A piece of string walks up to the door of a bar and sees a "No Strings Allowed" sign at the entrance.
The string stops, wiggles himself into a loop and passes one of his ends through the loop.
The string then tousles both of his ends. He then enters the bar and orders a drink.
The bartender looks at him and says "We don't serve strings here. You are a string, aren't you?"
The string replies, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."

An atom walks into a bar and tells the bartender "I need a drink. I feel terrible, and I just lost an electron. Bartender asks " Are you sure?" Atom replies "Yes I am POSITIVE."

Do you have to check for Tarantulas or pit vipers before you grab the remote? Just asking.

[TheLastDaze]

A muslim, a socialist, and a communist walk into a bar.

The bartender says hello Mr. President.

That's close to politics son but since it's so honest we'll leave it.

Grotman,

Your list reminds me of my Father-in-law. He's been telling the same "groaners" for many years...over and over again. He has them numbered. Now he just says; "number 7", and we all chuckle. Saves time.

[jeepster09]

Did you guys see on the news where the local Ferguson shoe store owner who's store was looted said every single pair of shoes were stolen, except the work boots.

[jeepster09]

A little old lady who had lost her marbles was running up and down the
halls in a nursing home.
As she ran, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex."
She ran up to an elderly man in a wheelchair, flipping her gown at
him, she said, "Supersex."
He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup."

[jeepster09]

Nothing Like a Ford Truck.
New Truck built by a company we didn't bail out...




I bought a new Ford F250 Tri-Flex Fuel Truck. Go figure—
it runs on either hydrogen, gasoline, or E85.



I returned it to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The service technician explained that the radio was voice activated.



" Nelson ", the technician said to the radio.
The radio replied, " Ricky or Willie ?"



" Willie !" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers.



Then he said, " Ray Charles!”, and in an instant " Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson ..
I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say,
"Beethoven", I'd get beautiful classical music, and
if I said, "Beatles", I'd get one of their awesome songs.



Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck,
but I swerved in time to avoid him…..



I yelled, "A$$ Hole!" Immediately the radio responded with,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States ."
Damn, I love this Ford truck....

Our daughter and son-in-law went through the same difficulty for about the same amount of time. Today, we are the proud grandparents of five-year-old twinadoes. Never give up hope. Best wishes for success.

Me and Mrs. Muggsy had the same problem. My old man saved the day when told me that I had the right idea, but that I just had to roll her over. Worked like a charm. :)

Well looks like I'm gonna have a Marine in the family. My youngest finished his physicals and test today. Starts basic Jan 15. Kind of blindsided me. Guess he did well testing so not many options he can't do. He's talking recon as a step to special forces. We'll see how that goes.

For now he's a devil pup I guess.

[getsome]

Congrats to ced 56 on the new addition and congrats to Bawanna Jr. for becoming a Marine and serving our Country....It's hard enough to be a Marine much less Recon but as with all our armed forces, it must be even harder to have to serve under our current POS Commander in Chief but we are fortunate that there are a few brave young men and women willing to do it and we can't thank them enough!!!....:Amflag2:

[Bawanna]

I think that's what pains me most is the CIC we got. Who knows what hair brained stuff he might come up with.
We're hopeful that the next one will be something good, hopeful is very optimistic though.

He's not a gung ho macho kind of kid, surprised me that he even considered it actually. Lacks the killer mindset that runs thru my veins untapped. Maybe it's there, he just don't show it so maybe that's a good thing.

I always wanted to be a Marine, I guess I can at least say I produced one. My dad was a Marine, just missed one generation. Had to be the one with the right mindset.

[Armybrat]

Well, congratulations to all!

Bawanna, every family should have at least one Marine...:o

Speaking of cars, I see quite a few of the new Fiats lately.
FIAT = Fix it again Tony...

[Alfonse]

Congratulations to your new Marine. Thank him for me. I suppose being your son he did pretty well at marksmanship!

[Bawanna]

Of my two sons he showed less interest in shooting. He has gone with us of course but not regularly like his ammo sucking older brother.
Might be a good thing since I'm sure the Marines will demand he do it their way, so it's good he don't have any really ingrained bad habits or good habits the Marines don't like to deal with.

