eating disorder, or any kind of mental disorder, have a below average IQ, can’t read or comprehend English, can’t problem solve or make quick decisive decisions.

Are you not really a “morning person” and refuse to get out of bed before noon?   You’re out!

You have a penis but want to use the women’s restroom?  You’re out!

Don’t like the camouflage uniforms because you’d rather wear pink?  You’re out!

The Military has one job… Prepare for War against anybody who threatens the safety and sovereignty of our nation!  Anything else is a distraction and a liability.

Did someone just scream “That isn’t Fair”?  War is VERY unfair.  There are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful or different.

YOU change yourself to meet Military standards.  Not the other way around.

I say again:  You don’t change the Military standards… you must change yourself.

The Military doesn’t need to accommodate anyone with special needs or emotional and mental issues.  The Military needs to Win Wars.

If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality… Then Thank you for applying and good luck in your future endeavors.  Who’s next in line?

Having served for over 12 years of active duty and another 12 years as a civilian working for the military, I say hear! hear! 

The military is not, never has been, and should never become, an equal opportunity employer!  It’s too dangerous and too important of a job to be for “everybody”.  There are plenty of other ways for you to serve your country if that is truly what you want to do.

And yes!  I’m ready for the hate mail.  Go ahead and comment.

Thoughts on sex!

“Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.  
Rodney Dangerfield

“There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women.

Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL.”  
Lynn Lavner

“Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.”   Camille Paglia

“Sex is one of the nine reasons for incarnation. The other eight are unimportant.”  

George Burns

“Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake a whole relationship.”  Sharon Stone

“My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.”

Jack Nicholson

 Clinton  lied.  A man might forget where he parks or where he lives, but he never forgets oral sex, no matter how bad it is.”  
Barbara Bush (Former US First Lady)   

“Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.”
Robin Williams

“Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place”  
Billy Crystal

“According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful.”
Robert De Niro

“There’s a new medical crisis. Doctors are reporting that many men are having allergic reactions to latex condoms. They say they cause severe swelling. So what’s the problem?”
Dustin Hoffman

“There’s very little advice in men’s magazines, because men think, ‘I know what I’m doing. Just show me somebody naked !”
Jerry Seinfeld

“See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.”
Robin Williams

“It’s been so long since I’ve had sex, I’ve forgotten who ties up whom.”  
Joan Rivers


“Sex is one of the most wholesome, beautiful and natural experiences money can buy.”  
Steve Martin 

” You don’t appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-..aged woman. Stuff you pay good money for in later life.”
Elmo Phillips 

” Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.”
Oscar Wilde

” It isn’t premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.”
George Burns

When I took it apart, I found that the printer cartridge itself was actually quite small, but they made the packaging unnecessarily large to make it harder to steal and to make the customer feel better about the high price.

I pointed this out to my wife and mentioned how my weight gain over the years of our marriage should have the same effect: It made me seem more valuable and also made me harder for other women to steal.

She’s still laughing.

Leprechaun Laughs #403 for Wednesday Aug 2nd 2017

Well it finally happened, we had our first of soon to be many; “Heat Advisory issued July 29 at 10:13AM CDT until July 29 at 7:00PM CDT by NWS Houston – Galveston”  on Saturday with promises of; “High temperatures near 103 degrees and heat index values 107 to 110 degrees across the all of the advisory area.”

Now is the time of year where hot tubs are covered to keep them cool, not hot and you don’t use the heater in them you use 5 pound blocks of ice to lower the temps.

Let’s get this started before it gets too hot for me to commute back to Keebler Towers.

Too hot for regular coffee so I’ve switched to iced coffee. Oh- the stone with the handle? Goes in the freezer, that way you keep your cold drinks colder longer with less ice to dilute them when you rest them on it.

And in case you’re wondering that’s the real reason behind the up coming eclipse -the broiling of Texas.

image

image

Yup we know. There is a Solar Eclipse event in our near future. As always we here at DL/LL Digital Media Enterprises are right on top of this. Well…okay…some of us are anyway. There might be one of us who is too busy hiding from a wholly  illogical fear/ unfounded threat of trailer towed  gas operated Flora Waste Compaction Devices.

Lethal looks around for Impish before whispering “You know- Wood Chippers”

“In fact…I…umm…Please excuse me just a moment I do apologies but frankly this hypochondriac Dracomulchaphobia boloney of Impish’s has gone on quite far enough I feel it necessary to immediately counsel him on his irrational behavior.”

Lethal attaches a Go Pro to his suit lapel then exits stage right. A moment later he’s at what appears to be a cargo lift. He does something with his phone and suddenly you hear Impish’s voice carefully stating “Coffee, Virgins, Cigars, Bacon and Jerky. This is my voice recognition password string”  The doors part and Lethal enters. A moment later the doors reopen and Lethal walks into Impish’s office.

Impish who looks horribly worn down seems to be attempting to divide his time between doing what ever it is that is strewn all over his desk, peering fearfully out the French doors of his private terrace and fitfully listening at his door all the while muttering to himself about wood chippers, gore, gas engines and strange sounds.

Lethal strides right up to Impish and firmly grabs an earlobe, much like a mother with a recalcitrant child, and proceeds to apply thumb nail pressure until suddenly he has Impish’s undivided attention. Impish begins to open his mouth in protest but Lethal finger jabs him in the end of the nose before he can commence whining.

“NO! YOU JUST SHUT YOUR BLOODY GOB AND LISTEN! This bollocks about wood chippers has gone on sodden well long enough you right git!  ENOUGH ALREADY!

You have about as much chance of being compacted by a wood chipper as the entire planet does of seeing the Sol star consumed by one. Now I suggest you get a hold of yourself and I’m NOT referring to in a manner requiring personal lubricants, bloody well straighten your act up and start acting like the level headed troublesome sidekick I’ve known these past 7 years. OTHERWISE, I’ll be forced to seriously consider booking you into The Hokey Pokey Clinic for a prolonged series of sessions with Dr. Phil, Nurse Barney. Plus several lab times with Dr. Frank N. Furter until such time as one of them can locate the reason, psychological or physical, why your brain seems to be so firmly lodged up your bum! AM I CLEAR?!”

Impish whimpers as the thumb nail pressure on his earlobe has grown more and more intense through out Lethal’s “Come to Jesus Counseling Session” and carefully nods.

“I believe you Lethal. You’d tease me a lot and maybe deceive me a little, but never outright lie to me. If you’re will to make that kind of assertion, I’ll take your word for it and quit worrying about it. I’m sorry.”

Much less forcefully, Lethal says as he releases Impish’s ear, “Good! Nice to have you back among the numbers of the nearly sane. Now clean up this mess first and finish your paperwork. I’ll see to it some Brown Gold and a full on Deli Platter for 6 made with my stash, including the Pastrami, Potato Salad and Kosher Pickles gets sent up here.

Remember I promised you’ve got nothing to worry about a giant wood chipper will eat the sun before you ever get eaten by one.”

Impish nods while rubbing his tormented ear and returns to his desk to begin reordering all the papers on it as Lethal returns down stairs.

Now where was I? Oh yes! In fact on the 16th I’ll have nearly an entire issue devoted to the upcoming event full of educational and informational features on the rare event. I’ve been lucky enough in my life to witness an Annular and a Total Solar Eclipse from near perfect locations, the former in 1994 and the later in 1970. I’ve also witnessed about half a dozen Lunar Partial/Full Eclipses. What? KILLER date material! You take a nice lady someplace private and dark away from bright lights with a great view Then there is all this time to kill because you went early to get the best location.

Huh? Question? Sure! Yes I did tell Impish that a giant wood chipper would eat the sun before he got eaten by one, what of it? The Solar Eclipse? Not sure I follow. Look at it from Impish point of view? [chuckling] Lad my neck isn’t long enough or serpentine  enough to view the word with me head up me… OH BLODDY HELL! HE WOULDN’T think… SIGH!

Lethal runs off stage right yelling for Impish.

