I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."&lt;br /&gt;My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"&lt;br /&gt;And that's how the fight started...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.&amp;nbsp;She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."&lt;br /&gt;I bought her a bathroom scale.&lt;br /&gt;And then the fight started......&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.&lt;br /&gt;The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.&lt;br /&gt;I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.&lt;br /&gt;I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.&lt;br /&gt;The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.&lt;br /&gt;So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.&amp;nbsp;She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.&lt;br /&gt;When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office...&lt;br /&gt;She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'&lt;br /&gt;And then the fight started...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.&lt;br /&gt;She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,&lt;br /&gt;"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I really need you to pay me a compliment.'&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;And then the fight started.........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-4449209522055924168?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/4449209522055924168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=4449209522055924168' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4449209522055924168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4449209522055924168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-start-fight.html' title='How to Start a Fight.'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-4494474078775993900</id><published>2010-07-14T01:19:00.002+09:30</published><updated>2010-07-14T01:19:53.279+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Warm Milk</title><content type='html'>Thanks, Ted and Priscilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

He called everyone brother &lt;br /&gt;2. He liked Gospel &lt;br /&gt;3. He didn't get a fair trial &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish: &lt;br /&gt;1. He went into His Father's business &lt;br /&gt;2. He lived at home until he was 33 &lt;br /&gt;3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian: &lt;br /&gt;1. He talked with His hands &lt;br /&gt;2. He had wine with His meals &lt;br /&gt;3. He used olive oil &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian: &lt;br /&gt;1. He never cut His hair &lt;br /&gt;2. He walked around barefoot all the time &lt;br /&gt;3. He started a new religion &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian: &lt;br /&gt;1. He was at peace with nature &lt;br /&gt;2. He ate a lot of fish &lt;br /&gt;3. He talked about the Great Spirit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish: &lt;br /&gt;1. He never got married.. &lt;br /&gt;2. He was always telling stories. &lt;br /&gt;3. He loved green pastures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman: &lt;br /&gt;1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food &lt;br /&gt;2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it &lt;br /&gt;3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Can I get an AMEN!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-1044508173786099889?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/1044508173786099889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=1044508173786099889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/1044508173786099889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/1044508173786099889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2010/07/god-enjoys-good-laugh.html' title='GOD ENJOYS A GOOD LAUGH!'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-525276421271299466</id><published>2010-06-25T00:24:00.003+09:30</published><updated>2010-06-25T00:25:37.583+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>TWENTY DOLLARS</title><content type='html'>Thanks, Vern P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border-collapse: collapse;

I've been a good wife to you for&amp;nbsp;the last 20 years &amp;amp; I have nothing to show for it, and the last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you left your job today&amp;nbsp;which was the last straw.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 28.35pt; margin-right: 28.35pt; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Last week, you came home &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;you didn't even notice I had a new hairstyle, had cooked your favorite meal &amp;amp; even wore a brand new nightie. You ate in 2 minutes, &amp;amp; went straight to sleep after watching your TV soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband &amp;amp; wife. Either you're cheating on me or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 28.35pt; margin-right: 28.35pt; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Your EX-Wife.&amp;nbsp;Don't try to find me.

I watch TV soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining &amp;amp; bitching. Too bad that doesn't work.&amp;nbsp;I DID notice when you got a hair&amp;nbsp;do last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a boy!' Since my father raised me not to say anything, if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have got me confused with MY&amp;nbsp;BROTHER because I&amp;nbsp;haven't eaten pork for 7 years. About the new nightie: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on it, &amp;amp; I prayed it was a coincidence that my&amp;nbsp;brother had just borrowed $50 from me that morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all of this, I still loved you &amp;amp; felt we could work it out. So when I&amp;nbsp;won the 20 million dollar Lotto, on Saturday, I&amp;nbsp;left my job &amp;amp; bought&amp;nbsp;2 tickets&amp;nbsp;for us to Jamaica , but when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a&amp;nbsp;dollar from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So take care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signed,&lt;br /&gt;Your Ex-Husband, Rich As Hell &amp;amp; Free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my&amp;nbsp;brother Carl was born Carla.&lt;br /&gt;I hope that's not a problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1f497d;

