THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD

[Lucky9teen]

Blatherskites, mark this day on your calendar. For today is Babbling Day. This isn't a day to remain silent. Tell everyone you know about this special day.

What's all the chatter about over this special day? Well, on Babbling Day, we celebrate those of us with a glib tongue. You know them when you hear them. They're talking gibberish. They never stop talking. They babble on and on. They can turn a simple one sentence statement into an endless dissertation.


Spend this day babbling like a baby, if you must. As for me, I will spend it by a babbling brook.


BTW: In case you didn't know, a "Blatherskite " is a person who talks at great length without making much sense. And right now, there are plenty of those...

‘Hello?’

‘Hi honey; how are you? This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?’

‘Hi Daddy! No, Daddy, Mommy is upstairs, in the bedroom, with Uncle Gabe and Mommy’s moaning real loud.’

After a brief pause, Daddy says, ‘But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Gabe!’

‘Oh yes I do! And he’s upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy, right now.’

Brief Pause and deep breath.

‘Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do, honey. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs and bang on the bedroom door; and shout to Mommy that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway, okay?’

‘Okay, Daddy, hold on, okay?’

A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.

‘I did it, Daddy.’

‘And what happened, honey?’

‘Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed naked and ran around screaming, with her hands in the air. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn’t moving at all!’

‘Oh my God!!! What about that Uncle Gabe?’

‘He jumped out of the bed naked too! He was all scared too and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool! I guess he didn’t know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and he’s not moving either! I went out and looked.’

Long Pause

Longer Pause

Even Longer Pause

Then Daddy says, ‘Swimming pool?!!??’ Is this 486-5731?’

‘No, ‘I think you have the wrong number.’

Do you fancy working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics?:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year ...


Can you guess which organization this is?

Given up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

History.

In 1872 the Arabs invented the condom, using a goat’s lower intestine.

In 1873 the British somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.
