Tuesday's Special - 10/09/12 12:48 AM

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining.

Father William, the old priest, made it a practice to visit the parish school one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names. Father William jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.

One lad raised his hand and said, 'Yes sir, but in those days there were only 13 states.'

Top 10 Reasons to go to work without clothes

You’ve always wanted to do it, now here are the top 10 reasons to go to work without clothes!

10. No one ever steals your chair.

9. Gives “bad hair day” a whole new meaning.

8. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.

7. People stop stealing your pens after they’ve seen where you keep them.

6. So that -with a little help from Muzak- you can add “Exotic Dancer” to your exaggerated resume.

5. You want to see if it’s like the dream.

4. To stop those creepy guys in Marketing from looking down your blouse.

3. “I’d love to chip in, but I left my wallet in my pants.”

2. Can take advantage of computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.

…and (drum roll, please) the number one reason to Go To Work without clothes:

1. Your boss is always yelling, “I wanna see your behind in here by 8:00.

Nicholas took his four-year-old son, Bryan, to several baseball games where "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung before the start of each game.

Later, Nicholas and Bryan attended St Bartholomew's church on the Sunday before Independence Day. The congregation sang The Star-Spangled Banner, and after everyone sat down, Bryan suddenly yelled out at the top of his voice, 'Play ball.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Fourth of July weekend was approaching, and Miss Pelham, the nursery school teacher, took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism. 'We live in a great country,' she announced. 'One of the things we should be happy is that, in this country, we are all free.'

Trevor, who was a little boy in her class, came walking up to her from the back of the room. He stood with his hands on his hips and said loudly, 'I'm not free. I'm four.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once, in the 1830's, a little boy was playing in the yard behind his house. During his pretend fighting game, he knocked over the outhouse. Now he was upset and worried that he would get into trouble so he ran into the woods and didn't come out until after got dark. When he arrived back home, his pappy was waiting for him. He asked suspiciously, "Son, did you knock over the outhouse this afternoon?"

"No, pappy," the boy lied.

"Well, let me tell you a story," said the father. "Once, not that long ago, Mr Lincoln received a shiny new axe from his father. Excited, he tried it out on a tree, swiftly cutting it down. But as he looked at the tree, with dismay he realized it was his mother's favorite cherry tree," his pappy paused." just like you, he ran into the woods. When he returned, his pappy asked, 'Abraham, did you cut down the cherry tree?' Abraham answered with, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. I did indeed chop down the tree.' Then his father said, 'Well, since you were honest with me, you are spared from punishment. I hope you have learned your lesson, though.' So," the little boy's father asked again," did you knock down the outhouse?"

"Pappy, I cannot tell a lie any more." said the little boy. "I did indeed knock down the outhouse."

Then his pappy father spanked Sam boy red, white, and blue. The boy whimpered, "Pappy, I told you the truth! Why did you spank me?"

Pappy answered, "Because son, Abraham Lincoln's father wasn't in the tree when he chopped it down!"


I thought that was George Washington's mother's favorite cherry tree.... headscratch

A newspaper boy was standing on the corner with a large pile of papers, shouting, "Read all about it. Twenty five people cheated. Twenty five people cheated."

Intrigued, a man walked over, bought a paper, and checked the front page. What he saw was yesterday's paper. The man said, "Hey, this is an old paper, where's the story about the big swindle?" The newspaper boy ignored him and went on yelling out, "Read all about it. Twenty six people cheated."

Q: What is the difference between a guitar and a tuna fish?

A: You can tune a guitar but you can't tuna fish.

A golf pro dragged himself into the clubhouse looking as though he'd just escaped a tornado.

"What's wrong?" a woman asked.

"I just lost a game to Houlihan," the pro said.

"What? But Houlihan's the worst player I've ever seen. How could he have beaten you?"

"He tricked me," the pro said. "On the first tee, he asked for a handicap. I told him he could have 30, 40, 50 strokes- any handicap he wanted.

He said, 'Just give me two gotchas."

"What's a gotcha?" asked the woman. "That's what I wanted to know," the pro said. "Houlihan said, 'You'll see.' Then, as I was teeing off, just as I had my club poised, he screamed out 'Gotcha!'"

"I can guess what happened," the woman said.

"Sure," the pro said. "The scream threw me off, and I missed the ball completely."

"Understandable," the woman said. "But still, that's only one swing. How did he win the game?"