A man answered, saying &amp;nbsp;'Hello.'&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I politely said, 'This is Chris. Could I please speak &amp;nbsp;with Robyn Carter?'&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly a manic &amp;nbsp;voice yelled out in my ear 'Get the right f***ing number!' And the phone &amp;nbsp;was slammed down on me.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I &amp;nbsp;couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. &amp;nbsp;When I tracked down &amp;nbsp;Robyn's correct number to call her, &amp;nbsp;I found that I had &amp;nbsp;accidentally transposed the last two digits. &amp;nbsp;After hanging up with &amp;nbsp;her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number &amp;nbsp;again.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;When the same guy answered the &amp;nbsp;phone, I yelled 'You're an asshole!' and hung up. I wrote his number &amp;nbsp;down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk &amp;nbsp;drawer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every couple of weeks, When I was paying &amp;nbsp;bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, 'You're an &amp;nbsp;asshole!' It always cheered me up.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;When &amp;nbsp;Caller ID was &amp;nbsp;introduced, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' Calling would have to &amp;nbsp;stop. So, I called his number and said, 'Hi, this is John Smith from the telephone &amp;nbsp;company. &amp;nbsp;I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He yelled 'NO!' and slammed down the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I quickly &amp;nbsp;called him back and said, 'That's because you're an asshole!' And hung &amp;nbsp;up &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day I was at the store, Getting &amp;nbsp;ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW Cut me off &amp;nbsp;and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. &amp;nbsp;I hit the &amp;nbsp;horn and yelled that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot &amp;nbsp;ignored me. I noticed a 'For Sale ' sign in his back window, so I wrote &amp;nbsp;down his number.&lt;br /&gt;A couple of days later, Right after calling the &amp;nbsp;first asshole (I had his number on speed dial,) I thought that I'd &amp;nbsp;better call the BMW asshole, too.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I &amp;nbsp;said, 'Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?'&lt;br /&gt;He said, 'Yes, &amp;nbsp;it is.'&lt;br /&gt;I asked, 'Can you tell me where I can see it?'&lt;br /&gt;He said, &amp;nbsp;'Yes, I live at 34 Oaktree Blvd &amp;nbsp;in &amp;nbsp;Fairfax . It's a yellow ranch, and the car's parked right out in &amp;nbsp;front.'&lt;br /&gt;I asked, 'What's your name?'&lt;br /&gt;He said, 'My name is Don &amp;nbsp;Hansen,' &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I asked, 'When's a good time &amp;nbsp;to catch you, Don?'&lt;br /&gt;He said, 'I'm home every evening after &amp;nbsp;five'.&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Listen, Don, can I tell you something?' He said, &amp;nbsp;'Yes?'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Don, you're an asshole!' Then I hung up, and added &amp;nbsp;his number to my speed dial, &amp;nbsp;too.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when I had a &amp;nbsp;problem, I had two assholes to call. &amp;nbsp;Then I came up with an &amp;nbsp;idea. &amp;nbsp;I called asshole # 1. He said, 'Hello.' I said, 'You're an &amp;nbsp;asshole!' (But I didn't hang up.)&lt;br /&gt;He asked, 'Are you still there?' I &amp;nbsp;said, 'Yeah!'&lt;br /&gt;He screamed,'Stop calling me!'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Make &amp;nbsp;me!'&lt;br /&gt;He asked, 'Who are you?'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'My name is Don &amp;nbsp;Hansen.'&lt;br /&gt;He said, 'Yeah? Where do you live?'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Asshole, I &amp;nbsp;live at 34 Oaktree Blvd, in Fairfax &amp;nbsp;,&lt;br /&gt;A yellow ranch, I have a black Beamer parked in front.'&lt;br /&gt;He &amp;nbsp;said, 'I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying &amp;nbsp;your prayers.'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole!' and &amp;nbsp;hung up.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Then I called Asshole #2. He &amp;nbsp;said, 'Hello?'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'Hello, asshole!' &lt;br /&gt;He yelled, 'If I &amp;nbsp;ever find out who you are...'&lt;br /&gt;I said, 'You'll what?' &lt;br /&gt;He &amp;nbsp;exclaimed, 'I'll kick your ass!'&lt;br /&gt;I answered, 'Well, asshole, here's &amp;nbsp;your chance. I'm coming over right now.'&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I &amp;nbsp;lived at &amp;nbsp;34 Oaktree Blvd, in Fairfax , and that I was on my way &amp;nbsp;over there to kill my gay lover. &amp;nbsp;Then I called Channel 9 News &amp;nbsp;about the gang war going down in Oaktree Blvd in &amp;nbsp;Fairfax.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I quickly got into &amp;nbsp;my car and headed over to Fairfax. I got there just in time to watch two &amp;nbsp;assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six cop cars, an &amp;nbsp;overhead news helicopter and surrounded by a news crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW I &amp;nbsp;feel much better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3333ff;"&gt;Anger management really does &amp;nbsp;work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-7593885602410485261?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/7593885602410485261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=7593885602410485261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7593885602410485261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7593885602410485261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2010/06/anger-management.html' title='Anger Management'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-8784788056671778128</id><published>2010-05-09T08:55:00.000+09:30</published><updated>2010-05-09T08:55:52.507+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Remember the Alamo</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18.0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; One day, a very gentle Texas lady was driving across a high bridge in Austin .&amp;nbsp;As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man&amp;nbsp;fixin' (means 'getting ready to' in the south) to jump.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18.0px;"&gt;She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump.

Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at  all. He  didn't even remember how he got home from the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As bad as he was feeling, he  wondered if he did something wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack had to force himself to open  his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of  water on the side table..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And,  next to them, a single red rose!! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of  him, all clean and pressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He  looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So  is the rest of the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He  takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in  the bathroom Mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then  he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little  hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Honey, breakfast is on the stove,  I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love  you, darling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,  Jillian'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stumbles to  the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the  morning newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His 16  year old son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, 'Son ... what happened  last night?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well, you  came home after 3 A.M. , drunk and out of your mind You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the  hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confused, he asked his son,  'So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a rose, and breakfast is  on the table waiting for me??'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His son replies, 'Oh THAT...  Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you  screamed, 'Leave me alone,  I'm married!!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Broken Coffee  Table $239.99&lt;br /&gt;Hot Breakfast $4.20&lt;br /&gt;Two Aspirins $.38&lt;br /&gt;Saying the right thing, at  the right time. .

The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, 'Got stuck, huh?'&lt;br /&gt;The truck driver says, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and I ran out of gas.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-size:18pt;color:blue;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SMART ASS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ANSWER OF THE YEAR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; 2009!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'&lt;br /&gt;A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'&lt;br /&gt;The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering.  When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:18pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A BONUS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;EXTRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror.

He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ecxyshortcuts" id="ecxlw_1260656924_2" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 102, 204); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; "&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262039180_3" style="cursor: pointer; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 102, 204); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wal-Mart&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go, you'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, 'What does this do?' 'You're kidding me!' 'Who would buy that?' Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding what I wanted was difficult.. 'Love Dolls' come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry. I settled for 'Lovable Louise.' She was at the bottom of the price scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To call Louise a 'doll' took a huge leap of imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Christmas Eve and with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours. Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy, but had left the dog confused.. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all agreed that Louise should remain in her pantyhose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ecxyshortcuts" id="ecxlw_1260656924_3"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262039180_4"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;traditional Christmas dinner&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door. 'What the hell is that?' she asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother quickly explained, 'It's a doll.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Who would play with something like that?' Granny snapped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kept my mouth shut..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Where are her clothes?' Granny continued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran,' Jay said, to steer her into the dining room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Granny was relentless. 'Why doesn't she have any teeth?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, 'Hang on Granny, hang on!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, 'Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?' I told him she was Jay's friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this might be Grandpa's &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ecxyshortcuts" id="ecxlw_1260656924_4"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1262039180_5"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;last Christmas at home&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the mantel, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny threw down her napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember..&lt;br /&gt;Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait until next Christmas&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13.5pt;color:black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-5204259165879571365?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/5204259165879571365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=5204259165879571365' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5204259165879571365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5204259165879571365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-dinner.html' title='Christmas Dinner'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-5399233903986159718</id><published>2009-12-22T22:10:00.001+10:30</published><updated>2009-12-22T22:12:33.159+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;

