Junes Jubilous it's summer anything goes thread.

Well you thought I was gonna be remiss and neglect to create a anything goes thread. Well you were very close to being correct in you thinking.
But was again, Luck prevails and here it is.

Sometimes (good) luck is better than anything.

Sometimes (good) luck is better than anything.

Not something I've had much experience with but I've been told its a really good thing.

You've gotten in and out of Mexico a few times of late in good health so it must work for you pretty good.

[MW surveyor]

So far so good with the Mexico thing! Unfortunately I get to go back on Sunday for another 2 weeks without KahrTalk :(

Dang, I hate being temporarily banned.

Oh, by the way, make sure that you keep your check book handy at all times with your daughter getting married. I went through that with the first one. The only thing I was consulted about was.... I (or We) need to have this! Dang it hurt but at least I'm not supporting her any more, although SHMBO is doing a pretty good job with the grandkids. The other daughter flat out told me, if she ever gets married all of the support that we have given her over the year's is enough. Yea, I'll believe that when the time comes.

I just gave the check book to SHMBO long ago. I don't think we ever stop supporting our kids no matter their marital status. I usually dont mind especially since I have no idea whats in my bank account or if I even have a bank account any more.
This wedding deal is definitely putting a mental strain on me already though. They get worked up about some of the silliest crap. Planning for months for an event that will hopefully be history in about 2 hours when the day arrives.

My Mom & Dad had a pretty good arrangement. She would bring her paycheck home and give it to Dad. Then, when she needed money, he wouldn't ask how much, he would just hand her his wallet.

Like the old saying."What's mine is mine and what's is is mine". That is what my wife told me 40 years ago. Yep, been married to each other for 40 years.

If on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the folks who cry when they get a paper cut, and 10 being limbs whacked off, where do you rate?
I was wondering if I have turned into a whiner nowadays. I have bone spur growth at L4 and L5 (again) pressing against my spinal cord causing constant pain in my hips and right leg down to my foot. I had surgery for this four yrs ago, and it's back again. Can't even get to see surgeon til mid June, and the pain has been getting worse daily. I am now using a cane most days, and popping vicadon, and ibuprofen 2-3 times a day.
Anyway, I have always been about a 7 on the scale, having always worked very physical jobs, and pain was just part of the job, but now, retired, and 63 yrs, seems to be getting harder to deal with. Oh well, can't do anything about it, just wait and see what the Doc says in a few weeks.
OK, through venting,....must be the meds........:(

Ouch! I feel for you. I've had some back problems and turn into a whiny baby whenever they flair up. Hope you can get things fixed up soon.

[OldLincoln]

I've always had a high tolerance for pain with the exception of my herniated lumbar discs pressing on the spinal nerves when I do something to squeze the disc jelly out. I don't moan or scream but get the shakes and sweat a bit in silence. A bone spur in that place would be quite painful. Can't they remove it?

[Bawanna]

Where do you go to see a doc JImbar. I was crushed, bruised and abraided at the L2-3 level. I'm fortunate in that it doesn't hurt except when I'm constantly bent over like this weekend trying to do what normal guys do without thought.
The downfall of the no pain is cosmetic legs which while pretty as ever are pretty much only for decoration.

Maybe you need to come down to Everett or even Seattle. There's no reason to have to wait that long to see a doctor especially if your popping those pills. Stay drug free my friend.

Also I've learned that you are your own best doctor. If the sawbones ain't doing what you feel is right in your own mind, tell him so, make him explain himself. If you don't get the right answers look for a new doc.

Yeah, that's what they did before. The surgeon removes excess bone from around spinal cord, relieving pressure, then I'm ok for a few more yrs,....hopefully.

I thought this was pretty interesting, not something I would want to try.

This is a helicopter landing on a ship with high wind.
Imagine catching up to a ship moving into the wind
at 20kts with a gusty 30 knot headwind
and gusts moving over the cabin at 50+
gusting to 60 or Stopping
and pitching up and down 15' or more,
these pilots have their work cut out for them,
syncing these movements is just about impossible,
and this is just a test to see if the machine is capable.