Rules That Guys Wish Girls Knew

1.
Sometimes we just don't want to talk. Don't take it personally.


2.
We notice other women because we are men and we are alive. This does not mean we're planning to dump you and jump them.


3.
Our favorite T-shirts are not "disgraceful." They show our loyalty to our college, our favorite sports team, our favorite beer, our favorite vacation or number 23.


4.
Helpless is not cute.


5.
Get to the point.


6.
Understand that men are single-minded and can only do one thing at a time. So don't talk to us while we're doing something. We will either ignore you, because we don't hear you "honestly), or we'll screw up what we're doing because you've distracted us.
Exception to Rule 6. Interrupt us if something is on fire, if someone needs immediate medical attention, if Pamela Lee is on TV or if there is an emergency that needs a hero.


7.
You can't complain that there are no good guys around while some of us are still single.


8.
If you ask us, "Do you think she's prettier then me?" we just might say, "Yes." Then what are you going to do?


9.
Don't expect even a great relationship with us to solve all your problems. Just because we love you, doesn't mean your cellulite, your credit card debt or your bad mood will disappear.


10.
We would not wear high heels to impress you.


11.
Breathe occasionally so we can get a word in.


12.
For us, driving is not just a means of going from point A to point B. It's an opportunity to control a couple of tons of steel. We drive, therefore, we are.


13.
If you want us to notice something, help us out by saying something like, "I went to the beauty shop today."


14.
If you have to have a cat, at least don't call him "Mister" anything.


15.
Hide the self help books when we come over. They make us nervous.


16.
We need to vegetate.


17.
We don't go shopping. When we need something, we buy it.


18.
We believe our bodily functions are perfectly normal and, at times, quite amusing.


19.
We don't believe you when you say money isn't important to you.


20.
When we see pictures of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones we feel proud and happy to be men. We don't care if it's not fair.


21.
It's not that we don't want to make you happy, it's just that sometimes, we don't know how.


22.
Learn to work the toilet seat. If it's up, put it down.


23.
If it itches, it will be scratched.


24.
If you ask a question you don't really want an answer to, expect an answer you didn't want to hear.


25.
Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it.


26.
Don't ask us what were thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss topis such as navel lint, the shotgun formation and monster trucks.


27.
Sundays equals sports. Period.


28.
Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.


29.
When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.


30.
You have enough clothes.


31.
You have too many shoes.


32.
Crying is blackmail.


33.
Your ex-boyfriend is an idiot.


34.
Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one: Subtle hints don't work. Strong hints don't work. Really obvious hints don't work. Just say it!


35.
No, we don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar you know we check.


36.
We're not mind readers and we never will be. OUr lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.


37.
Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair - out of 30 - would look good with your dress?


38.
Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.


39.
Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


40.
A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.


41.
Check your oil.


42.
Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.


43.
It is neither in your best interest or ours to take any quiz together.


44.
It doesn't matter which quiz.


45.
Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after seven days.


46.
If you won't dress like the Victoria Secret girls, don't expect us to act like the soap opera guys.


47.
If something we said could be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.


48.
You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.


49.
Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.


50.
Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.


51.
If you wear a Wonderbra and a low-cut blouse, you lose the right to complain about having your boobs stared at.


52.
Our relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out.


53.
Men see a limited number of colors, like Windows default settings. Peach is a fruit, not a color.


54.
Ditto melon.


55.
If we ask what's wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong.

THE GUNFIGHTER


A young cowboy sitting in a saloon one Saturday night recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day, had been the fastest gun in the West.


The cowboy took a place next to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him of his great ambition to be a great shot...


‘Could you give me some tips?' he asked.


The old man said, 'Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun too high – tie the holster a little lower down on your leg.'


'Will that make me a better gunfighter?'


'Sure will '


The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his .44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.


'That's terrific!' said the cowboy. 'Got any more tips?'


'Yep,' said the old man. 'Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits it - that’ll give you a smoother draw'


'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the young man.


'You bet it will,' said the old-timer.


The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cufflink off the piano player.


'Wow!' exclaimed the cowboy 'I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more tips?'


The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. 'See that axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it.'


The young man smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.


'No,' said the old-timer, 'I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and all.'