The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate', so she called on him.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  Johnny said, 'My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight.'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  The teacher sat down and cried.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-5399233903986159718?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/5399233903986159718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=5399233903986159718' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5399233903986159718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5399233903986159718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/12/little-johnny-strikes-again.html' title='LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-2586402254853707122</id><published>2009-12-21T10:37:00.002+10:30</published><updated>2009-12-21T10:44:38.571+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>MORE REASONS WHY WE LOVE CHILDREN..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Thanks, George D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1) NUDITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a  woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) OPINIONS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother... The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) KETCHUP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) MORE NUDITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing  towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then  asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) POLICE # 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop?' 'Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. 'My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police.. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as&lt;br /&gt;she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) POLICE # 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'It sure is,' I replied...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) ELDERLY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable&lt;br /&gt;barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) DRESS-UP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'And why not, darling?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) DEATH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) SCHOOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) BIBLE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'What have you got there, dear?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!' &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                                &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-2586402254853707122?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/2586402254853707122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=2586402254853707122' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/2586402254853707122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/2586402254853707122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/12/more-reasons-why-we-love-children.html' title='MORE REASONS WHY WE LOVE CHILDREN..'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-5708799022289335498</id><published>2009-12-14T10:31:00.002+10:30</published><updated>2009-12-14T10:35:39.553+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>New Husbands Store</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Thanks, Grier C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York  City  , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how  the store operates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value  of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign  reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help  with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on  this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;PLEASE NOTE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store  just across the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first floor has wives that love sex..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-5708799022289335498?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/5708799022289335498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=5708799022289335498' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5708799022289335498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5708799022289335498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-husbands-store.html' title='New Husbands Store'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-514230680253108314</id><published>2009-12-09T07:49:00.002+10:30</published><updated>2009-12-09T07:51:41.140+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Drafting Guys over 60----</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span book=""  style=" ;font-size:24pt;"&gt;obviously written by a Former Soldier-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span book=""  style=" ;font-size:24pt;"&gt;New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span book=""  style=" ;font-size:24pt;"&gt;I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists.

