The latest funny from the Internet

My Photo
Name:
Location: St Augustine, Florida, United States

Among other things I am a father, grandfather, brother, uncle and fortunate member of a large and loving family without a throw-away in the bunch. Now a writer of quips, essays and short stories, I started serious writing and my first novel at age 70. A chemical engineering graduate of Purdue University in 1949, I am a dreamer who would like to be a poet, a cosmologist, a true environmentalist and a naturalist. I've become a lecturer on several subjects. That's my little buddy, Charlie, with me in the photo. He's an energetic, very friendly Lhasa Apso born in September, 2003. He's a good one!

Smile!!!


Let’s have a little chat, shall we? Are things really so bad?

There’s a snake about a foot above me that wants me for dinner.

There’s a beetle in front of me that I’d like to eat, but he’s actually too big for my mouth.

My kids are swimming around in a puddle down below.

Their father deserted us and ran off with a polywog.

Some guy’s starting to chop my tree down - -

Strictly for Hoosiers!
The ones in italics are me!
Bold italics even moreso.

Foxworthy On Indiana

This may help my friends understand where I come from!

A Little INDIANA Humor
Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy
has to say about Hoosiers...
(I've added a few of my own)

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May, you may live in Indiana.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you
assistance and they don't work there, you may
live in Indiana.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same
time, you may live in Indiana.


If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
with someone who dialed a wrong number, you
may live in Indiana.

If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of
Muncie for the weekend, you may live in Indiana.

If you measure distance in hours, you may live
in Indiana.

If you know several people who have hit a
deer more than once, you may live in Indiana.


If you have totaled several cars by hitting deer,
you probably live in Indiana.

If you've hit three deer in two days with your car
you may live in Indiana


If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in
the same day and back again, you may live in
Indiana.

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow
during a raging blizzard without flinching, you
may live in Indiana.


If you install security lights on your house
and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may
live in Indiana.

If you carry jumpers in your car and your
wife knows how to use them, you may live in Indiana.

If every spring oak trees from acorns stored by squirrels
sprout all over your yard like dandelions, you may live in Indiana.

If many of your neighbors have all their kids living within a few
miles and have never been farther away than the next county,
you may live in Indiana.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to
fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Indiana.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph
-- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you,
you may live in Indiana.

If driving is better in the winter because the
potholes are filled with snow, you may live in
Indiana.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter,
winter, still winter and road construction, you
may live in Indiana.


If you have more miles on your snow blower
than your car, you may live in Indiana.

If your dog chases deer across a frozen lake for
exercise, you may live in Indiana.

If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you
may live in Indiana.

If you actually understand these jokes, and
forward them to all your Indiana friends and
others, you definitely live in Indiana

All believe the government should guarantee them free barns, free hay and free veterinary services.

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN COWS are many-colored, like bulls and believe having calves and producing milk is their main purpose in life - 85% organize into cooperative dairies and create dairy conglomerates - their cooperatives produce a milk surplus which they keep for a "rainy day" - soon 10% of the cows control 95% of the milk - they resent being forced to provide increasing amounts of their milk to non-producing cows - 72% believe all Democrats are anti-bull cows who are doing to them what the bulls usually do but without the benefits - 90% believe Democrat cows should start having calves and producing milk - 38% believe all forests should be cut down and converted to pastures - 2% control the cooperatives and are buying up all pastures to provide for themselves.

CENTRIST COWS are all pale greyish brown, don’t know if they like bulls or not, and are neutral about having calves and producing milk - they are distressed by the huge dairy conglomerates, but won’t do anything about them - they think all liberal Democrat and conservative Republican cows are, "out to get them" - 34% put off having calves until it’s too late because they just, "can’t make up their minds" - those that do have calves haven’t a clue what to do with the milk they produce, but know they won’t put it in the hands of the cooperatives - 97% will firmly position themselves straddling every fence with their mooer on one side and their udder on the other, "Mooudders?" - nearly all have not the slightest idea of whether they are coming or going.

Only in America

Only in America.....do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. !

Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

EVER WONDER ..

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? !

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Political Affiliation Test

Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican?
Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by your answer to the following:

________________________________

Situation: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?
________________________________

Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! -- Does the man look poor, or oppressed? -- Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? -- Could we run away? -- What does my wife think? -- What about the kids? -- Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? -- What does the law say about this situation? -- Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? -- Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? -- Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? -- Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? -- If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? -- Should I call 9-1-1? -- Why is this street so deserted? -- We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. -- This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer:

Southern Republican's Answer:
