What do you mean, you have to work?
Ohhhhhhhhhhh…….

Holistic  Medicine

Achmed the Arab came to America from the  Middle East , and he was only here a few months when he became very ill.  He went to doctor after doctor, but none of them could help  him.
Finally, he went to an Arabic doctor who said: ‘Take  dees bucket, go into de odder room, poop in de bucket, pee on de poop,  and den put your head down over de bucket and breathe in de fumes for  ten minutes.’
Ahkmed took the bucket, went into the other  room, pooped in the bucket, peed on the poop, bent over and breathed in  the fumes for ten minutes.
Coming back to the doctor he said,  ‘It worked. I feel terrific! What was wrong with me?’ 
The doctor  said …. ‘You were  homesick’.

When Lethal Leprechaun was but a wee Leprechaun of a hundred or so years, he had a favorite dog that went missing.  He was inconsolable.  Finally, Molly, his wife says to him, “Why don’t you put an advert in the paper, Lethal?”
He does, but two weeks later the poor dog is still missing.  “Why did you put in the paper? Mrs. Leprechaun asks.
”Here boy,” replies Lethal

Little Red Riding Hood got to her grandmother’s house and didn’t recognize the wolf in grandma’s clothing, but she knew something was different. “Why, Grandmother, what big eyes you have,” said Little Red.

“They appear larger because I had an eyelid tuck at a marvelous plastic surgeon on Rodeo Drive,”
said the wolf in grandma’s clothing.

And Little Red believed him because it made perfect sense.

“Why, Grandmother, what big ears you have,” said Little Red.

“They appear larger because I had my hair done by this marvelous new stylist on Fifth Avenue and he gave me an uplift style to match my new breast implants,” said the wolf in grandma’s clothing.

And Little Red believed him because it made perfect sense.

“Why, Grandmother, what big teeth you have,” said Little Red.

“They’re new implants,” said the wolf in grandma’s clothing, “and they serve me well when I’m eating the snacks at the bar during happy hour.”

And Little Red went running out of the house crying, “Wolf! wolf! wolf!” because she knew that grandma was always in the restaurant eating the early-bird special at four o’clock like any retiree,
but the bars at happy hour are always full of wolves. (Cynthia MacGregor)

One of my all time favorites!  I LOVE this joke!

A woman went to her doctor’s office where she was seen by a young new doctor. After about four minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out screaming and ran down the hallway. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was. She told him her story.
After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor and demanded: “What’s the matter with you? Mrs. Smith is 59 years old, has four grown children, seven grandchildren and you told her she was pregnant?!?!”
The new doctor continued writing on his clipboard and without looking  up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?”

When I was younger, and on “shore leave” from Navy boot camp, I went down to Tijuana for the day. Walking down Calle Revolución, a sexy señorita called down from a balcony, “Hey, Meester! You come up here, I geeve you something you never had before!”

I replied, “What’s that? Cancer?”

A young couple recently decided to start off their life of marital bliss by getting hitched at Wal-Mart. This is the comedy-world equivalent of a hanging curveball.

The Top 5 Things Overheard at a Wal-Mart Wedding

5. “If that creepy yellow smiley face comes by one more time, I
     swear I’m going over to sporting goods to buy some ammo.”

4. “I’m sorry, miss, but shoplifting an iPod does not qualify
     as your ‘something borrowed.'”

3. “Great — we finally get the entire wedding party crammed
     into the photo machine, and Bubba runs out of quarters!”

2. “Pre-nup in aisle seven!”

and The Number 1 Thing Overheard at a Wal-Mart Wedding…

1. “Jewish tradition or not, buddy, you broke that glass and
     you’re gonna pay for it.”

After a spate of shark attacks in Australia, the Week asked its readers to create that country’s next tourism slogan. Here’s what they came up with:
–  “What happens off the coast of Australia, stays off the coast of Australia.”
–  “We’ll throw another limb on the Barbie.”
–  “Australia: Disarmingly beautiful.”
–  “Our visitors: The other white meat.”
–  “Not quite heaven, but you can get there from here.”

