TGIF - 01/03/14 03:51 AM

Women have a much better time than men in this world. There are far more things forbidden to them.
Oscar Wilde
~~~~~~~~~


Three newly incarcerated convicts are discussing how they will pass their time in jail.

The first one pulls out a harmonica and says "I can play all my favorite songs on this."

The second takes out a deck of cards. "I can play poker with myself with these."

The third gets out a box of tampons. "Well, it says on here that with these I can go swimming, horseback riding, cycling, ..."
~~~~~~~~~~


Two drunks are walking along.

One drunk says to the other, "What a beautiful night... look at the moon."

The other drunk stops and look at his drunk friend, "You are wrong, that's not the moon, that's the sun."

They started arguing for a while when they came upon another drunk walking, so they stopped him.

"Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that's shining. Is it the moon or the sun?"

The third drunk looked at the sky and then looked at them and said, "Sorry, I'm not from around here."
~~~~~~~~

On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks "And get me a whisky you cow!" The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whisky for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls "And get me another whisky you idiot". Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another whisky but still no coffee.

Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach "I've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or I'll kick you".

The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says "You know for someone who can't fly, you sure complain a lot!"

A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three months, when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supplyboat to a supply base in the south of England, then caught a train to London. The train was extremely crowded and he could not find a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train looking for any place to sit down.

Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was room for two people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking, older British lady, with a small dog sitting in the empty seat beside her.

"Could I please sit in that seat" he asked. The lady was insulted. "You Americans are so rude." she said, "Cant you see my dog is sitting there?"

He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He found himself back at the same place.

"Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home- so I would be glad to hold your dog if I can sit down." he said.

The lady replied "You Americans are not only rude, you are arrogant."

He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally said "Lady, Ive been on the front lines in Europe for three months with not a decent rest for all that time. Could I please sit there and hold your dog?

"The lady replied "You Americans are not only rude and arrogant.You are also obnoxious."

With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog, threw it out the window, and sat down. The lady was speechless.

An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat spoke up. "Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the ladys description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot of things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your fork with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bit.....dog....out of the window."

(no animals were harmed in the making of this joke)

It was the final examination for an introductory English course at the local university. The examination was two hours long, and exam booklets were provided. The professor was very strict and told the class that any exam that was not on his desk in exactly two hours would not be accepted and the student would fail. A half hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for an exam booklet.

"You're not going to have time to finish this," the professor stated sarcastically as he handed the student a booklet.

"Yes I will," replied the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor called for the exams, and the students filed up and handed them in. All except the late student, who continued writing. A half hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his desk preparing for his next class. He attempted to put his exam on the stack of exam booklets already there.

"No you don't, I'm not going to accept that. It's late." The student looked incredulous and angry.

"Do you know WHO I am?"

"No, as a matter of fact I don't," replied the professor.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" the student asked again.

"No, and I don't care." replied the professor with an air of superiority.

"Good," replied the student, who quickly lifted the stack of completed exams, stuffed his in the middle, and walked out of the room.

An old Italian woman is riding the elevator in a very lavish New York City office building.

A young and beautiful woman, smelling like expensive perfume, gets into the elevator. She turns to the old Italian woman and says arrogantly, "Giorgio Beverly Hills, $100 an ounce!"

A couple of floors later, another young and beautiful woman, smelling like expensive perfume, gets into the elevator. She turns to the old Italian woman and says arrogantly, "Chanel No. 5, $150 an ounce!"

Three floors later, the old Italian woman has reached her destination. As she exits the elevator, she peers at both women, bends over and passes gas, then bellows, "Broccoli, 49 cents a pound!"

The Pentagon recently found it had too many generals and offered an early retirement bonus. They promised any general who retired straight away his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two parts of the general's body, with the general getting to select any pair of points he wished.

The first man, an Air Force general, accepted. He asked the pension man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. Six feet. He walked out with a check of $720,000.

The second man, an Army general, asked them to measure from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. Eight feet. He walked out with a check for $960,000.

When the third general, a grizzled old Marine, was asked where to measure, he told the pension man ... "From the tip of my [blip] to the bottom of my testicles."

