A guy visiting in Hawaii fell asleep on the beach several hours and got a horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs. He went to the hospital, and was promptly
admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns.

With his skin already starting to blister, and in the pain he was in,the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a Viagra pill every four hours.

The nurse, who was rather astounded, asked, 'What good will Viagra do for him, Doctor’?

The doctor replied, 'It won't do anything for his condition, but it’ll keep the sheets off his legs.'

Just got this in an email from my buddy, Wynn:D





The Chicken and the Horse.
On the farm lived a chicken and a horse,
both of whom loved to play together.


One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.

Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the
farmer for help!

Off the chicken ran, back to the farm.. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor.

Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley.

Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.

Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.

After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse!

Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.

The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.

A few weeks later, the chicken fell in to a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!

The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.

Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thingy and he would then lift him out of the pit.

The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story?
(yep, you betcha, there is a moral!)

The Harley is useful for giving "ladies" a ride, but MOSTLY nothing you'd want to take home to mother, and many you don't wanna take home period. Once in awhile you get lucky and meet a fine lady.
This is condidered by many to be the prettiest bike Harley ever made.

I was a car salesman back in the mid-70's (my mid-20's), and there were no customers one afternoon. So, 3 of us salesmen were standing around shooting the bull. We were talking about sports interests. One guy named Ron played league softball. The other guy was a country romeo with dark blonde hair and green eyes. I asked him what kind of sports he was into. He said, "Oh, I specialize in indoor sports. You know: stink finger and grab arss!" :eek: :o I was a recently born again Christian and kind of innocent, so that one caught me off guard!

I definately aggree. your daughter is very pretty Bawanna. You must be very proud of her. And you look quite the distinguished gentleman.

TusconMTB, yes indeed I still have that Harley. It's a 92 model, and I'm learning how to do quite a bit of wrenchin on it. I blew the motor couple years ago so sent it in to HD for a factory rebuild. Various articles I've read about their rebuild shop made me choose to go rebuilt rather than a new S&S or other name brand motor.
I had on a full face helmet on and the chin bar blocked my view of the warning light without tilting my head down, and hadn't checked the oil pressure guage for a few minutes, and I started hearing some noise and shut her down but was too late.
I think the oil pump gave out. I hit the off button when I heard unfamilar noises and coasted to the shoulder, and didn't get a look to see if there was oil pressure or not.
Anyway it had too much damage to save so it was off to the rebuild shop.
It's mildy enhanced with .060 shaved off the heads, Mikuni Carb, Andrews EV27 cam, upgraded ignition, and Vance and Hines 2 into 1 pro-pipe (was the number one rated pipe for mildy enhanced motors at the time). I haven't dynoed it but I think I gained around 20 ponies with those mods. Anyway, it keeps up pretty well with some others that have heavily modifed engines, although they are mostly on baggers and pulling a couple hundred pounds more than my bike is. That is my first and probably last Harley, unless I move to trike when I get older. A lot of folks have offered pretty good money, but I can't bring myself to part with it, even though it seems sometimes I turn wrenches on it more than I ride it. It will be 20 next year, and a lot of folks would have traded it years ago, but I just keep fixin it and riding, it's mostly little things that go wrong, so it's not really that bad to keep it running.
I do wish I'd put a 6 speed tranny in it while it was tore down, but wasn't in the budget.

Bawanna
08-01-2011, 04:40 PM
Thats a beauty of a bike and if it was mine I probably wouldn't part with it either, even if I couldn't ride it. Just look cool in the garage.
I tried to get me a Harley head rag when my kid bought his Sportster. Gave him all kinds of free stuff, boots, helmet, a riding suit that shouldn't be caught dead on a Harley but a free dew rag for dad, no way Renee.
I couldn't afford it, I nearly keeled over when I saw the price for a hanky for my head but sure looked fine.

