Silly Stuff

My dad forwarded this to me………lol

Lawyers should never ask grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother to the stand.

He approached her and asked; “Mrs. Jones, do you know me?”

She responded, “Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you’re a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.”

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?”

She again replied, “Why, yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. He’s lazy, bigoted, and has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women.  One of them was your wife. Yes I know him.”

The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and in a quiet voice said: “If either of you S.O.B.’s asks her if she knows me, I’llsend you to the electric chair.”

Silly Stuff

Jackie forward me this, I think I’ve heard it before. But it is a funny one. =)

A wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the Halloween party alone.

He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went.

The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided go to the party.

As her husband didn’t know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice ‘chick’ he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.

His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband.

After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and made passionate love in the back seat.

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make up for his outrageous behavior.

She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. ‘Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you’re not there.’ Then she asked, ‘Did you dance much?’

He replied, I’ll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening.’ You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!’ she said with unashamed sarcasm. To which the husband replied, ‘Actually, I gave my costume to your brother, apparently he had the time of his life

Happy Veterans Day

Here are some articles to help to tell some of the stories of some of our Veterans.

Young Warriors: Some Veterans Lied About Their Ages

**Unless something drastic happens, it is no longer as easy to enlist when not of age. It is amazing what some of them did at that age.

This time, vets return to welcome

**At least we learned something from ‘Nam even though our “fearless” Commander in Chief never did.

Study: 1 Out of 4 Homeless Are Veterans

**If anyone is surprised by this, they have been living under a rock for the last 20+ years. It was like this in the 80s, it is great to see that our government has figured out how to treat our veterans so honorably……gggrrr Just like Regan, Bush and Cheney don’t care………..but then they never served.

Vietnam Memorial turning 25 as artifacts grow

** I wasn’t even 10 when they finished this, but in ’81 my family had made a trip to DC and I have faint remembered impressions of the issues that people where having with it. And how hard the ‘Nam vets fought for it. Now it is one of the most visited memorials in DC.

Crosses Bear Honor

**That is one heck of a project for a 15yr old to undertake.

New wars, old nightmares

90 years of battlefield photos

Make sure you thank a Vet today. I’m proud of my Veterans…..my husband, my dad, my late uncle and my late grandpa.

Wasted Day & News Flash

Today was a waste on getting things done……..icks. We did get our back tires on the truck done finally.  Problem is that Sears is about 30+min away, then there is 2 hrs of walking around the mall as we wait for it, then another 30+min back.  Plus a stop at Best Buy to return some ear phones that didn’t work too well in staying in my ears for another pair.  Which I’m going to return…..ggrrr  Broke down and ordered what I really wanted online. I just didn’t want to wait for them to get here……….gggrrr

We wanted to get the house cleaned up.  I had just vacuumed everything last week but the Reggie decided to go on a shedding spree…….all over.  Nothing like having dark tuffs of fur on beige carpet…….yuck. But our 8yr hoover wasn’t working as well as it has in the past.  Just getting old.  So we had to get another and broke down and got us a Dyson DC17.  We got tons of fur up with that.  May need to use it on our cats…………lol

Between all that and laundry………..nothing else really got done.  =(  And I was going to bake some cookies…..I have a few errands to do tomorrow and then I’m going to do that…….while trying to get everything else caught up.  I have a ton of messages that I’ve been trying to get to for the last few days but have been failing miserably.

News Flash

 Tom Brokaw explores the turbulent ’60s

**This was a cool look into what the older generation of women had to go through and the changes that they faced.  The majority of today’s women take for granted the choices that they have.  =(

Father of boy at center of foster fight wants his son to stay in Oregon

**This is a case gone amuck!!!  What a bunch of morons!  The boy should stay here, it is pretty bad that the father feels he should stay where he is.

Semi-Productive Day

Sunday I had a headache all day. Mostly from a kink in my neck and encourage by my sinuses…….it sucked. I could not focus to save my life.

Watched the big game. I know you have to lose sometime, but I really wanted the Colts to win. At least they didn’t lose to some mediocre team. I was a wreck the whole game.

Today was suppose to be a productive day. Started out that way. With the fall back hour, we are getting up closer to the time we originally wanted without using an alarm clock……about 8-8:30am. So we get our normal AM surfing out of the way and then try to get some work done.

I was making some good head way into the nightmare that is our receipt pile. I could see the end of the tunnel by the end of the day for it.

Well, we are still having connection/network issues. So Harold order us switch and another “plug” so we can hardwire all the computers and hope that we don’t lose connection anymore. The parts got delivered so he went to work on it. Of course, something that should be so simple takes up the whole the afternoon, tons of frustration that should’ve never been and another call to comcast….ggrrr Then found out that we got the wrong item……….so it was on to the store. It finally is working. We aren’t going to use the wireless for a few days to make sure we don’t get knocked off online…….just another thing to eliminate.

So far the tires we ordered for the truck are not in. So probably won’t be getting them done until Wed.

I really need to finish up my work tomorrow so I can get focused on other things.
