    Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
    Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts.
    The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
    "Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
    "Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two miles an hour! "The old woman says a bit proudly.
    The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks.
    "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."

    After finding out Paddy had just had sex with his girlfriend for the first time, Murphy asked him how it was.
    "It was amazing," Paddy gushed. "As we were both virgins, made it even more special; it was just a shame that we had to be fairly quiet."
    "Why was that?" Asked Murphy.
    "Her kids were asleep in the bedroom next door," Paddy replied.

    Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
    Jack had to force himself to open his eyes and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in Lipstick:
    "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"
    He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... What happened last night?"
    "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.
    Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"
    His son replies, "Oh THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, I'm married!!"

    Three men worked at a quarry. An Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman. They had all worked there for over ten years.
    One day in the site hut, at lunch, the Englishman opened his sandwiches and said "That's it, if I get ham in my sandwiches again after ten years I will jump from the top of this quarry and kill myself ". The Scotsman opened his sandwich box and shouted "That's it, if I get cheese in my sandwiches again after ten years I will jump from the top of this quarry and kill myself". The Irishman opened his and sighed, "That's it, if I get jam in my sandwiches again after ten years I will jump from the top of the quarry and kill myself".
    The next day arrived and at lunch the Englishman opened his sandwiches, said nothing but climbed to the top of the Quarry and flung himself off to his doom. His bread had ham between the slices.
    The Scotsman opened his sandwiches, said nothing but climbed to the top of the quarry and flung himself off to his doom. His bread had cheese between the slices.
    The Irishman opened his sandwiches, had no one to say anything to, but climbed to the top of the quarry and flung himself off to his doom. His bread had jam between the slices.
    A few days later at the funerals which all took place at the same time in the same graveyard, and next to each other, the Englishman's wife sobbed, "I'm so sorry my love. If I had known you didn't want ham I wouldn't have given it to you. Goodnight Darling". The Scotsman's wife sobbed, "I'm so sorry my love. If I had known you didn't want cheese I wouldn't have given it to you. Goodnight Darling". The Irishman's wife laughed, "Oh Jesus Paddy... So you don't like jam... for the last ten years you've been making your own bloody sandwiches".

    The three businessman: Canadian, Mexican and American, are flying to the meeting...

    ? the pilot comes on the radio and tells the three passengers that they need to throw something that they don?t need. Mexican goes first and throws out tacos. They ask him why he threw that out.

    An English tourist in a Cairo bazaar was offered a large skull by a street-trader. "Dis de skull of great Queen Cleopatra, effendi," said the Egyptian, "only one hundred English pounds."
    "No, thank you," said the Englishman. "It?s far too expensive."
    "How ?bout dis one, effendi?" said the street-trader, producing a small skull.
    "Whose skull is that?"
    "Dis de skull of great Queen Cleopatra when she was little girl!"

    The second monkey looks back and replies "You can put some cold in, if you like".

    A man walks into a bar one night. He goes up to the bar and asks for a beer "Certainly, sir, that'll be 1 cent." ONE CENT that is way too cheap!" exclaimed the guy, the barman replied "Yes." So the guy glances over at the menu, and he asks "Could I have a nice juicy T-Bone steak, with chips, peas, and a fried egg?" "Certainly sir "replies the bartender, but all that comes to real money." "How much money?" inquires the guy. "4 cents", he replies. "FOUR cents!" exclaims the guy. "Where's the Guy who owns this place?" The barman replies, "Upstairs with my wife." The guy says, "What's he doing with your wife?".. The bartender replies, "Same as what I'm doing to his business."

    Because he's dead.

    Three guys are out jogging.
    ...and they turn a corner and are hit by a truck, killing all three. They are then standing in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates. St. Peter asks the first one, "How many times did you cheat on your wife?" The first answers, "Honestly, at least twice a week, every week that I was married. I just couldn't help myself!" St. Peter says, "We know, that's why you get a moped to ride around Heaven with." The guy jumps on the moped and rides off. To the next, St. Peter asks the same question. The second answers, "While I was married, only twice did I ever cheat on my wife. I hated myself afterwards. Please forgive me." St. Peter says, "We know. That's why you get a Cadillac to drive around Heaven with." The guy shouts, "Woo hoo!" and jumps in the car and drives off. Before St. Peter can say anything, the last guy holds up his hand. "From the moment I met my wife, no other women existed!" St. Peter says, "We know, that's why you get a Lamborghini to drive around Heaven with." The guy jumps in the car and drives off.
    About a week later, the guy with the moped sees the guy with the Lamborghini sitting on the side of the road crying. "What happened?" he asks. "I just saw my wife go by on a skateboard!"

    Have a lovely lovely holiday Mick,sun,sea and sand - gorgeous.

    OH found out a third of people may lose their jobs where he works by 2015,part of government privatisation of probation services.

    I got really worried,thinking what if I lose mine (I work for a housing association and all benefit cuts mean potential huge losses in rent which is our main source of income).

    Made me realise how much I worry - neither of these things have happened yet - my manager tells me he just headed off job losses. I can start saving up now - I earn ?200 less a month than in my old job but even so I could save ?300-?200 a month if I cut back. Definitely no cleaner coming now,have also downgraded gym membership,and will start making lunch each day - that's all we can do. I have some savings as well. We're lucky. Focusing on today anyone??:H At least I have made plans for action as well as worrying.

