You like Winter pictures?

Picture this.

It snowed out last night.

Nobody told me that was going to happen.

There I was poking around on the Puter, Lazily taking my time before I had to go to work, and then I had to go and fire up the wheels for my commute.

Hey, it snowed out!

Nobody told me.

My gas gauge was in the front lean and rest position, i.e. empty. I had to fuel up at oh dark thirty in the freaking frozen tundra! Don`t you just love self serve Gasoline in December?

It is is freezing out around here today. Yikes, it is so picturesque!

I was looking at Kathy in Alaska`s post. It is ten times warmer there than it is here. I am going! Alaska here I come.

I want to be warmer!

My driveway gets more salt than I do. How come my blood pressure is up?

I`d prefer a Cold war to a Cold weather!


Arrggh! All this and it is only 3 days into December.



Are we having fun yet?

The little girl was sitting with her grandmother, who had
presented her with her first little children's Bible, in an easy-to-
read translation, when she was very young.

Now, a decade or so later, the old lady was ready to spend a
few sweet moments handing down the big old Family Bible, in
the time-honored King James Version, to her only grandchild.

Understandably excited, the youngster was asking a number
of questions, both about the family members whose births and
deaths were recorded therein, and about various aspects of
the Scriptures themselves.

Her grandmother was endeavoring to answer all the child's
questions in terms she could understand; but the one that
stopped her cold was this sincere inquiry:

"Which Virgin was the mother of Jesus? Was it the Virgin
Mary, or the King James Virgin?"

There was an old married couple that had
happily lived together for nearly forty years.
The only friction in their marriage was caused
by the husband's habit of breaking wind nearly
every morning as he awoke.

The noise would always wake up his wife, and
the smell would cause her eyes to water as she
would choke and gasp for air. Nearly every
morning she would plead with him to stop
ripping one in the morning.

He told her that he couldn't help it. She
begged him to see a doctor to see if anything
could be done but the husband wouldn't hear of
it. He told her that it was just a natural
bodily function, and then he would laugh in her
face as she tried to wave the fumes away with
her hands.

She told him that there was nothing natural about
it, and if he didn't stop, he was one day going
to "shoot his guts out."

The years went by, and the wife continued to
suffer, and the husband continued to ignore her
warnings about "shooting his guts out" until
one Thanksgiving morning. Before dawn, the wife
went downstairs to prepare the family feast.

She fixed pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, made gravy
and, of course, a turkey. While she was taking
out the turkey's innards, a thought occurred to
the wife as to how she might solve her husband's
problem. With a devilish grin on her face, he
placed the turkey guts into a bowl and quietly
walked upstairs hours before her flatulent husband
would awake. while he was still soundly asleep,
she pulled back the covers and then gently pulled
back her husband's jockey shorts.

She then placed all of the turkey guts into her
husband's underwear, pulled them up, replaced the
covers and tiptoed back downstairs to finish
preparing the family meal.

Several hours later she heard her husband awake
with his normal loud butt trumpeting. This was
soon followed by a blood curdling scream and the
sound of frantic footsteps as her husband ran to
the upstairs bathroom.

The wife could not control herself, and her eyes
began to tear up as she rolled on the floor
laughing. After years of putting up with him she
had finally gotten even.

About twenty minutes later, her husband came
downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a
look of horror in his eyes. She bit her lip to
keep from laughing, and she asked him what was
the matter. He said, "Honey, you were right - all
those years you warned me, and I didn't listen to
you."

"What do you mean?" innocently asked his wife.

"Well you always told me that I would end up
shooting my guts out one of these days and today
it finally happened. But by the grace of good
Lord and these two fingers, I think I got 'em
all back in."

Isn't it fun? But you know what's pathetic? I sometimes have to ask my 14 yr old and 12 yr old nieces to teach me. They are so way ahead of me. And they can draw nice pictures too! I just borrow mine....LOL!!!

Do you know what sexual harassment is?
It's when a man talks dirty to a woman.

What do you call it when a woman talks dirty to a man?
$4.99 a minute

This morning a famous newscaster on radio ended his report with an
explanation of how streaking got started. Seems a fellow had just taken
a bath and before dressing was rummaging around in his medicine cabinet
to find some "Preparation-H" and accidentally got hold of a tube of
"Ben-Gay."
