Daily Humor to Make You Smile P. 2
January 23, 2010
Daily Humor to Make You Smile introduced Richard and Terry a while back as well as a few of their friends. Well, let me tell you about the time Terry dressed up Richard as Santa Claus and took him to the mall. Richard sat there chatting with the kids while Terry snapped photos of Santa and the Kid, plus a few additional photos of the young moms accompanying them. You just gotta know Terry to understand. Well, let me put it this way. You just got to know a little something about men. ‘Nuff said.
Well, this one little girl crawled up on Santa’s lap and said she wanted a little brother for Christmas. So Santa (Richard) whispered to her. "Tell your mom to come see me in a minute."
That last story reminds me of Richard and Terry’s friend John. Now you gotta understand that John lives in a small one-horse town in Mississippi just outside Tunica. The receptionist’s desk at the doctor’s office sits in the middle of the waiting room, and there’s no such thing as privacy when talking to the young lady. If that wasn’t enough, she always asks probing questions. So Ol’ John heads up to the doc’s office because he’s having a pretty serious problem.
Sure enough, the young lady looks up and asks, "What are you seeing the doctor about today?"
John answered, "My penis."
You shoulda seen the look of horror that crossed that little filly’s face. "Sir, we’d prefer you be a little more discreet."
John answered, "I ain’t the one who asked the question."
"But, sir," she protested. "You should have said something like, My arm. Then when you got into the doctor’s office you could have talked to him in private." Well, Ol’ John walked out of the office, only to return a few minutes later.
"I need to see the doctor," he said.
"What are you seeing the doctor for today?" the girl asked.
"My arm," he replied.
She smiled at how well the man had followed her advice. "What’s wrong with your arm?" she asked, to which he replied, "I’m having trouble pissing out of it."

Terry and Richard have a friend they call Buddy. I’m not sure anybody knows his real name; he’s just been called Buddy for as long as anyone can remember. Well, Buddy was a victim of corporate greed and watched his job get shipped overseas. What with hundreds of thousands of people losing their job, he simply could not find work of any kind. One day he was standing just outside the labor office and heard people talking about a medical testing company that was looking for test subjects. He got the address and hurried over.
The lady behind the desk looks ol’ Buddy up and down. Then she says, "We only have one test available at the moment. And it’s for men who will mate with gorillas. There’s a fee of $500."
Buddy thought about it for a moment or two. Then he said, "Okay, I’ll do it under three conditions. First, absolutely no one can ever find out I did it. Second, if there is any offspring I want to know that they will be treated humanely. Third, I’ve been off work for several months, so it’s gonna take me some time to come up with the money."
Terry and Richard had been out one night doing some serious damage to the countie’s supply of beer. They flipped a coin to see who would drive home, and Terry won the honor.
He’d driven only two blocks when blue lights began flashing behind him. He pulled over and told Richard, "Keep quiet. I’ll do all the talking ’cause your drunker than me." Richard nodded just as the officer tapped on the driver’s window.
Terry opened the window to see a petite, busty female cop. As explained previously about men, he smiled.
"Sir, would you get out of the car please?" she said.
"Yes, m’am," Terry answered in his best drunk voice. "Anything for you, young lady."
The officer held up her hand. "Sir, I need to tell you that anything you say can and will be held against you."
Terry thought for a moment and said, "Breasts."
Tom the Traveler is another friend of Terry and Richard. They call him the Traveler because he goes to some of the hottest spots in the world for vacation, and he does it every year. Well, the guys wanted to know how he managed to do it.
Tom said, "Well, truth be told, it was a very bad idea. You guys remember that last year it was Hawaii." They nodded. "Well, got back and the wife was pregnant. The year before that it was Paris. Got back and the wife was pregnant. The year before that it was Amsterdam. Got back and the wife was pregnant."
Richard said, "Well, Tom, that sounds like some pretty successful vacations to me. What are you going to do different?"
Tom stretched his back, looked at Terry, than back at Richard. "This year I’m taking the wife with me."

