FUN: You just need an RX

Saturday, February 18, 2012

A nice calm lady went into the pharmacy, and said to the pharmacist, ” I’d like to buy some cyanide.”

The pharmacist asked, ” Why in the world do you need cyanide?”The lady replied, ” I need it to poison my husband. “

The pharmacist explained, ” I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband, that’s against the law! I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw us in jail! Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”  The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and said,” You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

Agreed. Some talent; some lungs. No date? No name. Should show that to all the children to inspire them? Impressive.

FUN: Are you kidding me?

Monday, February 6, 2012

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/man-wins-50-000-tom-brady-safety-155056494.html

LUDDITE sent me the link with his comment: “You have to be kidding me….seriously?”

*** begin quote ***

Man wins $50,000 on Tom Brady’s safety
By Maggie Hendricks | Shutdown Corner

A safety is a rare play in any game, but for it to happen in the Super Bowl as the first score of the game? No one would expect that to happen. No one would lay a bet on something so unlikely, right?

Wrong. Jona Rechnitz bet $1,000 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas that the first score of the game would be a Giants safety. With 50-to-1 odds on such an unlikely score, Rechnitz is walking away from Las Vegas with a $50,000 pay day.

*** end quote ***

Wow!

And not just any safety. The first scoring play of the game. For 1k$!

I’m stunned.

I’d made it a 100-1, 1000-1, or a million to one shot?

I’ve taken those weird bets for c note. Never a k note!

Maybe I just didn’t gamble BIG enough?

This certainly bumps Madonna’s hip, the other act flipping the bird, or the commercials off the hot topic of the day!

FUN: Of Bankers and Ship Captains

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Of Bankers and Ship Captains: “The same was true of engineers during the Roman era. If they built a bridge that fell down, the people who paid for it were out a considerable amount of money. So the engineers were required to stand under the bridge when the scaffold was taken away. If the bridge failed, the engineer was toast.”

I never heard that one. Someone is pulling my leg?

FUN: a “telegram”

A reminder of times past. The telegram was always associated with bad news. Wish it was still possible. But, it’s like the rotary phone dial. And, leaving your door unlocked.

FUN: Sarcastic chicken story

Monday, December 26, 2011

FROM LUDDITE:

Homer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens) called “pullets,” and 10 roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup potand was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening tothe bells. Homer’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but one morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.

To Homer’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Homer was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No-Bell Piece Prize, but they also awarded him the Pullet surprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a Politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

Vote very carefully next year…the bells are not always audible.

Remember, a freeman can vote himself into slavery, but a slave cannot vote himself free.
