Here’s the deal guys.  It’s Friday night.  It’s already late and I’m just now getting started on today’s issue. 

Why? 

Because it has been a tough week for me.  As you can well imagine.  But, there are a couple of emails and comments I wish to address with you right up front. 

First, from Stephen B. who writes…

So….?  1 out 10 people enjoy the prep for their colonoscopy.  Was that you?  GRIN! Hope all went well.

Yes.  All went well.  As I mentioned in my last issue, I believe.  I am walking away with good news I believe.  I still have not heard back from my doctor, so I am assuming that she hasn’t heard anything more of a report than I read. 

And…

NO!  I am NOT the 1 out of 10 who enjoy the prep, the procedure, the follow up or anything that has to DO with any of this!  I was pretty sure I made that abundantly clear in my last episode.  But, I do you know you are only teasing, even if just the question alone will now give me nightmares for a week, sir!  LOL!

And I think I will address some of the rest of this further into the episode.  So, what do you say we go ahead and

My wonderful friend Stephanie, whom I love dearly, sent me this GREAT Facebook clip from a guy named Jeff Allen called How My Marriage Was Saved.  Hilarious and touching at the same time.  Of course, due to the limitations of the space, I couldn’t share it with you, but when I searched for it, I found where it came from.  It came from a bit of his stand-up called Bananas.  So, I gave you the whole clip from that.  So you get even more laughs…and his testimony…and some seriousness.  It’s about 19 minutes long and well worth the watch.  Thanks Steph.

Okay, so for those of you who sat there and watched that, was I right?  And for those of you who didn’t, well…. you ought to.

And this one is from Lynn…and it’s quite good.

And this next one is from one of my oldest brothers behind the microphone.  Jonathon J.  This is another classic that most of you youngsters probably never heard before.

Portraits of famous dragons in history:  My uncle Tom.  He played the part of Smaug in all the Hobbit movies.  Remember the scene with all the gold in the cave?  Yeah, they filmed that in his actual home.

That happens to me      ALL     THE     TIME!!!

Spiral Aurora over Icelandic Divide
Image Credit & Copyright: Juan Carlos Casado (Starry Earth, TWAN)

Explanation: Admire the beauty but fear the beast. The beauty is the aurora overhead, here taking the form of a great green spiral, seen between picturesque clouds with the bright Moon to the side and stars in the background. The beast is the wave of charged particles that creates the aurora but might, one day, impair civilization. In 1859, following notable auroras seen all across the globe, a pulse of charged particles from a coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with a solar flare impacted Earth’s magnetosphere so forcefully that it created the Carrington Event. This assault from the Sun compressed the Earth’s magnetic field so violently that it created high currents and sparks along telegraph wires, shocking many telegraph operators. Were a Carrington-class event to impact the Earth today, speculation holds that damage might occur to global power grids and electronics on a scale never yet experienced. The featured aurora was imaged in 2016 over Thingvallavatn Lake in Iceland, a lake that partly fills a fault that divides Earth’s large Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Is that not a cool picture?  That was sent in by Stephanie, also.

That’s not really the best advertising

Okay, here is yet ANOTHER one that Stephanie sent me from Facebook that I found on YouTube…
although it’s a little more vulgar on YouTube than it was on Facebook, but it’s still funny

Attack on Israel by the cowardly and evil Hamas

Date 7 / 10 / 2023

7 + 10 + 20 + 23 = 60 —– If you look at enough dates in history, you can make numbers do whatever you want them to do.  Boy, if they had only waited 8 days … Come on, people!

A customer moves away from a bank window, counts his change,  and then goes back and says to the cashier, “Hey, you gave me the wrong change!”

Cashier: “Sir, you stepped away from the counter. We don’t make corrections after you leave. There’s nothing I can do about it now. That’s the policy of this bank !”

Customer: “Well, okay. Just thought you’d like to know you gave me twenty dollars too much. Bye. “

And I wish things like THAT would happen more often.  Not that people got money they didn’t deserve, but that people who jumped to conclusions, or who tried to cover their own butts so they didn’t have to do a little extra work, got their comeuppance a little more often.

Yes we can…and do…and don’t understand what the big deal is.

Our Detroit office

A long time uncontrolled diabetic developed serious sores on one leg. 

He was seen by an orthopedic surgeon at the local university hospital and was informed that the leg was gangrenous and would have to be amputated as soon as possible. 

He was hospitalized and the next morning was taken to surgery where by mistake the wrong leg was amputated. 

After the anaesthesia wore off and he was fully awake, the doctor came into his room to inform him of the problem. He was then told he would have to have the other leg amputated. 

The next day he was taken back into surgery and the bad leg was removed.. 

The patient, quite upset over the gross mistake, as soon as he was discharged from the hospital contacted a personal injury attorney who he informed of the surgical error. 

The lawyer listened carefully to him and then advised him, “I’m sorry but there’s nothing we can do about the unnecessary amputation. No court in the world would listen to you.” 

“Why not?” asked the diabetic. 

“Because,” answered the lawyer, “you don’t have a leg to stand on.” 

The company where my brother worked had a phone system that rerouted after-hours calls. 

If any calls came in on a certain line while he was working late, Dave knew it would be a wrong number.

It got to the point where, as soon as the phone rang, Dave would pick up and say, “Psychic Hotline. I’m sorry, but you’ve dialed the wrong number.” 

The caller would often reply with something like, “But I didn’t even ask to speak to anyone yet. How did you know I dialed the wrong . . . 
OH!” (Click) 

At the retreat, Jane and Bob were told to individually write a sentence using the words ‘sex’ and ‘love.’

Jane wrote: ‘When two mature people are passionately and deeply in love with one another to a high degree and that they respect each other very much, just like Bob and I, it is spiritually and morally acceptable for them to engage in the act of physical sex with one another.’