No matter how legitimate my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury, a nd I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I reasoned, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on the top of my head. The accident occurred mainly because I had given in to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty.&lt;br /&gt;Initially, the new acquisition was no problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;amp;ik=b768d429d4&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=124f9b011d1d91fd&amp;amp;attid=0.2&amp;amp;disp=emb&amp;amp;zw" width="199" height="154" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 18pt; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then one morning, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Deb, call out to me from the kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Honey! The garbage disposal is dead again. Please come reset it.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You know where the button is,' I protested through the shower pitter-patter and steam. 'Reset it y ourself!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'But I'm scared!' she persisted. 'What if it starts going and sucks me in?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a meaningful pause and then, 'C'mon, it'll only take you a second.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So out I came, dripping wet and butt naked, hoping that my silent outraged nudity would make a statement about how I perceived her behaviour as extremely cowardly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sighing loudly, I squatted down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last action I remember performing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It struck without warning, and without any respect to my circumstances. No, it wasn't the hexed disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth. It was our new kitty, who discovered the fascinating dangling objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise moment when I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws. I lost all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements, blindly rising at a violent rate of speed, with the full weight of a kitten hanging from my masculine region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wild animals are sometimes faced with a 'fight or flight' syndrome. Men, in this predicament, choose only the 'flight' option. I know this from experience. I was fleeing straight up into the air when the sink and cabinet bluntly and forcefully impeded my ascent. The impact knocked me out cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are not many things in this life worse than finding oneself lying on the kitchen floor butt naked in front of a group of 'been-there, done-that' paramedics.&lt;br /&gt;Even worse, having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics were all snorting loudly as they tried to conduct their work, all the while trying to suppress their hysterical laughter......and not succeeding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I lived through it all. A few days later I finally made it back in to the office, where colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me about my head injury. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk about, which it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'What's the matter?' They all asked, 'Cat got your tongue?'&lt;br /&gt;If they only knew! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;amp;ik=b768d429d4&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=124f9b011d1d91fd&amp;amp;attid=0.3&amp;amp;disp=emb&amp;amp;zw" width="251" height="284" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-size: 18pt; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that only the women laugh at this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-4007789139919374470?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/4007789139919374470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=4007789139919374470' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4007789139919374470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4007789139919374470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/11/cat-lover-or-not-this-is-too-funny.html' title='Cat Lover or Not, this is too funny!'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-9190202107252789290</id><published>2009-11-09T02:42:00.001+10:30</published><updated>2009-11-09T02:45:05.591+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Short, Funny and Too True!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Thanks, Mary J.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/SvbuN1aGpAI/AAAAAAAADk4/1FPPGUnfoOA/s1600-h/ATT00001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/SvbuN1aGpAI/AAAAAAAADk4/1FPPGUnfoOA/s400/ATT00001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401766724519764994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-9190202107252789290?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/9190202107252789290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=9190202107252789290' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/9190202107252789290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/9190202107252789290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/11/short-funny-and-too-true.html' title='Short, Funny and Too True!'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/SvbuN1aGpAI/AAAAAAAADk4/1FPPGUnfoOA/s72-c/ATT00001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-7484109409921443632</id><published>2009-10-28T22:15:00.002+10:30</published><updated>2009-10-28T22:20:02.670+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>One More Time?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Thanks, Vern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Morris returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him that he has only 24 hours to live.  Given the prognosis, Morris asks his wife for sex. Naturally, she agrees, so they make love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;About 6 hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, 'Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live.  Could we please do it one more time?'  Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left.  He touches his wife's shoulder and asks, 'Honey, please... just one more time before I die.'  She says, 'Of course, Dear,'  and they make love for the third time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;After this session, the wife rolls over and falls to sleep. Morris, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he's down to 4 more hours. He taps his wife, who rouses. 'Honey, I have only 4 more hours.  Do you think we could...'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;At this point the wife sits up and says, 'Listen Morris, enough is enough I have to get up in the morning... you don't.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-7484109409921443632?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/7484109409921443632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=7484109409921443632' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7484109409921443632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7484109409921443632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/10/one-more-time.html' title='One More Time?'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-4742646349027781847</id><published>2009-10-21T05:14:00.003+10:30</published><updated>2009-10-21T05:18:07.591+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>HOW IS NORMA?......</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="ecxMsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:180%;color:purple;"   &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:Verdana;font-size:18pt;color:purple;"   &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Thanks, Art&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:180%;color:purple;"   &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:Verdana;font-size:18pt;color:purple;"   &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:13.5pt;color:black;"   &gt;A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital.

What's the name and room number?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay Room 302.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse. After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, 'Oh, I have good news.  Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The operator replied, 'You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302.

After sorting through a stack of resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'That's very good!' replied Jennifer. 'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Hmmm....let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed.' She then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turning to BUBBA, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Oh sure', said BUBBA.

So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="Apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;This gives two possibilities:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;So which is it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over! The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... .leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-7136397531640796345?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/7136397531640796345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=7136397531640796345' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7136397531640796345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/7136397531640796345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/09/hell-explained-by-chemistry-student.html' title='HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT:'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-6984817703180502937</id><published>2009-09-17T08:18:00.003+09:30</published><updated>2009-09-17T08:22:52.301+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Don't Swim with the Alligators.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style=";color:black;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;color:black;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elderly man in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style=";color:black;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;color:black;" &gt;Kentucky&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style=";color:black;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;color:black;" &gt; had owned a large farm for several&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style=";color:black;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;color:black;" &gt; years.

Why must I speak  English?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Unknown voice from another plane  (in a beautiful British accent):&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 66, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "Because you lost the bloody war!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times;"&gt;Tower:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact  Departure on frequency 124.7"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Eastern  702:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure.

The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and  I'll have enough parts for another one."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;The German air controllers at Frankfurt&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt; Airport&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt; are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's  gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.  So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following  exchange between&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign  Speedbird 206.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Speedbird 206:&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! clear of  active runway."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Ground:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt;   "Speedbird 206.

I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on  Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting  hysterically:&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; "God!  Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You  stay right there and don 't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive  taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I  tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you!

Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her  current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking:&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:6;"  &gt;"Wasn't I married to you  once?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-623645839120627369?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/623645839120627369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=623645839120627369' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/623645839120627369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/623645839120627369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/08/these-are-really-really-funny.html' title='These are really, really funny!'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-1114022322524701881</id><published>2009-07-18T09:05:00.005+09:30</published><updated>2009-07-18T09:09:58.901+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>This is what retirement is like in Florida...</title><content type='html'>Thanks, Vern&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too funny!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;For those of you contemplating retirement, I would like to share my retirement experiences with you, which I hope will be helpful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Fifteen years ago my wife and I moved into a retirement development on Florida's Southeast coast.  We are living in the Delray/Boca/Boynton Golf, Spa, Bath and Tennis Club on Lake Fake-a-hachee.  There are 3000 lakes in Florida; only three are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;real.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Our biggest retirement concern was time management.  What were we going to do all day? Let me assure you, passing the time is not a problem.  Your days will be eaten up by simple, daily activities.  Just getting out of your car takes 15 minutes. Trying to find where you parked takes&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;20 minutes.  It takes 1/2 hour on the check-out line in&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Wal-Mart&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and 1 hour to return the item the next day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Let me take you through a typical day.  We get up at 5:00 AM, have a quick breakfast and join the early morning Walk and Talk Club.  There are about 30 of us and rain or shine we walk around the streets, all talking at once.  Every development has some late risers who stay in bed until 6 AM.  After a nimble walk avoiding irate drivers out to make us road kill, we go back home, shower and change for the next activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;My wife goes directly to the pool for her under water Pilates class, followed by gasping for breath and CPR.  I put on my 'Ask me about my Grandchildren' T-shirt, my plaid mid-calf shorts, my black socks and sandals and go to the club house lobby for a nice nap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Before you know it, it's time for lunch.  We go to Costco to partake of the many tasty samples dispensed by ladies in white hair nets.  All free!  After a filling lunch, if we don't have any doctor appointments, we might go to the flea market to see if any new white belts have come in or to buy a&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rolex watch&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for $2.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;We're usually back home by 2 PM to get ready for dinner.  People start lining up for the early bird about 3 PM, but we get there by 3:45 because we're late eaters.  The dinners are very popular because of the large portions they serve.  You can take home enough food for the next day's lunch and dinner, including extra bread, crackers, packets of mustard, relish, ketchup and Sweet-and-Low along with mints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;A&lt;/span&gt;t 5:30 we're home ready to watch the 6 o'clock news.  By 6:30 we're fast asleep.  Then we get up and make 5 or 6 trips to the bathroom during the night and it's time to get up and start a new day all over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Doctor related activities eat up most of your retirement time.  I enjoy reading old magazines in sub-zero temperatures in the waiting room, so I don't mind.  Calling for test results also helps the days fly by.  It takes at least half an hour just getting through the doctor's phone menu.  Then there's the hold time until you're connected to the right party.  Sometimes they forget you're holding, and the whole office goes off to lunch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Should you find you still have time on your hands, volunteering provides a rewarding opportunity to help the less fortunate. Florida has the largest concentration of seniors under five feet and they need our help.  I myself am a volunteer for 'The Vertically Challenged Over 80'.  I coach their basketball team, The Arthritic Avengers.  The hoop is only 4 1/2 feet from the floor.  You should see the look of confidence on their faces when they make a slam dunk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Food shopping is a problem for short seniors or 'bottom feeders' as we call them because they can't reach the items on the upper shelves.  There are many foods they've never tasted.  After shopping, most seniors can't remember where they parked their cars and wander the parking lot for hours while their food defrosts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;div class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Lastly, it's important to choose a development with an impressive name.  Italian names are very popular in Florida.  They convey world traveler, uppity sophistication and wealth.  Where would you rather live .... Murray's Condos or the Lakes Of Venice?  There's no difference. They're both owned by Murray who happens to be a cheap bastard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;I hope this material has been of help to you future retirees.  If I can be of any further assistance, please look me up when you're in Florida.  I live in The Leaning Condos of Pisa in&lt;span class="EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_EC_ecapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Boynton Beach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-1114022322524701881?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/1114022322524701881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=1114022322524701881' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/1114022322524701881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/1114022322524701881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/07/this-is-what-retirement-is-like-in.html' title='This is what retirement is like in Florida...'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-2006446224470804912</id><published>2009-07-09T08:48:00.001+09:30</published><updated>2009-07-09T08:51:14.849+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Another Golf Story.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;A  Catholic priest, an Indian doctor, a rich Chinese  businessman and an&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Italian from New Jersey were  waiting one morning for a particularly slow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;group of  golfers  in front of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The  Italian from New Jersey fumed,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;'What's  with those jerks?

