FUN: My father is a civil servant
Tuesday, October 27, 2009Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are.
The first one says:”Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow”.
The second one says:”Ha! You think that’s fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet”.
The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says:”You two know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45!!”

FUN: Green golf balls!
Friday, October 9, 2009http://dailyjokes.somelifeblog.com/2009/03/i-want-to-buy-golf-ball.html
A blonde golfer goes into the pro shop and looks around frowning.
Finally the pro askes her what she wants. “I can’t find any green golf balls,” the blonde golfer complains.
The pro looks all over the shop, and through all the catalogs, and finally calls the manufacturers and determines that sure enough, there are no green golf balls.
As the blonde golfer walks out the door in disgust, the pro asks her, “Before you go, could you tell me why you want green golf balls?”
“Well obviously, because they would be so much easier to find in the sand traps!”

FUN: MP4B do something to redeem
Monday, September 28, 2009http://www.boston.com/news/health/articles/2009/09/17/safe_at_home/
MA: GIs safe at home
Boston Globe
*** begin quote ***
“It was supposed to be a brief stop for the Red Sox to share the World Series trophy with wounded soldiers. But the team lingered at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for much of the afternoon, deeply moved by their conversations with amputees and veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Now that visit in February 2008 has turned into much more. The Boston Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital will announce today the launch of a $6 million program to treat the rising number of men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries and to encourage reluctant veterans to seek services. The players hope to take a crucial role in trying to diminish the stigma many veterans feel about asking for help for a mental disorder. Pitcher Tim Wakefield has filmed the first of a series of planned public service announcements in which he implores veterans to get treatment.”
[editor’s note: Apologies to those who don’t think this is “news” … Someone doing something constructive for a change is good to hear; the fact that it’s my beloved Sawx is just a bonus! – SAT] (09/17/09)

The fact that it is the hated Red Sox (just kidding) is even more infuriating.
Seriously.
I am always kvetching about MP4B (i.e., “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”). So, in this case, I have to applaud.

FUN: Shore report
Friday, September 25, 2009Breezy and cool.
Mostly cloudy.
Only the “winterers” are here.
Gusts move the blinds when they come thru the jalousies.
Soon it will be all over for the seasons.
Four sets of contractors coming today to measure the kitchen. It’s vintage 1930 and needs to jump up to date. Well, as far as it can jump on an old retired / unemployed guy’s meager allotments.
Last night when I couldn’t sleep, I was working on my opus. A stray young kitten wandered by and peered in the door. I was smart. Didn’t feed it or even acknowledge it. It moved on. After all you know what happens when you feed stray cats? You make more stray cats. Still, a pet would be nice. Yeah, I know “with my second wife”. To which I respond: “One Dog. One Wife. One … …”
Maybe the sun will come out today?

FUN: Gruzzle on Joe Wilson
Monday, September 21, 2009Joe Wilson’s Most Embarrassing Moments
Posted in September 16th, 2009
*** begin quote ***
So, even though I am center-right on most issues, I made this Gruzzle on poor Joe Wilson, the cretin congressman from South Carolina.
*** end quote ***
He did get the issue of coverage into the discussion. I’m not so sure that an “apology” was warranted. All politicians lie. They twist, distort, evade, and parse. If a child did half of it, they’d be in time out. (In my day, my Mom would extract some hair from my head to attract my attention to my failure to meet her standards.) So, I’d like to send the whole lot to time out a long time out by Getting Rid of Incumbent Politicians (i.e., voter enforced term limits)! My only question is if this is such a “crisis” why doesn’t it start until 2013. That and why the congress critters get a free pass. It’d be funny if this weren’t serious.

FUN: Michael Moore can’t sing, but he can bring back memories
Wednesday, September 16, 2009http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/09/leno-tuesday-ratings-.html
September 16, 2009
Jay Leno’s ratings drop notably for second episode
*** begin quote ***
The Leno episode featured an interview with Michael Moore in the studio
*** end quote ***
I think Michael Moore is a muddled thinker. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Times They Are A Changing”. While he’s no Dylan or PP&M, I can remember singing that in Greenwich Village along with all the other audience of the many folk singers.
For the times they are a changing?
How’s that “hope and change” working out for you?
For the loser now, Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’.
“We, The People” have been losing for a long time at the hands of the Political and Elite. Time for us to start winning.

