Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed my
golf bag, slipped quietly into the garage and proceeded to back out into a
torrential down pour. The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the
radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
There I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and
whispered, ‘The weather out there is terrible.’

My loving wife of 20 yrs replied, ‘Can you believe my stupid husband is
playing golf in that weather?’

I still don’t know to this day if she was joking, but I have stopped playing golf


An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said, ‘No, I’d like to see something more special.’
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. ‘Here’s a stunning ring at only $40,000,’ the jeweler said.
The young lady’s eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, ‘We’ll take it.’
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, ‘by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I’ll write it now, and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I’ll pick the ring up Monday afternoon,’ he said.
Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man.
‘There’s no money in that account.’
‘I know,’ said the old man, ‘But let me tell you about my weekend!’

STUNNING SENIOR MOMENT

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football
game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next
to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand
his generation.

‘You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,’
the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. ‘The
young people of today are much more advanced than people your age. We
grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the
moon and the internet. We have cell phones, nuclear energy, electric
and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manufacturing, amazing
technologies, …and,’ pausing to take another drink of beer.

The senior took advantage of the break in the student’s litany and
said, ‘You’re right, son. We didn’t have those things when we were
young…..so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what
are YOU doing for the next generation?’ The applause was resounding…

I love senior citizens

Watch Your Punctuation: Periods Happen

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours? Gloria

Golf in Heaven

An old man and his wife were driving home one evening from a golf tournament. When they forgot to stop at a stop sign they were hit by a train and killed. When they arrived at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter was checking them in and he asked, “Do you like golf?”

The man said, “Of course.”

St. Peter said, “You’re in luck, you have a tee time at eight o’clock in the morning”

At eight the next morning, the man arrived at the first tee and was partnered up with Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan. He was enthralled. He played brilliantly on an exceptionally beautiful course. After he finished, he walked up to the golf club where his wife was waiting on the veranda. She said, “How did it go? ” He raised his hand and slapped her hard.

“Why did you do that?”, she asked.

“If it hadn’t been for you and your damn bran muffins,” the man said, “I could have been here 10 years ago.”


home depot scam

A”heads up” for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.

Here’s how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say “No” and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th. Also December 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Walmart has wallets on sale 2.99 each