color: blue; font-family: Arial;"&gt;This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband..  She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: "Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty..&lt;br /&gt;You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline.  Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called Teste."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't go any further. I know that place.  Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him.  He'll look the size of an ant.&lt;br /&gt; Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser  asked her about her trip to Rome .&lt;br /&gt;"It was wonderful," explained the woman, not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling  job,&lt;br /&gt;and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no  extra charge!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know  you didn't get to see the Pope."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Act ually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a  Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to  meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.  Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, really!  What'd he say ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; He said: "Who f**ked up your hair?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-4129857914025345131?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/4129857914025345131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=4129857914025345131' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4129857914025345131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/4129857914025345131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/05/negative-people.html' title='Negative People'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-3662308986584647108</id><published>2009-05-24T11:35:00.002+09:30</published><updated>2009-05-24T11:37:51.338+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Oh, is there a moral dilemma?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Thanks, Vern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS...................&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;coming up with his answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;HOWEVER...., The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;with the old friend for a few beers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-3662308986584647108?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/3662308986584647108/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=3662308986584647108' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/3662308986584647108'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/3662308986584647108'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/05/oh-is-there-moral-dilemma.html' title='Oh, is there a moral dilemma?'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-358834643568344910</id><published>2009-05-03T09:17:00.001+09:30</published><updated>2009-05-03T09:18:56.099+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>A Cowboy Named Bud</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote  pasture in South Dakota when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Then Bud the Cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The young man thinks about it for a second and then says,"Okay, why not?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter you are than me; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living – or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now give me back my dog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-358834643568344910?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/358834643568344910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=358834643568344910' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/358834643568344910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/358834643568344910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/05/cowboy-named-bud.html' title='A Cowboy Named Bud'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-3172660631766367047</id><published>2009-05-01T00:41:00.005+09:30</published><updated>2009-05-01T00:47:44.707+09:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Dear BillyBob,</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you know, my divorce was final yesterday, and in the divorce settlement she was awarded the double-wide mobile home and my pickup truck. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Can you believe it?

I put 'poor planning' as the cause of my accident. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:13;color:black;"   &gt;You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had some bricks left over which, when weighed later were found to be&lt;br /&gt;slightly in excess of 500lbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than carry the bricks down by hand,  I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Securing the rope at ground I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the bricks. You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form that I weigh 135 lbs. Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:13;color:blue;"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:13;color:black;"   &gt;lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope.  Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Comic Sans MS';font-size:13;color:black;"   &gt;In the vicinity of the third floor, I met  the barrel, which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explained the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collar bone, as listed in section 3 of the accident report form. Slowed only slightly, I  continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the  pulley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of beginning to experience pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, that barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the building In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here my luck began to change slightly.  The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its journey back down onto me.  This explains the two  broken legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this answers your inquiry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25653714-5078157232974484478?l=hownowbluecow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/feeds/5078157232974484478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25653714&amp;postID=5078157232974484478' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5078157232974484478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25653714/posts/default/5078157232974484478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hownowbluecow.blogspot.com/2009/03/australian-bricklayers-accident-report.html' title='AUSTRALIAN BRICKLAYER&apos;S ACCIDENT REPORT'/><author><name>Jack K.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aodDDgVNgdI/TBgLktd_BZI/AAAAAAAAE38/c595joJCa74/S220/65+DSC_2187+Old+Yellowstone+Hotel.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25653714.post-3659281130199986158</id><published>2009-03-23T07:07:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2009-03-23T07:08:12.024+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humour'/><title type='text'>Irish Blonde</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:180%;color:#008000;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:180%;color:#008000;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;color:#008000;"  &gt;An attractive blonde from Dublin arrived at the casino and bet $20,000 on a single roll of the dice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;color:#008000;"  &gt; She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;color:#008000;"  &gt; With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;color:#008000;"  &gt; As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...