The Cork

Two Arab terrorists are in a locker room taking a shower after their bomb making class, when one notices the other has a huge cork stuck in his behind.

“If you do not mind me saying,” said the second, “that cork looks very uncomfortable. Why do you not take it out?”

“I regret I cannot”, lamented the first terrorist. “It is permanently stuck in my rear end.”

“I do not understand,” said the other.

The first terrorist says, “I was walking along the beach and I tripped over an oil lamp. There was a puff of smoke, and then a huge old man in an American flag attire with a white beard and top hat came boiling out. He said, “I am Uncle Sam, the Genie. I can grant you one wish.”

I said, “No shit?”

God Bless America!

Contact  Consumers  1-800-590-3797

Announcement

Bush Brothers found the issue as part of their quality control inspections.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide in retail stores.

This event only affects the flavors and lot codes below. Lot codes are printed on the bottom of the can.

The bronze rat

A tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San

Francisco. While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the old shop owner and asked, “How much for the bronze rat?”

“Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat and $100 for the story,” said the wise old Chinaman.

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars.

“I’ll just take the rat, you can keep the story”.

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.

A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward San Francisco Bay.

Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat and were all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

“Ahhh,” said the owner, “You come back for story?”

“No sir,” said the man, “I came back to see if you have a bronze Democrat.”

Impish’s latest Capitol Venture- Dragon Farms Turkeys. He’s decided he likes turkey so much that he wants it available for his menu year round and to make sure none get poached he’s having them tattooed with his likeness.

Speaking of Impish right before he went wood chipper whacko he’d told me he’d gotten a new hide out. I asked him if he’d followed my security suggestions. Answering in the affirmative he indicated he’d even taken my advice about a gate on the approach and keeping things low key. Somehow I think our definitions of low key are considerably different.

Sounds about right to me!

Priest’s retirement speech

A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. The democrat mayor and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

However, the mayor was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited: Thank Goodness we Catholics have a wonderful sense of humor!

“I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents; embezzled from his employer; had an affair with his boss’s wife; had sex with his boss’s 17 year old daughter on numerous occasions, taken illegal drugs; had several homosexual affairs; was arrested several times for public nudity and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled that one person could do so many awful things. But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.”;

Just as the Priest finished his talk, the mayor arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:

“I’ll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,” said the mayor. “In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession.”

Moral: Never, Never, Never Be Late

A man in a Florida supermarket tries to buy half a head of lettuce.

The very young produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole heads of lettuce.

The man persists and asks to see the manager.

The boy says he’ll ask his manager about it.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, “Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce.”

As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, “And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half.”

The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.

Later the manager said to the boy, “I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?”

“Canada, sir,” the boy replied.

“Well, why did you leave Canada?” the manager asked.

The boy said, “Sir, there’s nothing but whores and hockey players up there.”

“Really?” said the manager. “My wife is from Canada.”

“No shit?” replied the boy. “Who’d she play for?”

A blonde enters a pet store. She looks about the store, she notices a box FULL of frogs.

The sign says:

‘SEX FROGS’

Only $20 each!

Comes with ‘complete’ instructions.

The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody’s watching her. She whispers softly to the man behind the counter, ‘I’ll TAKE one!’

As the man packages the frog, he quietly says to her, ‘Just follow the instructions!’

The blonde nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home.

As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, she opens the instructions and reads them very carefully She does EXACTLY what is specified:

1. Take a shower.

2. Splash on some nice perfume.

3. Slip into a very sexy nightie.

4. Crawl into bed and place the frog down beside you, and allow the frog to do what he has been trained to do.

She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and to her surprise … NOTHING happens! The blonde is very disappointed and quite upset at this point. She re-reads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper it says, ‘If you have any problems or questions … please call the pet store.’

So, she calls the pet store. The man says, ‘I’ll be right over.’ Within minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell. The blonde welcomes him in and says, ‘See, I’ve done everything according to the instructions. The damn frog just SITS there!’

