THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD

Posted on 10/22/2010 5:45:14 AM PDT by 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...



TOPICS: Humor
KEYWORDS: babble; blather; friday; ofst; silliness

Re:Babbling Day

Ron White, comedian, often tells the story of his arrest in NY City, because he was wearing a hat in a bar that didn’t allow hats. Although he took off the hat at first, after a few drinks he put his hat back on without realizing it.

The bouncer ejects him onto the street. The bar claims a chair was broken by Ron. It was probably broken ON Ron, by the bouncer. But still you could say Ron broke it.Since he refused to pay for it, they called the cops.

Then Ron says, “I had the right to remain silent...but I didn’t have the ability!”.

This is part of his famous “They Call Me, Tater Salad” story.

I was out driving very early this morning - around 4:30 - when I noticed the car ahead of me skid off the road; a quick check showed me that it was a very seriously injured Muslim.....so I notified 911 straightaway.

It's been over five hours, and he's still there -- I'm beginning to think I wasted a 44 cent postage stamp....

A few years ago I was pulled over in Massachusetts for driving under the influence.

The officer said, "Sir, do you know what the penalty for drunk driving is in this state?"

I thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know . . . re-election to the Senate?"

"My classmates would copulate with anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself."

"My mother was like a sister to me, only we didn't have sex quite so often."

"I was the kid next door's imaginary friend."

"You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life."

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me."

"I was walking down fifth avenue today and I found a wallet, and I was gonna keep it, rather than return it, but I thought: well, if I lost a hundred and fifty dollars, how would I feel? And I realized I would want to be taught a lesson."

"I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming. They don't know I'm only using blanks."

"I was sleeping the other night, alone, thanks to the exterminator."

"I was in a bar the other night, hopping from barstool to barstool, trying to get lucky, but there wasn't any gum under any of them."

"I got a letter from the IRS. Apparently I owe them $800. So I sent them a letter back. I said, "If you'll remember, I fastened my return with a paper clip, which according to your very own latest government pentagon spending figures will more than make up for the difference."

"Women: You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something..."

"Probably the toughest time in anyone's life is when you have to murder a loved one because they're the devil."

"People come up to me and say, "Emo, do people really come up to you?"

"When I wake up in the morning, I just can't get started until I've had that first, piping hot pot of coffee. Oh, I've tried other enemas..."

"I ran three miles today. Finally I said, "Lady take your purse."

"Well, my brother says Hello. So, hooray for speech therapy."

"I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

"I'm a great lover, I'll bet."

My favorite of Emo’s: I used to think that the brain was the most fascinating part of the body...then I thought...look what’s telling me that!