Awesome pics, uncle Bawanna!! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. You looked very....stately, dare I say handsome. Except for the well-hidden slight twinge of "uncomfortableness" due to the penguin suit, but it's all understood as I did the same when I had to dress up in such a contraption. The coach gun on your lap made me envision how you would have been riding shotgun on a covered wagon had you been born in a previous era. I'm so glad that everyone enjoyed the moment (except maybe the son-in-law with the understandable fear-enducing moment!) It was especially nice to see the bride with such a wonderful smile on her face. I know she must be so very thankful for everything you and aunt "Swedey" did for her all those years, and especially on her special day. Thanks for being such a great dad. Yes, it's okay for me to say that....with so many not blessed with great dads these days, great dads should be thanked!!

P.S. I wish I could have been there (invite still has not arrived, what's the deal, USPS!?). I see where cousin JFootin was sitting and see he had a primo seat for the event. Surely the seating chart had me closer in than JFootin, correct? And not behind aunt Peggy as requested and her ghastly hairdo that would have afforded me limited visibility to the festivities. :photo:

I think we've narrowed it down to a typo error on the invitation list. I'm sure the memory of you chugging down that pony keg at the last family reunion has long faded and had no influence on the obvious invite list error.

You really need to visit Aunt Peggy, it's apparently been awhile. She converted to Budism and shaved her head, you think the ghastly do was bad you need to see her now. Theres a definite GAG factor there. I'd not time your visit too soon after a meal.

Emphasis on the fat and the tartare. You have to know it was'nt my idea nor my design on the 2010 card. It was off the rack, just seemed to fit. How Hallmark got that picture is still a mystery to me to this day. You know technology, today a simple picture, tomorrow u tube.

No word on that as yet. They are both relatively level headed (no idea where that came from) so I hope they get a little better established before they do the child thing. A life changing event for sure.

I did finally get her to wear shoes most of the time. A little trick I found was to fill em with dirt. She still thinks she's barefoot and it seemed to work out pretty good.

I'm still working on mom, she don't get along too good with shoes.

Bawanna if you want a Harley Davidson head wrap, sometimes I can get them at the flea market for a lot less the at the HD (aka Hundred Dollar) store. I'll pick one up for you next time I'm down there. 5-10 bucks maybe. I need some new padded shorty gloves, so need to head down that way anyway. I'll see what I can find. If you'd rather have a HD baseball type cap, I have a dark blue one with the HD logo on it a don't wear much, it's too big for my head. Say the word and it's yours. I'll wash it first of course, not that it's been worn much. I bought it down quick mart in Arkansas for 10. And I've got my 10 bucks use out of it, so say the word and it will be in the mail.

You rock dude. The Hundred Dollar store is a perfect description. In fact the head wrap I was looking at was about a 100, might of been less but seemed like a hundred. They had a nice leather one that was insane too.

I've got my 10 bucks of use out of it, it still looks brand new and is yours if you'd rather have a ball cap type hat. I have plenty others, so no big deal on my end. It's dark blue with the HD bar and sheild logo on it.

I've never been one to turn down a free hat or anything that says Harley.

I've been listening to those wiser and smarter than me around here and have been rotating hats that don't say gun stuff on em. I wear my Glock, Kahr, Beretta and other gun hats all the time.
Been switching to a fishing guide outfit hat (free) that looks good. A Harley hat would fit in real nice in the rotation.

Still gonna fit a head wrap in too. Maybe fasten some pony tails from the back so I look like Jocko with the wind in my face, course the chair only goes about 6 mph with a fresh charge. My manual goes 12 sometimes when I'm feeling good.

Amen brother. I was wearing a hat at my daughters wedding (think it was my Safariland hat) along with my penguin suit till my wife made me take it off. I paid the price for that I did.

Hurts when you do anything, fortunately I don't smile much, happy, just don't smile. It's a curse. Guess maybe I should have had me one of them mohawks the boys sometimes have, might have saved a little for coverage.
Course I can do without the tattooes and body piercings that seem to go along with em.

In hindsight maybe the hat is the better choice.

Dear Abby,
My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and lets our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims. Finally,the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?

I like Mossbergs. I'm not familiar with the "Security". I assume it's a variation of the 500 which is a great shotgun. The price seems very reasonable.

I like the safety and slide release on the Mossberg much better than the 870. Just works better for me.

