Dragon Laffs #133

Good morning my fellow campers, The First cup of coffeecave dwellers and denizens of the fantasy world that surrounds us all…  Welcome to Tuesday!

Tuesday’s are a lot like getting licked in the face by the family dog…you don’t really like it and it’s probably not good for you either.

Tuesday doesn’t really have much going for it, other than there is another issue of your favorite on-line magazine (e-zine) Dragon Laffs!  (Yes Stevie, that’s where the term e-zine comes from.)

So, without further ado, let’s laugh!

What an intriguing, James Bond, 007 type mystery that has crippled Iran’s nuclear weapons program.  Stuxnet is an incredibly advanced, undetectable computer worm that took years to construct and was designed to jump from computer to computer until it found the specific, protected control system that it aimed to destroy: Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.  An amazing story, well written by Fox News.

Moishe took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park. He sat down on a bench and began eating.
A little while later a blind man came and sat down next to him. Feeling neighborly, Moishe passed a sheet of matzo to the blind man. The blind man handled the matzo for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, “Who wrote this shit?”

Rabbi Goldberg stood before the Recording Angel, who was scrutinising his page in the Golden Book.
“Fantastic!” exclaimed the Angel. “Rabbi Goldberg, can it be? Your record shows nothing but mitzvahs! Tell me, in your whole life, didn’t you commit one sin?”
“Mr Angel,” replied the Rabbi, “I tried to live like a G-d fearing Jew.”
“But in a whole lifetime, not one – single – sin?”
“No, I’m s-sorry.”
“Well I can’t let you into heaven, Rabbi Goldberg! You already are an angel. I am going to have to send you back to earth for 24 hours and if you want to get into heaven, you’ll appear back here with at least one sin on your record. Goodbye.”
Poor Rabbi Goldberg was scooped back to earth. He wandered about, desolate, seeking to stray from virtue, not knowing how. The hours passed and the Rabbi grew uneasy.
Only 12 hours now remained. “Oh, G-d, blessed be your name, help me. Help me to sin. Just once!”
And then a woman signalled to him from a doorway. His prayers had been answered. How swiftly Rabbi Goldberg responded. The voluptuous woman led him to her room  …. and to her bed.
Hours later, the Rabbi awoke. “What time is it?”
“Half past six.”
The Rabbi smiled. “At seven o’clock, someone is picking me up.”
He started to dress, chuckling.
But the chuckles froze when, from her bed, he heard the woman sigh, “I’m over 40 year’s old and I was a virgin – Oh, mister, what a mitzvah you performed last night!”

Here is the First America Jet, the Bell P-59 Airacomet and a video complete with Big Band music of the day, showing it’s first flight!  There is much information not known by many! The Germans may or may not have been the first to have jet aircraft, but when you watch this video you’ll see why the Americans were the best innovators in getting the job done. This is truly a “keeper!”

I certainly enjoyed it, and I think you will too!

A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing (ready) to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, ‘Please don’t jump, think of your dear mother and father.’

He replied, ‘Mom and Dad are both dead; I’m going to jump.’
She said, ‘Well, think of your wife and children.’
He replied, ‘I’m not married and I don’t have any kids.’
She said, ‘Well, think of Robert E. Lee.’
He replied, ”Who’s Robert E. Lee?”
She replied, ”Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee.’

10 Step Guide For The Do-It-Yourself Handyman

1. If you can’t find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the tip, it’s an improved screwdriver.
2. Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.
3. Above all, if what you’ve done is stupid, but it works, then it isn’t stupid.
4. Work in the kitchen whenever you can…many fine tools are there, its warm and dry, and you are close to the refrigerator.
5. If it’s electronic, get a new one…or consult a twelve year old.
6. Stay simple minded: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see if the tank is empty; try turning the switch or just paint over it.
7. Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while taking it apart and it suddenly starts working, you have healed it.
8. Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, and throwing sometimes DOES help.
9. If something looks level, it is level.
(And my own brand new personal motto) 10. If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success

Good Morning Campers!  We hit a new high on Saturday…757 hits!  That’s an incredible number!  Thank you all for your continued support.  Now, go out and tell all your friends, your family, your acquaintances, people you meet on the street, … whisper in their ears, “dragonlaffs.com” … shout out loud, “DRAGONLAFFS DOT COM” … print up business cards, rent space on a billboard, email that simple message to everyone in your address book!

Think about what would happen if everyone in the world started their day out with a laugh?  Laughter, which is in very short supply in our world right now, has the ability to bring enemies together as friends, take politicians off the podiums, and think how good YOU will feel by having shared something so wonderful, so world changing with your friends!

Now, get out there and laugh!  That’s an order!

Many years ago in India, a stick and a stone were of some small service to a Hindu holy man in a small village. Out of gratitude he offered to transform them into any object they desired. The solid stone wanted to be a strongbox or safe to hold the holy man’s sacred relics.
 
The vain stick indicated it wanted to become a Hindu woman’s beautiful gown or sari. It thus came to pass: the stone became a strongbox and the stick became a sari.
 
The night of the transformation, a terrible fire ravaged the village, burning down every house. The holy man’s hut was destroyed and along with it the beautiful sari. The safe was the only thing that survived.
 
