More Humor
Dear Alcohol:
First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.
My friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around in the holiday's hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important,
I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends / girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.
4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products,
aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities.
Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.
Thank you,
Your biggest fan

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench
under a tree when one turns to the other and says . . .
"Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I
know you' re about my age. How do you feel?"
Slim says, "I feel just like a new-born baby."
"Really!? Like a new-born baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants. "

So I'm sitting here at work the other day when the phone rings. There's some snickering on the other end and an older gentleman with a bit of a southern accent speaks up and Starts asking about what he could get for a trade on his '01 CTD, for a new dually. Then I hear more snickering. Then he says something about giving me something like his truck and 20 some thousand towards a new one and the snickering starts again. I asked, "Excuse me sir, but would you be from Arkansas by chance? " He said, "I sure am, how'd ya guess?"
I told him "Sir, this was a pizza shop."
I told him "Sir, this was a pizza shop."

Red,
That ain't funny.
Hope you get a fish hook hung up in your **** and have to hike 10 miles to get it removed.
I ran into that "idiot" at the farm show Friday. I bet y'all didn't know that the new Cummins has 610 hp, and is a dual overhead cam hemi. You can take that to the bank, 'cause a salesman told me that. I rather enjoyed breaking it off in him. He even got in one of the trucks and before he cranked it, he pumped the "gas" pedal several times.
Guess he was Army trained.

You got 10 years on me, but sometimes the Army seems big and sometimes it seems small. Sorry our paths haven't crossed.
