A followup

George  Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and
go to hell.  While there, they spy a red phone and ask what
the phone is  for.

The devil  tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Putin
asks to  call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is
finished,  the devil informs him that the cost is a million
dollars, so  Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen  Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes.
When she is  finished, the devil informs her that the cost
is 6 million  dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally  George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours.
Whenhe is  finished, the devil informs him that the cost is
$5.00.

When Putin  hears this, he goes ballistic and asks the devil
why Bush  got to call the USA so cheaply. The devil smiles
and replies,  since Obama took over, the country's gone to
hell, so it's a local  call."

My favorite post from 2013

It's this one

I made an effort to repost it
It was driving me more nuts
It's about control don'tcha know

The post was before Sully got all famous as a writer for a buncha different newspapers and magazines
...and it was about him anyway

Why We Need Gun Control

A man walked  into his crowded local bar, waved a revolver around and  yelled,
 "Who in here  has been screwing my wife?"

A voice from  the back of the bar yelled back, "You're gonna need more  ammo!"

Let this be the last of this

...and then I saw...

To the best of my knowledge this is not an impersonator

nor is it photoshopped

I would bet, though, there is a reasonable explanation

I wonder if they'll settle the issue before St Patrick's Day

No I don't

Close encounters of the turkey kind

The Old AF Sarge wrote a post about turkey encounters the other day
Just by coincidence I am able to provide some information about turkey encounters here in the Golden State
Even better... it's video.

This one's relatively tame


This one's a tad scarier


The really scary thing about the videos is those are urban areas where the birds can't be hunted
At least out here in the boon tules (pronounced toolies) turkeys remain in hiding because they are fair game
Lord help the city folk if the coyotes and mountain lions find out about the city birds

I was gonna title it Who're You

That post I wrote the other day
This one
The one I wrote because the Cranky old Man tagged me

Then I looked at it in black and white...
...without an apostrophe

I don't know what's going on
But there are lots of old posts getting views... even comments
What gets hits and what doesn't
I sure don't have an answer
But, it sure is nice to be appreciated... even six months later

If I'd discover this soon enough, I'd have put it up yesterday

Think about it

Become a Democrat

Medicare Part G

You're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you. So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need!
Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered.
As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It’s the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

And you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you are at it.
Plus, you might not have to pay income taxes anymore.


Is this a great country or what? "

Say what!

Decision making

I had a hard time deciding about today's post at first.
I really didn't want to put this one up (unless I couldn't find anything else):

Did you know this about bats?

The newsletter from, "The Texas Gardener Seeds" said:

Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals. Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly, and bats are less likely to be rabid than dogs are.

Need another reason?

Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the seed dispersal essential to the regeneration of forests.
Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures.
Here are three from the Bat Family...

Then I found this, tamer and less inflammatory ...yes?

Finally, though, I found this:

Dorothy and Edna, two 'senior' widows, are talking.

Dorothy: ''That nice George Johnson asked me out for a date.
I know you went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him before I give him my answer.''

Edna: ''Well, I'll tell you. He shows up at my apartment punctually at 7 P.M., dressed like such a gentleman in a fine suit, and he brings me such beautiful flowers!!! Then he takes me downstairs, and what's there but a luxury car...A limousine, uniformed chauffeur and all. Then he takes me out for dinner... A marvelous dinner... Lobster,champagne, dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Then we go see a show. Let me tell you, Dorothy, I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure!!! So then we are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL!!! Completely crazy ... he tears off my expensive NEW dress and has his way with me two times!!!''

Dorothy: ''Goodness gracious!!! ... So you are telling me I shouldn't go out with him???''

Edna: ''No, no, no... I'm just saying ... WEAR AN OLD DRESS"!!!

What's missing?

This one... not so much

The United States is fighting terrorism - one snow cone at a time.

Montcalm County recently received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine.

The West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission (WMSRDC) is a federal- and state-designated agency responsible for managing and administrating the homeland security program in Montcalm County and 12 other counties.

The WMSRDC recently purchased and transferred homeland security equipment to these counties - including 13 snow cone machines at a total cost of $11,700.

I'm speechless

This is the story

This is really one of those feel good stories that just leaves a lump in ya throat..!! A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stopped. The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?" "I'm going to commit suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity so he asked... "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?" So she does... And it was a long, deep lingering kiss. After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl......"