Jimbar, I don't know if you enjoy alcoholic beverages or not, but beware of mixing them with the vicodin, or anything else with tylenol (APAP) in it. It will give you a nice buzz, but the problem is that mixing tylenol with alcohol is very toxic to your liver. My level 10 pain is a kidney stone, and my vicodin days are long gone. I have degenerative disk disease and bone spurs in my neck, and If I get much beyond a 6 I take my pain meds. I see no use in trying to be manly and enduring the pain when relief is close at hand. I'm on a lot stronger poison these days since my tolerence went up. Try taking a week or two off the vicodin and try something like tramadol for the pain. It will help keep you tolerence down and keeps the vicodin more effective. That worked pretty well for me for few years, until things got out of hand. My Dr. says he's seen more people screwed up by surgeons with my conditions, than he seen good results, so he'd rather manage the pain. I have two close friends that surgeons screwed up bad and have to take more pain meds now than before the surgery, and 1 that actually got some relief, so I tend to agree with my Dr. Anyway, just wanted to mention about taking a break from the pain med now and then to keep your tolerence down.

I go to a Dr in Bellingham, he did the surgery 4 yrs ago, and it seemed to work. He told me at the time the problem could come back, and I guess he was right. It's mildly invasive surgery, 3-4 inch incision, go in in the morning, go home in the afternoon.
I never was too much on taking drugs. Even now, sometimes I go all day without, then remember at night, hey, I've got pain meds! They are only moderately successful anyway.
I may have to call and see if I can get in sooner, maybe someone cancelled or something.

No worries, no heavy hitter here, I may have a cold beer twice a week, or maybe a Captain Morgan and coke, but not frequently, and not after taking pain meds.

Thought this was kind of interesting and put things in a little different persepctive. Thought provoking at the very least.



Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:

Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
You may only spend it.
Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:

The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, it’s over, the game is over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right?
Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?
Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY, this GAME is REALITY!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.
What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.
Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.

Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day.

Start spending.

P.S. That's 1,440 minutes per day.

"He" can't give milk!:rolleyes:

Just thought I'd point that out. I wasn't raised entirely in the country, but I did experience milking a cow. The HE's don't give milk and raw milk looks really yukky with bits of grass and stuff in it. I'll stick with ULTRA-Pasteurized Lactose-free (and non-fat) milk that's good for about 10 weeks or more.

Ick! Grass and stuff! :eek:

[Bawanna]

The grass is ok, it's the stuff that'll kill ya.

I spent some time under a cow. I'll side with Wynn and get the ultra pasturized fake stuff that probably never saw a cow.

Some really like the cream on top of the milk pail. I never could acquire a taste for it myself and me and milk dont get along now days at all so it's no great loss to me.

[wyntrout]

I always wondered how cows can have three stomachs and all... and still there were bits of grass! And, yeah, it's the stuff that can kill ya. :D

Cows are not clean, either, with no self-cleaning after bodily functions of the messy kind. If you've ever seen an actual dairy(or documentary) and how gross the teats and udders can look AFTER the rinse off before insertion into the milking device, you would appreciate the pasteurization even more... and think about how you might not have a thirst for any more milk!!:puke:

Wynn:D

[melissa5]

I don't drink a lot of milk...mostly for cooking and my coffee. What did people do before pasteurization?

[pm9fan]

Just a thought on Bawana's post above on how many seconds we are allocated per day.

Recently re-read Bruce Siddell's book "Sharpening the Warrior's Edge" and he notes the Samurai warrior believed when he went out in the morning, this was the day he was going to die.

In the human condition (Christian, Sheepdog, Father, Mom, ...perspective), what would you change in your daily encounters if you thought like the Samurai and today was the day.

Thought exercises are free and usually do not fatigue the user.

[Bawanna]

I don't drink a lot of milk...mostly for cooking and my coffee. What did people do before pasteurization?

We cleaned the cows first but I imagine they still drank alot of grass and stuff.

We ate and drank alot of "stuff" in the old days that now days wouldn't be considered revolting and unhealthy yet we're all still here.
Lead paint, we survived. NO seatbelts, helmets, GFI outlets. We got through.
Less government agencies, less lawyers, more common sense.

The list could go on and on. If you saw some of the stuff that a pig eats you'd give up pork for sure.

[Bawanna]

Pretty quiet around here this morning. I'm covered in Micarta sawdust or actually router bit dust. MW, so far so good. Dang this stuff is dusty, fine, goes everywhere.

Lets stir the pot. Reckon Kahr will ever come out with a 25?

Maybe a 460 S&W on a PM frame?

