I cannot stand people who disagree with me on the issue of Roe v. Wade … which I believe is about the proper way to cross a lake.

My three-year-old daughter stuck out her hand and said, “Look at the fly I killed, Mommy.” Since she was eating a juicy pickle at the time, I thrust her contaminated hands under the faucet and washed them with antibacterial soap.
After sitting her down to finish her pickle, I asked, with a touch of awe, “How did you kill that fly all by yourself?”
Between bites, she said, “I hit it with my pickle.”

A police officer jumps into his squad car and calls the station.

At the mall, my five-year-old grandson joined the other children in line waiting to sit on the Easter Bunny’s lap. When it was his turn, Jake didn’t move; he just stared.
“Don’t you want to sit on the

“No!” he shouted. “There’s
a man in his mouth!”

An old guy walks into a bar and the bartender asks for ID. “You’ve got to be kidding,” he said. “I’m almost 60 years old.” The bartender apologized, but said he had to see the license. The guy showed his ID, then paid and told the bartender to keep the change. “The tip’s for carding me,” he said. The bartender put the change in the tip cup. “Thanks,” he said. “Works every time.”

The tenant shook her head. “They sure grow up fast, don’t they?”

She stopped me there. “Honey,” she said, “today is senior day. They all look like that.”

“Poor Old fool,” thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an old man fish in a puddle outside a pub. So he invited the old man inside for a drink. As they sipped their whiskeys, the gentleman thought he’d humor the old man and asked, “So how many have you caught today?”
The old man replied, “You’re the eighth.”

attractive, young technician. Sometime later, when the examination
was over, he was helped out of the machine by a far older woman. The soldier remarked, “How long was
I in there for?”

through the cemetery. Halfway across, he’s startled by a tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, he spots
an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at a headstone.
“I thought you were a ghost,”
says the relieved teen. “What are you
doing working so late?”
“Oh, those idiots,” grumbles the old man. “They misspelled my name!”

A week after John bought a bull, he complained to his friend, “All that bull does is eat grass. Won’t even look at a cow.”
“Take him to the vet,” his friend suggested.
The next week, John is much happier. “The vet gave him some pills, and the bull serviced all of my cows!” he told his pal. “Then he broke through the fence and bred with all my neighbor’s cows! He’s like a machine!”
“What kind of pills were they?” asked the friend.
“I don’t know, but they’ve got a peppermint taste.”

Good morning everyboomie.
Family I wish I could say as much with one word, and not need to explain what I mean.
I think my Sunday will be a nothing day.
This morning I did all of my weed eating. When I finished I was really full.
I didn't do a whole lot after that.
I won't get my truck back for 2 more weeks.
They texted me on Tuesday and said 'your repair is near completion.' I didn't hear anything else from them, so I fully expected to go down and pick it up at the finish date they gave me, Friday. Then Friday morning I got a text that said, 'your repair completion date has been rescheduled to June 6th.'
WHAT!!!! I called them and the guy tells me that the new door was damaged when they received it.
Then why did I get a text on Tuesday that said it was near completion, and on time??
Why wasn't I notified sooner that it was going to be delayed??
When was that door received in anyway??
I was probably a little too verbal with the guy, but a month to repair my truck is bull and that's what I told him.
Hey, have a happy day everyone.
I know I will,
joe
