    Re: for Fini

    Last week, I took my grand-children to a restaurant. My six-year-old grand-son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

    Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"

    Hearing this, my grand-son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

    As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my grand-son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

    "Really?" my grand-son asked. "Cross my heart," the man replied.

    Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

    Naturally, I bought my grand-children ice cream at the end of the meal. My grandson stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.

    He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Shove it up your a s s you grouchy old b itch! "

    I was in a pub on Saturday night. Had a few...
    I noticed two large women by the bar.
    They both had strong accents, so I asked. "Hey, are you two ladies from Scotland?"
    One of them chirped: "It's WALES you friggin' idiot!"
    So, I immediately apologized and said..., "Sorry, are you two whales from Scotland?"
    Then the lights went out...

    FUNNY....

    Re: for Fini

    In Jerusalem, a CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was!

    She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

    "I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"

    "For about 60 years."

    "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

    "I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

    "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

    "Like I'm talking to a f***in' wall."

    Re: for Fini

    A lady threw a party for her granddaughter. She had gone all out with a caterer, a band, and even a clown. Just before the party started, two bums showed up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they would chop some wood for her out back. Gratefully, they headed to the rear of the house.

    The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown hadn't shown up. After a half an hour, the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and he would probably not make the party at all.

    The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself. She happened to look out the window and saw one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did midair flips, and leaped high into the air.

    She spoke to the other bum and said, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous. I've never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party? I would pay him $100!"

    The other bum said, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. HEY WILLIE! FOR $100, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?

    AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD
    To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
    Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T.
    I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly
    after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my
    girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important
    message.
    First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants
    when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing
    the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a
    Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP
    pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously
    you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
    I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm
    sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet
    with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
    After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire
    episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other
    people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons
    and was extremely grateful!
    I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your
    wallet. [That made his day!]
    I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke
    the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
    Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while
    mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
    The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
    In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far
    more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through
    some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to
    reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember,
    next time you might not be so lucky.. Have a good day!
    Thoughtfully yours,
    Semper Fi

    Re: for Fini - Gardening With Grandma

    another fun one from Cousin Gwen... the source of most of my recent posts - I've shared a few from here as well               

     
                                            Gardening With Grandma
               
     
      A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with  this see-through blouse on and no bra. 
     
      Her grandmother  just pitched a fit, telling her not  to dare go out like that!
      The teenager tells her 'Loosen up Grams. These are modern times.  You gotta let    your rose buds show!' And out she  goes.
     

      The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is  sitting there with no top on.

      The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not  appropriate...
     

      The grandmother says, 'Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets
    .

    Re: for Fini - Advice...

    A farmer stopped by the local mechanics shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.

    On the way home he stopped at the hardware Store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home.

    While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, 'Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane ?' The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot.' The old lady suggested, 'why don’t you put the can of paint in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?'

    'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home.

    On the way he says 'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time.'

    The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, 'I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me.

    How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?'

    The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?'

    The old lady replied, 'Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.

    My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

    She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,

    "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
    to pay me a compliment.'

    I replied, "Your eyesight's darn near perfect."

    And then the fight started........

    My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
    reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
    drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

    I asked her, "Do you know him?"

    "Yes", she sighed,

    "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
    right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
    hasn't been sober since."

    "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
    celebrating that long?"