Daily Humor to Make You Smile
January 23, 2010
Americans are too uptight. We all need to step back, relax and smile. I don’t think anyone would get hurt if you just outright laughed out loud. It’s good for you.
That brings to mind a couple friends of mine: Richard and Terry. These guys, both married to wonderful ladies, have another love in their lives: being on the water, well – that and beer. You can find them out boating rivers, lakes and, on occasion, the ocean. It was one such ocean voyage we want to discuss here.
Things did not go exactly as planned, and Richard and Terry found themselves alone in a lifeboat. Days passed. On Day 14, the signal lamp’s battery died. The guys looked at one another for quite a spell before Terry, lamp in hand, said, "What the *&@$ do we do now?"
Richard, being the fun loving guy that he is in just about all circumstances, said, "Why don’t you rub it and see if a genie comes out?"
Terry smiled. "Why the *&@$ not?" He rubbed it furiously. And, sure enough, a beautiful genie appeared. Richard, so taken by her good looks and great physique, just sat there mouth agape and silent when she explained that she was a genie in training and, because of that, could grant them only one wish.
Terry immediately shouted, "Turn the ocean into beer."
That brought Richard out of his trance. "No, no, wait!" he shouted. Too late. The ocean became beer and the genie disappeared. "Damnation, boy," he shouted at Terry. "What were you thinking? Now we’re gonna have to pee in the boat."
Terry and Richard have a friend named Robert who works down at the local appliance store. One day this devastatingly beautiful blond walked into the store and Robert rushed up to her. "May I help you, young lady?" he gushed.
"Yes," she answered. "I want to buy this TV."
Robert was crestfallen. "I’m sorry, m’am. We don’t sell to blondes."
"Okay," she said, and left the store.
A couple days passed, and she dyed her hair brown. She returned to the appliance store and, once again, Robert greeted her. "May I help you, young lady?"
"Yes," she answered. "I want to buy this TV."
Once again, Robert was crestfallen. "I’m sorry, m’am. We don’t sell to blondes."
"Okay," she said, and left the store just like she had the first time. Two weeks passed. She dyed her hair red and returned to the store.
Robert, for the third time, greeted her. "May I help you, young lady?"
"Yes," she said. "I want to buy this TV."
Once again Robert replied, "I’m sorry, m’am. We don’t sell to blondes."
The young beauty turned to square off with him. "Okay, the first time I came in here I had blond hair. You said you didn’t sell to blonds, so I left. But I came back as a brunette and today as a redhead, and you are still saying you don’t sell to blonds. How do you know I’m blond?"
Robert smiled, "Because this is a microwave, not a TV."

Terry and Richard have a lot of friends. One such female friend, Mary, visited her grandmother shortly after the death of her grandfather.
"Memaw," she asked. "What caused Papaw’s death?"
Her grandmother began to explain. "We were making love…"
"Memaw!" Mary shouted. "Don’t you know that’s very dangerous for people your age?"
"No, no, no, honey," her grandmother replied. "We had a perfectly good system. Every Sunday morning the church bells would ring, and it helped us develop a slow, steady, and perfectly safe, rhythm. Forward on the ding and backward on the dong. It was great for years. But, then, one Sunday morning, a damn ice cream truck showed up."
One of Richard and Terry’s friends, a female, is getting up in years and I ain’t about to reveal her name. In her younger days, she had been the belle of the ball at every night club she visited. She was one in-demand honey, if you know what I mean. Anyway, that was then, and this is now. She comes up with an idea about how to reclaim her glory days. One night she goes to the local honky-tonk wearing only a trench coat. Nothing else. Just a trench coat.
She spies one likely looking guy, walks up to him, opens the trench coat and asks, "Super sex?" He jumps up, screams the word disgusting, and runs out of the bar.
So, she looks around and spots a guy who’s not quite as good looking as the first. She walks up, opens her trench coat and says, "Super Sex." He jumps up, screams the word disgusting, and runs out of the bar.
So, she spots a third guy. This one looks quite nerdy, and she figures he hasn’t been with a woman in a long, long time. So, she walks up to him, opens her trench coat, and says, "Super Sex." He looks at the woman and lets his eyes roam up and down her body. "Soup," he answered.