There is much truth in the things we joke about.  Funny things are sometimes funny because they are so close to the truth and we all laugh together because we can see the closeness to real life in the jokes:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”.

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”.  The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been recategorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance”..

The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.   

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards”.  They don’t have any other levels.  This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”.  The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender”.  The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing”.  Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides”.   

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs”.  They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose”.   

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual;  the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.    

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.   

Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out preemptive strikes on all of their allies “just in case”.   

Canada doesn’t have any alert levels.   

New Zealand has raised its security levels – from “baaa” to “BAAAA”.  Due to continuing defense cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is “I hope Australia will come and rescue us”.   

Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be right, mate”. Three more escalation levels remain: “Crikey!”, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and “The barbie is cancelled”.  So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Israel did not report any changes in it’s security levels.  “Ho-hum” was their response.

Today’s Last Word comes as a personal recommendation from me.  I’ve found that Kara Thorpe Daughter of Deceptionpeople who are friends (aren’t we all friends?) or people who are of the same mindset (don’t we think alike?  okay, so don’t answer that one!) or people who laugh at the same things, tend to have the same likes and dislikes when it comes to their entertainment choices, such as books and movies.  So, when I say that I have a book (actually two … the first two books of a trilogy) that I would like to recommend to you, my camper friends, I’m doing so because I think, since I found them to be fantastic reads, you might too!
So, another cool thing is that these books are from a brand new writer!  This is great! Kara Thorpe The Chaos Child To be one of the first people to discover a great, new writer is cool!  It’s like discovering a new artist and buying some of their paintings before they become famous!  This writer is so new, that she is printing her stuff herself, on Amazon.com, which means that you can only get her books electronically.  I know, this is sad, but most all of us can read electronic books in one format or another and if you search around you can find them.  I have a Kindle Application on my phone that I use for most of my books and at amazon.com, both of these books are on sale, right now for 99¢ each!  You can’t beat that for a great read!
Now, what are they about?  Kara Thorpe does a GREAT job in these fantasy/romance/demon/ …. heck, I don’t know what category they fall into.  LOL.  Here’s what the amazon web site has to say about the book:

Daddy’s little girl.
That’s what clairvoyant Viola Ashwood has been her entire life. She wouldn’t mind quite so much if her father hadn’t been possessed by a powerful, and nasty, demon nearly a decade earlier. After recovering from a horribly tragic confrontation with Daddy Dearest, Viola wants nothing more than to get back in to the federally-funded but privately run demon-hunting Network. Duke, her brother’s ex-best friend and the guy she’s crushed on since she was six, stands in her way. As Network regional head, Duke’s got plenty of reasons for keeping Viola out of his region, and that’s before he considers the fact that her father’s on the Network’s most wanted list
Just when Duke grudgingly allows Viola into the Network, Daddy Dearest, still possessed and more obsessed with Viola than ever, reappears. While trying to stay one step ahead of the demon, Viola struggles to overcome fears about her surprise demonic heritage while learning to control her new abilities. Especially the one that has her raising zombie squirrels in the middle of the afternoon. Together, Duke and Viola deal with dangerous demons, centuries of family secrets, and a mysterious link that may bind them together for life.

Yeah, zombie squirrels….and that ain’t the half of it!  Read the first one…..then, read the second one, and then, do like I do and harass the author to finish the third one so we can ALL see how it turns out! 
This one gets 5 thumbs up!

Just a note here.  Last night I saw on the news how Southern California got hit with snow—they had 100 mile backup on the freeway!  Then they showed clips of people just spinning in circles.  It was hilarious!  They interviewed one guy and he says, “I ain’t never seen snow except for in the movies!”  Lighweights!! hehehe  (Bet people from Minnesota were laughing their asses off at them!)

