Judge to the accused: “You have been accused of imprisoning, threatening, intimidating and treating your wife as your slave. Is it true?”

Our young son made up his mind one day that he needed to eat healthier breakfasts, so he chose oatmeal as his cereal of choice.
But after eating his first bowl, he told his mother, "I hope I develop a taste for this stuff. It goes down real rough."
"Well," his mother asked, "Just how long did you cook it?"
"Are you supposed to cook it?" he asked.

George rushed to the hotel manager’s cabin and shouted, “Help me, my wife is trying to jump from the fifth floor.”
The Manager replies: “It is your personal problem, sir. What can I do in this matter?”
George bursts out, “Right, but the window is jammed!"

While leaving her father’s house immediately after marriage, Tina was crying herself hoarse. Her father too could not control himself and was weeping loudly. Finally somebody separated them and led Tina to the groom’s car.
On an impulse Tina turned around, ran to her father and gave him something from her purse.
Immediately her father’s face brightened and there was a smile on his face.
Later Tina’s mother asked him: “What did she give you to make you so happy?”
Father: “My ATM card.”

A squad car driver was covering a quiet beat out in the sticks when he was amazed to find a former lieutenant on the police force covering the beat.
He stopped the car and asked, "Why, John, this wouldn't be your new beat out here in the sticks, would it?"
"That it is," John replied grimly, "ever since I arrested the judge on his way to the masquerade ball."
"You mean you pinched his honor?" asked Pat.
"How was I to know that his convict suit was only a costume?" demanded John.
"Well," mused Pat, "In this life there's always a lesson somewhere."
"That there is," replied John.
"It is wise never to book a judge by his cover."
"ouch!"

Good morning everyboomie.
One 3:30 wake-up down, one to go.
I guess I asked for a reminder of how old I am, or more specifically, how old my joints are.
All of the exercising I've been doing for the last 10 months, the improved diet, and all that seem to make no difference at all.
I had a cheeseburger today though, and it was really good!
Just the same though, after work today I came home and took the dogs to the park, came back and ate dinner, and then exercised for an hour.
I still have some deluded romantic notion that I can attain a 'woman killing hunk' status before I kill myself from exhaustion.
Have a happy day everyone.
