Welcome Friends, foes and associates to the completely remodeled Free Republic...
Smoker's Lounge
Here you will find a comfy place to smoke, drink, joke or whatever. We always have a great time, so sit back, relax and...
Here are a couple of items to make all smile.
-----------------
The Shoe
One evening after work, a man drove his secretary home after she had a little too much to drink at a party.
Although nothing happened, he decided not to mention it to his wife.
Later that night, the man and his wife were driving to a movie when he spotted a high-heeled shoe hidden under the passenger seat.
Pointing to something out the passenger window to distract his wife, he picked up the shoe and tossed it out of his window.
They arrived at the theater a short time later and were about to get out of the car when his wife asked, "Honey, have you seen my other shoe?"
------------------------
The successful lawyer
A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Jaguar XK-8 in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.
As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the driver's door of the Jag.
The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone and dialed 911.
In less than five minutes, a policeman pulled up. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically.
His Jag, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you high rolling lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Didn't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
"OH MY GOD," screamed the lawyer, "My Rolex!!!!"
--------------------------
As you may know ... some password protected sites require a password that is at least 6 characters long. With that bit of trivia out of the way .... - - - - - - - here's one for the ladies...
The Password
A female computer consultant was helping a smug male set up his computer.
She asked him what word he would like to use as a password to log in with.
Wanting to embarrass the female, he told her to enter "penis".
Without blinking or saying a word, she entered the password.
She almost died laughing at the computer's response:
"Password rejected. Not long enough."

What the heck is PSAKP and FORCES?
PSAKP is this dorks acronym for anyone who disagrees that smoking in the presence of anyone that does not smoke is not abuse and if the non-smokier is a child the worst form of child abuse known to man. it stands for pro-smoking around kids people.
FORCES is an international grassroots organization devoted to stopping the madness. Fight Ordinances and Restrictions to Curtail and Eliminate Smoking.
FORCES is completely and totally member supported and has no ties to the tobacco industry - no matter what the anti-smoker organizations try to convince people.
<a href ="http://www.forces.org:>FORCES website</a><P> Just popping back in - if this info was already posted - my apologies!!!
max, do you remember who first did that - or was it you??? That would not surprise me.