Could be hot sellers. Ok I'm back into the dust bin, making it happen. Gotta make my minutes count while SWMBO is gone, course I got a list of stuff to be done when she returns too, not the least of which is making myself look like I'm not Dusty. Might have to swap screen names with Dusty.

Ok bye

Have looked into using a proxy server. Haven't decided on one as of now but will try to get one that does not have too much junk on it.

Out in the morning before the BGs are up and back in daylight. Where I'm going is pretty quiet the majority of the time, so no real problems. Stay in alert condition just about all of the time though (except when sleeping!)

I grew up on a farm, and drank whole milk all my younger days. Mom would take the pail of milk straight from the cow and strain it thru a clean towel put it in jars and put it in the "icebox" it was a fridge but we called it the icebox still. I remember I wouldn't drink the stuff my cousins in town called "milk", it tasted like colored water. The cats would all line up and dad would squirt about 5 or 6 squirts in the pail then squirt one into the barn cats mouths, it was hilarious to watch those cats jockey for the best position. And that stuff made the best ice cream too.
I don't remember anyone ever getting sick from it either. Finally when I went to school I learned to gag down that stuff they called milk. YUCK.

[TheTman]

I was eating lunch on the 20th of February when a man in the booth next to mine, with his 10-year-old Granddaughter asked her, "What day is tomorrow?"

She said "It's President's Day!"

She is a smart kid.

He asked "What does President's Day mean?"

I was waiting for her to say something about Washington or Lincoln ... etc.

She replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment."

You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose.

[crazymailman]

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the wife.

“They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans” he replies.

“Put them back, we can't afford them” demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the husband.

“It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: “So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.”




He never knew what hit him.

[Bawanna]

This true story just in. I have no way to verify but I saw the scratch marks etc.

One of our guys was just cruising thru one of our city parks. Kind of a wooded area with a gravel drive near a river. Nice hot sunny day. Has his window all the way down.
He's slowly driving down this park entrance lane and a dog, described as a Pittbull/Lab mix out of no where comes running up and jumps right in the car window. He saw it coming and fended it off with his left arm as it was trying to bite his face off, sped up and turned and was able to push the dog back out the window.

Weirdest thing I ever heard of. Dog must hate cops huh?

No dogs were injured or killed during this incident. Not sure what if anything will happen. Owner was contacted.

This dog does not like police cars.

Wow, that plate would make a heck of a karate chop. Are they going to take it out? My wife had similar in her ankle and they left both plates in. Now she doesn't want them messing with it but a couple screws are backing out.

[mightymouse]

Screws backed out 1 year ago on my partial fusion. My neighbors think I just wear casts months on end for sympathy. I feel for your wife. Hope they have settled in.

No, it stays along with a life time of hand screenings from TSI. Just hope they have warm hands.

Nah, she bumps them occasionally with a loud yelp and a little blood. I keep thinking they will simply split open someday. The doc doesn't seem to want to just make a tiny slit and unscrew it - that's the hangup.

After losing my father to cancer, and having my own problems, I try and stay on top of cancer treatment options. There is some good information on the page that you can read instead of watching the video. This is a rather long video at an hour and 48 minutes, but may be of interest to some of us.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/06/11/burzynski-the-movie.aspx

I found it interesting in how much time and energy the FDA spent trying to keep this info buried and to discredit the Dr. that came up with this. That info can be found on the page without watching the video. Just shows the lengths that the FDA and Big Pharmacutical companies will go through to keep the money rolling into Big Pharmas bottomless pockets.

I didn't see anyplace asking for money or trying to sell anything, I believe they are just trying to get the word out on how the FDA works against our well being, and works to protect the big companies. Just thought I'd share, since cancer affects so many people, and has touched the lives of some of us.

My son hung some extremely loud and very cool looking air horns on my lawn mower the other night. Was hoping to liven up the neighborhood today but alas it was raining all day so I hung out in the man cave. It was a good day.

Check em out.

A wiser man than me taught me how to take a picture with my cell phone and what stuff to get so I could do something with the pictures I took.

Heres a couple shots of my moderately prepared cubicle ammo supply.

These really are waiting to be distributed to the real men and women of my department, I just get to hold em and dream for just a little while.

I don't mind telling ya I'm feeling pretty gosh darn technological lately. Won'te be long and I might be able to set the clock on the micro wave.

Somebody here has one of these on order or was picking one up? Can't remember who it was?