'Will that make me a better gunfighter?' asked the young man.


'No,' said the old-timer, 'but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he's gonna shove that gun right up your ass, and it won't hurt as much.

Detail stripped my PM9 today and wow, talk about some extra parts.... I guess Ive been spoiled with Glocks so long I forgot how many parts other guns have in their striker firearms.. ...
Really?
It seems to me there are 36 total parts (not including frame inserts) in my CW45. These are all user removable without damage to the pistol (the front sight would have to be glued back in or replaced).

There are 34 user removable (without damage) parts in my gen 3 Glock 19. That count rises to 36 if I were to dis-assemble the recoil spring assembly (probably would damage it to do so, but it could work without the front plug). That still leaves 5 uncounted parts in the trigger/trigger bar assembly (removing them would most likely destroy it).

Political Correctness in Sports


Here is an email sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago
Tribune after an article he published concerning a name
change for the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page...

I always love your articles. and I generally agree with
them. I would suggest, as in an email I received, they
change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent
their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in
Congress.

Here is some other political correctness to consider:

I agree with our Native American population. I am highly
insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington
Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional
football team after Native Americans would exalt them as
fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to
offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and
courtesy, we must move forward. Let's ditch the Kansas
City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland
Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the
reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we
need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the
memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone.
It's offensive to us white folk.

The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do
you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is
no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost
this country so many young men's lives.

I am also offended by the blatant references to the
Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally
inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los
Angles Angels or the San Diego Padres.

Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who
raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible
Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the
wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers
promote irresponsible fighting or even spending
habits. Wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote
obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to
our children.

The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates . Wrong
message to our children.

The Milwaukee Brewers---well that goes without saying .
. . Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation
that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the
government will likely become involved with this issue,
as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing
congress loves . . .

As a die hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all
of this in mind, it might also make some sense to change
the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to
something other than "the Beavers."

Keep those cards and letters coming.

MINNESOTA

Declares War on the USA


President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office

when his telephone rang.


"Hello, President Obama," a heavily accented Norwegian voice said.



"'Dis here is Sven,

over here at the Muni Liquor Store in Menahga , Minnesota .



Ve don't like some a yer policies

so I am callin' to tell ya

that we are officially declaring war on ya!"


"Well, Sven," Barack replied,

"This is indeed important news!

How big is your army?"


"Right now," said Sven, after a moment's calculation,

"there is myself, my cousin Knute, my next-door-neighbor Ole,

and the whole pool team from the Muni "


Barack paused,

"I must tell you Sven that I have one million men in my army

waiting to move on my command."

"Wow," said Sven,

"I'll haf ta call ya back!"


Sure enough, the next day, Sven called again.



"Mr. Obama, da war is still on!



We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"


"And what equipment would that be, Sven?" Barack asked.


"Vell sir,

ve got two combines,

a bulldozer,

and Sigurd's farm tractor."


President Obama sighed.

"I must tell you Sven, that I have 16,000 tanks

and 14,000 armored personnel carriers.



Also I've increased my army to one and a half million

since we last spoke."


"All right den, said Sven. "I'll be getting back to ya."


Sure enough, Sven rang again the next day...

"President Obama, da war is still on!



We have managed to git ourselves airborne!



We up an' modified Ole's ultra-light vit a couple'a shotguns

in da cockpit,

and four boys from the coffee shop haf joined us as vell!"


Barack was silent for a minute then cleared his throat.

"I must tell you, Sven, that I have

10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes.



My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided,

surface-to-air missile sites.



And since we last spoke,

I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"


"Two million you say?," said Sven,

"l'll haf' to call you back."


Sure enough, Sven called again the next day.



"President Obama! I am sorry to have to tell you that

we have had to call off this here war."


"I'm sorry to hear that," said Barack.



"Why the sudden change of heart?"


Vell, sir," said Sven,

"we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over a few beers, and come to realize that there's yust no vay

ve can feed

two million prisoners."

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.

Sore subject getsome. Can't recall how many times I went to feed the hogs and the mean bastards trapped me in the corn crib. Be stuck there till my grandad realized I didn't come back and he'd come looking for me.

