A Corny Joke

Friday, October 30th, 2009

A corny joke from The Tulsan.

Two male employees walk into the break room for coffee refills. Bob is carrying a coffee mug with “World’s Best Dad” written on it. Tom is also carrying the same sort of mug, “World’s Best Dad”.

Tom looks angrily at Bob and says, “you callin’ my kid a liar?”

Believe it or not, a “World’s Best Dad” shirt was the basis for an entire, hilarious episode of “Seinfeld”!

More Ancient Wisdom

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I received this one from The Tulsan.

A wise man once said~

‘Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. 
    
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh**!’

Ladies In Heaven

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

From The Tulsan.

Two ladies talking in heaven:

1st woman:    Hi! My name is Wanda.

2nd woman:    Hi! I’m Kelly. How’d you die? 

1st woman:    I Froze to Death.

2nd woman:    How Horrible! 

1st woman:    It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

2nd woman:    I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act.  But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV. 

1st woman:    So, what happened?

2nd woman:    I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking.  I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement.  Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds.  I kept this up until I had looked
everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

1st woman:    Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer—we’d both still be alive!

When To Start Cussing

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
 

One from Grasshopper via Dinky…..

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom.

“You know what?”  says the 6-year old.  ”I think it’s about time we started cussing.”

The 4-year old nods his head in approval. The 6-year old continues, “When we go downstairs for breakfast, I’m gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass.”

The 4-year old agrees with enthusiasm.

When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 -ear old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, “Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I’ll have some Cheerios.”

 (WHACK) He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room. “You can stay there until I let you out!”

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year old and asks, “what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?”

“ I don’t know,” he blubbers, “but you can bet your fat ass it won’t be Cheerios!”

Moved By Meat Loaf

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Number 1 and I went to Number 2′s fall choir concert last week.  As we sat up in the balcony, watching the various choirs performed, we noticed that the all of the boys in the co-ed choir looked like doofuses, with the exception of one boy – a friend of Number 2′s who looks like Meat Loaf.  When we met up with Number 2 after the performance, she was with a couple of her female friends, and we relayed our observation, which was greeted with disgust by her friends.

“You think he looks like meatloaf?  That’s not nice!”

“Not meatloaf the food.  Meat Loaf the singer.”

“Oh.  Who’s that?”

Sunday, in need of help moving Sunshine’s heavy furniture from her apartment to the house, Number 2 recruited her friend.  When I told him of my observation from the concert, he beamed proudly.  As a singer, he knew who I was referring to, and was proud of the comparison.  Really, if you’ve ever listened to “Bat Out Of Hell”, you’d understand that to be compared to the talented Meat Loaf is a compliment.

We arrived at the house, and the first order of business was to unload some heavy dressers from the trailer and carry some heavy dressers up the half-flight of stairs into the house and then up the full-flight of stairs to the bedrooms.  Number 2 cautioned Meat Loaf that the dressers were heavy and would require two people, and then Meat Loaf proceeded to lift a dresser by himself!  Holy crap!  Meat Loaf not only can sing, but is built like an ox! 

With the much appreciated help of Meat Loaf (and later on, his brother and another friend), Sunshine and I were able to successfully transport all of her big and heavy furniture from her place to the house without either one of us having to suffer back strain!

Coincidence? Or Karma?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

It is my firm belief that, as a parent, my kids’ needs should come before my own.   I have never thought it right to ask my kids to sacrifice if I am not willing to do so, too.  Take lunches, for instance.  For all five of my kids to eat a school lunch is a cool $53.75 a week.  If I were to eat out every day, that would be in the neighborhood of $50.  So, adding that all together, that’s about $100 a week – for lunches.  That’s quite a chunk of change!

Once upon a time, The Mistress would pay for the kids lunches, but not any more.  So, I pay for the elementary school kids to have a school lunch, and the older kids pack a lunch.  Since I cannot justify spending $50 a week on feeding my own face while my kids pack a lunch, I pack my lunch (and have for pretty much my entire five-year career at the City).  I have it down to a science, as every day my lunch consists of five items – a sandwich or leftovers, a can of soda, a bag of popcorn, a snack case, and a piece of fruit.  I always make sure I buy enough groceries to cover a week’s worth of lunches, and I diligently guard my lunch items, because I get cranky and irritable when I go to pack a lunch and one of the other members of the household has eaten up one my lunch items.  I have secret stashes of popcorn, and drinking one of my emergency RC Cola’s is a crime punishable by… well, let’s not even think about that, it’s just too heinous!

Sunshine knows that I am very particular when it comes to my five lunch items.  When I was popping my popcorn, she asked if it was okay if she popped a bag of popcorn.  How did she know that at the exact instant that she was inquiring about the availability of popcorn that I was popping my daily allocation?  Hmm…..  Makes one wonder……