And Bob wrote:  ‘I love sex.’

“Badgers?  We don’t need no stinkin’ Badgers!”

During my training as a medical-group receptionist, I was told never to recommend one of our doctors over another, but simply state who had available appointments. 

One day a woman came in and looked at me conspiratorially. “I’m a nurse,” she whispered, “and I know the staff always knows which doctors are good and which aren’t. Who do you think I should see?” 

Knowing my supervisor was listening close by, I tried to sound most professional. “Oh, I’m sorry,” I replied. “I can’t recommend any of our doctors.” 

“Well, you must know!” she said, heading for the door. 

You are not allowed to do anything!!!!

Going back to comments real quick.  From Evan, who we’ve spoken with before, 

Seeing my 13-year-old son perusing a website filled with photos of Britney Spears, I commented, “She certainly is pretty. Which picture do you like best?”
 
“I don’t know,” he mumbled, embarrassed by his newfound interest in girls.” I’m just reading about her.”
 
I came closer and peered at the screen. “Oh, really?” I said. “So when did you learn to read Spanish?

It surprises me not at all that it is put up by the Department of Homeland Security.

No kidding!  There’s a really good reason why, according to Revelations, America isn’t mentioned at all in the end times.

What a classic!  What do you mean, “What classic?”  Don’t make me get the YouTube out!!!

That never gets old!

I got a letter from Joe in NJ today…

I just received this from my broker. Do you hold any of the following stocks?

Dear Sir:

We have been informed that you hold shares in the following companies:

American Can Co

Interstate Water Co.

National Gas Co.

Northern Tissue Co.

Due to the uncertain market conditions, at this present time, we advise you to sit tight on your American Can, hold your Water, and let go of your Gas.

You may be interested to know that Northern Tissue touched a new bottom today, and millions were wiped clean.

Yours truly,

Ed and Ted went to the fair. They came across a small crowd gathered around a stall and went over to take a look. “What’s going on?” Ed asked one of the crowd.

“We’re watching to see if some idiot can ride that bronco machine,” he said nodding towards a fearsome looking machine. “Nobody has managed to stay on for the full three minutes yet, and there’s a prize of $100 for anybody who can.

“I can do that,” Ed said confidently.

“You can’t,” said Ted. “You’ll get yourself killed if you try and ride that thing.”

“Watch this,” said Ed and climbed aboard the bronco machine. The machine thrashed wildly, up and down, from side to side, around in circles but still a grim-faced Ed clung to its back. After two minutes the machine was bucking almost vertically and spinning until Ed was a blur. But when the three minutes were up Ed was still on the machine’s back acknowledging the cheers and cries from the small crowd.

He dismounted, collected his winnings and rejoined Ted.

“Where in hell did you learn to ride a bucking bronco like that?” Ted asked.

“Remember three months ago,” Ed said. “When your wife had whooping cough…?”

And smell numbers.

Before setting off on a business trip to London, I called the hotel where I’d be staying to see if they had a gym.
 
The hotel operator’s sigh had a tinge of exasperation in it.
 
We have over 300 guests at this facility,” she said.
 
“Does this ‘Gym’ have a last name?”

OUCH!!!!!!

“If you ever spent a Sunday with me instead of playing golf I swear I would drop dead,” she screamed.

“There’s no point in trying to bribe me,” replied the husband.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.” 

Dennis Wholey (1939-)

Before the crowd was dismissed from church Sunday, the preacher ask if anyone knew everything in the Bible. 

A cute little four-year-old swiftly remarked, ” I do… There’s a picture of my baby sister, one of my curls, and a Pizza Hut coupon!” 

Two cab drivers met. “Hey,” asked one, “Why did you paint one side of your cab red and the other side blue?”

“Well,” the other responded, “When I get into an accident, you should see how all the witnesses contradict each other.”

Yup, me too!

Two women were paired together as partners in a club tournament and met on the putting green for the first time. 

After introductions, the first golfer asked, “What’s your handicap?” 

“Oh, I’m a scratch golfer,” the other replied. 

“Really!” exclaimed the first woman, suitably impressed that she was paired up with her. 

“Yes, I write down all my good scores and scratch out the bad ones 

Working for a pediatrician calls for stifling a chuckle from time to time.

When a frantic mother phoned to tell us her baby had a high temperature of 102, we had to know whether she was taking the reading under the arm, in the mouth or elsewhere.

So we asked, “How are you taking it?”

Her reply, “Oh, I’m holding up pretty well!”

It was the wise custom at the retirement home to pair the old couples, and then send them out for dinner and a movie, or other entertainment. This one night, Michael who was 84, was paired with Sandra who was 86.

A few hours later, Sandra returned to the Home and was she angry!

“What happened that you should be so upset, Sandra?”, the attendant asked her.

“Coming back with that silly old man Michael, I had to slap him three times while we were riding back in the cab.”

“Oh that’s terrible…and at his age too. Michael ought to be ashamed of himself, making passes at you.”

“Passes???”, Sandra said, “he didn’t make passes. I had to slap him three times to see if he was asleep or dead.”

And with THAT cartoon, it’s time for me to go, too. 

I hope you had as much fun as I did.  And may God Bless you with Love and Happiness until we meet again.  And remember…

So, today is Sunday, and I’m prepping for the procedure tomorrow.  Even though you aren’t reading this until Thursday, you should still be feeling sorry for me today.  It was a very interesting day…as in, “May you live in interesting times.”

I received a comment on Saturday’s issue that I was going to reply to in the comment section but decided it was a good enough comment to share with the rest of you guys, so here it is:

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, “What are all those clocks for?”

St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.”

“Oh”, said the man. “Whose clock is that?”

DAUGHTER: I have to use the bathroom.