The man … looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares ‘directly into its eyes’ and STERNLY says:

‘LISTEN TO ME!!

I’m only going to show you how to do this

ONE MORE TIME…

TOP CARE FOR THE ELDERLY.

A man goes to visit his 85-year old grandpa in the hospital.

“How are you grandpa?” He asks.

“Feeling fine.” says the old man.

“What’s the food like?”

“Terrific, wonderful menus.”

“And the nursing?”

“Just couldn’t be better. These young nurses really take care of you.”

“What about sleeping? Do you sleep okay?”

“No problem at all, nine hours solid every night. At 10 o’clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet and that’s it. I go out like a light.”

The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes off to question the nurse in charge.

“What are you people doing” he says. “I’m told you’re giving an 85 year old Viagra on a daily basis. Surely that can’t be true?”

“Oh, yes” replies the nurse. “Every night at 10 o’clock we give him a cup of chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well”.

“The chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed”.

Oh how I wish that were actually me…lounging by the cookie jar, relaxing, enjoying the sun, but no!  I’ve been in hiding ever since … well … it seems like forever. 

But, before we get into that, I have a special favor to ask of all of you.  Jeanie (Diaman’s Sister) fell and broke her collar bone.  Now, Diaman says she’ll be fine.  She won’t require any surgery, just a sling for a few weeks (OUCH!  Okay!  Okay!  Six weeks is NOT “just a few weeks!” Wow!  For having a busted collar bone you still have a heck of a punch!  A PINCH!??!  THAT was a PINCH!??!  Oh, I am not a baby!  NO!  Don’t do it again!)

Ahem!  Miss Jeanie will be in a sling for about SIX weeks and then possibly some physical therapy after that.  So, from all of us…

Do you remember this picture that Lethal had?

He said it wasn’t blood in the chipper, it was sap from a particular kind of tree.  And I believe him.  Hell, I saw the guys take down the trees to help with my landings and I deeply appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness that Lethal put into that for me.  He is my brother and has my back always…

But…

Every little noise I hear sounds like a wood chipper.

Every odor I smell, smells like gasoline fumes.

Every time I close my eyes I dream of:

Or this:

I…I think I have a phobia.

Dracomulchaphobia.

I need to see someone.  Someone who can help me with my fears.

I did a google search for doctors who can help with the fear of wood chippers.  Do you know there is not a single one?!  Not one!  The best I could come up with is a doctor who specializes in Alchmophobia.  That’s the fear of sharp objects.  (I’d just call that common sense myself).

Anybody out there know of anyone who can help me with this problem?

Anyone?

Don’t all answer at the same time.

Okay….

Well…if you think of anyone, just … well … just add it to the comments and maybe where ever I move my hideout to, I’ll have internet access. 

For now then…

No, it’s not my sister.  Just what I thought was an appropriate picture for today.  And while we’re on the subject, there’s a rumor going round that Jeanie got her shoulder hurt by being near my landing pond during a particularly … um … ungraceful landing of mine.  That is patently not true.  Besides, the court records are all sealed, the payments have been made and don’t let the next cartoon lead you to any wrong conclusions.

Two Chinese brothers named Hing and Ming were devoted to the search for ultimate wisdom; however, each differed greatly on how it was to be found.
One day their pet chicken fell ill, began to molt, and soon lost all its feathers. The brothers decided that this would be an ideal test case and agreed to each spend two months trying to cure the chicken.

Hing immediately went back to the university. Having studied ornithology and traditional Chinese medicine, he decided that the answer to the chicken’s illness was a prescription of gum-tree leaf tea. He gathered bushels of the tea leaves, brewed gallons of the tea, and poured it into the chicken’s mouth for two months. Each day he prepared the tea leaves in different recipes, coming up with dozens of courses for the sick chicken.
Meanwhile, Ming traveled all around China, praying at the shrines of his ancestors. One night he had a dream. His ancestors appeared and told him to feed the chicken tea made from gum tree leaves. Ming, aware of his brother’s lack of success in this same venture, decided that the problem was quantity. Ming trusted his ancestors; after all, his family had always given him sound advice.
He gathered whole carloads of leaves and brewed barrels of the tea and poured them into the chicken for two months, all the time extolling the virtues and honor of his family’s ancestors.
Unfortunately, after two months of treatment, the chicken was still sick and naked as a bowling ball.
Apparently, all of Hing’s courses and all of Ming’s kin, couldn’t make gum tea refeather a hen.

