 Little Blonde FReeper !!

A blonde, a brunnette and a redhead all tried out for the same job as road stripers. The boss told them they would all work for three days and whoever painted the most would get the job.

At the end of the first day, the redhead had painted 3 miles, the brunette had painted 2.5 miles and the blonde had painted 10 miles .

The boss was so excited he told her to keep it up and the job was hers.

The next day, the redhead painted 5 miles and the brunette 5.6 miles and the blond 4 miles he told her not to worry you still have a good lead. So, on the third day the redhead had painted 6 miles, the brunette 5 miles and the blonde only one mile.

The boss was so disappointed, he asked the blonde, "What went wrong, you were doing so well".

She said, "Well, that bucket of paint keeps getting further and further away."

[Soaring Feather]

She said, "Well, that bucket of paint keeps getting further and further away."

Well, my goodness, poor dear!!

Religious History
1539 In England, the monastery at the Fountains Abbey was surrendered to the crown. It was the richest of the Cistercian houses, prior to the time of the Dissolution of all monasteries in England, under the reign of Henry VIII.
1775 The American Navy began using chaplains within its regular service.
1789 President George Washington proclaimed this date (a Thursday) to be the first national Thanksgiving Day holiday. (National Thanksgiving days were periodically proclaimed by presidents, until in 1863 Abraham Lincoln inaugurated the practice of annually setting the fourth Thursday in November aside for Thanksgiving Day.)
1962 English apologist C.S. Lewis wrote in a letter: 'No doubt [my body] has often led me astray: but not half so often, I suspect, as my soul has led IT astray. For the spiritual evils ... arise more from the imagination than from the appetites.'
1970 During a 10_day visit to the Philippines, Pope Paul VI was attacked by a knife_wielding man in Manilla. The pontiff was unhurt and continued his journey.

Thought for the day :
"Man is inclined to exaggerate almost everything - except his own mistakes."

Question of the day...
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Murphys Law of the day...(Jones's Law)
The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.

I listened to Rush long enough during my drive time yesterday to hear him mention that you have to bathe at least once a year in Kentucky. IT'S THE LAW! (Something tells me tomkow6 won't be moving to that state anytime soon.) ;)

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

Sarge is at The House this morning, enjoying a breakfast of coffee, computer, and caulking.

Winter has struck Kentucky with a vengeful fist, and bitter cold is seeping through the old windows. I've got some frantic winterizing to do. Taking time out to say HI!, and see you on watch tonight.

Oh, and Ms. Featherhead? Get your quills out, we're gonna be busy...

Good job on the thread, Radix muhboy.

See You Guys!