ME: *pulls into rest stop*

DAUGHTER: Thanks.

ME: Make sure you’re back in 5 minutes.

DAUGHTER: I will.

ME: We accidentally left your brother behind once.

DAUGHTER: I don’t have a brother.

ME: Exactly.

Telling a woman to calm down works about as well as baptizing a cat.

Sometimes when those lights go out, in those remote locations, it’s really difficult to get them relit.

After being married for 30 years, a wife asked her husband to describe her.  He looked at her for a while, then said, “You’re an alphabet wife…A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K.”

She asks, “What the heck does that mean?”

He said, “Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Fabulous, Gorgeous, and Hot.”

She smiled happily and said, “Oh, that’s so lovely, but what about I, J, K?”

He said, “I’m Just Kidding!”

Memorial Service will be held Tuesday afternoon.

My kids say the want a cat for Christmas.

Normally I do a turkey, but hey, if it’ll make ’em happy…

My wife got stung by a bee on the forehead.  She’s at the ER now, her face all swollen and bruised, she almost died! 

Luckily I was close enough to hit the bee with my shovel!

Our security team can get you in so many different ways…

I was winning an argument with the wife, but then she took her top off…

I was speechless.  It was a booby trap.

That is such an excellent cartoon!!!

The four types of fear:

1.  Terror

2.  Panic

3.  Username or password is incorrect

4.  “We’re out of coffee!”

Instead of a condom, I carry a moist towelette in my wallet.

The odds of me finding delicious chicken wings are far greater than my chances of getting laid.

So proud of our six year old son!  He’s come out as a pirate.  We’ve known since he was two months old.

Children’s Hospital agreed to pop out one of his eyes for his patch, slice off one of his hands for his hook, and saw off a leg for his pegging. 

His pronouns are P and irate.

We ARGHHHH so proud.

HIS CHOICE

I had a thought, but unfortunately I had a second thought.  They ricocheted off each other and now I can’t find either one anymore.

My bed is a magical place where I suddenly remember everything I forgot to do.

Stephen B sent me a video that really cranked my nerves!!!!  I found it on YouTube and this is the perfect place for it…right here in the middle of Politically Incorrect!

He sure is.

So, it’s now Tuesday.  A couple of things have happened since we last talked.  First of all, the one I’m sure you’re all wondering about, yes indeed, I had the barium enema yesterday, and overall I have to say, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

IT WAS A HUNDRED TIMES WORSE!!!!

Now I am so thankful that I’ve always been knocked out for a colonoscopy.  The problem with this is that they need your active cooperation. 

What do I mean by that?

Okay, you are on a table, they put a tube up your butt, the doctor said they blow up a balloon first.  Now, I don’t know if that was a euphemism or for real, but I do know that it made me holler “OUCH!!!” in a very loud voice that I had to apologize for afterward.  Then they pump in the barium solution, then some air, then more solution and air as needed. 

Now, the doctor is looking at your intestines with a fluoroscope. A fluoroscope basically is just an X-ray that takes pulse pictures so it’s almost like watching a movie of your insides.  Anyway, he can see where the dye is going and how it’s covering the insides of your intestines.  He wants all the insides of your intestines coated so he has to move you around so that happens.  So, while you have this painful tube shoved up inside of you, he has you roll around in a circle and when that doesn’t work, he starts moving the table up and down so you are either standing up on your feet or kind of standing on your head. 

Once he feels like you are all nice and coated on the insides, he’s all done and then the technicians take over and they start taking real X-rays.  Position you, run out of the room, hold your breath, beep, breath, run back in the room, reposition you, repeat.

Over and over and over again.

All with a painful tube shoved up your butt.

All with this horrible, excruciating, grinding, continuous need to poop pounding at your gut.

And although the doctor who just left was an older guy, about my age, all the technicians are women; three of them trainees I guess.  Because he was explaining things to them the whole time.  And then the X-ray tech who stayed to take all the films at the end…the thousands of films at the end…she was also young and female. 

I suppose it’s a good thing the military uninstalled my modesty many years ago. 

So yeah, 1 star, would not recommend.

We’ll discuss more stuff in a minute. 

Hi again. 

The other thing that happened yesterday was that Monday’s Dragon Laffs dropped and in that was my Dragon Rant about Hamas (which I found out recently is an acronym…I did not know that).  I got a couple of messages that I found interesting.  The first one from our dear friend in South Africa…

As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I print it on an allergy band placed on the patient’s wrists.

Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she said she couldn’t eat bananas.

Imagine my surprise when several hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses’ station demanding, “Who’s responsible for labeling my mother ‘bananas’?”

At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl.  Right away he began flattering her outrageously. 

The girl liked the young man, but she was taken aback by his fast and ardent pitch. 

She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.

“Look,” she said.  “We only met a half hour ago.  There is no way you could be so sure.  We don’t know a thing about each other.”

“You’re wrong,” the young man declared.  “For the past 5 years I’ve been working in the bank where your father has his accounts.

“Hello, you have reached an office that thought it was so smart getting all it’s employees cordless phones. 

The person you are trying to reach is here right now, staring at me as I answer this call and searching desperately for their cordless phone in the mess on their desk. 

It won’t matter if they find it since they didn’t leave it on the charger last night and the battery is dead. So you might as well leave a message with me and I’ll have them call you after the 4 hour handset recharge period is completed.” 

A computer programmer, bored with his job, decided to start his own business. Wanting to do something totally different from his current occupation, he bought a mating pair of rheas and a large tract of land.

His rhea farm was soon doing a booming business as there appeared to be a great demand for the birds.  Not being satisfied with just selling the birds, the rhea farmer started researching how the birds were being used. He found that all parts of the birds were being utilized, except the feathers. Nobody wanted the plainly colored rhea feathers.

