Great people talk about ideas.

And legends, like us, never talk...we just drink

G'day All

This working and blogging is getting harder each day, so will post whenever time allows

The West Coast Eagles lost another game on the weekend,

but still remain on top of the League Ladder

One of our Star players Chris Judd,

was reported by the men in white with a whistle

Has been given a one match suspension

for attempted eye gouging.

No doubt the club will be appealing tomorrow

The good news is that we had some great rainfall on Sunday night

Good soaking rainfall

Warning!

I'm not usually one for posting warnings

about potential scams but I hada close call on Sunday.

I walked into Bunning's Hardware at lunchtime

and someold guy dressed in a red shirt with a green apron

on asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted him out.

Those less suspecting might not be so lucky.

Very funny advert

Home Sweet Home


My wifes book is bigger than that


A guy walks into a bar and sees a gorgeous woman nursing a drink.
Walking up behind her he says,
"Hi there, good lookin'. How's it going?"
Having already downed a few power drinks,
she turns around, faces him,
looks him straight in the eye and says,
"Listen up, buddy. I screw anybody, any time,
anywhere, your place, my place, in the car,
front door, back door, on the ground,
standing up, sitting down, naked or with clothes on, dirty, clean ...
It just doesn't matter to me.
I've been doing it ever since I got out of college and I just flat-ass love it."
Eyes now wide with interest, he responds,
"No kidding. I'm a lawyer too. What firm are you with?"

Short and funny Words of Wisdom
At pilots training back in the Air Corps they taught us,
"Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of take offs you make."
Aspire to inspire before you expire.
My wife and I had words, but I didn't get to use mine.
Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses.
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.
The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere.
God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question.
I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.
Every morning is the dawn of a new error

NEW YORK -- A public school teacher was arrested today at
John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board
a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor,
a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
said he believes the man is a member
of the notorious Al-gebra movement.
He did not identify the man,
who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
"Al-gebra is a problem for us," Gonzales said.
"They desire solutions by means and extremes,
and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.
"They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y'
and refer to themselves as 'unknowns',
but we have determined they belong to a common denominator
of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.
As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say,
'There are 3 sides to every triangle'.
"When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said,
"If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction,
He would have given us more fingers and toes.
"White House aides told reporters they could not recall a
more intelligent or profound statement by the president.

Something to get you hoppin and boppin for the weekend

Judson Laipply Evolution of Dance

The Louisiana State Police received reports of illegal

cock fights being held in the area around Layfette,

and duly despatched the infamous

Dectectice Desormeaux to investigate

He reported to his sergeant the next morning

'Dey is tree main groups in dis cock fighting" he began

"Good work, who are they?" the sergeant asked

Desormeaux replied confidently,

"De Aggies, de Cajuns, and de Mafia"

Puzzled, the sergeant asked,

"How did you find that out in one night?"

'Well, was the reply "I went down and done seed dat cock fight

I knew the Aggies was involved when a duck

was entered in de fight".

The sergeant nodded, "I'll buy that.

But what about the others"

Desormreaux intoned knowingly, 'Well, I knowed the

Cajuns was involved when somebody bet on the duck"

'Ah," said the sergeant, "and how do you deduce the Mafia was involved?"

"De duck won"

Two priests are in a Vatican bathroom using the urinals.

One of them looks at the other one's penis

and notices there's a Nicoderm patch on it. .....

He looks at the other priest and says

"I believe you're supposed to put that patch

on your arm or shoulder, not down there!" .....

The other priest replies,

"Its working just fine,

I'm down to two butts a day!!" .....

IF YOU LAUGH.........YOU'LL GO TO HELL!!!

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little
PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his
hand and George asks him his name.
Stanley," responds the little boy. And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I have 4 questions: First, why did the US invade Iraq without the
support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more
votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why are we
so worried about gay-marriage when half of all Americans don't have
health insurance? "

Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies
that they will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right,
question time. Who has a question?"

Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him
his name.
"Little Johnnie" he responds. And what is your question, Little
Johnnie?"

"Actually Sir, I have 6 questions: First, why did the US invade Iraq
without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al
Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when half of all
Americans don't have health insurance? Fifth, why did the recess bell go
off 20 minutes early? And sixth, what the hell happened to Stanley?"

