It's Hump Day And That's No Bull !

Hump Day ! I could go either way with that line but I'll take the high road. Wednesday's the day I make my excursion into AREA 51 to socialize and relax. During the summer months, one has to check the noon weather report to determine the right time of the evening to head out. I've been caught too may times opening the front door only to realize it's raining.

Nevertheless, I'll be off to somewhere either with company or flying solo. I'm kinda itching to go someplace new tonight, but with the right phone call, I'll have to shelve that idea. We'll call that alternate plan A. Either way, tonight should be fun and if my little mind will remind me, I'll try and snap a few pictures.

The annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain is off and uh....running. I've never quite understood the reasoning behind getting in the way of a herd of bulls charging down a narrow street, but that's just me. This tradition is not just limited to Spanish Neanderthals, it draws fellow dimwits from all over the world....a sort of mass gathering of dufi (the plural for dufus). Fortunately, there's plenty of idiots all over the world and perhaps this is yet another way to (you'll pardon the expression) thin the herd.

This tradition has been run for centuries and evidently been passed down from family to family. One would think that seeing papa Juan walking with a cane or Uncle Pablo speaking in a high voice, little Juanito would come to the conclusion that this might be harmful to his health. And the beat goes on..........

I don't know about you but my alerts weren't working yesterday. It could just be that my computer has PMS, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone else had a problem.

The Pictures: As a visual reminder of the definition of stupidity, I give you pictures of the the first day of the running of the bulls.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming:

A very inebriated lady walked into a bar shortly before closing and said, "Barbender, give me a Martuni." The bartender brought her a Martini, which she drank in one gulp.

A few minutes later she yelled, "Barbender, "I'd like another Martuni." Again, the bartender brought her another Martini. By this time, the lady is leaning forward, barely able to hang on. She said, "Barbender, your Martunis are giving me heartburn."

Patiently, the bartender came near her and said, "Lady, I am not a barbender, but a bartender and what you have been drinking is not a Martuni, but a Martini, and finally, you do not have heartburn, your tits are hanging in the ashtray."

                     

That's it for today my little Tootsie roles. More tomorrow.