THE WOODEN LEG

A man and his wife, moved back home to West Virginia,
from Ohio. The husband had a wooden leg, and to
insure it back in Ohio cost them $2000 per year!
 
When they arrived in West Virginia, they went to an insurance agency
 
to see how much it would cost to insure his wooden leg.
 
The agent looked it up on the computer and said: ‘$39.’
 
The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in
West Virginia
to insure it because it cost him $2000 in Ohio!
 
The insurance agent turned his computer screen
to the couple and said,
“Well, here it is on the screen, it says: Any wooden structure,
with a sprinkler system above it, is $39… You just
have to know how to describe it!”

A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town’s most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

“Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give back to the community in some way?”

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, “First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?”

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, “Um … no.”

The lawyer interrupts, “or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?”

The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.

“or that my sister’s husband died in a traffic accident,” the lawyer’s voice rising in indignation, “leaving her penniless with three children?!”

The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, “I had no idea…”

On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, “So if I don’t give any money to them, why should I give any to you?”

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
‘Oh my, I am so sorry,’ the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
‘Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you,’ she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterward they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible! ‘You know,’ he said, ‘you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?’
‘No,’ she replies …

Amazing Find

From National Geographic via Powerline

 

The discovery of an amazingly large cave in Vietnam is big news. National Geographic has an interesting article, linked, accompanied by a number of spectacular photographs. The cave, Hang Son Doong, is located in a remote jungle. Still, it is hard to understand how it could have gone undiscovered for so long. Vietnamese caves have a long history, but this one could comfortably house a skyscraper.

Our three children like to spin in our home office chairs.   One of the chairs makes this annoying popping noise whenever they are spinning in it that is not conducive to productive thought processes.  We have told the children time and time again NOT to spin in the chair.
       Either they forget or it is an act of defiance, but they continue to spin in the chair from time to time, leading us to believe that this is an act of swivel disobedience.

True Tales of the Life of Impish Dragon Chapter 6

‘Tis the Leprechaun here folks~

Believe it or nae, himself the Dragon asked me if t’was soon to be another chapter in the sordid tales of his life! Not wanting to disappoint him or stress him out I promised I would post it immediately!

Driving Impish Dragon and his wife to the airport, we passed a billboard showing a bikini-clad beauty holding a can of beer. Impish’s wife glanced up at it and announced, “I suppose if I drank a six-pack of that brand, I’d look like her.”

“No,” Impish corrected. “If I drank a twelve pack, you’d look like her.”

We were forced to divert to a level 1 trauma hospital to seek immediate care for Impish’s injuries.

========

Impish once confided in me (from a hospital trauma ward bed) his newly acquired secret to a good marriage: “No matter how many promises you make to be completely honest with each other, never respond to your wife’s ‘What are thinking about?’ question with an answer that involves football, beer or especially her sister’s breasts.”

==========

Impish keep telling his kid they can’t go to Disney World because it’s too expensive and too far away.
It really isn’t, but  that’s his story he’s sticking to it, at least until Daisy Duck lifts the restraining order!

========

Mrs Dragon told Impish he was no longer romantic, so he booked a table for the two of them on Valentine’s night.

The problem was she sucks at snooker & eight-ball.

Now he sucks his dinner thru a straw cause his jaw is wired shut after they removed the cue ball from his mouth!

=======

Impish goes to the doctor with hearing problems.
The doctor asked, “Can you describe the symptoms to me?”

“Yes. Homer is a fat yellow lazy bastard  and Marge is a skinny broad with big blue hair.”

========

The Red Cross  knocked at Impish Dragon’s door and asked if he could help towards the floods in Pakistan.

Impish  said “I’d would love to, but my garden  hose only reaches to the driveway. “

========

Impish Dragon finds out that his bookkeeper, Brenda, has cheated him out of $10,000,000.