The pro answered, "You try swinging at a golf ball all day while waiting for that second 'gotcha!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two violinists make a pact that whoever dies first, he will contact the other and tell him what life in Heaven is like. Poor Max has a heart attack and dies.

He manages to make contact with Abe the next day.

Abe says, "I can't believe this worked! So what is it like in Heaven?"

Max replies, "Well, it's great, but I've got good news, and I've got bad news. The good news is that there's a fantastic orchestra up here, and in fact, we're playing "Sheherezade," your favorite piece, tomorrow night!"

Abe says, "So what's the bad news?"

Max replies, "Well, you're booked to play the solo!"

Re: Tuesday's Special - 10/09/12 02:55 AM

I am so not ready for the Christmas stuff. I was in Costco and Lowes the other day and so many aisles are dedicated to Christmas that you can't avoid it. I wish we could get past Halloween before they start the next holiday.

Are you happy now that you have the cooler weather?

I will be heading to the chiropractor late morning and then I'll be in the corner for part of the day. Depending on how I feel, I will likely go to a class at night. My bad toe joint that needs to be replaced is revolting from all the pounding. I wish I could silence it. lol

Have a great day everyone!

FYI, Evelyne lost her internet again and she misses you all! She will return when she can.

Haroula, do you have room for visitor? lol How cold are your winters?

Sue, We have radio startions here that start playing Christmas music on Nov 1st. I am sick of it on the first day. lol

Gerry, it always hurts, just some days it's more bearable than others. duh Enjoy your day.

Venus, happy whooshing!

Gail, prayers and positive thoughts heading your way. hearts

Connie, I hope you have an awesome week. YOu both earned it!

Darlene, that is so great you are close. I wish my daughter was closer. It's a 25 minute ride when traffic is clear and over an hour otherwise.

Getting ready for the chiropractor. Can't wait to see his face when he sees my burned shoulder. 3 weeks old and still a big mess.

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

It's a quiet day here....love love love it. It won't stay quiet long though so I'm going to savor it. Hubby checked this morning and I can't get my eye meds til the 15th. Too funny and so glad my eye is more of an aggravation than an immediate danger.

I have heard rumors of cooler weather out there. I shall have to wander out the door and investigate that. wave

Re: Tuesday's Special - 10/09/12 04:36 PM

Christmas? Already? I thought we just had Christmas? My rule is when they start playing Christmas music on the speakers, I stop shopping. I hate coming home and humming Christmas music all day!

Sidewalks on first street almost done. Going to check on our morning walk. Amazing how much 'parking' is lost by widening the road to the REAL survey lines. Being a rural area for so many years, most folks just extended their property lines to the street. Now those people are losing up to 20 feet of the front. Lots of fences and brick walls and sadly beautiful trees are gone. One apartment complex (they left it till last) has HALF the parking spaces now. Gonna be fun for them to find on street parking with the neighbors also vying for it. Wow.

Rain predicted yesterday Monday never appeared, last night they changed it to Wednesday, but this morning...now it's Thursday. I don't think we will ever see any.

OH a Panda Express restaurant was robbed (with patrons made to lie on floor and robbed too!) This is the SECOND Panda Express to be robbed in two weeks. I'm not going to go to mine until this spree is over. Wowwwwwww. Very close to my house too. Used to be no crime around here and now it's closer and closer. scared

Good Tuesday morning to all.

Started the morning out by going to Home Depot for a couple of things. While there, looked at dishwashers. Ours is 13 years old and I don't think it rinses the dishes as well as it should sometimes. Have to use Lemme Shine in it so I don't get too much film on the glasses. Then when we got home, we took Cory for his walk. Now I'm home for the rest of the day and I can goof off.

Have a great day everyone.

Re: Tuesday's Special - 10/09/12 07:15 PM

Heavenly day, up to 82 and tomorrow,heavenly-er, up to 84. But today I've been eating every bit of food in the house. Probably due to the cold the last few days. Even the sun is out.

Sorta, be careful. How are the kits?

Nothing much going on today, still plodding through Deux Ex although I did finish insect armageddon in 3 days. Now that's my kind of game, just wall to wall shooting yeah.

Start gaming everyone -it's good for the frontal lobes.

Re: Tuesday's Special - 10/09/12 07:25 PM

Nan, I want to do some more looking and comparisons. Also look at reviews. Will check Lowes the next time I am over there. When I find one that looks interesting, I write down the model number and make and then come home and look on the internet.
