And the house had only ONE tv-usually b&w, with NO REMOTE. HORRORS!!



Who needed a remote? You only had three channels to watch, anyhow!!!! (Maybe Less...)

They didn't sign off - Mom just wanted you to think they did. She was watching her soaps!

what about burning the trash in the back of the yard on a summer evening? Calling all kids!!! In the trash burning barrel was always a good hiding place for hide-and-go seek.
before the fire of course.
And whiffleball until dark!!!

"No", Mike said.

2 Aggies come ridin' into town on an elephant. All the townsfolk come out and witness the scene. The aggies get thirsty and decide to stop at a bar.

After a couple of beers, they're ready to go. They step into the parking lot and it is full of elephants.

One aggie says "how we gonna find our elephant?"
"Easy,"says the other aggie.

The second aggie starts lifting elephants tails.

The first aggie asks, "what are you doing?"

"Well, when we rode into town, I heard someone say "look @ those 2 *ssH***s on that elephant!"

Watermelon jello actually sounds good right about now, especially if it comes with a nice large helping of cottage cheese. [:D]

A drunk strolled into a bank, presented the teller with a check, and asked him to cash it. The teller explained to the woman that she would have to identify herself before he could cash it. So the woman pulled a mirror from her purse, looked at it closely, and confirmed, "Yes, sir. It's me all right."

The story you are about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.... wait a minute, no they haven't, there aren't any names IN the story!

Sales Riot



about a week ago a shoe store here in Philly was having a sale, and there was a lot of women there. Well, two of them got into a fight over the last pair of some shoe. This fight boiled over to a rather large riot that took nearly 50 police (two entire districts plus most of the wagons in the city) to quell, with four arrests. And neither woman ended up with the shoes

[8] OK, Jen. No more almost dumb blonde jokes! Did you hear of the hot air ballonist who was lost and late? He was over a large field trying to spot a landmark and noticed a man in the field. So, he lowered his altitude and yells to the guy, "Hey Mr. can you help me out? I was supposed to meet a friend a half an hour ago and, I'm lost!" The man replies, "Well certainly. You're hovering in a ballon approximately 40 feet above here and your at 42 degrees, 14 minutes, and 6 seconds N. Latitude and, 82 degrees, 9 minutes, 7 seconds W. Longitude." The ballonist exclaims, "You must be a Hoghead!" Surprised, the man answers, "That right! How did you know?" Our hot air friend says, "Well, I'm sure that info. is technically correct however; I still have no idea where I am!" The hoghead says, "You must be a fireman!" The ballonist exclaims, "That's right! How did you know?" Our hoghead explains, Well, you don't know where you are, or where your going. You've already made a promise you can't keep. And, though we've just met. Now some how it's my fault!" [:p]

NOTICE TO ALL MODEL RAILROADERS AND RAILFANS:

Be VERY suspicious if your significant other tells you that a potato will turn into an object you have been strongly suggesting that you would like to have!

Speaking of "mister Potato heads" I have one i sit on my desk... it has all of it's ears and noses in a drwayer, ocasioanlly I change the way he looks.. I call him my pound potato... When i've had a REALLY bad day.. I punch Mr.P-H and all the ears and Eyes fly off... then I fetch them, re-attach them, and sit him back on my desk...

It really helps...


I should buy one of those ballon toys you punch and they come back up...

That would be even better...