So, Papa Dragon is trying to make up for his earlier submissions.  Here’s one for the golfers:

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize.golfer2
‘Please allow me to help. I’m a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you’d allow me,’ she told him.
‘Oh, no, I’ll be all right. I’ll be fine in a few minutes,’ the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hand at his groin.
At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his trousers and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, ‘How does that feel’?

‘Feels great,’ he replied; ‘but I still think my thumb’s broken!’

Last Word

Today’s Last Word was sent in by Diaman and it perfectly expresses the Love and Importance that Lethal and I feel for everyone of you…because we give to you are most precious gift of all.

The last wishes of Alexander the Great…

On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:

1. The best doctors should carry his coffin.

2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery.

3. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see.

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain.

Here is what Alexander the Great had to say:

1. “I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal.”

2. “I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, will stay on earth.”

3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is:

TIME.

We do not take to our grave any material wealth.

TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time.

When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back. Our time is our life!

The best present that you can give to your family and friends is your TIME.

May you be granted plenty of TIME, to share with all.

And that, dear friends, is all the time I have this week.  Until next time.

Cheers,

Impish Dragon

Leprechaun Laughs # 402 for Wednesday July 26th 2017

FAIR WARNING!: I’m tired, cranky, in pain, under caffeinated and hot.

We’re into the time of year where the triple digit temps live. They’ve arrived early and the humidity from all the recent rains is still hanging around as is the cloud cover. It reminds me of trying to live in a slow cooker.

It doesn’t cool off much at night (mid 80’s if we’re lucky) and as a result all the asshat ghetto monkeys are all outside drinking, making noise and leaving their garbage all over. They think nothing of blaring the radios in their cars at 11, 1 or 2 AM because they can’t sleep. The Sheriffs Department has more important priorities, like chasing carjackers for 2 hours up and down the roads around me replete with low flying helicopters and their sunspot spotlights lighting up everything only to lose the carjackers AND the car.

As a result I’m not in a particularly friendly or talkative mood so how about we skip the chit chat and just get to what you came here for shall we?

Mean time I’m going fishing to try and improve my mood.

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull from the stockyard in a far town so that they can breed their own stock.

They only have $600 left. Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, “When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I’ll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.”

The brunette arrives at the stockyard, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.

After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office and says, “I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I’ve bought a bull for our ranch.

I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.”

The telegraph operator explains that he’ll be glad to help her, then adds, “It’s just 99 cents a word.” Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word.

After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, “I want you to send her one word: comfortable.”

The operator shakes his head. “How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word ‘comfortable’?”

The brunette explains, “My sister’s blonde. The word’s big. She’ll read it very slowly … com-for-da-bull.”

So once again Molly and I are planning on attempting to move. We nearly did it back in 2014 I believe it was. Luckily we woke up and realized that not only were were lied to about several direct questions we had asked, but that the Property Management Company had recently changed the name of the complex twice in an attempt to hide it’s bad reputation for ignoring the tenants needs and requests.

Not only that but in the 2016 Memorial Day Flooding that occurred the building in the complex we were to have moved into was on the news showing the cars in the paring area completely submerged.

This time we’re looking in going in the opposite direct, since Molly’s work place has move location which will put us North and out of the City of Houston in a smaller town, where hopefully the crime rate will be significantly better.

One of the things we’ve been looking at and considering was the possibility of buying our own home. Molly was quite taken with the one in the lower photo, that is until I bought out the upper one.

