My Wish forYou in 2009

 
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
 May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.
 May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
 May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires
 and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

IF YOU SEE A FAT MAN.

Who's jolly and cute,
Wearing a beard and a red flannel suit,
And if he is chuckling and laughing away,
While flying around in a
miniature sleigh,
With eight tiny reindeer to
pull him along, 
Then let's face it...
Your eggnog's too strong!
Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!

Death row inmates denied health care

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Death row inmates at the federal prison in Terre Haute are routinely denied access to medical, dental and mental health care, the American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday in a letter to a governmental official.
A year-long investigation by the ACLU's National Prison Project uncovered "grossly inadequate" conditions that "fail to meet constitutional standards and jeopardize the health and safety" of the more than 50 inmates awaiting execution at the prison, the organization said in a letter to Harley Lappin, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
"The Constitution prohibits deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of prisoners, including those sentenced to die," ACLU attorney Gabriel B. Eber said in a news release. He called on officials to "do whatever is necessary" to correct the problems.
Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce said she could not comment because she was not sure whether Lappin had seen the letter.
Eber said his investigation included interviews with prisoners and a review of hundreds of pages of prison records.
 
According to the letter, prison officials do not promptly respond to medical emergencies, provide "woefully deficient" access to acute health care and consistently ignore signs of possibly serious medical conditions. It cited one instance of an inmate, who was not identified, pressing an emergency call button in his cell for 45 minutes before receiving attention for a heart problem.
It took three hours for a doctor to arrive and for the prisoner to be taken to the prison hospital, and another five days before the prisoner received his first dose of medication prescribed by a cardiologist.
"The failure of prison officials to adequately respond to the medical emergencies of prisoners, and to ensure proper access to critical medications, is inexplicable and could well result in prisoner deaths," Eber said.
The letter also said inmates are subjected to intense noise that results in sleep deprivation and "significant psychological distress."

Service

I became confused when I heard these terms with reference to the word 'service'.  

Internal Revenue   'Service'
U.S. Postal   'Service'
Telephone  'Service'
TV   'Service'   
Civil  'Service'
State, City & County  Public   'Service'
Customer  'Service'


This  is not what I  thought 'service' meant. But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few cows. BAM!!!  It all came into focus. Now  I understand what all those 'service' agencies are doing to us.  

I hope you are as enlightened as I am.

Crazy Ol' Miner

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

A woman...

visited her plastic surgeon who told
her about a new procedure
called "The Knob," where a small knob is
placed at the top of the woman's
head and could be turned to tighten up her
skin and produce the effect of a
brand new face-lift. Of course, the woman
wanted "The Knob."

Over the course of the years, the woman
tightened the knob, and the
effects were wonderful, the woman remained
young looking and vibrant.
After fifteen years, the woman returned to
the surgeon with two problems.
"All these years, everything has been working
just fine. I've had to turn
the knob many times and I've always loved the
results. But now I've
developed two annoying problems: First, I have
these terrible bags under
my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them."

 The doctor looked at her closely and said,
"Those aren't bags, those are  your breasts."

 She said, "Well, I guess there's no point in
asking about the goatee."

what will you give

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam going into downtown Chicago .
Nothing is moving   
      north or south. Suddenly a man knocks on his window..

      The driver rolls down his window and asks, 'What happened, what's
the hold up?'     
      'Terrorists have kidnapped Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton,
Oprah
Winfrey
, Rosie       
      O'Donnell, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are asking for a
$10 Million ransom. 
      Otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set
them on fire. We are   
      going from car to car taking up a collection.'

      The driver asks, 'On average, how much is everyone giving?'



      ' About a gallon.'

I Kissed A Girl (Parody) - Katy Perry - Elderly Remix

Drafting Guys

 Over 60

(This is so funny & obviously written by a former soldier.)

New Direction for the war on terrorists. Send Service Vets over 60 years old.

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters:

Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts ! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry.' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some idiot that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

An 18 -year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-b____.

If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.

 
Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at, and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course, however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any push ups after completing basic training. I can hear the Drill Sgt. in the 'New army' now, 'Get down and give me . ER ... one.'

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million pissed-off old farts with 'attitude' and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.

If nothing else, put us on border patrol ... we will have it secured the first night !

Darn women drivers!!



I know everyone reading this will enjoy it - no matter which sex you are. 

This morning on the Interstate,
I looked over to my left and there was a

Woman 

In a brand new 
Cadillac 



Doing 75 mph



With her 
Face
, up next to her 

r
ear view mirror 

Putting on her eyeliner. 


I looked away 


f
or a couple seconds! 


And when I looked back she was 


h
 alfway over in my lane, 


s
 till working on that makeup. 


As a man, 


I don't scare easily. 



But she sca
r ed me so much;

 

I dropped

 


My electric shaver 
, 


w
 hich knocked 

The donut 


Out of my other hand. 

