Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

As part of their "ranch" holiday, a guy takes his wife hunting. When they reach their deer blinds, the guy says, "If you shoot a deer, be sure you don't let anybody else say he's the one who shot it. Otherwise, he'll take the deer from you. The deer belongs to whoever shoots it." The guy goes to his own blind. Ten minutes later, he hears his wife shooting from her blind nearby. He rushes over and finds her pointing her rifle at a cowboy who's shouting,
"OK, lady, OK! You can have the deer! Just lemme get my saddle off it!"
To: Slip18
See #148, where the Beast is shooting the Byrd.

Did you know he has to wear camo pajamas to sneak up on his wife? No lie.
To: Slip18

Yes, Condi has a strong voice. When we heard her at CPAC, I was surprised too.

To: pankot
LOL, absolutely. I can think of several Senators that we can safely labely Stentor.

To: DainBramage
LOL, Well hello Dain. Are you picking on Ralph again?... or is that "still"?
Long time no see.
To: DainBramage; ralph
"Did you know he has to wear camo pajamas to sneak up on his wife? No lie."Well, Dain, as far as I can recall, he couldn't even shoot a stupid turkey. Remember? He went out one morning to turkey shoot, and came home with nada. He better wear camos to sneak up on the wife.
Missed you, bud!