The pension man suggested that perhaps the Marine general might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks the previous two generals had received. The Marine insisted and the pension expert said that would be fine, but that he'd better get the medical officer to do the measuring.

The medical officer attended and asked the general to drop the pants. He did. The medical officer placed the tape on the tip of the general's [blip] and began to work back. "My God!" he said. "Where are your testicles?"

The general replied, "In Vietnam."

A guy was in New York on a business trip and decided to head to a local bar for a drink. Standing outside the bar was a nun holding a tin cup.

As the man threw a few bucks into her cup the nun launched into a long tirade about the evils of alcohol. She went on and on about how alcohol was tearing apart the fabric of society and how it was the root of all the city's problems.

Slightly pissed off at having to listen to this the guy said, "Listen sister, I work hard for my money and sometimes at the end of a long day I like a drink or two. That doesn't make me a bad person. I have a wife I idolize and two wonderful kids at home. I provide for my family, I volunteer my time to several local service clubs and I contribute regularly to various charities. Yet you stand here and condemn me just because I drink the occasional glass of scotch!"

The nun was slightly taken aback and replied, "I see your point my son and I apologize if I offended you, but the alcohol is such a powerful demon that all who consume it are doomed..."

"Look there you go again," said the man, "How can you make such a sweeping statement. Have you ever even TRIED alcohol?"

"Of course not!" gasped the nun, "The evil alcohol has never touched my lips."

"Do you really think that one glass of booze can change you from a devout nun to some kind of evil degenerate?"

"Well, I really don't know ..."

"I'll tell you what, come into the bar with me and I'll buy you a drink. One drink. I'll prove to you that "evil" is not inside the glass, it's inside the person."

"Oh I could never be seen going into such a den of inequity, it's out of the question. However, your comment about evil residing in the person rather than the glass is quite intriguing. I must admit you've aroused a curiosity in me."

"Well let's go inside and settle this"

"No my son, I could never enter such a place... but how about this. Take my tin cup with you and fill it with this "scotch" you mentioned. Bring it out to me and I'll try it."

"You're on!" said the guy.

The nun removed all the change and handed him the tin cup. He went into the bar and said to the bartender, "Two scotch on the rocks, and could you put one of them in this tin cup please"

The bartender sighed and said, "Is Sister McGregor out there again?"

Hope you feel better, Joe!!

Have a great Friday, Ana!

Happy day to you, too, Cailyn!

Wow, that's a lot of snow, Gerry. Hope you can stay warm, stay inside and that you keep your power. shiver

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!! Unfortunately I still have this stupid cold, and it's back to work for me today. I also have snow, not the amount Gerry has, but there are a good five or so inches out there. Too bad it couldn't have happened the night before last or tonight, so I could just enjoy the pretty snow instead of having to drive in it. lol12

Oh, well, I'm off to get ready for work. Have a great Friday, everyone. winter

Good morning. Well, it's still snowing out there. I think we have 2 feet of snow so far. Yesterday I told Mike Bliss that I wouldn't be at their house today. There's no way I'm going anywhere today. Br-r-r-r-r. I'll have to go out there and clean off my car and shovel around it. Not looking forward to that. Stay safe everyone who's in the middle of all this snow storm. eek12 winter winter winter happydance12 happydance12

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, hope you're better today!

Ana, enjoy what5ever is on your agenda this morning.

Sue, get out the shovels. Dress warm.

Gerry, weather is not good out there today. We kept our power also.

Venus, I don't like driving in snow either.

Midgie, holy cow, do you believe all this snow and cold? Be careful shoveling your car out. I shoveled off a little out back early this morning so the dogs could go out and the icy wind kept blowing the snow back in my face. shiver It's 5 degrees and chill factor well below zero. eek12

Connie, I got some snow here to send you.

Brrr, today. Will be trying to clean out soon as all this snow stops. winter winter

Good morning friends.

Brrr, it was 2 degrees when we got up this morning. Expecting at least 6 inches of snow tomorrow night and Sunday. Then the temperature drops and we have below 0 temps Monday - Tuesday with wind chills around -30. Not looking forward to this.

Ana, how much snow did you get?

Midgie, so glad you are not going out today. Be careful shoveling snow.

Joe, hope you get to feeling better.

Dar, how is the weather in CA?

Gail, Gerry and Sue. Yuck to your snow storm. Stay warm.

Venus, hope you get over your cold soon.

Harcoula, have a good day. How is your weather?

Bill and I went to Wally World this morning. Just picking up things we needed. Nothing exciting.

Well, gotta go think about lunch.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Nan. Have fun at the fish fry.

Re: TGIF - 01/03/14 05:57 PM

I 'think' I remember SNOW. It's that wet, cold, lovely white, cold, fluffy flaked, cold, beautiful stuff that falls softly from the sky. Ahhhh. Now that I've said that and had the happy memories, I'm hoping everyone IN the snow areas stays safe and warm. Looks like New York (my original location) is getting hammered. Oh dear!

I'm off to the Movies. Gonna be fun I think. Anchorman 2.

He was in court today and will remain, thank you Jesus, in jail for the time being and go back to court sometime the end of the month. He was oedered.....NO CONTACT with granddaughter. More to come the end of month.

Good afternoon boomies! I thought I was here this morning but I see I wasn't. I ran errands early and apparently so did the rest of the people here. We are expecting another snow storm and -25F and people are stocking up. I am glad I got it over with. Mine was just a routine shopping trip.

My son left for 3-day snowboarding trip up near Nan with 15 friends. He is going to freeze his patooties off! winter

Nan, so glad he remains in jail. hearts
