Grandkids & Puns

     A close look at Man's "Mid-life crisis" and solution by Woman by Maryann of Oakland:   

WHEN I WAS MARRIED 25 YEARS, I TOOK A LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 25 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, AN OLD CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10 INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25 YEAR OLD BLOND.

"NOW WE HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND A PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 50-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ARE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS.

MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLONDE, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING AN OLD CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10 INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.


Funny stuff, Maryann, thanks
-------------------
  And finally, some quickies, again courtesy of Maryann, that you might want to try on your friends... actually some of them are pretty funny:
 
"After you've read them, you'll either: 
    a) Wish that you didn't have a computer or,
    b) Wish that I didn't have a computer:
1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
7. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'" "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" Well, "It's Not Unusual."
8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.
10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"
13. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.
14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!"
16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
18. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
19. Mahatma MaGandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him..(Oh, man, this is so bad, it might be good). a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
20. And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to his friends with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh.
 No pun in ten did."
 
     Ouch!!!  And don't blame me... talk again to Maryann - she bears all responsibility.  Thanks, kiddo.

Goodbye from Today's World.  See you next time - I hope

Creature Evolution

October 18th 2007 22:54
Hello again, and thanks for visiting Today's World; today just for fun I've got some photos of real and imagined Very Large Creatures; I hope you enjoy!
Giant Shark
Giant Shark

Folks caught an 11-foot shark at the Destin Fishing Rodeo in Destin, Fla.
Even after it was gutted (yuk) the 844-pound creature still weighed 638 pounds.
The weight still broke previous tournament records, by 338 pounds.

Giant Jellyfish
Giant Jellyfish

This Jellyfish will no longer pose any problem for the Japanese fishing industry.
I am ambivalent about that fact,. I understand the need for business, employment, food....
Yet, our oceans...

Catfish
Catfish

Catfish
This 646-pounder was caught in the Mekong River.

Giant Squid
Giant Squid

New Zealander's snagged a 990-pound squid in the Antarctic. It was 330 pounds heavier than tany other previously recovered.
Giant Lobster
Giant Lobster

This 23-pound lobster was caught off Nantucket, Mass. He was to go to the Pittsburgh Zoo, but died.

Giant Bunny
Giant Bunny

Karl Szmolinsky is a breeder in Eberswalde, Germany. This rabbit weighs more than 20 pounds.
Attack of the Giant Rooster
Attack of the Giant Rooster

And last, but certainly not least, this "photo" of what is probably the biggest rooster in the world from Jon of Olivehurst, CA.

The first six of these are presumed to be authentic; that's the biggest "20 pound" rabbit I have ever seen; however, the "photo" of the big rooster from Jon in Olivehurst has got to be a phoney just for fun, I hope. Any fishermen out there have any photos comparable to that large catfish? Any and all comments on these behemoths would be very much appreciated.

Well, that was fun; I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed posting it. If you did, please give me vote and click on my sponsers' links. It helps pay the bills. Thanks for visiting; and again, as always, your comments are very much appreciated. See you next time.

Bad Jokes & Pit Porcupines

October 8th 2007 21:39
Hello again from Today's World:
Riddle: There is a mountain with a "house of ill repute" on the top. One man is going up the mountain, one man is coming down the mountain, and one man is on top of the mountain.
What are the three men's nationalities??? (Answer at the bottom of the column)

From Craig, my friend in Fallon, Nevada:
This is a picture NASA took with the Hubbell telescope...they call it 'The Eye of God.'
Eye of God
Eye of God

Interesting, what? Actually, this photograph is of the The Helix Nebula NGC 7293. Could it be that God is looking at us through this Nebula? Comments?


Again, from Craig:
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling neckties.
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?" The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $25."
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! Infidel! I do not need an overpriced tie. I
need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first.
" OK," said the old Jewish man, "it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that". "If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need and the food is quite good, too. Shalom."
Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, and said "Your brother won't let me in without a tie."
Thought: "The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails."

Still more from Craig, and I thank you, Craig (an unending source of humor):
Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living
room, and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.
She got up, unplugged the TV and my computer and threw out my wine!!
She will not be invited over again...

From my friend, Maryann, in Oakland, and thank you Maryann - Funny and sad at the same time:
Pit Bull vs. Porcupine...
A Southern California (wouldn't you know it!) Pit Bull decided he would take on a Porcupine in his back yard...he ultimately learned the hard way that you can't always win no matter how tough you might be.
After the encounter, a vet sedated the dog and then removed 1,347 quills (!!!). The dog survived and hopefully learned a valuable lesson.
Pit Bull Meets Porcupine
Pit Bull Meets Porcupine

Ouch
Ouch

Three thoughts come to mind when I look at that poor dog...
1. Don't mess with Porcupines;
2. Wonder if the Porcupine had any quills left; and
3.. Dogs and Porcupines?; Bush and Iraq? Similar, maybe, huh...
OUCH!!!

Answer to Riddle at beginning of column: The man going up the mountain is Russian; the man coming down the mountain is Finnish; and the man at the top of the mountain, Himalayan - Well, I think it's funny
