MOOKIE, what are we gonna do with that boy?

I guess we could nail the door shut so he couldn't get out of his room. [}:)]

I know. We can put him on the next Russian space shuttle and let him "see" space. [:p]

Thursday's Humor Paper . . . . . . . [;)] [:p]

(Jim isn't feeling very humorous right now. [V] )


From Joke of the Day. (About 2 weeks ago though, I have 300 plus greeting cards and "things" I have not had time to get to. Needless to say I am running a bit behind.)


I CAN IDENTIFY WITH THIS "DRUG PROBLEM" you mentioned in an earlier email.

My generation just might have been lucky. I had a drug problem when I was young, but I turned out all right.

I was "drug" to church for wedding and funerals.

I was "drug" to family reunions no matter the weather.

I was "drug" to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.

I was "drug" by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.

I was also "drug" to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents.

Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better place.



I think we have some good kids in our forum family. I hope they are not offended by the above article. It takes all kinds to make the world go around (as they say). The baby boomer crowd can relate to the above article.

The Romans built an outstanding system of Aquaducts..some are still used..mostly for irrigation through....back to that building for posterity.............as for building for the posterior........they have an efficient sewage treatment system...it's called the Mediterranean.


Dan- The romans did indeed have a working water system. However, there was one slight tiny-winy problem. All of the pipes thta were used to carry the water were made out of Pb (plobium, Lead) Which intern made mostr of the citizens loppier then fruit loops, It is also believed to have been the leading cause for Caligula's weirdness, I believe from 37-41AD. Because he was so weird and loopey, he was assassinated.



Their water system...yeah it was lead, but the silliness that afficted the ruling class had a little to do with syphillis and inbreeeding too..not just the pipes.....I was thinking more of the aquaduct system, which was and is a engineering marvel. While the tribes and heathens in Northern Europe were walking down to the river and getting water in animal skins, the Romans were bringing the water to the people, where there were no rivers. But like anything Italian..that whole maintenance thing kicked their butts.

And besides...lead was easy to work with...the the Roman EPA didn't know any better back then.......

This may or may not be funny depending on IF you just bought gas for your car.

In our local newspaper on Tuesday was a picture of a sign in California at one of the gas stations there. Someone was polking a little humor at gas prices but I bet not everyone was amussed. Anyway here is what the sign read:

Gasoline

Regular Unleaded . . . . . . . 2.33 9/10

Plus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .A R M

Well you won't believe this, but it is typical of my luck, I broke the same toe on the other foot just about 3 weeks ago. This time on the couch, but it wasn't as bad as the first broken toe. At least the couch is padded so even though it still hurt it didn't hurt as bad as the first toe. [:(]

RE: Italian Police Get Lamborghini Patrol Car

ROME (Reuters) - If you are thinking about speeding on Italian highways this year, think twice. You might find yourself being chased by a Lamborghini.

Italian police took possession Friday of a sleek, 500 horsepower, two-seater Lamborghini Gallardo, which can hit a top speed of 185 miles per hour.


The sports car, painted in the police's distinctive blue and white colors, comes complete with a flashing blue light on the roof and will initially patrol the Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway -- a road notorious in Italy for wild driving.

The Lamborghini will also be used to transport human organs for emergency operations.



HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAH HA![(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]

185! On an ITAILIAN HIGHWAY[?]

it would bounce of the highway or flip over before it could even reach 70!![(-D][(-D]


North of Rome towards Verona or west to Milan maybe.....but RC and Salerno....holy boy......at 185 the only organs they be carrying away will be the driver's if they can find them....some of the worst roads in Italy. But then again we're talking about an Italian sports car, what's the chance that it'll start much less get up to speed (without catching on fire).....As they used to say in Naples..."The Italians have very stiff penalties for drunk driving"......"so what constitutes erratic"......."Obeying the law"


Actually reminds me of another one......How to stump a Neopolitan driver.....ask him if they have right on red in Naples......

Camping Tips

Shine a flashlight into one ear. If the beam shines
out the other ear, do not go into the woods alone.

A two-man pup tent does not include two men or a pup.

A potato baked in the coals for three hours makes an
excellent hockey puck.

You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican
food, then breathing on a pile of dry sticks.

In emergency situations, you can survive in the
wilderness by shooting small game with a slingshot
made from the elastic waistband of your underwear.

The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite
makes excellent kindling.

The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for
generations. The sight of a bald man, however, does
absolutely nothing for the eagle.

It's entirely possible to spend your whole vacation on
a winding mountain road behind a large motor home.

Effective January 1, 2005, you will actually have to
enlist in the Swiss Army to get a Swiss Army Knife.

In an emergency, a drawstring from a parka hood can be
used to strangle a snoring tent-mate.

"Camping is nature's way of promoting the motel
business." Dave Barry

One year, a particular harried husband decided to buy
his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.

The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still
haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