In all

 
 

 


t
 he confusion of trying

 
 

 


t
 o straighten out the car 


u
sing my knees against

 
 

 


the steering wheel, 



it knocked 


my cell
 phone 


away from my ear
, 


which fell
, 


into the coffee 


between my legs, 



splashed, 



and burned 



Big Jim and the Twins,
 


ruined the damn phone, 


soaked my trousers, 



and disconnected an 
important call. 



Darn women dr

2008 Darwin Awards!!!

 

You've been waiting for them with bated breath, so without
further ado here are the 2008  Darwin Awards............


Eighth
Place
In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned
in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an
18-inch-wide
sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place
A
49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who 'totally zoned when
he ran,'
accidentally, jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily
run.

Sixth Place
While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21,
dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been
sitting in
a beach chair at the bottom! When it t collapsed, burying him
beneath 5
feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels
trying to
get him out but co uld not reach him. It took rescue wor kers
using heavy
equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead
at a
hospital.

Fifth Place
Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed
as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was
burglarizing.
Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his
mouth to
keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit
the
floor.

Fourth Place
Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was
killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a
revolver
loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the
trigger.

Third Place
After stepping around a marked
police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into
H&J
Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was
full of
customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter.
Upon
seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up! and
fired a
few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk
promptly
returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and
fired. The
robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime
scene
investigators locat ed 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop.
The
subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics
identified
rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was
hurt.

HONOURABLE MENTION
Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife
Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. so they lit a
quarter
stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would
happen.
Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed.

RUNNER
UP

Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of
them
said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local
bridge in the
middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at
least 10 men
trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon a
rrival at the
midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a
bungee
rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and
pointed out
that a coil of line man's cable, lay near by. They secured one
end around
Bingham's leg and then tied the other to the bridge. His fall
lasted 40
feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the
ankle. He
miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was
rescued by two
nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.


AND THE WINNER IS...
Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (
Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of
animal
laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes
before the
plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.
Investigators say ill-fated
Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an
olive oil
enema when the relieved beast unloaded.
The sheer force of the
elephant's unexpected de fecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the
ground
where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to
evacuate
200 pounds of dung on top of him.
It seems to be just one of thos e
freak accidents that proves... 'Shit happens'


IT ALWAYS
SEEMS IMPORTANT TO THANK THESE PEOPLE FOR REMOVING THEMSELVES
FROM THE
GENE
POOL

A Quickie in the Bushes

There are two statues in a park; one of a nude 
man and one of a nude woman.   They had been facing each other across a pathway for a hundred years, when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single gesture,  brings the two to life.
  
The angel tells them, "As a reward for being 
so patient through a hundred blazing summers and dismal winters, you have been given life for thirty minutes to do what you've wished to do the most." 
  
He looks at her, she looks at him, and they go 
running behind the shrubbery. 
  
The angel waits patiently as the bushes rustle 
and giggling ensues. After fifteen minutes, the two return, out of breath and laughing. 
  
The angel tells them, "Um, you have fifteen 
minutes left, would you care to do it again?" 
  
He asks her "Shall we?" 
  
She eagerly replies, "Oh, yes, let's!
 
But let's change positions. This time, I'll hold the  pigeon down and you shit on its head."

Idle Thoughts of a Retiree's Wandering Mind

        I planted some bird seed.  A bird came up.  Now I don't know  what to feed it.
      ~~~
      I had amnesia once -- or twice.
      ~~~
      I went to 
San Francisco.  I found someone's heart. Now what?
      ~~~
      Protons have mass?  I didn't even know they were Catholic.
      ~~~
      All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
      ~~~
      If the world were a logical place, men would be the ones who ride side saddle.
      ~~~
      What is a "free" gift?  Aren't all gifts free?
      ~~~
      Someone told me I was gullible and I believed them.
      ~~~
      Teach a child to be polite and courteous and, when he
 grows up, he'll never be able to merge his car onto the freeway.
      ~~~
      Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is
 gone.
      ~~~
      One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other
  people.
      ~~~
      My weight is perfect for my height -- which varies.
      ~~~
      I used to be indecisive.  Now I'm not sure.
      ~~~
      The high cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.
      ~~~
      How can there be self-help "groups"?
      ~~~
      If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain
 whales?
      ~~~
      Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show
 you a man who can't get his pants off.
      ~~~
      Is it just me--or do buffalo wings really taste like chicken?

AUNTY SHARON ...

 
 

A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens.. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken.'

'What's the moral of that story?' asked the teacher.

'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'

'Very good,' said the teacher.



Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are farmers too.. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.'

'That was a fine story Sarah.'

Little Johnny, do you have a story to share?'



'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon who was a RAF flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whisky on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 Iraqi soldiers. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of ammunition. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.'

'Good heavens, that's some story,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?'

'Stay the f**k away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking.'

Unbelievable

The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'

Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.'

OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'

Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'

A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.

The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple str uggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.

So, as the couple passes, he says to them,' Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'

Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, 'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence.