    Other than that half day at work,quick gym sesh, cat to vet then eyebrow dying, then friend coming to give me a back massage - lush!Tonight is lazy evening with DVDs and nice Marks and Spencer food (cheaper and healthier than a takeaway) - happy Friday everyone.
    one day at a time

            Morning all,

            Mick, when you get back from holidays, please send me your curry recipe. Curry is one of my hubby's favorite dishes, I usually use chicken as we are not vegan, and I would love a recipe that is lower in calories. It really is the curry flavor, after all, and not all the fats that make the dish so good.

            Bear, I was reading a story in the Big Book yesterday as part of my assignment. (I am still on Step 1, btw, one of the slower ones in AA after seven or so years. :H:H) At the end of it all, one thing the doctor said was that he learned acceptance rather than expectations was one of the things that helped turn his life around. With things going the way they are around here, it was a very good tale to read. If you have a BB, it is on page 407 and a very short story. You might get a few laughs from it, too. He was quite an alcoholic and addict whose denial was hilarious.

            TT, Thanks for checking in and waves as you flit about the world sober!! :-)

            Blondie, I saw the "tubby" typo yesterday and was too lazy to edit. :H:H Feeling much better today, thank you.

            SF, You sound wonderful. Keep it up. Love to get smiles when others are happy.

            Maryjo/Lav/Mick. I have a gardening issue. Ground squirrels. They are wreaking havoc in my back yard. Have tunnels all around. Darned things are so cute but so destructive. Like the armadillos last year (a shotgun ended up being the answer...) I am going to have to work on eradicating the little guys. Have eaten up several bushes by the roots and just found yesterday they have taken over my new raspberry bed. We have tried several things and I am about to launch all out war. I am worried, though. I hate to kill little critters. Not looking forward to explaining to grandchildren that I am trying to kill Alvin, Simon, Theodore and all their offspring. Any ideas less Draconian?

            Bear, I, too, wish I had a desire to exercise. My best friend and I call exercise the "E" word. Evil. :-) I always feel better when I get into a routine but seldom stick with it. Oddly, when younger I used to run five miles a day. Not sure when I quit doing that.

            Det. Bellying up to a bar and eating coconut cream pie is a whole lot better than drinking. I absolutely do not miss the travel days. Even though it took me another two years to quit drinking after I quit my job, I actually get kind of sick at my stomach at the thought of going back to a traveling job.

            Well, the eastern sky has gone from indigo to violet, so ROYGBIV or VIBGYOR is on its way. A full cup in the tummy (or tubby) and ready to start my day.

            PPQP, Kuya, Wits End and all others, waves from deep south USA.

            I hope all have or are having a serene and sober Friday.

            Love,
            Cindi

              Good morning Abbers,

              I'm fitting the dogs & chickens with life vests this morning! The tropical rains are here, oh boy :H :H
              There will be no gradening for me today & I really hope all the seeds I planted last week don't float away

              TT, hope you get some rest & stay safe!

              Mick, wishing you happy & safe travels as well!
              There's a big herd of bunnies living underneath the chicken house. The house sits of a bed of stones so they just burrow their way in - drives my dogs nuts :H

              Cindi, I don't have a problem with squirrels around here (they are mostly picked off by hawks). I do have an issue with ground hogs though - ugly critters. I don't bother trying to do anything with them since moving here (cow country). Where I used to live we used a Have a Heart Trap. Then we were able to call an animal control officer who took the animals off our hands.

                    MAE ALL...

                    Read the posts this morning and guess I forgot to post myself. :H Just home from work for an hour then back to the garden before the "Severe Thunderstorm" hits.

                    Mick...thanks for the cuppa and for kicking us off before you left. Do you have one of those toy steering wheels on the back of the seat in front of you? :H Is OH riding shotgun or is she a backseat driver? Hope you have wonderful weather for your trip and a grand time.

                    Bear...hope your day went as planned and enjoy the lazy evening.

                    TT...I'll go with "not" so just kick back and enjoy instead of working.

                    Cinders...right back at yeah. Hope you're day is magical.

                    Lav...got any extra life jackets? By the sounds of things I'm going to need one.

                    Got to say the garden is coming along great. Two out of the four compost bins in place and am expecting the other two over the weekend. I plan on having me time this weekend as the boss is back on Monday and I'll have to start in on all the work I didn't do while he was away. Hope everyones having a great AF Friday....PPQP

                        Uggh! I hate lost posts!

                        I am still a bit guarded here. One of the bad connections I made in my life was here. This person caused me alot of trouble. My mistake and I own it. But, I will not allow this person....who claims to read my posts daily....to censor me. Creepy though.

                        Det....I hear you on the miles driven hungover....how did I ever survive it? I bellied up to the bar tonight. I just wanted a good healthy dinner....but the line was an hour long and seats available at the bar. I ordered my water and veggies.....and I was amazed to see that out of 20 seats.....at the bar....only one was sitting there with a half drank fancy dancy drink.

                        Cinders.....I give everyone the wrong impression. I don't love yoga....I just love the way it makes me feel

                        Went to an awesome seminar this morning...."How Do You Attract Business vs. Chasing It"....but at the end....people asked them how to break bad habits. Nothing new to us, but all great advice. Change your routine....even driving to work a different way.....allows your brain to start new pathways.
