Musings of the Chronologically Challenged™ Fourth Generation

 
SILLY SUNDAY

The upcoming week may not be a time for laughs or giggles, so I'm cleaning out some miscellaneous, meaningless mess. There will no doubt be plenty of serious material blogged next week, which I will read, admire, and possibly link, but I will leave the essays up to the erudite bloggers. They're in a league of their own, after all; an enviable league, I might add. So without further ado, grin a little! [Email address: indigoinsights [at] hotmail [dot] com]



TEXAS HUMOR

A pompous minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Texas. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink.

He replied in disgust, "I would rather be savagely raped by a dozen brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips."
The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "I didn't know we had a choice."


WHOA

An Amish woman was driving her buggy to town when a highway patrol officer stopped her. "I'm not going to cite you," said the officer. "I just wanted to warn you that the reflector on the back of your buggy is broken and it could be very dangerous. "I thank thee," replied the Amish lady. "I shall have my husband repair it as soon as I return home."

"Also," said the officer, "I noticed one of your reins to your horse is wrapped around his testicles. Some people might consider that cruelty to animals so you should have your husband check that too." "Again I thank thee. I shall have my husband check both when I get home."

True to her word, when the Amish lady got home she told her husband about the broken reflector. He said he would put another one on immediately. "Also," said the Amish woman, "The policeman said there was something wrong with the emergency brake."

Inner Peace
from Ian Snyder, Gardiner, ME

I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me. By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace....

It reads: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started." I looked around to see all the things I started and hadn't finished. So, today I have finished one bottle of white wine, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of Baileys, my Prozac, a large box of chocolates and a quart of beer. You have no idea how foud I geel.

You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner Peace.

Clinton Memories
from Greg, Ayden, NC

Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from two people who for eight years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

FROM ZELL
via Betsy and Kevin

Zell Miller has written a book about how the Democratic party has written off the South.
"'Once upon a time, the most successful Democratic leader of them all, FDR, looked south and said, 'I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill clad, ill nourished'," Miller writes in the 255-page book. "Today our National Democratic leaders look south and say, 'I see one third of a nation and it can go to hell.' "
