Joke: A Senior Moment

DON'T MESS WITH GRANDMA!

This is a true story.An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car,found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.

She dropped hershopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out ofthe car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into driver's seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.
She tried andtried, and then it dawned on her why.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station...

The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing.He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed.

Joke: The Blonde and the Casino

The Blonde and the Casino:

Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the crap table. A veryattractive blonde woman arrived and bet twenty thousand dollars($20,000) on a single roll of the dice.

She said,
"I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier whenI'm completely nude."

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice andyelled, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!"As the dice came to a stop she jumped up and down and squealed...

"YES! YES! I WON, I WON!"

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. The dealersstared at each other dumfounded. Finally, one of them asked,

"What did she roll?"

The other answered,
"I don't know - I thought you were watching."

Moral -Not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men.

That Really Gets On My Nerves

This is the first in a series of things that irritate me. They may sound trivial to you, but get on my nerves. Let me know what your pet peeves are.

• People who don't use their turn signals. Is it that hard to push or pull that stick 1 inch?
• People who can't put their shopping carts in the cart coral.
• Stores that start announcing they are closing 20 minutes before they actually do. I guess they want to rush you into not buying anything.
• Restaurants that have a "Special of the Day". You think they are giving you a break in the price, but if you look it is often the same price.
• People who use vulgarity in public. Hey folks, there are children out there. Hello!
• The misuse of the word jive instead of jibe.

jibe ( P ) (jb)intr.v. Informal jibed, jib·ing, jibes
To be in accord; agree: Your figures jibe with mine.
[Origin unknown.]

jive ( P ) (jv)n.
Jazz or swing music.
The jargon of jazz musicians and enthusiasts.
Slang. Deceptive, nonsensical, or glib talk: “the sexist, locker-room jive of men boasting and bonding” (Trip Gabriel).

Another day, another blog

I've been running a little behind on my blogging, so here is an update from the last week +.

The Sunday before last my wife Char and I had family over for a dinner. Now not only did this family include my mother, but my sister and her husband and my mother's half-brother - Denny and his wife Diane and my mother's half-sister - Mary Lou and her husband Dick.
Now this might not sound very interesting to you, but these are relative I did not know existed until a little over a year ago.

I do alot of genealogy on the internet and I had been looking for information on my mother's father for quite some time now. One day, I came across a posting that had alot of information that matched almost exactly to the information I had. The only problem was the email address on the posting was old and not longer in use.

After doing weeks of searching, I found a new email address for this person and called him. It turned out he was my mother's half-brother! We decided to meet him and his sister and their spouses. Since then we have become closer and found much information about our families. Research on the internet is great and I will post some great genealogy sites coming soon.

What I've been listening to:


If you are a fan of Dennis DeYoung or Styx this is a must for your collection. I have seen Dennis twice with the orchestra and it is fantastic!!!