The ex-programmer, now rhea farmer, purchased some equipment, technical people, and chemicals, and was soon selling fancy, colored rhea feathers. The resulting sales were amazing and made the new feather merchant very happy. There was one small problem.

The workers making the colored feathers were becoming quite ill.  The concerned young man called in a number of doctors to determine the nature of the illness.

It was discovered that without exception, the workers had developed a severe case of… “dye a rhea.”

Everyone in the hotel was talking about the wedding where the groom was 95 years old and the bride was only 23.

The groom looked pretty feeble, and some of the guests thought that the wedding night could kill the old man, because his bride was a healthy and vivacious young woman.

But the next morning, everyone was surprised to see the bride come down the main stairway slowly, step by step, and painfully bold-legged. She finally managed to hobble to the front desk.

The clerk looked very concerned, and he asked the bride, “What happened to you? You look like you just got done wrestling an alligator.”

“Oh my God,” said the bride. “He told me that he had been saving up for 75 years…

…I thought he meant his money!!”

Okay, for the record, I thought this next one was horribly misogynistic and sexist, but funny as heck, so I put it in here anyway and if it generates hate mail, then so be it.  If we can’t laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at.  I’m happy to entertain opposing view points.

I guess in certain places that could be a problem

Well, and I guess we’re running on a theme here…

Big Boobs vs. Little Boobs

Women with Big Boobs…

..can get a taxi on the worst days
..have men give them the best seats on a bus.
..have a neat place to carry spare change
..have always been the center of the arts (art)
..make jogging a spectator sport
..can keep a magazine dry while laying in the tub
..have more negotiating power (with men shorter than them)
..usually can find leftover popcorn after a movie
..can always carry a little extra cash ..always float better
..know where to look first for lost earrings
..rarely lack for a slow dance partner
..have a place to set their glasses when sitting in an armless recliner 
..never have to buy a car with airbags
..have a place to carry a extra beer

Women with Little Boobs…

..don’t cause a traffic accident every time they bend over in public 
..always look younger
..find that dribbled food makes it to the napkin on their lap
..can always see their toes and shoes
..can sleep on their stomachs
..have no trouble sliding behind the wheel of small cars
..know that people can read the entire message on their T-shirts
..know that everything more than a handful is wasted
..can come late to a theater and not disrupt an entire aisle
..can take aerobic class without running the risk of knocking themselves out 
..never be accused of having implants.

Okay, so I’ll go open up the complaint window.  The line forms to the left.

And that’s it my friends.  Until next time.  May God Bless you and keep you until we meet again.

I have been fuming over something and didn’t think I needed to say anything, but, surprisingly, I find that I need to.  Maybe not for or to you guys, (I truly and deeply hope and pray that I don’t need to direct this at any of you guys) but maybe for me. 

I know that you have all heard about the horrible attack by Hamas on Israel.  This is so terrible for many, many reasons.  Beheading innocent civilians including old people, women, and even at least one infant.  That is absolutely disgusting.  The taking of hostages, raping said hostages again, including children.  Taking one older woman’s phone, filming her awful murder and putting it on her own Facebook page.  And it goes on and on.  

Hamas over the years has taken the money that many generous people have donated to the lawful and wonderful Palestinian people that was supposed to go to improving their housing, water, electricity and they’ve dug extensive tunnels under the Palestinian homes and THEY have good housing and water and electricity.  And if the Palestinians decide, well I’ll just dig my own well and get my own water.  The Hamas leadership tell them they can’t.

Everybody blames Israel all the time saying they shut off the electricity and water when they are the ones who were trying to help them.

Even now, Hamas kills and rapes and tortures.  The Israelis find out where the Hamas are hiding, they tell the regular Palestinians who are living there that they are going to attack that building or that neighborhood and that they should leave BEFORE they attack.  How is that a way to run a military campaign?  What other military force in the WORLD would do that sort of thing.  And then Hamas FORCES the Palestinians to stay, because they cowardly hide behind women and children.

Okay, so that paints my general picture.  That’s not the part that has me so fired up.  The part that has me so worked up is the insanity going on around the world where there is anti-Israel protests going on!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!  These people are trying to live on a tiny patch of land that’s about the size of New Jersey!  It’s the only place in the world they can call home.  It’s the land promised them by God in the Bible.  They are being so far past good it’s not even funny.  And THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS?!?!  

You protesters are brain dead.  I’m not saying that Israel’s leadership are all angels.  They’re not.  But in this…you guys are so wrong.  So very, very wrong.  One side is warning you ahead of time where they are going to be attacking and that you should probably not be there and the other side is raping and beheading children!  I’m sorry, if you can’t see the difference than you are not a human being, you’re an animal. 

And that’s all I really have to say about that. 

And now I’m going to go and take a break and come back.

Okay, I need to get some work done on this issue or it won’t get published.  I have the stupid enema on Monday, while you guys are reading this, I’ll be in the hospital with a tube shoved up my butt getting radioactive dye … okay, never mind.  Suffice it to say I’ll not be having a pleasant day.  And I’m worried about it and I have my church praying for me and I won’t even be able to go to church on Sunday because I’m working this weekend.  Yeah, life is difficult right now.

And for those of you who are about to say that God doesn’t ever give you any more than you can handle, that is NOT what it says in the Bible and that is NOT the truth of the matter.  That has to do with temptation.  You will never be tempted with more than you can overcome and there will always be a way back to forgiveness if you do fall into the sin of temptation.  That’s where that comes from.  God often gives you more than you can handle, for His glorification.  And nope, not gonna get into that right now because that is a MUCH longer conversation, but with a little bit of effort you can track down all of those answers yourself in the Bible.  For us, we need to laugh!

