CANADIAN JOKE #6

An American, a Scot and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.

"Well," said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St.Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and said that for a donation of $50, we could return to earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $50, and the next thing I knew I was back here."

"That's amazing!" said the one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other two?"

"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay his."

Go figure

I was in my back yard trying to fly a kite.
I threw the kite up in the air, the wind would catch it for a few seconds, then it would come crashing back down to earth.
I tried this a few more times with no success.
All the while, herself is watching from the kitchen window,
Muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.
She opens the window and yelled to me,
'You need a piece of tail.'
I turned with a confused look on my face and said,
'Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite.'

Sure Happy It's Thursday

It has been awhile since we played The Game. Besides, the bin I keep them in is getting full.




...and the one at the top of the page.

I'm taking a pass again

I have figured out that I would rather kibitz on other people's blogs than write my own stuff... at least for now. Besides, it gives me multiple opportunities to add to my collection of verification words, also known as captcha.
I suppose I could cut and paste a joke or two. Lord knows I've received plenty.
Anyway, have a nice day.

Well, I really scewed up that

I had been away for almost the entire month of August. Well, not entirely away, because I periodically found the opportunity to "borrow" a computer and access the Web, mostly to check email. So I looked at the sidebar and see that I managed to post 12 times while I was away. Now I have been back for a week and have managed to post only twice, including this post.

Did I mention

That I am lurking stalking again.
Yippee skippee the vacation's over and it's back to reality... whatever that is.

While I wasn't here, I did check in occasionally and even periodically posted and sometimes even commented on other blogs. I also came to the conclusion that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and I sure do wish they'd leave me alone. I am perfectly capable of making up my own mind and taking care of myself. I have a feeling that there wouldn't be nearly the financial crisis if so many politicians weren't getting paid for for screwups. Darnitall, they should be the last ones to draw a paycheck when things like the economy aren't going right.
I heard this morning that someone wants to improve things for the middle class. Then in almost the same breath said something about letting the stock market wallow in its mess.
Well, somebody ought to remind someone that there are a lot of folks in the middle class... like me... who depend upon stocks, through mutual funds, for their well-being.

Oh, heck! I outta here