FUN: What should Insurance Companies do in response to Obamacare? (WWICD)
Saturday, September 12, 2009http://knappster.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-insurance-companies-should-do.html
*** begin quote ***
In my last post on ObamaCare, I put myself in the shoes of the President of the United States. Now I’m going to put myself in the shoes of the president of an insurance company. If I found myself in that position, I’d be getting my ducks in a row right now — calling emergency board meetings, working out details with the company’s officers, etc. I’d be ready to move the instant it became obvious that this bill was going to pass, and this is what my move would look like:
– I’d inform the company’s policyholders that the company is going out of business at the end of the next billing cycle, that their policies will be canceled effective that date, and that they’ll need to find coverage elsewhere;
– I’d inform the company’s workers that their employment is drawing to an end; and
– I’d inform stockholders that the company’s assets are to be liquidated through arranged profitable sale where possible and auction where necessary, and that after the company’s debts are settled and liabilities zeroed out, each stockholder will receive a final dividend per share from any remaining monies.
I might or might not send a note to President Obama, Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi. If I did, it would be short and to the point:
Find some other business to run, asshole — this one’s no longer available.
*** end quote ***
ROFL, but absolutely correct.

FUN: Shore report for Thursday
Thursday, September 10, 2009Windy, feels like it will blow down the three pigs’ houses with lots to spare.
Last night, the surf was huge. Cold, dark, and multiple breakers.
Cloudy,but not as overcast as yesterday. Briight clouds in spots.
Cold, chilly, refreshing.
“I vant to be alone.” And, I have it all to myself.
Yesterday, down to AC. Borgata had a $999 give away every 9 minutes. It was mobbed. Didn’t win the give away; won the old fashioned way.
Borgata has adopted “winter hours” at the buffet. (Seeking to cut costs?) And, eliminate shrimp from the lunch buffet. (Cutting costs?) Sigh, change is never good!

*** begin quote ***
From the Bristol Evening Post:
“Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach.
“On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant.
“The Council said, ‘That car park is your responsibility.’ The Zoo said, ‘The attendant was employed by the City Council…wasn’t he?’ The Council said, ‘What attendant?’
“Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years…!
“Total sum just short £2.9 million.”

FUN: WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Tuesday, August 18, 2009FROM ONE OF MY EFRIENDS WITH CLEARLY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS!
*** begin quote ***
I felt compelled to pass this on and do my part.
WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God bless America!
It is your patriotic duty to pass this on. If you don’t send this to at least 5 people, you’re a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are in the position of posing as a national threat.

ROFL!

FUN: Socialism
Friday, July 17, 2009FROM LUDDITE:
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
——————————————–
That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.
# – # – #
OBVIOUSLY, an urban legend. No professor gives out F’s any more. Grade inflation!

FUN: Luddite forwards me “an american doctor”
Friday, July 10, 2009A French doctor says, “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we
can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him
looking for work in six weeks.”
A German doctor says, “That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one
person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four
weeks.”
The Russian doctor says, “In my country, medicine is so advanced that
we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and
have them both looking for work in two weeks.”
An American doctor, not to be outdone, says, “You guys are way behind!
We recently took an unknown man with no brain out of Illinois , put him
in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work.”

FUN: Last fifteen minutes of the movie GREASE
Thursday, July 9, 2009Just had the happenstance to watch the last fifteen minutes of the movie Grease. There’s a certain elemental joy in it. Carefully constructed, of course. ONJ is beautiful; we know about her health problems coming. JT is virile; we know about his personal sadnesses in the future. And, the countless actors and actresses in the cast; we don’t know what happened to them. There’s a line in the song “We’ll always be together”. Unfortunately, that is NOT true. We only have the briefest of times for joy and lifetimes of separation. Still it’s nice to suspend belief and pretend.
