No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather.
Michael Pritchard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A man walks into a hamburger shop and orders a regular meal. Later, the waitress brings his meal to him. He takes a bite out of it, and notices there's a small hair in the hamburger. He begins yelling frantically at the waitress, "Waitress, there's a hair in my hamburger! I demand to see what is going on!"

So, the waitress takes him back where the cook is and to his demise, he sees the cook take the meat patty and flatten it under his arm pit. He says, "That's disgusting!"

Then the waitress says, "You think that's disgusting you should see him make donuts."

One day, Satan was out for a walk through Hell, making sure things were running smoothly. When he got to the Lake of Fire, he saw a man sitting by the lake, relaxing in a lawn chair, and not sweating or looking uncomfortable at all. Perplexed, Satan approached the man and asked:

"Young man, are you not hot or bothered by this heat?" The man replied, "Oh no, not at all. I lived in downtown Toronto and this weather is just like a typical July day in the city." Satan thought that this was not a good sign, so he rushed back to his office and turned up the heat in Hell another 100 degrees. Satisfied with himself, he again returned to the Lake of Fire to check on the young man.

When he got there, the man was showing a few beads of sweat, but that was all. Again Satan asked the Torontonian, "Are you hot and uncomfortable yet?" The young man looked up and said, "No, the temperature is just like a hot August day in Toronto. I'm coping it just fine."

Satan decided that he had to do something drastic to make this man's stay in Hell unpleasant. He went back to his office, turned the heat all the way down, and then turned up the air conditioning. The temperature in Hell quickly dropped well below zero. As he approached the Lake of Fire, he noticed that it was now frozen over. He also saw the Torontonian jumping up and down wildly, waving his arms and yelling into the air.

"This looks promising!" thought Satan. Coming closer, he finally made out what the man was shouting: "The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup! The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup!"

An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back forty, had it fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc. The pond was fixed for swimming when it was built. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond, I only came to feed my alligators." Old age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill every time!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For years Dr. Benson had left his office and gone to Teddy's Bar, where Teddy would fix him a daiquiri laced with crushed pecans. One day, however, Teddy ran out of pecans; instead he substituted hickory nuts. Dr. Benson sat down and took a sip under Teddy's watchful eyes; he frowned. "Say, Teddy, this isn't an almond daiquiri. Just what is it?" "I can't lie to ya," Teddy said. "It's hickory daiquiri, Doc."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A woman woke up one morning to find a ferocious-looking gorilla in a tree on her African plantation. She quickly phoned the local game warden, who arrived minutes later. In one hand he held a shotgun, and in the other the leash of a fierce Doberman pinscher. As they walked to the tree, the warden explained, "What's going to happen is that I go up the tree, throw the gorilla out, and the dog clamps his teeth on the gorilla's balls." The woman nodded and was surprised when he handed her the gun. "You know how to use this?" he asked. "I do," she said, "but what's it for?" The warden replied, "Well ..... sometimes the gorillas are pretty tough and throw me out of the tree. If that happens, I want you to do one thing." "Shoot the gorilla?" "No," he answered, "the dog."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An accountant dies and goes to heaven. He reaches the pearly gates and is amazed to see a happy crowd all waving banners and chanting his name. After a few minutes St. Peter comes running across and says, "I'm sorry I wasn't here to greet you personally. God is looking forward to meeting such a remarkable man as yourself."

The accountant is perplexed. "I've tried to lead a good life, but I am overwhelmed by your welcome," he tells St. Peter. "It's the least we can do for someone as special as you are.
Imagine, living to the age of 160 and still looking so young," says St. Peter. The man looks even more dumbfounded and replies, "160? I don't know what you mean. I'm only 40."

St. Peter replies, "But that can't be right - we've seen your time sheets!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home." "Why not?" asked somebody from the audience. "I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'" "Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked. "Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


It's been one very long day. 3:30 this morning was a long long, very long time ago. tired


Work was non-stop brutal. While helping one customer, every other customer I passed asked for my help. This was in addition to the phone ringing, and being paged all at the same time. shocked


THEN.....it got busy. eek


It must be nice to have holidays off. razz


Actually holidays don't mean much to me, but days off sure do. wink


I will insist that my next employer offer me twice as many days off, and two times as many vacation days. thumbsup


headscratch


Have a happy day everyone.

Good (late) morning, everyone. wave I'm just going to say a quick hello for now, as Thorsgoats and I are going to play The Longest Journey for a while before he has to run off to work. He's working late hours today, so we have to get our Dreamfall Chapters preparation in early. grin

Hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday, and I'll probably be back once Thorsgoats leaves for work. grin

We all survived the 4th fireworks! Was touch and go. Despite the neighbor across the street being gone, several others decided to do their 'own show'. We had rockets going off 3 houses to the right, rockets 2 houses to the left, and some rockets but worse yet, gunshots across the street. With the gunshots, Orange kitty (who lives mostly over there somewhere under old stored cars, came shooting across the street, ran to the side of the house, then back across the porch (where my friend and I were watching fireworks) and disappeared. I looked for him later, but I think he dove under the house and was not about to come out.

The 'Compound' was the worst of the fireworks. The started out slow with shooting rockets across the road, then graduated to full blown displays of huge stuff IN the road, right in the traffic lane! Cars had to stop and wait till the rain of fire stopped, to get by. That was fun.

No fires started although one of the rockets hit the ground (shot low and straight) into the Empty House of the old guy who died. It looked like they were actually aiming for the broken window. Would have lit the entire place on fire if it hadn't fallen short by about a foot. Geez! Just a gaping entire lower area of a casement window, left open to the elements for months now. No one has bothered to board it up, even the 'squatter' gal.

OH and we think the reason for all the police 2 days ago 'staking out' something right around there was that our FIRST water bill for that house would have been mailed. Squatter restarted the water service, and we are pretty sure now that she didn't put it in her name. Probably just reststarted in the old guy's name and the bill went directly to the Neice back East. She probably called the cops when she got the bill and they thought maybe someone was in there again. 4 cars stayed around the area for at least 1/2 hour that we saw. We have been watching the mailbox there to see if any mail goes in. Nothing, nada.

Off to scour my back lot for fireworks. Might find some unexploded stuff back there. Happy day after the 4th to all.

About 3 PM yesterday there were 2 feeble firecrackers and the sound came from across the street. Houses are all at least 1/2 mile apart. Then maybe 7 PM more serious fireworks northeast of me and they lasted only an hour. I was playing wolfenstein and my 4 cats (the sissys) all huddled in my room. But all accounted for later. As far as I know there was no city fireworks display as Lexington is on austere spending. Yesterdday was the quietest 4th ever.

Where's Penelope?

Nothing much going on today. Thanks for gaming -although I could be repairing house and yardwork.

Happy Saturday all

Oh forgot Penelope. She wandered in sometime early this morning, seems find, didn't act weird after all the noises last night and ate up the rest of the grapes in her dish. She is now taking a dirt bath under the pepper tree where the dirt is powder soft. She fluffs it all over her, up around her wings and back and then stands on my deck and shakes it all out. Nice of her. So later I get to go out and sweep all the powder fine dirt back in the hole so she can do this all again. What fun.

Our 'real' fireworks started at 9 pm. We just sit on the front porch and have a great show. We have a private golf course 2 streets over who do a private show every year. It was really good this time. Great view since a lot of big trees got cut down when they put in the sidewalks. Clear across and neat to watch. No driving in traffic, potty nearby, all nice and loads of fun. We have the best view of everyone. Others don't have a raised porch, or are blocked by trees. I'm so happy for our 'private' show.