G'day all

Its Tuesday and we are into another week of work, work, work

Fuel prices here in the West,

like most other places have gone thru the roof

and the oil companies are again making zillions,

with every little panic situation in the world

they push up the price

I think this says it all







Enough of that doom and gloom we are here to smile

Some advice to put you in a good mood





Oldie but Goldie
The train was quite crowded,
so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat,
but the only seat left was taken by a
well dressed,middle-aged, French woman's poodle.
The war-weary Marine asked,
"Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular,
"Americans areso rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
The Marine walked the entire train again,
but the only seat left was under that dog.
"Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired."
She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!"
This time the Marine didn't say a word;
he just picked up the little dog,
tossed it out the train window,
and sat down.
The woman shrieked,
"Someone must defend my honor!
Put this American in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up,
"Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant
for doing the wrong thing.
You hold the fork in the wronghand.
You drive your autos on the wrong side ofthe road.
And now, sir, you seem to have thrown
the wrong bitch out the window."











An Amish woman and her daughter were
riding in an old buggy one cold blustery day.
The daughter said to her mother,
"My hands are freezing cold."
The mother replied
"Put them between your legs.
Your body heat will warm them up."
The daughter did - and her hands warmed up.
The next day the daughter was riding
with her boyfriend who said,
"My hands are freezing cold."
The girl replied, "Put them between my legs.
The warmth of my body will warm them up"
He did and warmed his hands.
The following day the boyfriend was again
in the buggy with the daughter.
He said, "My nose is cold."
The girl replied"Put it between my legs.
The warmth of my body will warm it up."
He did and warmed his nose.
The next day the boyfriend was again
driving with the daughter and he said,
"My penis is frozen solid."
The following day the daughter was driving
in the buggy with her mother,
and she says to her mother,
"Have you ever heard of a penis?"
Slightly concerned the mother said,
"Why, yes. Why do you ask?"
The daughter replies,
"They make one hell of a mess when they defrost,
don't they?"

It's deer, dear
A man kills a deer and takes it home,
where his wife cooks it for dinner.
When their little daughter sees the unfamiliar meat,

she asks her father what it is.
"Well", says dad,

"It's what mummy calls me sometimes."
"Don't eat it!" the little girl screams,

"It's an asshole!”

The homeowner got into his grubbiest clothes
on Saturday morning and set about all the
chores he'd been putting off for weeks.
He'd cleaned the garage,
pruned the hedge,
and was halfway through mowing the lawn
when a woman pulled up in the driveway
and yelled out her window,
"Say, what do you get for yard work?"
The fellow thought for a minute,
then answered,
"The lady who lives here, lets me sleep with her."

Three aspiring psychiatrists, from three universities,
were attending their first class on emotional extremes.
"Just to establish some parameters."
said the professor to the student from University of Tennessee,
"What is the opposite of joy?"
"Sadness'" said the student."
And the opposite of depression?"
he asked the young lady from University of Memphis.
"Elation," she said.
"And you, sir," he said to the student from University of Arkansas,
"How about the opposite of woe?"
The student replied,
"Sir, I believe that would be giddy up."

Another funny Beer ad from Budweiser


I was meeting a friend in a bar,
and as I went in,
I noticed twopretty girls looking at me.
"Nine," I heard one whisper as I passed.
Feeling pleased with myself,
I swaggered over to my buddy
and told him a girl hadjust rated me a nine out of ten.
"Idon't want to ruin it for you", he said
"But when I walked in they were speaking German".




A minister waited in line to have his car
filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.
The attendant worked quickly,
but there were many cars ahead of him
in front of the service station.
Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, "sorryabout the delay.
It seems as if everyone waits until
the last minute to get ready for a long trip.
"The minister chuckled,
"I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."



A few Cartoons to put a smile on your dial






An old preacher was dying.
He sent a message for his accountant and his lawyer,
both church members, to come to his home.
When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom.
As they entered the room,
the preacher held out his hands
and motioned for them to sit on either side of the bed.
The preacher grasped their hands,
sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.
For a time, no one said anything.
Both the accountant and the attorney
were touched and flattered that the old preacher
would ask them to be with him during his final moments.
They were also puzzled because the preacher
had never given any indication that
he particularly liked either one of them.
Finally, the lawyer asked,
“Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?”
The old preacher mustered up some strength,
then said weakly,
“Jesus died between two thieves,
and that’s how I want to go, too.”
A man sped down the highway,
feeling secure in a group of cars
all traveling at the same speed.
However, when he passed a patrol car,
it pulled out behind him, lights flashing.
The police officer handed him a citation,
took the driver's signature
and was starting to walk away when the man said,
"Officer, I know I was speeding,
but I don't think it's fair.
Plenty of other drivers around me were going just as fast.
Why did I get a ticket?"
"Ever go fishing?" the policeman asked.
"Um, yeah ..." the startled man replied.
"Ever catch all the fish?"

I just love this song Sloop John B by the Beach Boys
Here are two versions of the song

and the second is a more recent updated version
Both are fantastic
