DANG DOG

I went to go get lunch for Jim and myself yesterday. I decided to go get Quizno's. I brought the sandwiches home. I put my sandwich on a plate, I put Jim's sandwich on a plate. I took Jim's sandwich to him in the office (he was working through lunch). I went back to get my sandwich. There was only an empty plate. NO SANDWICH!! I look outside and Bohdan is enjoying my Quizno's sandwich! DANG DOG!

I GOT MY FIRST SPEEDING TICKET YESTERDAY

Dumb Blonde Joke

A Blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says 'Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.'The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing 'That's horrible!!! So many men dying that way!'Confused, he says, 'Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved.'After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says...

'How many is a Brazilian?'

Poor, poor Barbie. She never had a chance. Her beautiful dress was shredded and her limbs were all but torn off. Even in this unfortunate state, she never stopped smiling!! Who could have done such a heinous crime................

THESE ARE PRETTY FUNNY!

I would venture to say that during times like these (for all of us) a little humor is in order. My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered.I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." ...And that's how the fight began....********

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office! She said, 'you should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten Disability, too'And that's how the fight began.....********

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back intobed.I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?'And that's how the fight began.....********

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and Ikept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone ata nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?''Yes,' I sighed, 'she's my old girlfriend. I understand she took todrinking right after we split up those many & years ago, and I hearshe hasn't been sober since.''My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And that's how the fight began.....********

I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny?Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOTHAPPY!!!'So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?'And that's how the fight began.....********

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's darn near perfect.'And that's how the fight began.....

GOOD LUCK MR PRESIDENT

I want to wish President Obama

the Best for the future!

I THINK I MAY HAVE A GHOST

Ok, my sister Julie came over to take some face shots of me and after looking at all the pictures (she took about 50) a weird thing appeared. In about 8 of the pictures a dark shadow was on me. At first we were thinking that it was just her hand getting in the way or the camera strap or even her shadow, but when we looked closer, we noticed that it was kind of a transparent black and not solid. That leaves out strap or the hand. She had about 5-7 of the same exact pose (the only difference would be the tilt of my head) so if it were a shadow, it should have fallen on the picture the exact same way each time. Also we tried to duplicate it so a shadow would fall and we couldn't duplicate it!!!! WEIRD!!!!

ANOTHER BAT STORY

Friends, family, fine wine, a $30,000 investment and a year and a half of planning: it should have been the perfect wedding.
But Sydney couple Steve and Leigh Buttel claim unwanted guests — including maggots in their wedding bed and bedroom invasions by BATS — turned their wedding into a bride's worst nightmare.
The couple and family members arrived at Peppers Creek in Australia on Nov. 28, a day before the wedding.
The newlyweds had allegedly found maggots described by the groom as "the size of chocolate bullets" in their wedding bed and a dead BAT, covered in maggots, above their bedhead.
Other guests fled their room in the middle of the night when a BAT emerged from the fireplace and "flapped around the room."
The newlyweds abandoned their suite on the wedding night and sought refuge on a blow-up mattress on the floor of a cottage occupied by Leigh Buttell's father and grandparents.
This story is condensed from FoxNews.com

As you may or may not know, my family (Mom, Dad, Sister and Brothers) have a "hate...hate" relationship with BATS!! When I run across funny bat stories I will share them with you here. LOL

DOG PACK ATTACKS GATOR IN FLORIDA!

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty. The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish!

SECRET IDENTITY

I have been a little concerned about my old boss and friend from AVSuperstore. Back in October whenever I came in to visit the sides of his face were getting very very hairy! MUTTON CHOPS!! Oh no......is this a new fad? Was his cheeks just starting to get cold and he wanted built in warmers? Was he bitten by a werewolf and was starting to turn? I asked many many different questions but there was only one plausible answer.....

His secret identity was WOLVERINE!!!

A HEART-HEALTHY PRAYER FOR THE HOLIDAY: BY UNKNOWN

Lord, grant me the strength that I may not fall

Into the clutches of cholesterol.

At saturated fat, I'll never mutter,

For the road to hell is paved with butter.

And cake is cursed and cream is awful.

And Satan is hiding in every waffle.

Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,

and Lucifer is a lollipop.

Teach me the evils of hollandaise,

of pasta and gobs of mayonnaise.

And crips fried chicken from the South,

Lord, if you love, SHUT MY MOUTH!

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULDNT DO!

May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey be plump,

May your potatoes and gravy Have never a lump.

May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off of your thighs!

WHAT A PRETTY MERMAID!

My niece Abby loves to act. Right now she is in a production of "The Little Mermaid" and was cast as Arials sister. This is a picture of Abby during one of her performances. Is'nt she beautiful! I want to say she takes after me, but she definitely takes after her mom and dad in the looks department. My mom and dad (Gma and Gpa) flew down to see her in the play. They just flew back in today and they both said Abby was wonderful. I cant wait for the family to come up for Christmas because they will be bringing a tape of the play, that way we all will get a chance to see Abby perform.

Tamarack

This is me and one of my best friends in the whole world, Ann Singer. I have known Ann since the 7th grade. I used to take piano lessons with a minister's wife that lived down the street and Ann had her lessons right after mine. Well, lets say we didnt really like each other at first and she used to come early to make me nervous!! LOL
However, we ended up becoming the best of friends and even to this day I know she will always be there for me.

MY MOM AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS

This is so wierd. My mom and I were just talking about this picture. How nobody ever really knew for sure who the two people were. I love this picture though. What a wonderful way to say "War is Over"!!

NEW YORK (AP) -- A 90-year-old who says she's the woman being kissed by a sailor in Times Square in one of World War II's most famous photographs reunited in town with the Navy on Sunday -- days before she is to serve as grand marshal of the city's Veterans Day parade.
Edith Shain of Los Angeles, donning a white nurse's uniform like the one she wore back in 1945, went to see the musical revival of "South Pacific" and posed for pictures, being hoisted off her feet on stage by five of the actors in their Navy whites.
On Tuesday, she'll ride in the parade at the head of a contingent of World War II veterans.
The "South Pacific" event was a touching reminder of history, but very different from August 15, 1945, the day Shain recalls that she joined thousands of people whooping it up after Japan surrendered. Right there on Broadway and 45th Street, a sailor suddenly grabbed and kissed her -- and the moment was caught by Alfred Eisenstaedt, a Life magazine photographer.
His picture from V-J Day became one of the 20th century's most iconic images. But Eisenstaedt didn't get the names of either party, and efforts years later by Life to identify them produced a number of claimants, says Bobbi Baker Burrows, a Life editor with deep knowledge of the subject.
About 1980, Shain recalls, she wrote a letter to Life, identifying herself as the woman in the nurse's uniform. Eisenstaedt wrote back and later visited her in California and gave her a copy of the photo. But Eisenstaedt, who died in 1995, was never sure that Shain was the woman in the photo, Burrows said.
Because of renewed interest in the subject, she recalled, "Life decided to run an article saying, `If you are the sailor or the nurse in the picture, please step forward."'
"We received claims from a few nurses and dozens of sailors, but we could never prove that any of them were the actual people, and Eisenstaedt himself just said he didn't know," she said.
Even the fact that Shain stands only 4 feet 9 isn't helpful in analyzing the photo, in which the sailor has her in what looks more like a death grip than an embrace, with both of their faces obscured.
By her own account, Shain said she could not identify the bussing boy in blue.
"I went from Doctors Hospital to Times Square that day because the war was over, and where else does a New Yorker go?" she said. "And this guy grabbed me and we kissed, and then I turned one way and he turned the other. There was no way to know who he was, but I didn't mind because he was someone who had fought for me." Watch a WWII veteran's memories »
At least three veterans still lay claim to being the kissing sailor, and at least one other woman has claimed to be the nurse. But Shain, who left nursing to become a kindergarten teacher in Los Angeles for 30 years, appears to hold the edge -- by virtue of persistence, an effervescent charm and unabashed patriotism.
"As for the picture," she says, "it says so many things -- hope, love, peace and tomorrow. The end of the war was a wonderful experience, and that photo represents all those feelings."

IT WAS A JOKE

I have not been selected to appear on South Park!! It was a joke!!
