**** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD **** Aug. 9, 2007

Welcome to the
O.F.S.T.
(Official Friday Silliness Thread)

Good morning and welcome to the Silliness!  Lucky9Teen had to be away today and so I'm posting the OFST for her today.  She will be back next week!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Robert Goddard, father of American rocketry, who died in 1945.  Time Magazine proclaimed him a fool for believing that travel in outer space was possible.  I guess some things never change huh?  Goddard proved them wrong on March 16, 1926, when he finished building a spindly, 10-ft. rocket he dubbed Nell, loaded it into an open car and trundled it out to his aunt Effie's nearby farm.  It flew a mere 41 ft. high and the flight lasted only about 2.5 seconds, but with it came the reality of modern space flight.  So Goddard had the last word.

We've all probably known someone who was really smart - I mean book smart.  There was this guy in my Physics class in my senior year.  His name was Sam.  He had perfect grades - 5.0 in all his honors science and math classes.  He was a REAL brainiac.  But one day during Physics class we were all listening to Mrs. Michaels talk about some experiment we were getting ready to do, and Sam went flying off his stool.  It seems that he decided to stick a wire in an electrical outlet and the resulting shock knocked him backwards a few feet and arc welded the circuit.  So here's the question of the day... what's the dumbest thing you've ever seen a really smart person do?

Let the silliness commence!

Harold is 95 and lives in a Senior Citizen Home. Every night after
dinner, Harold goes to a secluded garden behind the center to sit and
ponder his accomplishments and long life. One evening, Mildred, age 87,
wanders into the garden. They begin to chat and before they know it,
several hours have passed .

After a short lull in their conversation, Harold turns to Mildred and
asks, “Do you know what I miss most of all?”

She asks, “What?”

“Sex!!” he replies.

Mildred exclaims, “Why you old fart. You couldn’t get it up if I held a
gun to your head!”

“I know,” Harold says, “but it would be nice if a woman could just hold
it for a while.”

“Well, I can oblige,” says Mildred, who unzips his trousers, removes
his manhood and proceeds to hold it. Afterward, they agree to meet
secretly each night in the garden where they would sit and talk and
Mildred would hold Harold’s manhood.

Then one night Harold didn’t show up at their usual meeting place.
Alarmed, Mildred decided to find Harold and make sure he was okay. She
walked around the Senior Citizen Home where she found him sitting by the
pool with Ethel, another female resident, who was holding Harold’s
manhood!

Furious, Mildred yelled, “You two-timing creep! What does Ethel have
that I don’t have?”

Old Harold smiled happily and replied, “Parkinson’s.”

Polyethylene bromide sounds like fun, until one sees what it does.
Though I'm certain plain leather would work for most purposes. (Porpoises!)

[squishy]

Yeah, he’s always confusing Krazy Glue for Astroglide.

[Darksheare]

Rather surprising to discover.

An old one, but good (and true):

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.

Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.” The man said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honour and glorify me.”

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, “Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”

The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”
