I think that might be a little too much immersion for me. It actually isnt the ill-fated Costa Concordia thats pictured on the front of the brochure. Its sister ship Costa Fascinosa. But inside Im encouraged to book a seven-night western Mediterranean cruise on the Costa Concordia between Feb. 25 and Oct. 29. Prices start at $749 and Im eligible to enjoy a $50 onboard credit. I think I might spend that on an aqualung. When you choose Costa cruises, the brochure explains, you dont just see Europe you live it. I called American Express and a representative explained that it takes between six and eight weeks from when a brochure is put into creative to when it reaches mailboxes, making it too late to pull the mailing. Obviously that offer is not valid, she said. The cruise does sound nice, though. Passengers can relax in the dazzling casino, savor a gourmet spa menu, indulge in a Turkish steam bath or just linger on a spacious teak sun deck and savor la dolce vita. Dont linger too long, though. The lifeboats are waiting.
Nice start, thanks
A guy traveling through Mexico on vacation lost his wallet and all of his
identification. Cutting his trip short, he attempted to make his way home
but was stopped by the U.S. Customs Agent at the border.
“May I see your identification, please?” asked the agent.
“I’m sorry, but I lost my wallet,” replied the guy.
“Sure buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no entry,” said the agent.
“But I can prove I’m an American!” he exclaimed. “I have a picture of
Ronald Reagan tattooed on one side of my butt and George Bush
on the other.”
“This I gotta see,” replied the agent.
With that, the guy dropped his pants and showed the agent his behind.
“By golly, you’re right!” exclaimed the agent. “Have a safe trip back to
Chicago.”
Thanks!” he said. “But how did you know I was from Chicago?”
The agent replied, “I recognized Obama in the middle.”

The IRS sent my tax return back because in response to the
instruction,
“List all dependents”, I replied:
12 million illegal immigrants, 3 million crack heads;
42 million unemployable people on food stamps,
2 million people in over 243 prisons and
535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.
Apparently, this is NOT an acceptable answer.
An old man walks into the barbershop for a shave and a haircut, but he tells
the barber he can’t get all his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled
from age. The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and
tells him to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin. When he’s
finished, the old man tells the barber that was the cleanest shave he’s had
in years. But he wanted to know what would have happened if he had swallowed
that little ball. The barber replied: “Just bring it back tomorrow like
everyone else does”.

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Doctor once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical
needs arise.
For this he pays nothing and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much
larger than he needs and he is not required to do any upkeep..
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever..
All of his costs are picked up by
others who go out and earn a living every day.

A lady walks into a drug store and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide.
The pharmacist said, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”
The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband.
The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, “Lord have mercy, I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license, they’ll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely NOT! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”
Then the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “Well now, you didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”
