There was this man who walked into a bar and says to the bartender 10 shots of whiskey. The bartender asks, "What's the matter?" The man says, "I found out my brother is gay and marrying my best friend." The next day the same man comes in and orders 12 shots of whiskey. The bartenders asks, "What's wrong this time?" The man says, "I found out that my son is gay." The next day the same man comes in the bar and orders 15 shots of whiskey. Then the bartender asks, "Doesn't anyone in your family like women?" The man looks up and says, "Apparently my wife does."

One time years ago I had a big yellow cat. He was huge, prolly (yes I can spell probably) around twenty pounds or so. One day I went to go take the garbage out and I found a full grown opossum in my garbage can. He was stuck in there and he was a hissin and spittin and he was damn mad. Being the natural born teacher that I am I thought I would give our cat a nature lesson and let him see exactly what a pissed off full grown opossum looks like. I found the cat and holding him oh so tight I walked over to the trash can and let the cat look down at the snarling opossum. The next nanosecond of my life was pure terror. The cat ripped me to shreds getting out of arms. He clawed his way up the front side of me then proceeded to lay down some tracks down my backside. In an instant I was a bloody mess. The cat was gone in an instant. The opossum was still pissed off and I was in a state of complete shock and disarray. I learned that day to never, ever try to teach a cat about pissed off opossums. The above link is a tribute to that Opossum.

Save American jobs.
Boycott self check out at all the stores you do business with.
Do you remember the service station attendant? When I got out of high school one of the places most young men got their first job was at a gas station. Along came self serve gas pumps. Now there is no such thing as a gas station attendant. (except in Oregon and Rhode Island). Do you use the ATM at the bank. Soon there will not be a teller at your bank. Mark my words friends, soon there will not be checkers at grocery stores or tellers at banks, just like there isn't a gas station attendant at your favorite gas station. Think how many people have jobs as checkout clerks or tellers. Do you think that the stores that use self check out will pass the savings on to the consumer? I doubt it. Boycott self check out no matter how long you have to wait in line. Your neighbors job may depend on it. If you've taken the time to read this post I would like a comment letting me know if you think I am right or wrong.
