He forgot a few...
like
Ouch,
often used along with
Yonder,
as in
"He's ouch younder, by tree". (he is out there by the tree)

And "rat"
As in,
"I'll be rat back" or "I'll be back rat sun" (I will be right back, or I will be back right soon)

And we use "earl" as a way to describe the black gold that comes out of the ground around these parts...

Also, I retard every day I work, so when I'm retard, I won't retard any more. Hmmm...

Ok Mookie.....I lied. Here's a few......[}:)] SHE WAS SOOOOO BLONDE...She thought a quarterback was a refund. She thought General Motors was in the army. She thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats. She thought Boyz ll Men was a day care center. At the bottom of an application where it says "Sign here:" she wrote " Sagittarius." She Was Soooooooo Blonde.....She took the ruler to bed to see how long she slept. She sent a fax with a stamp on it. Under "education" on her job application, she put "Hooked ON Phonics." She Was Soooooooooooo Blonde.....She tripped over a cordless phone. She spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate." She told me to meet her at the corner of 'WALK" and "DON'T WALK." She tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order. She Was Sooooooooooo Blonde....She studied for a blood test. She sold her car for gas money. When she missed bus #44 she took bus#22 twice instead. When she went to the train station and saw a sign that said "Train Station Left," she turned around and went home. She Was Sooooooo Blonde...When she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved. She thought that if she spoke her mind, she'd be speechless. She thought that she could not use her AM radio in the evening. She had a shirt that said "TGIF," which she thought stood for "This Goes In Front." She was Soooooooooooooooooooooooo Blonde....She thinks Taco Bell is the Mexican phone company. [8]

I have heard of turning into a gas station and a grocery store, but never into a potato.

And you have that backwards - you want to turn a potato into a boss, which shouldn't be too hard considering some bosses aren't as smart as some potatoes!

Give me time: the litttle Indian's thinking. Walt's been wondering why he smells smoke and neither of us have a cigarette lit. He's wondering who I'm sending smoke signals to.

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...

[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]

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