An elderly lady hustled onto a crowded bus carrying a large picnic basket. She stood right in front of a man and grabbed the overhead rail such that the picnic basket went hanging over the man’s head. The man politely offered the seat but the sweet lady declined saying she was going to get off soon.

Suddenly the man felt something dropping on his head.  He tilted his head to find out, the liquid was leaking and dripping, which went in his nose and ran down across his lips. He got the taste of it, looked up at the lady and asked with a smile, “Pickles, ay?”

The old lady replied, “No, no, puppies, dear!”

A minister is visiting his grandchildren to celebrate Christmas.

When he walks into the house, he sees a beautiful nativity set.

His granddaughter walks up to him, and he asks her if she knows what it is. She replies, “Yes … it’s breakable.”

And that’s how Impish Dragon got sent to the principal’s office at least once.

They love me so much they even make sand art of me.

I understand Stephanie is quite the cook and not just in the fall.

I’m only kidding…and teasing her cause we’re friends…

She really can’t cook at all … no, no, no I mean, that’s not Stephanie!  Stop hitting me!!!

One of the best things about this time of year are those pumpkins.  Not a big candy corn fan, but those pumpkins…YUM!

And THIS stuff!!!!! 

I eat WAY too much of this!!

PICK-UP LINES FOR PIRATES

“I must be huntin’ treasure, ’cause I’m diggin’ yer chest.”

“Ya certainly put the shiver in me timber.”

“See this hook? Variable speed with five alternate attachments, Baby.”

“Nice poop deck on ya, lassie. Care fer a swabbin’?”

“Avast, me pretty! Strike your panties and prepare to be boarded.”

“I’ve hidden booty all over the Caribbean — but never have I seen one like yours!”

“That’s NOT my parrot talking, Sweetie!”

“That’s a lovely pair of 8-pounders you have there.”

“My peg-leg’s ribbed for your pleasure.”

“Why not climb my main mast and I’ll visit your crow’s nest.”

Those were bloody awful!!!!

A recent survey found that 85% of the guys who die while having sex are cheating on their spouse.

It’s not the sex that’s killing them.

It’s worrying about getting caught, they’re scared to death !

A married couple was on holiday in Pakistan. While shopping they passed a small sandal shop. From inside they heard a gentleman with a Pakistani accent say, “Come in! Come into my humble shop.” 

Once inside the shopkeeper said, “I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. Dey make you wild at sex.” 

Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after hearing what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn’t need them.  The husband asked the man, “How could sandals make you into a sex freak?” 

The Pakistani man replied, “Just try dem on, Sahib.” 

After much badgering from his wife, he agreed to try them on.  As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes – something his wife hadn’t seen in many years…  raw sexual power. 

With a blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Pakistani man, bent him violently over a table, and yanked down his pants. 

The Pakistani began screaming: 

“YOU HAVE DEM ON THE  WRONG FEET !!! YOU HAVE DEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!” 

“I think we took a wrong turn in Newark.”
“I think we’re IN Newark!”

The psychiatrist was interviewing a first-time patient. “You say you’re here,” he inquired, “because your family is worried about your taste in socks?”

“That’s correct,” muttered the patient. “I like wool socks.”

“But that’s perfectly normal,” replied the doctor. “Many people prefer wool socks to those made from cotton or acrylic. In fact, I myself like wool socks.”

“You DO?” exclaimed the man. “With oil and vinegar or just a squeeze of lemon?”

I…okay…wait…what?

John and Greg driving along the highway looking for a place to stop and picnic. John says, “Let’s stop here, and have our picnic under that tree.”

Greg says, “No! Let’s have it right here in the middle of the road.”

They fought for a bit, but finally agreed to have it in the middle of the road.

All of a sudden, a car comes speeding towards them and has to swerve into the tree to keep from hitting them.

John says, “You were right! If we were under that tree, we’d be dead now!”

Sandra’s car was unreliable and she called Michael for a ride every time it broke down. One day Michael got yet another one of those calls. 

“What happened this time?” he asked. 

“My brakes went out,” Sandra said. “Can you come to get me?” 

“Where are you?” Michael asked. 

“I’m in the drugstore,” Sandra responded. 

“And where’s the car?” Michael asked. 

Sandra replied, “It’s in here with me.” 

No kidding!!!  I need a new fence and I want them to come over and build one for me just like that one!

I really, really, REALLY want to know the backstory behind this sign.  Why was it necessary to post it?  Why?

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles.  The salesgirl notices him and asks him if she can help him find something.

He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife and she directs him down the correct aisle.

A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.

The salesgirl, obviously confused, says to the man, “Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?”

He answers, “You see, it’s like this.  Yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes and she came home with a tin of tobacco and rolling papers.  Because it is Sooooooo much cheaper.”

“So, I figure that if I have to roll my own, SO DOES SHE!”

Somehow I think this guy is going to be back and he’s going to be going to the tampon aisle AND the first-aid aisle.

I went out with my girlfriend and asked her, “Why is it every time I go out with you, I end up spending hundreds of dollars?”

“Because I’m a prostitute.”

A young couple went to the doctor for their annual physical exams.

Afterwards, the doctor called the young man into his office and told him that he had some good news and some bad news.

“The good news,” he explained, “is that your fiancée has an particular strain of gonorrhea that I have only heard of once before.” The guy paled.

“If that’s the good news, then what the hell is the bad news?”

“Well,” the doctor elaborated, “the bad news is that I heard about this nasty strain just last week from my dog’s vet.”

A young man, with a promising career ahead of him, decided to marry a respectable convent girl, untarnished with the sins of contemporary society. 

After the wedding service, the bridal couple had to drive through the more unsavory areas of the city on the way to the reception. 

“William, what are those women doing leaning against lampposts?”

