It Was A Dark And Stormy Night......

Someone needs to tell the powers that be that rainy nights are meant to start later in the evening. It started drizzling last evening just about the time that I got out of the shower. Unswayed by the winds, rain and lightning, I continued to dress because I, much like the heralded postman, have my own mission and neither rum, nor schnapps, nor Schlitz, nor something will prevent this courageous courier from the (somewhat) swift completion of his appointed rounds.

Actually, lightning has a way of closing my sphincter muscle to the point that it actually causes aging. I can handle the rains and winds, but lightning ofttimes forces me to yell out that old warning, "women, children and journalists first."

With those thoughts in mind, I am proud to tell you that I went out my front door, opened my umbrella and a bolt of lightning hit within fifty yards of my proximity. Like the mighty warrior that I am, I turned and ran back into the house, screaming like a campfire girl. Nay, my little lightning rods, mama didn't raise no fool. I surrendered the evening to the elements and was forced to sit at home alone. Thankfully, my friend Johnny Walker was there to console me. 

ABC News issued orders yesterday forbidding reporters to wear lapel pin American flags or other patriotic insignia. Their reasoning was that ABC should remain neutral about "causes."

Patriotism is a "cause?" I hope so! In a time that you have to refer to illegal aliens as illegal immigrants and you don't know whether to order black coffee or african-american coffee lest you "offend" someone, now they don't want you to wear an American flag lapel pin?

It seems that the only ones that can stand up and make noise are the ones who are normally causing all the trouble. It's time to tell the politically correct crowd to kiss my white American ass!

The Pictures: Lately my little animal buddies have been seen only in their elements, so I sent them emails and asked them if they would dress up a little for a photo shoot. They agreed and here are a few of the better dressed as judged by my cat, Shithead.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: The following video was provided to me by my friends as an instructional tool for tequila drinkers. It is also the reason I quit drinking tequila.

                                                    

Annoyed by the professor of anatomy who liked to tell "naughty" stories during class, a group of female students decided that the next time he started to tell one, they would all rise and leave the room in protest.

The professor, however, got wind of their scheme just before class the following day, so he bided his time. Then, halfway through the lecture, he began. "They say there is quite a shortage of prostitutes in France."

The girls looked at one another, arose and started for the door. "Young ladies," said the professor with a broad smile, "the next plane doesn't leave till tomorrow afternoon."

A man went into a pharmacy and asked to talk to a male pharmacist. The woman he was talking to said that she was the pharmacist and that she and her sister owned the store, so there were no males employed there.

She asked if there was something she could help  the gentleman with. The man said "this is embarrassing  for me, but I have a permanent erection which causes me a lot of problems and severe embarrassment. I was wondering what you could give me for it?"

The pharmacist said "Just a minute, I'll go talk to my sister." When she returned, she said, "the best we can do is 1/3 ownership in the store and $3000 a month in living expenses.

That's it for today my little sunflower cedes. More tomorrow.
