Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael, Northern Exposure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back during the days of the Soviet Union, it took 10 years to get a car after you paid for one.
Once, a young guy went to the car dealership to order a car. He paid the money, and the asked when can he come and get the car.
"It will be here, waiting for you, exactly 10 years from today".
The man signed the papers, started waliking away and then stooped, turned and asked the salesman: "Wait, will it be ready at the morning or at the afternnon".
"What difference does it make?", asked the salesman.
"Well", answered the man, "the plumber is coming in the morning".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, "I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back."

The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan's offer. One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?", asks the Irishman.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses drinking them all back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement.

The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, "If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"

The Irishman replies, "Oh...I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Scotsman, carrying a huge suitcase, has been riding a London bus for five miles along its route, all the while attempting to avoid the ticket collector. Finally, the conductor manages to corner him and tells him to pay up: "You've been on for five miles--that'll be 50p, please, and 10p for your suitcase."

The Scotsman responds: "I ha'not, I want a ha'penny fare, just got on this vera moment."

They begin to argue, and the ticket collector becomes more and more enraged and finally, as the bus is passing over London bridge, he grabs the Scotsman's suitcase, and hurls it out of the bus.

It lands in the river and sinks without a trace.

The Scotsman stands shocked for a moment and says to the ticket collector, "Not only are ya trin' to overcharge me for the ticket -- but now you're gone 'n drowned me boy Jonny."

A new monk at a monastery took a vow of silence. He was allowed to speak only once a year, and then he could only say TWO words.

At the end of the 1st year he went to the head monk, and said, "Bed Hard".

At the end of the 2nd year he went to the head monk, and said, "Room Cold".

At the end of the 3rd year he went to the head monk, and said, "I Quit".

The head monk replied, "It doesn't surprise me, all you've done since you got here is complain."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an accountant. "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all!) When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed accountant.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "ticket, please."

Good morning everyboomie. welcome

Holy Hanna it's getting hot here! shocked

We're not at 113+ like Andrea, but we're starting a string of 100 degree+ days today. smirk

Well, a string of 2 hundred degrees + days. razz

I start a string of 1-5:00am starts. lol

Early to bed, and early to rise makes a man frumpy, grumpy, and a wise guy. snicker

That's not exactly true.

I've never been very wise. duh

Frumpy and grumpy, yes. Wise, no. sherlock

A smart Alec...........yes.

Have a happy day everyone.

Off to run the dogs at the river before I run out of steam. I felt better when I woke up and feeling a downward slide.

My youngest went to the Hawks parade this morning, not sure if Peter went since he lives near there right now. Go Hawks! hearts

Hope you all are enjoying your day!

Fantastic Friday ya'll puppy

Well, what a busy morning! My right leg was not feeling up to snuff, so chickened out on our walk this morning to let it rest. Got up around 8:30 and as I walked into the kitchen the phone rang. I didn't recognize the number but answered it anyway. A voice immediately launched into a convoluted tale. I interrupted to ask who they were calling as I get wrong numbers from time to time, and the voice was not ringing any bells for me. However, this one was not. Turned out to be a Bible Study friend who I hadn't seen in several months, and my brain wasn't "up" yet. rotfl

She stopped in for a visit. We had a nice chat. As soon as she left, the phone started ringing. I finally got off the phone and now it's time to say "hi."

After a bit of surfing, I'm bopping out to get a couple of dinner ingredients so I can get all the prep work done before I get too tired. Hubby will do a major shop on his way home. If he gets off too late, he and I can do it tomorrow as we have an errand or two to run and we'll be in town anyway.

Joe, 100+ is not fun! Hydrate hydrate hydrate.

MaG, I watched a Cesar rerun yesterday. He was working with a Frenchie and I thought of you wave

Midgy are you feeling better? What are you doing on the 4th?

Darlene, happy skooshing!

Ana, did you guys have fun at the river?

Haroula, what's up for the weekend?

Hi ya Cooper, we talk about everything but games in here. You'll in a lot of recommendations in either the The Darkside for everything but adventure games, The Adventure Forum for adventure games, or the Casual forum.

Gerry, has summer found you yet?

Connie, have fun shopping!

Gail, sorry your plans had to change. What's the forecast?

WooHoo Sorta, go get em wave

Off to get groceries before I can't. Back in a bit wave

We arrived safely in Italy, thanks to Nan's angels kissy (for Nan), the weather here is not better than in Switzerland and a cold wind is blowing. Didn't they say it's summer now headscratch??

Ana: I hope you are feeling better in no time! HUGS.

To all of you on this side and over the pond: have a happy day and a relaxing evening and a good night's sleep.

Afternoon all; temps rising and supposed to be in the 100's by the weekend. 90 out right now, but managed to get the yard mowed. Still have a small section outside the fence but thinks I'll drinks iced tea for now.

Have a great and safe start to the weekend.

L4L, I saw that Caesar Millan Dog Whisperer episode too. Why didn't you think of me? LOL JK!
Have to take my oldest cat (17) to the vet shortly. He's not doing well. His name is Koko and he really was upset by the puppy bothering him. Worried about him. He's stopped eating and is just sleeping. Not good.
Plus it'll be about 118F today.

Hello Boomers! I have been lurking again. At least I made time for that... It is 78* here on the Coast and that is a record for this year thus far. Really nice outside with no wind but a trifle stuffy in the house even with ceiling fan going. Not complaining!!
Is it Spring/Summer there yet, Nan?
Hi Evelyne, glad you had a safe trip to Italy. We have a young man renting from us right now that completed his Masters in Culinary Arts in Italy. He is now an apprentice cheese maker for the summer as we have a world class creamery here.
What's official, L4L???
Hi MaG, always nice to hear from you!
Sorry about your plans, Gail. Hope you can game instead??
Ana, I do hope you are feeling much bettah!! Midgie, hope your work day is sort and easy!! Hope you are having a great day spending money, seeing people and running around, Sorta!
Hi Haroula, is it very warm where you are?
Welcome copper!!
Gerry and Connie, I hope you are each having a great day!!
Darlene and 3dobermans, be careful in that heat and stay hydrated.
Hi Space Quest, hope your weekend stretches! Poor Joe, hope your day can end soonest!! At least the working part!
I'll say a prayer for Koko, Andrea. We have a kitty that is 16 and young Finnegan tortures her at times. So not fair to the elder ones. Well, off I go to game for awhile. have a wonderful weekend everyone and Happy Gaming!! wave

Trippy, that sounds like a plan. wave

Andrea, sorry I should have thought of you. blush I'm sorry Koko is not doing well. You can teach Remy to stay far away from Koko if you think his not eating is related to stress. What did the vet say? 118...even without humidity that is miserable.


The weekend, Lotus...it's officially here. wink

Off to make some bean dip to go with our Ginger Orange Carrot soup for dinner. puppy

Well saw the vet for Koko. He got fluids and a pill to increase his appetite. Dr wanted to do blood tests, but was just too exp., so we'll see what happens. He's always been the healthy one.