“Oh, those are just tarts who hire their bodies out for sex at fifty dollars a time.” 

“Wow, fifty dollars!” exclaimed the bride, “the monks only used to give us an apple…” 

This next one was sent to me by our good buddy Joe, from NJ.  I remember this one.  It was a HUGE feather in the cap of every 462 (Weapons Mechanic, Load Toad, Bomb Loader, whatever you wanted to call us) out there.  That was our AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code) 462X0 or 462 for short.  Just like now, I am a 3E9.  Not sure what the Weapons Mechanics are now.  All the AFSCs have changed.  Anyway, like I said, I remember this…it was WAY COOL!

Paddy and Mick are in the pub talking about their sex lives. 

Paddy boasts, “The wife and me go at it like rabbits every night!”

“You lucky bum!” replies Mick.  “I only get it once a month, and I call it the Bruce Lee night.”

“Why in the world do you call it that?” asked Paddy

Mick replied, “Because it’s the only night, I enter the dragon!!”

My daughter asked, “I hope you’re going to shave off that stupid mustache before we go on holiday!  It’s embarrassing.”

I was stunned.  Bravest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say to the wife.

I hate when people are outside when I’m trying to parallel park.  I need some privacy.

A teacher asks her class, “Can anyone tell me the name of Robin Hood’s girlfriend?”

Little Paddy raises his hand and says, “Yes Miss, it’s Trudy Glen.”

“No Paddy, the answer is Maid Marion.”

“But Miss, what about the song?  ‘Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding Trudy Glen!'”

A man I sometimes chat to in the park when walking our dogs was telling me this morning about his new rescue chickens.  He pretty much made my day when he told me he’d called them Hen Solo, Jabba the Cluck, Obi-Hen Kenobi, and Princess Layer.

I might be going mad, but are the two e’s in bee actually silent?

Okay, here’s another one from Joe…and this one is just plain nuts.  

A good relationship should make you feel strong, productive, and able to take over the world.

…Oh wait.  That’s coffee.  Coffee does that.

Got up at 5 am, ran 4 miles, came back, made a vegetable smoothie for breakfast, did 2 loads of laundry, mopped and vacuumed floors, and that’s all I remember about my dream.

And with that complete and total ridiculous statement bouncing around inside my head, I’ll end this one right here.  Remember to keep me in your prayers while you are reading this and may our good Lord Bless you and keep you until we meet again. 

It’s Saturday morning and I have NO idea at this point, cause it’s currently Monday, what I will be doing.  That’s not normally like me.  I normally have everything planned out.  But this week has been so fluid, that I don’t know what’s going to happen.  So, all we have is today.  All the rest of it is in God’s hands.  And it’s all part of His plans. 

So, let’s move on to the laughter in our lives.  That is the fun part and the part that keeps the sun shining for us.

Here’s a great old joke sent in by Lynn.  I really like this joke because it joins so many different things together.  So, my dear camper friends, listen in and laugh along.

On a dark, moonless night, a captain notices a light in the distance, on a collision course with his ship.  He turns on his signal lamp and sends the following message, “Change your course 10 degrees west.”

The light signals back, “Change yours 10 degrees east.”

The captain gets a little annoyed.  He signals, “I’m a US Navy Captain.  You must change your course, sir.”

The lone light is growing closer.  And soon it signals back, “I’m a Seaman First Class.  You must change your course, sir.”

Now the captain is mad.  He signals, “I’m an aircraft carrier.  I’m not changing my course.”

The light signals back a final message, “I’m a lighthouse.  Your call.”

Lynn sent me a video of Lego mechanics going over the new rules for mechanics.  But it was in a format that I couldn’t use.  So I went to YouTube looking for it and couldn’t find it.  But what I did find was the original video (comedy satire) it was based on.  So, I will show you that instead.

When you get to feeling your own self importance, remember this picture…send in by our own Leah D.

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them. Ships sink because of the water that gets inside of them. Moral of the story, don’t let what is happening around you, get inside of you and weigh you down.

And this guy…he tied up a lot of friends of mine.  Well, not tied up really, as much as put in some other “zone”.  Well, let’s just say that he tasted worse than he looked.

Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and since they already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling West. 

It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. 

This, of course, is the origin of the statement, “He who has a Tates is lost.”

Adulting be like:

Paycheck:  $624.42
Bills:  $597.63

A lady failed the written driving test four times.  At the fifth attempt, she was determined to pass. 

But the test had the same question, “You are driving at 60 mph.  On your right is a wall, on your left is a cliff.  On the road you see an old man and a young man.  What will you hit?”

The woman walked up to to the examiner and said, “I’ve answered this question all four ways, wall, cliff, old man, and young man, yet I failed all four times.  How is this possible?  What am I supposed to hit??!?”

The examiner looked her right in the eye and replied, “The brakes!”

You guys are making me work.  You are sending me some really great stuff, but in formats that I can’t use, so I have to go out and find them in formats that I can use and it causing me way too much fun!  Let’s do this one from Leah D. first.

And now we’ll do this one from Stephanie.  The bad news is I have to give you the back story first because the video that I found doesn’t give you that.  The good news is that the video that I found gives you much more of the end story…so…

Here’s the back story.  Gainesville, Florida Police Officer Bobby White responded to a noise complaint.  The complaint was that there were kids being noisy while playing basketball in the street and the … um … “person” who would rather see them doing what?  playing video games?  smoking on the street corner?  robbing liquor stores? … who called it in thought that was a bad thing. 

When Officer White showed up, he obviously didn’t respond the way I’m sure the caller expected.  He played basketball with the kids for last little while of his shift, making good community connections, and even promised that he would be back after his shift to play a full pick-up game with them.

And that’s pretty much where the video picks up.  

