I’m just doing a little “free-association” writing here.
Here are some of the things you think about when you are living in the Florida Keys when you realize it’s the last day of May and Summer is really here;
This the first day of the Hurricane Season, so for some reason, whenever the news people say there is a storm coming, those horrific news photos of Hurricanes striking land pop into your mind.
Our politicians today are a privileged group of self-serving individuals that would not hesitate to sell anyone down the river to get what they want.
One of the problems we have today is the fact that the two political parties have polarized themselves so far to the two extremes of ideology (liberal and conservative) that they have become ineffective and basically in need of being replaced by people who believe in the goals of our original government; to serve the people, and not just themselves.
Why am I Sad?
Why am I Mad?
Why do I want to just………..
WELL,
i’ve had this Cold for 3 damn days!
with a nose so Red I could lead Santa’s Sleigh!
My lungs are so congested
just breathing sounds
like gravel
rattling in an old tin can.
And my joints don’t just ache,
they throb ….. with each breath I take.
Hey, I was just thinking:.
There is far too much censorship in our world these days, and someone sent this to me in an email.
At first, I laughed and then I almost deleted it as being “too insensitive”.
But then I realized I was thinking this way, not out of concern for the people around the world who call themselves “Muslim’s”, but out some distorted “fear” of my perceptions of them, and (of course) I was swayed to some degree by what those (mysterious) radical terrorist factions might do, either to me or to others.
Well, that’s a problem in our society these days, this distortion of public opinion driven mostly by our press.
So, I am sharing this email with you, out of a sense that everyone in America really is equal. And that equality includes their having to be joked about, just like the rest of us in this country.
We Americans are a fantastic amalgam of races, religions and ethnicities. And. we all have something that someone can make fun of. In my America, People who call themselves “Muslims” deserve no more special treatments than anyone else in my America, so here goes.
Oh, and if you do have some perverted sense that you are so special that you should not be exposed to our American sense of equality, including our humor, then do not read the rest of this posting.
But, you might want to think about why you are here, sharing our great society, in the first place.
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington?
And, they tracked her calves to their stalls.
But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country.
Maybe we should give each of them a cow?
Funny Guys
A wife asks her husband, “Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get 6.
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, “Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?”
He replied, “They had avocados.”
If you’re a woman, I’m sure you’re going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time. My work is done here.
Marry an outdoors woman.
Then, if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive.
-W. C. Fields –US actor, 1880-1946
Irish Court case
The judge says to a double-homicide defendant,
“You’re charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer.”
The Defendants friend, Paddy sitting at the back of the courtroom yells out, “You bastard!”
The judge looks up and frowns at the courtroom and continues with,
“You’re also charged with beating your mother-in-law to death with a hammer.”
Again Paddy yells out, “You rotten bastard!”
The judge stops and says to Paddy in the back of the courtroom.
“Sir, I can understand your anger and frustration at these crimes,
but no more outbursts from you, or I’ll charge you with contempt. Is that understood?”
Paddy stands up and says,
“I’m sorry, Your Honour, but for fifteen years
I’ve lived next door to that arsehole,
and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn’t have one.
