Thunderbird Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advancesout of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes,RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,'If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd,will you give me a calf?' Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks athis peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers; 'Sure, Why not?' The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Blackberry, and surfs to aNASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get anexact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellitethat scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and emailsit to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .. Within mere seconds, he receives an email that the image has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQLdatabase through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheetwith email on his Laptop and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report onhis hi-tech, miniaturized HP Color LaserJet printer and finally turns to thecowboy and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.' 'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,' says Bud. He watches the young man select one of the animals andlooks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Bud says to the young man, 'Hey, if I can tell youexactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?' The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, 'Okay, why not?' 'You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government', says Bud. 'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, 'but how did you guess that?' 'No guessing required.', answered the cowboy........'You showed up here even though nobody called you.....you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked.....You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are.....and you don't know a thing about cows.....this is a herd of sheep.....Now give me back my dog.'

Michaelangelica Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Grandma's driving The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "honk ifyou love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thoughtabout the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light hadchanged. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'dnever have noticed. I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, theguy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his windowand screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleaderhe was for Jesus. Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started wavingand smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard himyelling something about a sunny beach... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck upin the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what thatmeant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gavehim the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religiousexperience. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that theygot out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when Inoticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on throughthe intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before thelight changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them afterall the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of thewindow and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as Idrove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! Quote

(Jerry, age 6) 3) - If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. ( Wayne , age 7) 4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6) 5) - A dolphin breaths through an ******* on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8) 6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6) 7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7) 8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6) 9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6) 10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher, age 7) 11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6) 12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water.

(Bobby, age 6) 15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.(James, age 7) Quote
DougF Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 A little girl asked her mother: 'How did the human race appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made.' Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.' The confused girl returned to her mother and said, 'Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?' The mother answered, 'Well, Dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family, and your father told you about his.' ..... Quote
DougF Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 The Pastor's *** The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the raceagain, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S *** OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind ofpublicity that he ordered thepastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ***. This was too much for the bishop, so heordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, postedthe following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST *** IN TOWN. The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have toget rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS *** FOR $10. This was too much for the bishop, so heordered the nun to buy back thedonkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER *** IS WILD AND FREE. The bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is ..... being concerned about public opinioncan bring you much grief and misery .... even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's *** and you'll be a lot happier and live longer! Have a nice day! :smilingsun: .... Boerseun 1 Quote
Moontanman Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon , a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it' s bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?" I was confused when I heard the word 'service' used with these agencies: Internal Revenue 'Service' U.S. Postal 'Service' Telephone 'Service' Cable TV 'Service' Civil 'Service' State, City, County & Public 'Service' Customer 'Service' This is not what I thought 'service' meant. But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus.Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us. And now you are as enlightened as I am. 7 Kinds of Sex The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. * This kind of sex happens when you first meet Someone and you both have sex until you are Blue in the Face.

theblackalchemist Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Greetings , A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. (THIS GETS BETTER!) The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won. Send this to all the smart women you know...and all the men that have a sense of humor RegardsTBA Quote
Michaelangelica Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Swimming in Australia:lightning An elderly man owned a large property in Queensland , Australia . He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit from the trees. As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer still, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!' The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked.' Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the crocodile.' Moral: Old men may walk slowly, but they can still think fast. Quote
DougF Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Good one Michaelangelica, Them are words to live by :lightning If you don't laugh hystericallyat this,...CHECK YOUR PULSE...this isfunny.... We have the standard 6 ft. fence inthe backyard, and a few monthsago, I heard about burglariesincreasing dramatically in the entire city.To make sure this never happened tome, I got an electric fence andran a single wire along the top ofthe fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattlecharger Tractor Supply had, madefor 26 miles of fence. I then used an8 ft. long ground rod, and droveit 7.5 feet into the ground. Theground rod is the key, with the moreyou have in the ground, the betterthe fence works. One day I'm mowing the back yardwith my cheapo Wal-Mart 6hpbig wheel push mower. The hot wire isbroken and laying out in the yard. Iknew for a fact that I unplugged thecharger. I pushed the mower around the wireand reached down to grab it, to throwit out of the way. It seems as though I hadn'tremembered to unplug it after all. Now I'm standing there, I'vegot the running lawnmower in my righthand and the 1.7 gigavolt fence wirein the other hand. Keep in mind the chargeris about the size of a marine batteryand has a picture of an upside down cow onfire on the cover. Time stood still. The first thing I notice is my p*ckertrying to climb up the front side of mybody. My ears curled downwards and Icould feel the lawnmower ignition firing inthe backside of my brain. Every timethat Briggs & Stratton rolled over, Icould feel the spark in my head. Iwas literally at one with the engine. It seems as though the fence chargerand the piece of sh*t lawnmower werefighting over who would control myelectrical impulses. Science says you cannot crap, pee,and vomit at the same time.I beg to differ. Not only did I doall three at once, but my bowelsemptied 3 different times in lessthan half of a second. It was a Matrix kindof bowel movement, where time iscreeping along and you're all leaned backand BAM BAM BAM you just crap yourpants 3 times. It seemed like there wereminutes in between but in reality itwas so close together it was like exhaustpulses from a big block Chevy turning8 grand. At this point I'm about 30minutes (maybe 2 seconds) intoholding onto the fence wire. My handis wrapped around the wire palm down so Ican't let go. I grew up on a farmso I know all about electricfences.....but Dad always had thosepiece of sh*t chargers made byInternational or whoever that werelike 9 volts and just kinda tickled.This one I could not let go of. The 8foot long ground rod is nowaccepting signals from me through thepermadamp Ark-La-Tex riverbottom soil. At this point I'mthinking I'm going to have to just manup and take it, until the lawnmowerruns out of gas. 'Damn!,' I think, as Iremember I just filled the tank! Now the lawnmower is starting to runrough. It has settled into aloping run pattern as if it had somekind of big lawnmower race camin it. Covered in poop, pee, and withmy vomit on my chest I think 'Oh Godplease die... pleeeeaze die'. Butnooooo, it settles into the rough lumpycam idle nicely and remains there,like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waitingfor the go command from itsowner's right foot.So here I am in the middle of July,104 degrees, 80% humidity,standing in my own backyard, beggingGod to kill me. God did nottake me that day.....he left me therecovered in my own fluids to writhe inthe misery my own stupidity hadcreated. I honestly don't know how I gotloose from the wire...I woke up laying on the ground hourslater. The lawnmower wasbeside me, out of gas. It was lateron in the day and I wassunburned. There were two large dead grass spotswhere I had been standing, and thenanother long skinny dead spot wherethe wire had laid while Iwas on the ground still holding on toit. I assume I finally had aseizure and in the resultingthrashing had somehow let go of thewire.Upon waking from my electricallyinduced sleep I realized a few things: 1- Three of my teeth seem to havemelted. 2- I now have cramps in the bottomsof my feet and my right buttcheek (not the left, just the right). 3- Poop, pee, and vomit when allmixed together, do not smellas bad as you might think.4- My left eye will not open. 5- My right eye will not close. 6- The lawnmower runs like a sumbitchnow. Seriously! I think ourlittle session cleared out somecarbon fouling or something,because it was better than new afterthat. 7- My nuts are still smaller thanaverage yet they arealmost a foot long. 8- I can turn on the TV in the gameroom by farting while thinking ofthe number 4 (still don'tunderstand this???).That day changed my life. I now havea newfound respect for things.I appreciate the little things more,and now I always triple check to makesure the fence is unplugged before Imow. The good news, is that if a burglardoes try to come over the fence,I can clearly visualize what mysecurity system will do to him, andTHAT gives me a warm and fuzzyfeeling all over, which also reminds me totriple check before I mow. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Quote