This just proves again:
It’s better to be safe than sari!

A man absolutely hated his wife’s cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park.  As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway.
The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home.  Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat!
He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.
Hours later the man calls home to his wife: “Jen, is the cat there?”
“Yes”, the wife answers, “Why do you ask?”
Frustrated, the man answered, “Put that critter on the phone. I’m lost and need directions!!!”

Abandoned Prisons…. Thanks to Frederick for this one:

No one likes prisons or would ever want to go there, but there are some of them around the world so scary that only the name sends shivers down your spine. Many of them were closed after a series of awful events, murders, riots, and are now abandoned.

People have always been attracted by mystery and especially life after death. When strange things begin to happen and you do not find any logical explanation, you start to wonder about spirits or ghosts. There is a whole industry developed on this theory, from TV shows to books. It is said that a human being marks his territory by giving a personal touch to the place he is living in or to the things that he does. But when something terrible happens in a place, like many prisons, they become really scary and a lot of legends and stories appear about those abandoned and so call haunted prisons. There are a lot of movies about those places, and many of them are considered a perfect place for a great scary movie or some kind of reality based movie.

One of these places is Moundsville West Virginia Penitentiary.

1

1a

This is a gothic style prison that was opened in 1876 and was closed in 1995. This prison housed a large number of inmates, both males and females, and it was built to house the most dangerous criminals at the time. Most of the inmates housed in those 129 years while it was opened died there. Some of them died from natural causes but most of them from violence, suicides or executions. The prison had a so called “death house” where inmates were executed, by hangings at the beginning and by an electric chair later. It is considered one of the scariest places because of the murders, tortures and violence that took place there and it is said that it is not unusual to hear footsteps or frightening noises, screams and cries inside the penitentiary.

Another scary prison is the Ohio State Reformatory, also known as Mansfield Reformatory.

1b

1c

It opened in September 1896 when 150 offenders were housed. Until December 31, 1990, when its doors were shut down, it housed over 155,000 men. It was designed as a combination of three architectural styles: Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Ann and was established as a place where young boys would be reformed in a spiritual way. Sadly, there were other things happening there, violence, sadness, torture, despair, death, so the stories have appeared. Many visitors said that they heard strange noises, conversations, screams, smelled unusual scents or saw apparitions.

The third scary prison is the Frontier Prison from Rawlings, Wyoming.

1d

1e

It also goes by the name “Old Pen”, and it was opened around 1900’s. The prison closed its doors in the early 1980’s and now it is a famous tourist attraction. Many visitors said that there are some places inside the facility that are very emotionally intense. It feels like a very hostile environment and they feel an immense fear. Also, there seem to have been a lot of paranormal activity, such as voices, sounds or apparitions in different places like showers, the Chapel, some cells or the death row.

Another scary prison is the Eastern State Penitentiary.

1f

1g

It is located in Philadelphia and was functional from 1829 until 1971. This prison has housed crime committers and the inmates were not allowed to talk, sing, read or communicate at all or they were punished, not being allowed to have any food or water. Many horrible tortures happened there and it is now believed that the souls of the tortured ones still roam the prison. A lot of screams, cries, or appearances were reported and this negative energy transmitted by this prison makes it one of the scariest.

The most famous abandoned prison is Alcatraz from San Francisco.

1h

1i

This prison, also known as “The Rock” or “Devil’s Island” operated for 29 years and was built on an island in such manner that made escaping impossible. The inmates have endured some inhumane conditions, many of them going insane because of the lack of contact with the outside world or the harsh treatment applied by the prison officials. It is now mentioned in many films or legends because of its unique, scary design and location.

I believe that serious consideration should be given to this scientific discovery and a commission of scientists specializing in this area or genre should be gathered, and special funding or a huge grant should be assigned to the board for study purposes.  Since I am a highly trained and world wide recognized Subject Matter Expert, I would be happy to lead this board, with this large funding, in this area of investigation…

Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny, although measurable distance from the earth every year.
If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance about 35 feet from the earth’s surface.
This would explain the death of the dinosaurs – the tallest ones, anyway.

I would like to invite Lethal Leprechaun and several other of you experts to join me on this scientific panel…I’m sorry…there’s a question in the back…

for those of you who couldn’t hear, the question was, “What field of expertise are you looking for.”  I would think it’s obvious.  The first would be in the field of Bovis Scatology.  While a second in Continuously Reciprocating Absurdity and Pastiche would be extraordinarily helpful.  Are there any other questions?

No, I didn’t think so.

I was unable to verify the veracity of the letter or the author and I did even see one reply that said this was improperly attributed to this Marine….now, having said that…it’s still a GREAT essay and the thoughts and opinions behind it are valid, no matter who wrote it.

“The Gun Is Civilization”
      Interesting take and one you don’t hear much. . . . . .
      As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago , IL Gun Ban,
I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine),  that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.
      Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter….
          “The Gun Is Civilization” by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
      Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force.
      If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.
      Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
      In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion.
      Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
      When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force.
      You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
      The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
      There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations.
      These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job.
       That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed.
        People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
        Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury.
        This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
         People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst.
         The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
          The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter.
          It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.
          When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone.
          The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.
           It removes force from the equation… and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
            By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)