If I could of packed a pistol when I was 7 there would have been a lot more bacon on the table.

[Bawanna]

Got bit by Tomahawk fever of late. After a ton of hunting around I decided on a Vietnam look alike, similar to the ones issued to some of our guys. The real ones are pricey but this one being a knock off was only like 25 bucks.

It was black paint on the head and OD paint on the handle, pretty plain and utilitarian.

So I blinged her a bit. I might try and learn how to throw it this weekend. Never saw much use in throwing one but might as well give it a twirl since it's there.

This is what it looked like before I stripped the paint off and blued the head and stained the handle.

Nice work Colonel. You'll be better than Mel Gibson in the Patriot in no time! I'd hate to see that badboy flyin toward me.:ohmy:

Man that looks nice.

I always liked this site on the subject; http://tomahawkguys.com/

When I was in high school we lived on the air base. There was a Tech Sargent living a few blocks over who was full blooded Indian. Had real Teepee and he regularly threw tomahawks a large tree section targets in his back yard. Note here; Not one young person in the housing are ever caused any trouble near the sergeants house. He was a nice guy, but nobody that ever saw him throwing tomahawks (and knives) ever forgot how good he was at it. I sucked at throwing the ax, control of rotation was always my problem...

Have fun Bawanna, Good looking Ax!

[Bawanna]

That's what I'm wondering about. How much spin to put on it, I know it's gotta rotate, seems like it might take a little practice and even with a lot I might still suck at it.

Should work well for kindling I guess.

I gotta root my way under my house soon too to check out my water damage from a couple months back. Figure I can dig and poke wood joist with it too to see what's saveable and what's bad.

I'll find something to do with it.

My son visited us and brought his girlfriend. I had been trying to get our master bathroom shower rebuilt after I took it down to the slab and the studs. I gave up on getting that done beforehand, but now I've got to get that completed, but no hurry anymore. After I talked to someone at Lowe's and decided to use a liquid membrane product to coat everything in the shower and around the jacuzzi before reconstructing the pan and tiling everything, Wifey said I wasn't filling the house with chemical smells from that.

I did get to go shooting at the range with my son... hadn't been since about May, and my membership had run out. I renewed my membership and we shot my G21 SF, G23C, and my ported P40. I haven't gotten better, but I could still hit the target with my right hand, but not the left... very well.

I thought that all of us were going to the range, but Wifey took his girlfriend shopping instead. She has never fired a gun and would rather go shopping. That was last Friday and I JUST cleaned the pistols last night. We took 400 rounds to the range and my son bought 200 more, so 300 rounds each of .40 and .45. His bill was pennies shy of $90 for the 200 rounds and his fee for shooting. I have a case of 170-gr .40 Fiocchi FMJ coming in from Cabela's this morning (19th) for just under $300 after the $20 discount coupon and using $21+ points accrued. I have to keep up my stocks.

Detroit Graduation
A student played high school football in Detroit.
He was a great running back, but a really poor
student.

At graduation, he didn't have enough credits.
But he was a great football star and the students
held a rally and demanded the principal give him
a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that
the principal agreed if Darqueeze could answer
one question correctly he would give him a diploma.

The one question test was held in the auditorium
and all the students packed the place. It was
standing room only.

The principal was on the stage and told him to come
up.The principal had the diploma in his hand and
said, "Darqueeze, if you can answer this question
correctly I'll give you your diploma." He said he was
ready and the principal asked him the question.
"Darqueeze," he said, "How much is three times
seven?"

He looked up at the ceiling and the down at his shoes,
just pondering the question. The other students began
chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!"

Then he held up his hand and the auditorium became
silent. he said, "I think I know the answer. Three times
seven is twenty-one."

A hush fell over the auditorium and all the other students
began another chant.

"Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"

Darqueeze is certainly not Italian......:amflag:

Got bit by Tomahawk fever of late. After a ton of hunting around I decided on a Vietnam look alike, similar to the ones issued to some of our guys. The real ones are pricey but this one being a knock off was only like 25 bucks.

It was black paint on the head and OD paint on the handle, pretty plain and utilitarian.

So I blinged her a bit. I might try and learn how to throw it this weekend. Never saw much use in throwing one but might as well give it a twirl since it's there.