And the video is right.  That’s a day those kids will never forget for the rest of their lives.  And maybe, just maybe it will make enough of a difference in their lives to actually make a difference in their lives.  But, who is the hero of the story?  Shaq?  For giving away $800 and a couple of hours of his “important” time, which I’m sure is worth much more than $800 an hour?  Nope.  Although what he did was truly a wonderful thing.  The real hero or heroes are Bobby White and the rest of those cops who handled that noise complaint the right way.  And built bridges instead of walls.  Who allowed  the kids to be kids.  Just like thousands of cops do every single day across this great country of ours.  Yes, I know, they’re not all like that, but the overwhelming majority of them are.  Most people don’t know it because it’s always the bad ones who get all the news coverage.  The squeaky wheel gets the grease.  Even right here in our little county in northern Indiana.  I gather there was an article somewhere about the “Worst Cop in the US” who came from Miami County Ohio.  OHIO!  Well, these rocket scientists around here started flinging mud about our cops with a link to the article, even though the headline of the article said Ohio.  Someone would point out that it was an article about Ohio and then another person would pipe right in with another derogatory comment quoting the article again.  Time after time after time after time.  And it’s like, “Hey!  Genius!  You can’t look right above what you just posted to see the last dozen people said the exact same thing and got shot down?  Not to mention that WE DON’T LIVE IN OHIO!  We don’t have anyone on our force by that name and we don’t even have lieutenants in our rank structure.  All of which have been mentioned time and time again, if you would just READ!!!”  But they don’t.  Because it’s easier and more fun to cast blame or shame or negativity, than to say what a good job someone is doing.  And the majority of the cops are doing a darn good job! 

Okay, I gotta get off this soapbox or I’ll be here all day.  And I’ve got stuff to do.

And here’s another good one sent in by Joe from NJ.

Confused about the meaning of Service?

I become confused when I hear the word Service used with these agencies:

• Internal Revenue Service

• US Postal Service

• Cable TV Service

• Civil Service

• Federal, State, City, & Public Service 

• Customer Service

This is NOT what I thought Service meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had bought a bull to Service his cows.

BAM ! … It all came into focus.

• Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

You are now as enlightened as I am.

Behold the warranty… the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

― Tom Waits (1949-)

A little girl became restless as the preacher’s sermon dragged on and on.  Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, “Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?”

I’ll have to ask my farmer buddies if it’s getting close to corn syrup season around here.

A thief who tried to nick a fur hat in the north-eastern Russian town of Vologda is recovering from his injuries. 

When the man put his hand to the hat, the coat’s collar bit and scratched him so badly that stitches were required. 

The hat’s owner explained to the police that he was wearing his Siamese cat as protection against the sub-zero temperatures.

Teacher asks the kids in spelling class to tell what their father does for a living, and spell it.  First kid says, “My daddy’s a baker. That’s b-a-k-e-r. He makes bread and lots of sweet goodies to eat.”

Second kid says, “My daddy’s a banker.  That’s b-a-n-k-e-r. He makes lots of money, buys us lots of toys.”

Next kid says, “My daddy’s an electrician. That’s e-l-a-k…uh, e-l-e-x…uh….”

Teacher interrupts, saying, “That’s okay, Rayford.  Think about it and we’ll come back to you.”  Turning to Little Johnny, she says, “You’re next, Johnny.”

Little Johnny says, “My daddy’s a bookie.  That’s b-o-o-k-i-e, and I’ll lay you odds ten to one Rayford don’t ever spell electrician.”

Here’s a whole bunch of different kinds of Taters

Some people never seem motivated to participate, but are just content to watch while others do the work.
They are called “Spec Taters”.

Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others do the work.
They are called “Comment Taters”.

Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don’t want to soil their own hands.
They are called “Dick Taters”.

Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or too cold, too sour or too sweet.
They are called “Agie Taters”.

There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help.
They are called “Hezzie Taters”.

Some people can put up a front and pretend to be someone they are not.
They are called “Emma Taters”.

Then there are those who love others and do what they say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever they are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring real sunshine into the lives of others.
They are called “Sweet Taters”.

What’s the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?

Bad Golfer:  “Whack!”  “Crap!”

Bad Skydiver:  “Crap!!”  “Whack!!”

A man walked by a table in a hotel and noticed three men and a dog playing cards.

The dog was playing with extraordinary performance.

“This is a very smart dog,” the man commented.

“Not so smart,” said one of the players. “Every time he gets a good hand he wags his tail.”

Okay, I know it’s a gif and it’s on a loop, but it still cracks me up!

A recent study found that 35% of men have been injured while undoing a woman’s bra.

That’s correct. While unfastening a woman’s stabilizing devise, men have received strained tendons, scratches, and other similar injuries.

Actually, I can vouch for that.

I got injured today while trying to undo a woman’s bra.

When I undid the woman in front of me in the checkout line, she turned and hit me with a can of peas.

A college dean was berating a veteran economics professor for  having used the same tests for the past 35 years. 

“Don’t you realize, professor, that the students have been sharing these tests for decades and that all of your students know EXACTLY what’s on the test before they sit for it?” 

“Doesn’t matter,” replied the professor. “You must realize that with a subject like economics the answers are different each year!” 

ROFLMAO!  So very, very true!

You just knew, the way things were going, I had to throw my two-copper pieces in at least one more time before this one was over, didn’t you?  I guess my lead in the other day…um…Monday, struck a couple of nerves, which is a good thing.  The one on the Christian website and Columbus / Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  You remember…  Well, I’ve gotten several comments about this and I’m going to share them and talk a bit…if that’s okay with you guys.

And if it’s not okay with you guys, I’m going to do it anyway. 

It’s Thursday!  (Well, actually, it’s Saturday, but work with me here) … ahem … It’s Thursday!  And what a week it’s been!  Monday was a holiday, Tuesday was the start of the Nuclear Leadership Course and Pepper Dragon had a doctor visit in the afternoon and darts of course that evening.

