It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas ranger decided to track him down.

After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit's head, and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your brains out!"

But the bandit didn't speak English, and the Ranger didn't speak Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina.

"What did he say?" asked the Ranger.

The lawyer answered, "He said 'Get lost, Gringo. You wouldn't dare shoot me.'"

An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency. An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor.

"So, what is it?" grumbled the governor.

"Judge Garber has just died" said the attorney, "and I want to take his place."

Replied the governor "Well, its OK with me if its OK with the undertaker."

Q: You're stranded in a deserted island with Attila the Hun, Adolf Hitler, and a lawyer. You have a revolver with two bullets. What do you do?

It was so cold last winter that I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his dismay, there were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. To his surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate and came down the long line to where the lawyer was, and greeted him warmly. Then St. Peter and one of his assistants took the lawyer by the hands and guided him up to the front of the line, and into a comfortable chair by his desk. The lawyer said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me so special?"

St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours for which you billed your clients, and by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!"

A Dublin lawyer died in poverty and many barristers of the city subscribed to a fund for his funeral. The Lord Chief Justice of Orbury was asked to donate a shilling.
"Only a shilling?" said the Justice, "Only a shilling to bury an attorney? Here's a guinea; go and bury 20 of them."

"You seem to have more than the average share of intelligence for a man of your background," sneered the lawyer at a witness on the stand.

"If I wasn't under oath, I'd return the compliment," replied the witness.

A lawyer named Strange was shopping for a tombstone. After he had made his selection, the stonecutter asked him what inscription he would like on it. "Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the lawyer. "Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stonecutter. "In this state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave. However, I could put ``here lies an honest lawyer" "But that won't let people know who it is" protested the lawyer. "Certainly will," retorted the stonecutter. "people will read it and exclaim, "That's Strange!"

Good morning everyboomie.

I'm late. I'm late, for a very important date.

Bed time.

I've gotta get up at 4:30, and I've GOT TO get to bed asap.

Today is Friday for me. YaHoo!

I hope you all have a happy day and I will too.

See you after 3:00.

joe

Tag! First to say hi

Hi to all fellow gameboomers Hope everyone has a great Thursday

Good morning Joe, soot and manxman and all to follow.

It's going to be a day of working today and a quick chiropractor visit. The dogs will have to be patient another day.

Have a happy day!

Ana

Sorry you have to get up so early, Joe. Does that mean you get off early? Enjoy your Friday!

Hi, soot.

Hi, manxman. Hope you have a great Thursday as well.

Hope your project is going well, and you have a good chiropractor visit, Ana.

It's late Wednesday night for me. Tonight is my Friday, Thursday is my Saturday, and then Friday is my . . . other Friday, which makes Saturday my other Saturday. Or maybe Sunday. It's all very confusing.

I think Thursday will be a relaxing and gaming day, since I have a busy Saturday. My mom is coming over, and she, fiance and I are all going to Costco and out to eat.

So tomorrow's hard decision will just consist of figuring out which game to play.

As for now, I'm off to bed. Hope everyone has a terrific day.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Sorry about the early rise! Hope your day goes easy peasy!

Hey, Soot! Have a great Thursday!

Hi, manxman! Hope your day is a great day!

Hey, Ana! Maybe you can find some time for yourself today, eh?

Howdy, venus! Enjoy your gaming day!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies! It's Thoughtfullysittingherethinkingit'stimetofindmypillowandgetmyselfreadyforanew Thursday's!

So.

To all abed, Too all awake,

Good Morning Everyone. It is still Wednesday night on the West Coast. I never posted the night before so.... It has been raining nonstop for almost twenty hours again! Water was collecting all over the lawns at dark thirty. Ana, it was funny you mentioned your "poor" dogs in that fashion as I was speaking of ours in the same manner this evening. I told them how each and every bone in their bodies protruded as they looked so miserable while we enjoyed our lemon pie. Pitiful , really, lol!
Hubby has more PT tomorrow. Going to ask if it is normal for him to be crippled and his leg to swell up....feel so sorry for him. Time to game for just a bit and then.... . Night All or rather Have a great day and Happy Gaming.

Good morning Joe,Soot,Manxman,Ana,Venus,

Good morning everyone. Lotus, prayers for your hubby are on their way . Not sure what is on the agenda for the day yet. To all here and all who follow, have a Wonderful Thursday. Danish, Fruit cups, and Banana nut pancakes in the NC.

Thumpin' Good Thursday ya'll

It's gonna be in the 80's today so I have to get the doggies out a bit earlier than is normal for me. Once hubby gets back from Australia (he has to go first) if not before, we will start our way-too-early-I-must-love-my-dogs-alot morning dog walks again. Love walking with hubby...hate having to do it so early in the day. Am I conflicted or what.

Son is off to pick up the boys, hubby is at work, and I'm enjoying the last seconds of quiet.

I finished 11-22-63 yesterday. Anyone here read it?

I started Across the Nightingale Floor on middle son's recommendation. So far, it is gripping. It's my book to listen to while walking and I like the way it's been recorded. There are 2 main characters...1 male, 1 female and so far at least, the chapters have alternated. There are 2 readers, 1 male and 1 female. This is the first audiobook I've experienced like this and I approve!

Back later

'Morning, again, sweet 'Boomies!

It's raining here...

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!