Randy Newman – A Few Words in Defense of Our Country (Official Video)

 

Randy Newman performs the song “A Few Words in Defense of Our Country,” from his 2008 album Harps and Angels.
When the song was first released as a single in 2007, its lyrics published as an op-ed in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times called it a “three-decades-on bookend to Political Science … so funny it hurt,” and Rolling Stone named it #2 on its list of the year’s best singles.

A Few Words in Defense of Our Country

I’d like to say a few words
In defense of our country
Whose people aren’t bad nor are they mean
Now the leaders we have
While they’re the worst that we’ve had
Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen

Let’s turn history’s pages, shall we?

Take the Caesars for example
Why within the first few of them
They were sleeping with their sister
Stashing little boys in swimming pools
And burning down the City
And one of ‘em, one of ‘em
Appointed his own horse Consul of the Empire
That’s like vice president or something
That’s not a very good example, is it?
But wait, here’s one, the Spanish Inquisition
They put people in a terrible position
I don’t even like to think about it
Well, sometimes I like to think about it

Just a few words in defense of our country
Whose time at the top
Could be coming to an end
Now we don’t want their love
And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question
But in times like these
We sure could use a friend

Hitler. Stalin.
Men who need no introduction
King Leopold of Belgium. That’s right.
Everyone thinks he’s so great
Well he owned The Congo
He tore it up too
He took the diamonds, he took the gold
He took the silver
Know what he left them with?
Malaria

A President once said,
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
It’s patriotic in fact and color coded
And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Why, of being afraid
That’s what terror means, doesn’t it?
That’s what it used to mean

[To the first eight bars of “Columbia The Gem Of The Ocean”]

You know it pisses me off a little
That this Supreme Court is gonna outlive me
A couple of young Italian fellas and a brother on the Court now too
But I defy you, anywhere in the world
To find me two Italians as tight ass as the two Italians we got
And as for the brother
Well, Pluto’s not a planet anymore either

The end of an empire is messy at best
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We’re adrift in the land of the brave
And the home of the free

Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Yes Roundabout with Geddy Lee on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2017

Progressive rock band Yes are inductees at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 7, 2017, broadcast on HBO. The band’s co-founding frontman Jon Anderson reunited for a performance of Roundabout from 1971 Fragile with Rush bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, guitarist Trevor Rabin and drummer Alan White.

 

A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him. “Why do we have to learn this stuff?” the young man whined.

“To save lives,” the professor responded before continuing the lesson.

A few minutes later the student spoke up again. “So how does physics save lives?”

The professor stared at the student for a long moment. “Physics saves lives,” he said, “because it keeps the idiots out of medical school.”


The Cremated Husband

Martha recently lost her husband. She had him cremated and brought his ashes home. Picking up the urn that he was in, she poured him out on the patio table.

Then, while tracing her fingers in the ashes, she started talking to him…

“You know that dishwasher you promised me, but never bought me? I bought it with the insurance money!”

She paused for a minute tracing her fingers in the ashes then said, “Remember that car you promised me, but never bought me? Well, I also bought it with the insurance money!”

Again, she paused for a few minutes and while tracing her fingers in the ashes she said, “Remember that diamond ring you promised me, but never bought me? I bought that, too, with the insurance money!”

Finally, still tracing her fingers in the ashes, She said, “Remember that blow job I promised you?”

“Here it comes.”

13 Differences in Regional Food Names You’ll Argue About Forever

A soda by any other name will still taste just as sweet.

image

Pile cold cuts and cheese into a long Italian roll, and what do you get? In most of the country, you’ll order a submarine sandwich, or sub for short. But in Philadelphia, you’ll see it listed as a hoagie, while New Yorkers call it a hero, and farther north, New Englanders munch on grinders. Other regional names exist too: zeppelins or zeps in eastern Pennsylvania, spuckies (short for spucadella, an Italian roll) in Boston, blimpies in parts of New Jersey, Dagwoods in the upper Midwest, and a wedge in Westchester, New York.

image

Ask for mangos in a Midwestern supermarket, and you might think the grocer made a mistake by walking you over to green bell peppers. Why the confusion? The first mangoes (the tropical fruit) that came to America were pickled to keep them fresh, so colonists started calling any pickled food a mango. One of the most popular pickled foods was a stuffed green pepper. Kind of like how a pickled cucumber is just a pickle, a mangoed pepper just became a mango, and the name stuck around.

