GOLF
Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer . * Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks. * Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls. * If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble. * Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot. * The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase "maul it again." * A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ... neither of whom can putt very well. * An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse. * Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink. * If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme putt", you might wish to reconsider this game. * Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you. * Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work , and both are expensive. * The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil. |

Florida Seniors:
:chillout: A little old lady was sitting on a park bench in The Villages, a Florida adult community. A man walked over and sits down on the other end of the bench. After a few moments, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger here?" He replies, "I lived here years ago." "So, where were you all these years?" "In prison," he says. "Why did they put you in prison?" He looked at her, and very quietly said, "I killed my wife." "Oh!" said the woman. "So you're single..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A man was telling his neighbor in Sun City Center, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect." "Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?" "Twelve thirty." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A little old man shuffled slowly into the "Orange Dipper", an ice cream parlor in Leesburg, and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?" "No," he replied, "arthritis." |

Re: August Chuckles
I hope I recall this (SUPPOSEDLY TRUE) story correctly. It was on my old computer and crashed but was hilarious.
A young couple had moved into an apartment and the husband had no place to work on his motorcycle so he brought it through the sliding doors into the eat in kitchen area. In the midst of performing maintenance the bike falls over on him. He's suspected to have broken bones (someplace can't remember) so his wife calls 911 for paramedics. While the bike is on its side gasoline starts leaking all over the floor. She cleans up the gas with paper towels and throws the saturated towels in the toilet. The husband finally gains some of his composure and goes to the bathroom. He sits on the commode and lights a cigarette throwing the match between his legs. The wife heard an explosion only to find that her husband had been blown off the toilet. (It gets better) So the FD and MEDS arrive. The husband is placed carefully on a stretcher and in the process of taking him to the ambulance they asked his wife what had happened. She proceeds to tell them and the guys started laughing so hard they dropped him. He sustained a broken arm from this fall. This may not be the exact scenario but it has to be close. Steve |
Re: August Chuckles
I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. This actually happened in Austin at MoPac Boulevard and Parmer Lane .
They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail. I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free." "They're already buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free" She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door. They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail. One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said, "Where?" They Walk Among Us! While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with that stuff." They Walk Among Us!! I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific." They Walk Among Us! My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They Walk Among Us! My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. They Walk Among Us! I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?" They Walk Among Us! While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces." Yep, They Walk Among Us! They Walk Among Us, AND they reproduce, and WORST OF ALL.....they VOTE! Have A Great Day |

7 reasons not to mess with children:
:yikes: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face." "Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, ”’cause your feet ain't empty." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: take only ONE . God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples." |
Re: August Chuckles
Homer, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM.
He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up to the TV. The 10:00 PM news was now on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a tall building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Homer and said, "Do you think he'll jump?" Homer replied, "You know, I bet he'll jump." The blonde said, "Well, I bet he won't." Homer placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on." Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar,the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.? The blonde was very upset and handed $20 to Homer saying, "Fair"s fair, here's your money." Homer replied, "I can't take your money,? I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump." The blonde replied, "I saw it too, but I didn't think he'd do it again." Homer took the money. |
Re: August Chuckles
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey.
He orders a drink, and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them. Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. He then jumps onto the pool table and grabs one of the billiard balls. To everyone's amazement, he sticks it in his mouth, and somehow swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table... whole!" "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy, "he eats everything in sight. Sorry! I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." The guy finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate and leaves. Two weeks later the guy is in the bar again, and has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. Then the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "No, what?" replied the man. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his butt, pulled them out, and ate them!" said the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. "Since he **** that cue ball, he measures everything first!" A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey.

Re: August Chuckles
Dog Pack Attacks Gator in Florida
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty. The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator,' can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality' bred into the canines. See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator. Not for the squeamish! :yikes: page down... page down... page down... page down... page down... page down... http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...igatordogs.jpg :a20: :a20: :a20: :a20: :a20: :a20: :a20: |