I'm thinking this would be the perfect accessory for a wheelchair or a riding lawn mower in a proper scabbard.

I'd like the 45LC but I think this person was getting the 357. Just wondering if they got it and how they liked it.

Way less than half what a Puma cost. Not sure how one goes about shooting it with no buttstock and the big loop lever seems useless but incredibly cool looking so we'll keep that.

I have a Puma 92 look alike with an octogon barrel in 45LC. This would make a perfect running mate, don't ya think.

No it wasn't. You left a few people out! (Like all of the foreign aid recipients)

Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to tell the truth like that? :D

[Bawanna]

Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to tell the truth like that? :D

What would be awesome would be to tell the truth like that and have it make a difference.
Like our measely little city council, they wonder why no one comes to their meetings and provides input. I've told some of the individual councilmen and the mayor, your gonna do whatever you want to do anyhow, why waste time suggesting something else.
If your messing up we just wait for your replacement and hope they do better.

Sho nuff! You rock nephew. I searched and searched for that but must not have asked the right questions.

I'm ready to call one of those my own hopefully pretty soon.

[MikeyKahr]

They do look very neat, and it would be quite the companion for you. As for me and my pile of pennies, there's a few other more critical companions to purchase first. But since you already have those companions, go for it!

Can't never have enough companions nephew. Whats next on your critical list?

[MikeyKahr]

Next on the list is something that I can reach out and touch....something. Mrs. MK is not ready for me to bring home an AR-15 (or the like) quite yet. Maybe one day, but that day is not here yet (I'm a realist). She likes wood and steel - I knew she was a good girl when I decided to marry her!! I'm currently drooling over 1894s. The new Marlins coming out look nice, waiting to get my hands on one and give them a go.

MT. VERNON, TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES LOCAL CHURCH over LIGHTNING STRIKE!



Drummond's Bar began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their business.

In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the bar from expanding with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground!

After the bar burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer," until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church ... "was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means."

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.

The judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not."

True story.

Posted for entertainment purposes only. I'm sure he's got a prefabricated bald face lie to cover this already concocted.


I have no idea how true any of this is but it’s certainly interesting and worth
giving it some thought !











The Plot Thickens



An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, emigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) in or about March 1977.

Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut. Because of that, his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut residents.

Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!

Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii, where he died.

Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.

The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, and because he never received Social Security benefits there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.

The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwig’s Connecticut SSN for Obama.

Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue of Barry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, because they will have no way of defending Obama.

Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "natural born" there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else's SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.

[melissa5]

I'm pretty sure O is a spawn of the devil. Remember "The Omen" where the antichrist was born from a Jackal? Could be life imitating art. :rolleyes:

Bawanna, that was a great story about the beer joint and the church. LOL!

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE
WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.


George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me."

Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available."

George said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both; the dogs are eating them right now" and he hung up.

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

'Haha', George replied, "and I thought you said everyone was busy!"

Wrong E-Mail Address
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2005

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in.

I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!!!! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P. S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!

[jeepster09]

Once upon a time, a Army helicopter pilot asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?”

The Princess said “NO!!”

So the pilot lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles, made many deployments, got good promotions and duty stations and made love to skinny big-breasted broads and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to men's clubs and dated women half his age and drank Whiskey, Beer, Tequila, Rum, did shooters and Flaming Hookers and hosed cheerleaders, almost movie stars, barmaids and kept his house and guns and never got cheated on while he was at work or on a deployment and all his friends and family thought he was friggin' cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank, never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony, farted, and left the toilet seat up.

The End :59:

One Last Thing...
A guy is at the Pearly Gates, hoping to be admitted, and St. Peter says to the guy, 'I can't see that you did anything really good in your life, but you never did anything bad either. I tell you what, if you can tell me one really good deed that you did, you're in.'

So the guy says, 'Once I was driving down the road and saw a gang of bikers assaulting this poor girl. So I pulled over, got out of my car, grabbed a tire iron and walked straight up to the gang's leader--a huge ugly guy with a studded leather jacket, bald head but with hair all over his body, and a chain running from his nose to his ear.

Undaunted, I ripped the chain out of his nose and ear and smashed him over the head with the tire iron. Then I turned around and, wielding my tire iron, yelled to the rest of them, 'You leave this poor, innocent lady alone! You're all a bunch of sick, deranged animals! Go home before I teach you all a lesson in pain!'

