"New
sign coming soon to
the Hwy 21 exit ramp
on I-95..."
Well, it's
another Daisy Belle's issue of
The Spirit. I don't know why I'm
even bothering to write a column
this week. According to Allison,
nobody'll be reading this.....
...Hope everyone
had a great Memorial Day
weekend! Pretty tough getting
back to work Tuesday though,
especially when Tuesday's your
deadline!
... A lawyer and
a blonde woman are sitting next
to each? other on a long flight.
The lawyer asks if she would
like to play a fun game. The
blonde is tired and just wants?
to take a nap, so she politely
declines and tries to catch a
few winks. The
lawyer persists, saying that the
game is a lot of fun. "I
ask you a question, and if you
don't know the answer, you pay
me only $5; you ask me one, and
if I don't know the answer, I
will pay you $500."
This catches
the blonde's attention; and,
to keep him quiet, she agrees
to play the game. The lawyer
asks the first question.
"What's the distance from
the earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word,
reaches into her purse, pulls
out a five-dollar bill, and
hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the
blonde's turn. She asks the
lawyer, "What? goes up a
hill with three legs, and
comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses
his laptop, searches all
references. He uses the
airphone; he searches the net
and even the Library of
Congress. He sends e-mails to
all the smart friends he
knows, all to no avail.
After one hour
of searching he finally gives
up. He wakes up the blonde and
hands her $500. The blonde
takes the $500 and goes back
to sleep.
The lawyer is
going nuts not knowing the
answer. He wakes her up and
asks, "Well, so what goes
up a hill with three legs and
comes down with four?"
The blonde
reaches into her purse, hands
the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
...Things I
learned while
reading about
other things...
- A Catholic
priest in Wisconsin has
fired the church?s
organist/choir director,
noting that her ?sale of sex
toys was not consistent with
Church teachings.?
- Only in
California... Two brothers
have been charged with Grand
Theft after convincing
people they were faith
healers, and that their
clients were ?cursed? and
could only be healed by
buying an expensive
cleansing ritual. Their
story came to light after
rumors of a man spending
$10,000 to have his little
girl heal were found to be
true!
- An
Albuquerque man has been
arrested for his 28th DUI.
Deputies spotted the man
when he parked, then got out
of his truck and fell on his
face. He plead not guilty
even though he was too
intoxicated to complete his
field sobriety tests.
...Time for some
Cruel and Unusual Pun-ishment...
Back in the
1800's, the Tates Watch Company
of Massachusetts wanted to
produce other products and,
since they already made the
cases for watches, they used
them to produce compasses. The
new compasses were so bad that
people often ended up in Canada
or Mexico rather than
California. This,
of course, is the origin of the
expression, "He who has a
Tates is lost!"
...Take care this
week, stay safe, and in the
words of the great Red Skelton,
"May God Bless."