Dang! I need to sell some of my gold to buy food and stuff!! Crap!! I didn't buy gold... I bought guns and bullets. I guess the value of bullets will go up as things get short.
I should be able to trade one bullet for a loaf of bread, or whatever. Bullets will definitely be more valuable than inflated paper money. Bullets are more versatile, too. One can use them for all kinds of things.

Back in the 70's I got together an ounce or so of gold, including my dad's wedding ring and sold it for $35 an ounce. I hated jewelry, especially rings... never could wear stuff like that... and it's dangerous for most activities... creating shorts in electricity or catching on stuff and keeping you around when you were trying to get down, or out, or away from a deadly situation... costing you at a minimum, a finger, and maybe your life.

Anyhow, right after I sold my gold, they starting letting people buy the stuff and the price shot up to $850 or so!! I had really good timing!:rolleyes:

You Betcha! 10 days and a $25 background check. They used to call it a "cooling off period" but if you "cool off" and change your mind, too bad cause you have still bought and paid for a gun, so they don't call it that now.

I figure this will be the least fired shotgun around as other than a few bird shot rounds and a couple buckshots it won't see much action - at least I hope not.

my two cents. If ur state requires u to produce your mprmit when stopped and in that other part of that pouch is your actual permit, I would think it would be OK, as ur not walking aorund with it hanging off your belt or on your coat. It says what it says and ur permit backs that up

some officers might take some offense to it but here in Indiana we do not have to produce jack sh-t and no BMV report shows u have a ccw permit either...

"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."


"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."


The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"


The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off and I got fitted with a hook, but I'm fine, really."


"What about that eye patch?"


"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them **** in my eye."

thats a good one " ol great on". how about this one

Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous. Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why.

A couple in Sweetwater , Texas , had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.

It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.

She let out a very loud scream.

The husband (who was taking a shower) ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under the sofa.

He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it. About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the behind. He thought the snake had bitten him, so he screamed and fell over on the floor.

His wife thought he had had a heart attack, so she covered him up, told him to lie still and called an ambulance.

The attendants rushed in, would not listen to his protests, loaded him on the stretcher, and started carrying him out.

About that time, the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher. That's when the man broke his leg and why he is still in the hospital.

The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor who volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.

But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa.

The neighbor man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to revive her.

The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.

The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that the snake had bitten him. She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.

By now, the police had arrived.
Breathe here...
They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the women tried to explain how it all happened over a little garden snake!

The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife.

Now, the little snake again crawled out from under the sofa and one of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table. The table fell over, the lamp on it shattered and, as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes.

The other policeman tried to beat out the flames, and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog who, startled, jumped out and raced into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car.

Meanwhile, neighbors saw the burning drapes and called in the fire department. The firemen had started raising the fire ladder when they were halfway down the street. The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires, put out the power, and disconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area (but they did get the house fire out).

Time passed! Both men were discharged from the hospital, the house was repaired, the dog came home, the police acquired a new car and all was right with their world.

A while later they were watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The wife asked her husband if he thought they should bring in their plants for the night.

And that's when he shot her.

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher, and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette . They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard - a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment.They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. 'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.

'Reverend Billy Bob spoke next.. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb.. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus..Hallelujah!

The priest and the reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him.He was in really bad shape.The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, .......circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Jocko, met a man at a barbeque last night that is a rather rugged individual who rides a Harley. He told me what but all I remember is "something something Glide". Anyway he rides to Sturges every year and is quite a story teller. His name is Greg and he is in the sign business so I know you must know him. Chuckle.... He said his bike is getting up there with over 50K miles on it. I thought those would easily go 200K or more.

Probably already posted here a few times... maybe by me, as well!

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo..

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a flock of sheep.

Now give me back my dog.”

Hey B! Although you might get a different reaction, I just told your joke to my wife, who is a brunette.

She laughed so hard that she had tears coming out of the corners of her eyes! :D

A plane is on its way to toronto,



I sent it to my blonde sister and two blonde female friends who travel a lot. The unanimous opinion was that this is the best blonde joke "EVR!"
