****The Official Friday Silliness Thread****

Posted on 05/23/2008 6:08:49 AM PDT by Lucky9teen

Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 9 p.m. US Eastern time. Another tradition is to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers place an American flag upon each gravesite located in a National Cemetery. The U.S. Air Force's "101 Critical Days of Summer" begin on this day as well. Some Americans use Memorial Day to also honor any family members who have died, not just servicemen.

       

In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events. Some Americans also view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

The national "Click It or Ticket" campaign ramps up beginning Memorial Day weekend, noting the beginning of the most dangerous season for auto accidents and other safety related incidents.


On that note.... since the cost of gas is so dang high anyway,

it's probably not a bad idea to stay home and celebrate the holiday....

So let's kick of the 3 day weekend with some silliness....
And remember all those who have died for this great country!  God Bless you all and Thank You.

How did the truck get over the rear left fender without damaging it much? Did it jump a ramp to get in like that?

Also, how much beer was involved? Where the phrases, “Watch this” or “What could go wrong” uttered just before this happened? Most important, how do you explain this to your soon to be ex-wife?

None of the above. It looks like the work of a tornado.

A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married. She went on and on: feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand up, embraced and kissed her passionately on the lips as her husband watched with raised eyebrows.

The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?”

The husband thought for a moment and replied, “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I golf.

Wow...except for the cars being doubled up, that garage doesn't look too different from ours as a result of the Northridge earthquake...

One important lesson learned from that: regarding your earquake kit (big plastic tub), do NOT store the water jugs in the same tub as the gallon jugs of water....sigh

Not that I ever expect to need it, but could you clarify that?

I read that as, don't store water with water.
Or is it, don't store water jugs with water jugs?
What?