Arkansas Technology
January 18, 2010
Arkansas Technology seems to have been impressive to a Texican who sent me the basic facts for this important news article. I’m not the author of the basic facts, and if he stole them from someone, please accept my apologies and calm down a bit. It ain’t that life-changing. Besides, I made up most of it myself.
New York and California have been competing with one another ever since we allowed California to become a part of the United States. New Yorkers got quite uppity after they bought Manhattan for twenty-four dollars. I don’t know why they got so uppity about it. Just look at what Manahattan has done to the rest of America. Some folks are beginning to believe they should have left the Wall standing instead of turning it into a street.
Archaeologists dug a hole, like archaeologists do from time to time. It seems that at a depth of ten feet they discovered some old copper wire. Now, you know how archaeologists are. If they find something, they got to make it look like a discovery. So they issued a press release saying that New York ancestors had a working phone system long before Alexander Graham Bell strung his cans together.
Californians grabbed their own archaeologists and had ‘em start diggin. Sure enough, at a depth of twenty feet they found some old copper wire and, sure enough, they issued a press release that California had a telephone system 100 years before the one in New York.
About a week after the California discover, Bubba Smith from Hardy, Arkansas was trying to dig a new well out in his pasture. You might have guessed this, but after digging down thrity feet he did not find any copper wire. None, nada, zip. Bein’ the enterprisin’ Arkansan that he is, he wrote to the local newspaper that an Arkie-ologist had determined that 100 years before the folks in California had their copper wire phone system, Arkansas had already gone wireless!

Advantages of Being a Man
July 22, 2009
Advantages of being a man are numerous. For thousands of years men have controlled both government and religion. That’s not to say men are better by any stretch of the imagination; it’s just to say they’ve been in control.And that’s not to say many men are just simply plain stupider than doorknobs; it’s just to say they’ve been in control because there are advantages to being a man.
A friend sent me these advantages so I do not claim ownership to these ideas. I just thought you might like to know about them.

Vintage Photo Wisdom at its Best
June 6, 2009
Vintage photos and vintage postcards provided some great wisdom back when they were popular. I thought we might take a look back with great thanks to the California girl who sent these to me.
Vintage postcards made people think. They also made people smile. As one of the cards states below, laughter is the medicine of life. With that in mind, enjoy these vintage photos and contemplate the sayings.










More Vintage Photos on the Internet
Men in Full – More fat men in vintage postcards – Earlier I posted about fat men in vintage postcards. I don’t know what it is about fat guys and bowling, but the theme comes up often. It’s one of the few illustration themes which show fat men in motion, or in different body postures …

What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up
May 20, 2009
How many times does a child hear that question: what do you want to be when you grow up? Little boys want to be firemen, policemen, soldiers or a superman-like crime fighter. Perhaps a Ninja Turtle? Sports star? Rarely does a kid want to be an accountant or a clerk or bag groceries.
Little girls want to be a princess. Funny thing is, most of ‘em turn out to be just that…, you know, to us guys who know they control the world and dispense the good things to those currently in their favor. Oh, how we want to be in their favor!
Of course, things change for the kiddies after age three or four and they start to get more serious about stuff. Back in the day, kids didn’t have to make up their minds until they, at least, were teenagers. I remember walking across the football field with my date at the Senior Prom to a feller holding a microphone. He asked what I planned to do. I looked at the date on my arm and resisted saying what was on my mind, blurting out some respectable-type job.
Little kids are more observant today, I think. After all the attention devoted to Barack Obama’s election, a whole bunch of kids now wanted to be president. But I’ve never heard of a child wanting to be a scum-of-the-earth lobbyist. Whatever happened to wanting to be like dad or be like mom?
Well, I discovered one little girl who was so inspired by her mommy that she decided to tell the whole world. (continued below)

Who wouldn’t want a lot of men giving them money? This young lady knows what it’s all about. She may have already figured out the power of being a woman.