 

image

The name for those rainbow-colored candies could cause quite a fierce debate during a friendly ice cream outing. Most of the country calls them sprinkles, but around Boston and in some other areas of the Northeast, residents refer to them as jimmies.

imagePretty much everywhere in the country, you’ll order a smooth ice cream swirl as a cone of soft serve. But in Vermont, that dessert is called a creemee. Pulling in their famous syrup, a maple creemee is a classic treat for locals.

 

 

image

“I’ll take a small Coke.” “OK, what kind?” In the Southeast, you’ll hear people asking for a Coke, whether it’s Coca-Cola or a different fizzy drink. In the Northeast and Southwest, customers will order a soda, while in the upper West and Midwest, you’ll find people sipping on pop.

 

image

 

Order a milkshake in New England, and you might be disappointed when you get an ice cream-free treat, made just with blended frothed milk and syrup. To get the thick dessert drink you crave, you’ll have to order a frappe, or a cabinet if you’re in certain areas of Rhode Island.

 

image

Nothing says “comfort food” like a creamy pan of veggies, starch, and meat scooped out in a plate. But your family could have a different name depending on where you’re from. Most of the United States calls the entrée a casserole, but some upper Midwestern states call it a hotdish.

 

image

You might get confused looking for your favorite breakfast food on certain regional menus. Pancakes are known as hot cakes in some areas of the North, and you might see them named flapjacks in the West. Just add syrup and enjoy.

imageIn most places, a jam-filled fried cake has a literal name: a jelly doughnut. But in some Midwestern bakeries, you’ll see these treats marketed as a Bismarck. Now for another polarizing question: grape or strawberry jelly?

 

 

imageThough there isn’t a strong regional pattern to the name, Americans disagree on what to call the end pieces of bread. Some just call it the end, but most call it the heel. Talk to others, and you’ll hear it referred to as the crust or the butt. Despite all the arguing, we can all agree that they’re the two most rejected slices in the loaf.

 

image

 

When a friend says he’s serving macaroni, you might expect a pot full of elbow-shaped noodles. But if the chef is Italian American, don’t be surprised if you get a plate of spaghetti—some Italians call all pasta macaroni, regardless of shape.

 

image

 

That same friend might freak you out by talking about the gravy for that macaroni. But don’t worry, he isn’t giving you leftovers from last night’s turkey dinner—some Italian Americans call tomato sauce gravy. Other families call it ragu, without necessarily meaning the brand name

 

image

 

Hard candy on a stick is most commonly called a lollipop. In some areas of the South and Midwest, though, you’ll hear them referred to as suckers. But we think the only suckers are the people who would pick a lolly over chocolate for dessert.

 

Italian Secret to a Long Marriage

At St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Toronto, they have weekly husbands’ marriage seminars.

At the session last week, the priest asked Giuseppe, who said he was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Giuseppe replied to the assembled husbands, ‘Wella, I’va tried to treat her nicea, spenda da money on her, but besta of all is, I tooka her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!’

The priest responded, ‘Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?’

Giuseppe proudly replied, “I gonna go pick her up.”


A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital he was taken to. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clip board loaded with several forms, and a pen. She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

“Do you have health insurance?” she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, “No health insurance.”

The nun asked, “Do you have money in the bank?”

He replied, “No money in the bank.”

“Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?” asked the irritated nun.

He said, “I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun.”

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, “Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God.”

The patient replied, “Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law.

Randy Newman – Political Science (Let’s Drop the Big One Now)

New Word

I couldn’t find it in my old Webster’s dictionary so I Googled it and discovered it is a recently “coined” new word found on T-shirts on eBay: Read this one over slowly and absorb the facts that are within this definition! I love this word and believe that it will become a recognized English word. Finally, a word to describe our current political situation…

INEPTOCRACY

A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