Impressed, St. Peter says, 'Really? I can't seem to find this in your file. When did this happen?'

'Oh, I'd say about two minutes ago.' :eek:

Doctors versus Gun Owners

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.
Now think about this:

Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately nine thousand (9,000) times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT Almost everyone has at least one doctor.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than a gun owner!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on Lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention !!!

A man is sitting at home alone when he hears a knock on the front door.
There are two sheriff's deputies there; he asks if there is a problem.
One of the deputies asks if he is married, and if so, can he see a picture of his wife.
The guy says, "Sure", and shows him a picture of his wife. The sheriff says, "I'm sorry sir, but it looks like your wife's been hit by a truck."
The guy says, " I know, but she has a great personality and is an excellent cook. "

[MW surveyor]

When my wife had to rush to the hospital unexpectedly, she asked me to bring her a few items from home. One item on her list was "comfortable underwear."

Not sure what she considers comfortable, I asked, "How will I know which ones to pick?"


"Hold them up and imagine them on me," she answered. "If you smile, put them back."

God
said, "Adam, I
want you to do
something for
Me."


Adam said, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?"


God said, "Go down into that valley."


Adam said, "What's a valley?"

God explained it to him. Then God said, "Cross the river."

Adam said, "What's a river?"

God explained that to him, and then said, "Go over to the hill...."

Adam said, "What is a hill?"


So, God explained to Adam what a hill was. He told Adam, "On the other side of the
hill you will find a cave."


Adam said, 'What's a cave?'

After God explained, He said, "In the cave you will find a woman."


Adam said, "What's a woman?'

So God explained that to him, too. Then, God said, 'I want you to reproduce."

Adam said, "How do I do that?"

God first said (under His breath), "Geez......"

And then, just like everything else, God explained that to Adam, as well.

So, Adam goes down into the valley, across the river, and over the hill,
into the cave, and finds the woman.

Then, in about five minutes, he was back.

God, His patience wearing thin, said angrily, "What is it now?"

And Adam said.....

Saw this in another gun forum. Cop forgets rifle on back of patrol car - drives off:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43567848/ns/local_news-seattle_wa/?gt1=43001

[Bawanna]

The officer was cleaning or reorganizing the trunk of his patrol car. He put the rifle on a patrol car parked behind his which happened to be a Leutenants car. She actually drove several blocks apparently slow enough and easy enough that it didn't fall off. She no doubt didn't even know it was there obviously.

They of course (the media) are making a big deal out of it. Could happen to anyone. It's of course not a good thing and a lesson should be learned but not a huge deal.

Fortunately a passerby pointed it out to a couple bicycle cops who secured it.

Seeing officers doing something and then getting a call and out the door they fly, you never know whats gonna happen.

I hate it when they leave guns laying around on desk, quite often loaded while they reaarange a duty belt or similar task. Too many people walking through to be doing that.

I started my new job this week and am loving it. :D I talked to the owner's wife and there is a good possibility that I could go full time in few months, so I decided not to apply for the gun shop job. I probably would have spent all my money in there anyway. :p

[jocko]

about 20 years ago an ol ol man was hunting around my area and when he got done,he set his shotgun on the top of the car to put his cloths away etc, and drove off with it on there and, he never seen that gun againj. He was sick about it. He run adds in our local paper with reward etc and never heard a word.

About the gun left on the car.... I recall years ago a mother left her infant in the car seat on top of the car. Angels must have been on high because once again somebody got her slowed and stopped without a ruffle to said baby. If a 3 years old it would have been saying "more mommy!" I've lost some coffee that way and had a soft sided briefcase make a short trip. Had my car been clean I would have lost it for sure.

So it does happen!

A man was dining alone in a fancy restaurant and there was a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table..He had been checking her out since he sat down, but lacked the nerve to talk with her.
********************
Suddenly she sneezed, and her glass eye came flying out of its socket towards the man. He reflexively reached out, grabbed it out of the air, and handed it back.

'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman said, as she popped her eye back in place. 'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.'
**********************
They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and after wards they went to the theater followed by drinks... They talked, they laughed, she shared her deepest dreams and he shared his. She listened to him with interest.
*************************
After paying for everything, she asked him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
************************
The next morning, she cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy was amazed. Everything had been so incredible!
*************************
'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman.. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?'

'No,' she replies 'You just happened to catch my eye.' :banplease:
