Saw this on the Ace of Spades HQ site this morning, had to share. http://ace.mu.nu/ The Saturday Night Joke A young biker family moved into a house next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young biker family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers. Eventually the construction crew, all of them “gems-in-the-rough” more or less, had adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars “pay” she’d received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied: “I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us.” “Oh my goodness gracious,” said the teller, “and will you be working on the house again this week, too?” The little girl replied, “I will if those assholes from Lowe’s ever deliver the damn drywall.” "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | ||

Sort of reminds me of a story Mel Tillis told of his daughter Pam singing in church as a little girl. After she was finished the pastor knelt down next to her with the microphone. He complimented her on her singing and then mentioned how lovely the frilly, pleated dress she was wearing was. She replied “ Thank you, reverend. Mama says it’s a bitch to iron, though.” ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Outstanding! "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Delusions of Adequacy |
as long as we're on the topic of making extra money... I ran into my neighbor the teacher today. It was heartbreaking, she was working at her second job. Teachers are the most underpaid, unappreciated, yet most valuable people in the world. So anyway, I gave her $50 for a lap dance, so I'm doing my part. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

^ Never had a teacher that would've been allowed through the door of such an establishment. Lucky SOB... A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||
