A cowboy walked into a barber shop, sat on the barber's chair and said, "I'll have a shave and a shoe shine." The barber began to lather his face and sharpen the old straight edge while a woman with the biggest, firmest, most beautiful breasts that he had ever seen knelt down and began to shine his shoes.

The cowboy said, "Young lady, you and I should go and spend some time in a hotel room."

She replied, "I'm married and my husband wouldn't like that.

The cowboy said, "Tell him you're working overtime and I'll pay you the difference."
She said, "You tell him. He is the one shaving you."

A honeymoon couple is in the Watergate Hotel in
Washington. The bride is concerned, and asks, "What if
the place is still bugged?"

The groom says, "I'll look for a bug." He looks behind
the drapes, behind the pictures, under the rug. Finally,
he says, "AHA!" Under the rug was a disc with four
screws. He gets his Swiss army knife, unscrews the
screws, throws them and the disc out the window.

The next morning, the hotel manager asks the
newlyweds, "How was your room? How was the service?
How was your stay at the Watergate Hotel?"

The groom says, "Why are you asking me all of these
questions?"

The hotel manager says, "Well, the couple in the room
UNDER you complained that the chandelier fell on
them."

A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.

The group surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

````````````

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in.

The doctor arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight and found it somewhat below normal. The doctor asked if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed.

Breast fed, the woman replied.

Well, strip down to your waist, the doctor asked. She did. He pressed, kneaded, rolled, cupped, and pinched both breasts in a detailed, rigorously thorough examination.

Motioning for her to get dressed he said, No wonder this baby is under weight! You don't have any milk.

I know, she said, I'm his grandmother, but I'm glad I came.

``````````````

Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground.

The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate.

"Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

``````````````

A pirate walks into a bar. He has a peg leg, hook for a hand, and a patch over his eye.
The bartender asks "So, what happened to your leg?"
The pirate says "Aaar, I was fighting the British Navy and they blew up me ship, I fell over board, and a shark bit me leg off."

"Oh," said the bartender,"what happened to your hand?"

The pirate replies, "Aaar, I was fighting the British Navy again, and won came up and chopped me hand of with his sword."

The bartender then asked,"Well what happened to your eye?"

The pirate answered, "Aaar, I was walking down the beach and I looked up and there were some seagulls and one doodooed in me eye."

"And that caused your eye to be put out?," asked the bartender.

To this the pirate said,"No, first day with me hook!"

````````````

A man enters a cafe, sits down & notices that the special of the day is cold chili. When the waitress comes to take his order, he says, "I'll take the cold chili." "I'm sorry, the gentlemen next to you got the last bowl," says the waitress. "Oh. I'll just have coffee, then." After a while the man notices that the guy next to him who got the last bowl of cold chili is finishing a rather large meal and the chili bowl is still full. He asks, "Are you going to eat that?"
The other man replies, "No." "Would you sell it to me?" "You can have it for free if you want it."

So the man takes the bowl of chili and begins to eat it. When he gets about half way through the bowl, he notices a dead mouse in the bowl and pukes the chili back into the bowl. The other man says sympathetically, "That's about as far as I got, too."

I was thinking about you, Ana! If it's -6° here, it HAD to be colder up there! Of course, where I'm from in the far corner of NW Iowa, it was -28° last night. Hope everyone has a wonderful start to the New Year. We are heading into town for a Steak and Bloody Mary breakfast at our American Legion. The guys were saying they laughed at the weather because they are "Extreme Grillers!" However, I believe there was a lot of alcohol involved at that point!

Happy New Year, Gameboomers!

Happy New Year everyone!

It's cold in AL...not even going to break freezing today, which doesn't happen very often. Course, I know that is downright warm compared to what some of you guys have at the moment!

We will be watching Bowl Games, and the Rose Parade, of course. wavegirl

Happy January 1st to all! I'm planning on not going anywhere to day since California just legalized Pot and it's like a giant celebration everywhere around here. We have SIX dispensaries in 2 blocks right around my house. Nope, I'm wrong, we have 8. Two that closed, were reopened last week. I can hardly wait for everyone to exercise their new rights. Just hope they don't exercise them too close to me. I sneeze around Pot. Yup.

Re: January 1st, 2018 Diner - 01/02/18 03:16 AM

Interesting day today. Despite the -12 degrees I took a walk at the lake after work and saw an animal lying on the ice in the middle of the lake. It didn't seem right so I started making my way to it and discovered it was a goose that wasn't well. I had to go all the way back to my car and get a towel and then came back for it. I had to chase it awhile but when I finally caught it and held it, it calmed down. I drove it to a rehab place 45 minutes away. My 20 minute walk I intended, turned into a few hour chilly ordeal, but at least the goose is in good hands.

And how was your day?

Re: January 1st, 2018 Diner - 01/02/18 03:22 AM

Kudos to you Ana! I thought I was the only one who would go out of their way to help our animal friends. Hope the goose survives.

I remember being in Hawaii on vacation many moons ago, when a dog fell out of the bed of a pick up truck and the 'owner' didn't even stop. He never came back, but I and my hubby stopped traffic, corralled the poor dazed dog and passed it off to another concerned citizen. Poor doggie. We were on a remote road, didn't know the area, had no idea what to do with a big dog in a rental car. We never knew if the owner discovered the dog was missing. headscratch

Keep up the good work. The world will be better for your efforts. rah

Thanks, Sorta! You can see the video on Facebook. I really hate geese, they are messy creatures but I couldn't leave it there to die. They said he had a neurological disorder likely from a collision. He was severely malnourished. They think he will be ok.

Good for you on rescuing the dog! I once took one off the xpressway and threw it in my car. Thankfully a friend was able to keep it. It had a long happy family life after that!