FINE work on that hawk Bawanna! Now, you've got me looking at them again.

For digging, poking, and prodding; save that beauty for other work and get yourself an adz-hoe-pick/mini pick/grubber hoe/pick hoe/seen called quite a few things. They are handy tools to have around and (IMO) would make a decent weapon if need be. I keep one in all my vehicles (probably less of a conversation starter than a tomahawk under the seat would be).

[Bawanna]

Whats the make on that first one in the picture. It looks to be short handled and operated with one hand.....

Good points on the conversation piece and for digging much better than me hawk.

When I'm on the ground I require a 3 point stance as it were so I can only swing with one hand. A full size adze or hoe/pickaxe just won't work for me. Once again you got me on the prowl for another blunt force tool. Your a bad influence on me but wicked smart and loaded with common sense.

[Bawanna]

Think I found that first one. A Zenport? See them from about 24 bucks up to 295 bucks, I'm not making this up, they all use the same picture. Wonder which I should hunt for. I mean the 300 buck one has to be better right?

Who are these people.

Found a military one similar to my hawk but a pick / mattock. 17 bucks! I think it might be the one.............

[gb6491]

Bawanna,
That one is from Dieter Schmid - Fine Tools (http://www.fine-tools.com/japanese-garden-hoes.html). They are kind of pricey.
I have similar ones from Japan Woodworker (http://www.japanwoodworker.com/product/155800/218--stainless-steel-garden-pick--hoe.aspx) that have held up fine through quite a bit of use/abuse:
http://i60.tinypic.com/nfi2on.jpg
The red plastic handle one is from Lowes. I haven't used it much as I don't like the curved/bowed/cupped front blade.
The big green headed one is oft sold as "military pick & mattock".
I just ordered one of these to try out: http://www.amazon.com/Mfg-Co-861-01MP-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00004RAKP/ref=pd_sim_lg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RPXG6VPD4V520GVMD2S

[Bawanna]

That one you just ordered looks pretty good too. Looks like it would get the job done.

A police officer was patrolling his beat late one evening when he noticed a car parked at the local lover's lane. The dome light was on but there didn't seem to be any activity inside. He parked and approached the car on foot.

When he got close enough he observed a young man in the front seat reading a magazine and a young lady in the back seat filing her finger nails.

He tapped on the window and asked the young man, "What are you doing sir?"

"I'm reading officer." The lad responded.

"Really, and what is she doing?" the officer asked.

"She is filing her finger nails." He answered.

"How old are you young man?" the officer asked.

"I am twenty-two years old officer." He responded

"And just how old is the young lady?" The officer inquired.

The young man looked at his watch and replied.

"Well officer, in eleven minutes she will be eighteen."

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights.
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl,
"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'."

[GROTMAN]

In that same vein..
The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby of the convention center where he was introduced to a United States Marine Corps General.

As they talked, the Iranian said, "I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

The General said, "Well, is there anything I can do to help?"

The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called 'Star Trek' and in it there is... Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is a black American, and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on 'Star Trek'.

The General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador, and whispered in his ear, "That's because it takes place in the future."

From the Just Jawin section of the Brownell's newsletter.

A little 10-year-old girl was walking home alone from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up beside her. After following along for a while, he turns to her and asks, "Hey there little girl, do you want to go for a ride?"

"NO!" says the little girl as she keeps on walking.

The motorcyclist again pulls up beside her and asks, "Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back."

"NO!" says the little girl as she hurries down the street.

The motorcyclist pulls up beside the little girl again and says, "Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 Bucks 'and' a Big Bag of Candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."


Finally, the little girl stops and turns towards him and screams, "Look Dad, you’re the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley!

"YOU RIDE IT!"

Apparently history got it wrong. My daughter (mother to our twin 5-yo grandsons) posted this status yesterday.

"I've always thought the Giant in"Jack and the Beanstalk" got a bad rap. Here he comes home from work, and senses an intruder. H he yells out a warning, but goes in about his dinner. The intruder then steals his money, and returns two more times to steal more valuable and prized possessions. Finally he chases the intruder, and gets killed defending his home. Jack, the thief and now murderer, lives happily ever after on his ill gotten gains."