His bookkeeper is stacked, beautiful and smart but totally deaf. That was the reason she got the job in the first place.  It was assumed that Brenda would hear nothing so she would never have be able to testify in court.

When the Impish goes to confront Brenda about his missing $10 million, he takes along Lethal Leprechaun his lawyer who knows sign language ( and how to hide a body). Impish tells the Lethal, “Ask her where my money is.”

The Leprechaun, using sign language, asks Brenda, “where’s the money?”

Brenda signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

The Lethal tells the Dragon, “She says she doesn’t know what you are talking about”.

Impish pulls out a pistol, puts it to Brenda’s temple, cocks the hammer back and says, “Ask her freakin’ again!”

The Leprechaun signs to Brenda, “He’ll kill you if you don’t tell him.”

Brenda signs back, OK” You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin Bruno’s house.”

Impish impatiently asks Lethal, “What did she say?”

The Leprechaun replies, “She says she’s seen you naked and you don’t have the balls to pull that trigger.”

Last Word for Friday 01/14/2011 on the aftermath of the tragic events in Arizona.

 

Several people have asked if the events in the Dragon’s and my life recently were going to cause us not to comment on the tragic events in Arizona or their aftermath. In truth it has been on my “To-do list” for a couple of days. However when I am forced to reprioritize (its amazing but having dependable heat in the middle of a cold snap has been an automatic #1 every time) it kept getting shoved pretty far down the list.

Finally with a reasonably and dependably warm Leprechaun’s Lair once again and a big pot of soup started, I sat down to organize all my thoughts which I kept noting down on my phone into a coherent format. Then I received this from a friend and realized a picture and a quote was all that was needed to put this entire thing in perspective:

So there is your picture and here is your quote:

“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the law-breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” – Ronald Reagan
Has it been a horrible tragedy? Inarguably.  Preventable? Certainly, the family the college and the police knew this guy was a  mentally unstable whack job over a year ago but he was not forced to receive medical help by his family or authorities, even after being expelled from College.
Is this justification for the hysterical knee jerk reactions of Government and media?     Not from any view-point I can see.
Is this justification for more laws constraining our behavior and rights?

OH HELLS NO!

Finally as a closing thought, I do so miss Ronald Regan and his common sense approach. Would that we could find another leader like him with his values.

Irish Introspections for Friday 1/14

Today since there has yet to be a Dragon Laffs Issue we’ll do a Two-fer-One special on Introspections. First the Part 5 installement of our Weirdest Stories of 2010 10 part feature.

The woman who achieved the record of world’s fattest at 700 pounds

Terri Smith, 49, a 700-pound woman is pinned in her sleeping room, incapable to move, stand or roll across by herself – adjusting the fresh world record as the Fattest woman. She suffers severe headaches and needs an MRI scan to check out for a potential brain tumor, unfortunately she is also too big to fit in a scanner or to pass through the doors of a hospital.

Terry has never been a delicate female child. At the age of 7, she weighed almost 70 kilograms. The woman explains that her family was poor which did not allow for her parents to bargain healthy foods. At the age of twenty, Terry weighed about 120 kilograms. Terri wedded husband Myron, whom she looks up to as her guardian spirit, in 1986. At the age of 32 she built up severe arthritis in her knees and was incapable to walking more than a couple of steps at one time. Smith was lastly given an electric wheelchair to get around in. The lack of physical exercise and not having modified her eating caused her weight balloon to the point wherever she could barely stand. Then about three years ago a change in her medicine caused her to gain 91 pounds in 30 days. Those pounds forced her to the bed ridden state she has been in ever since. (Link)

OK now both Impish and I are not little guys and freely acknowledge we carry more than just a few extra pounds of padding so we really DO NOT have room to throw stones.

However this IS supposed to be a humorous introspection and I AM supposed to have a wry comment after each post so here goes….

DAMN! She’s not sitting ’round the house…the house be barely sitting ’round her!