Wednesday was supposed to be day two of the NLC, but I didn’t go because Izzy had her special doctor’s visit for her Social Security determination, then it was the Jail Ministry that evening. 

And Thursday, today is the third and last day of the Nuc class, which I should be able to drop back into. 

This weekend is the UTA and I have classes to teach and it’s going to conclude with a wonderful Barium Enema on Monday!!  Yes, you read that right.  On Sunday, while I’m teaching class, I’m supposed to be prepping for this hose being shoved up my butt!  How am I going to work THIS out? 

Okay, so back to reality and it’s Saturday, a week before any of this is going to start and now that I’m thinking about all this stuff, it’s going to be tough to work out.  I’m probably going to have to get someone to cover the class I’m supposed to teach on Sunday. 

Yeah, it’s going to be an interesting week…and we’ve had THAT discussion before.

I know I’ve probably run that one before…but it’s just so true, I had to run it again.

I know I’m becoming a better person because I’ve been holding back some absolutely ruthless crap I could say to people.

Self checkout should include an employee discount.

I now present to you, the cheesiest joke every printed…I would love to take credit for it…but can’t.  So, prepare yourselves…

Where do Bad Rainbows go?

Prism
It’s a light sentence, and gives them time to reflect.

Told ya!

This is a wand of dragon droning.  It turns dragons into a drone.  Suffice it to say, we don’t like it very much.

It’s almost that time of year when other women look cute in their flannel shirts, and I look like I’ve misplaced my axe.

My brother works at a watch factory.

He stands around making faces.

You come from dust and you will return to dust.
That’s why I don’t dust.
It could be someone I know.

“Listen, I need you to take this message to the elves…if they don’t get out of that tree and bring me some cookies, they are going to sorely regret it.  You make that abundantly clear.  Do you understand?”

Okay, well I submit to you that she IS busy.  I’m busy when I’m reading.

Me:  Do you think he called himself T.S. Eliot so nobody would notice that T. Eliot is toilet backwards? 

Librarian:  Stop talking

I’m just impressed by how ugly I’m willing to look in public these days.

Some angry guy with road rage just yelled out his window at me, “I’m gonna make your life a living hell!”

I yelled back, “Thanks, but I’m not looking for a relationship right now.”

As promised, here’s more of these very funny memes…

Holy Cow!  Boy did I get sucked down a rabbit hole!  Okay, see the left side of the above picture?  I was sent something very similar to that by … someone. 

Some how I accidently deleted it and couldn’t find it in my deleted files, so, thinking it was interesting, I did a search for it on line and found the one that you see above.  And I thought, well, if it’s not true, then what IS true? 

An hour later and I’m writing this to you guys. 

Yup, I spent an hour looking at the history of Hush Puppies. 

And I’m a skoosh more intelligent and a LOT more hungry!  I really like Hush Puppies. 

Suffice it to say that they were NOT named by escaping slaves when they used them to throw to the hounds that were tracking them.  But, how there WERE named is kind of under discussion even still and … well … not very interesting. 

Frankly, I liked the slave story better. 

And there’s an hour I’ll never get back.

After 6 weeks, $140 in supplies, and daily watering, I’m only 5 to 6 weeks away from enjoying a $1.25 vegetable from my own garden.

I once lived just a stone’s throw away from a family who all died of mysterious head injuries.

No doubt!

I laughed so hard over this.  Grandpa Pickles reminds me SO much of … well … ME!

What about for arms and legs.

I just ate what I thought was a feta cheese crumble from my salad off the front of my shirt.  Turns out it was deodorant…

So how’s your day going?

Heaven has a wall, a gate, and a strict immigration policy.

Hell has open borders.

Let that sink in.

Only in America can you murder your child at birth but go to jail if you spank them. 

Liberalism is a mental disorder!

I just realized a lot of people don’t like to hold hands in public, especially if they don’t know you.

Stephanie sent us that picture…and an explanation  for that picture.

MyCn 18: The Engraved Hourglass Planetary Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: NASA, ESA, Hubble, HLA; Processing & Copyright: Harshwardhan Pathak

Explanation: Do you see the hourglass shape — or does it see you? If you can picture it, the rings of MyCn 18 trace the outline of an hourglass — although one with an unusual eye in its center. Either way, the sands of time are running out for the central star of this hourglass-shaped planetary nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a Sun-like star’s life occurs as its outer layers are ejected – its core becoming a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one featured here. Pictured, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the hourglass. The unprecedented sharpness of the Hubble images has revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process that are helping to resolve the outstanding mysteries of the complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulas like MyCn 18.

Many people reject Jesus because of bad experiences with religious people.

But, here’s the thing… Jesus had bad experiences with religious people, too.

In fact, they killed him.

People will let you down.

Jesus won’t.

Sometimes understanding what a woman wants is very difficult.  It’s like trying to figure out what color, the letter seven, smells like. 

When I die everyone must sleep at the graveyard, y’all can’t leave me alone the first night with people I don’t know!!

I’m not saying I’m old, I’m just saying my dinner time and my bedtime are getting dangerously close to each other.

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by how dogs react to him.  For example, if the police K9 is biting him, he may not be ideal.

I always regret making a good first impression because there is no way I can keep that stuff up.

Important to remember:  When someone tries to trigger you by insulting you or by doing or saying something that irritates you, take a deep breath and switch off your ego.  

Remember:  If you are easily offended, you are easily manipulated.

Currently working on a diary full of lies.  I want my loved ones to read it after I die and be like, “wait, what!?”

That’s it my friends.  Until Saturday when we meet again.  May you be Blessed with Love and Happiness.