Wisdom of Benjamin Franklin
May 12, 2009
Benjamin Franklin is one of America’s Founding Fathers. He died April 17, 1790, less than one year after George Washington was sworn in as our nation’s first president. Certainly there are other Founding Fathers about which most of us know very little. Franklin stands out because he lived what he wrote, "If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing."
At age 12 he began an apprenticeship at his brother’s printing business in Boston but left his family at age 17 and moved to Philadelphia. The following year he moved to London to continue his training as a printer. At age 23 he was back in Philadelphia and owner of the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Three years later Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard: An Almanack, which he published for 26 years. During that time he also served as Postmaster of Philadelphia, proposed the creation of the University of Pennsylvania, founded the first American fire insurance company and flew a kite. And I’ll betcha a dime to a donut that more people know about the kite-flying than anything else he did. Sadder still is the number of people who look at a $100 bill and say, "Who’s that old man?" Others may see the Nehru-style collar and long hair and think he’s from the 1960’s instead of the 1760’s.
A Favorite Ben Franklin Quote
"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." (continued below)
Direct From the Horse’s ***
I’ll allow you intelligent people to decide which end of the horse applies. Ben Franklin would have been proud.
Cows pass carbon dioxide when "they do what they do"? Well, let’s see what the folks over at Pop Culture said about it.
And, finally, another example of my favorite quote of ME, "Those who fail to learn from history are stupid."

Kids Still Say the Darndest Things
April 29, 2009
Art Linkletter and his very entertaining television show are long gone, but kids saying the darndest things will always be around. Did you see this one that supposedly written by a preschool teacher? Now, I say supposedly written because I didn’t know preschoolers could write. That’s probably part of what’s wrong with our education system: they got preschoolers teaching.
Anyhow, this one little boy pointed at a picture book and hollered, “A Fricken Elephant!”
The teacher (and I don’t know if this was a real teacher or one of them preschool teachers) replied a mightly quickly, “Danny Quayle Junior the Third! What did you say?”

“It’s A Fricken elephant!”, he repeated. “It says so in the book.”

Change We Can What???
April 19, 2009
I’m reminded of the story of a young feller down in Pine Bluff who had recently hitched himself up all legal and all to one of the cutest fillies in southest Arkansas. For two whole months, he was the honey-do energizer bunny running all around his place a-mowing the yard, fixin his new wife’s car, and just general what-nots that marriage brings to a feller who’s been enjoying the single life for so long. He was beginning to feel the “bind” in the tie that binds. Not to mention he was seriously a-missin his ol drinkin buddies.
So he says to his new bride, “Honey, I’m gonna run down to Billy’s to get a beer.”
“You want a beer, sweetheart?” she answered as she opened up a new styrofoam ice chest sitting next to the store-bought refrigerator. There was six different kinds of beer. He could see his favorite American beer and some from Germany and Holland, too.
“Uh,” he said. (That’s what guys do when you ladies get the best of us like this. We take a moment to pontificate on the situation, and ‘uh’ is usually a good start.) “Uh, but honeypie, I sort of wanted one in a cold mug like Billy uses.” He smiled right smartly as he came up with a solution to his dilemna.
“Oh, you want a cold mug, honey bunchkins?” she said as she drew open the freezer door and showed him a whole dozen frozen mugs that was so cold Sarah Palin woulda thought she’d just stepped outside to gander over at Russia.
“Ummm, uh,” he said as the smile quickly fell plumb offn his face. “Uh, but munchkins, Billy has those pickled pigs feet and nachos and boiled eggs and stuff that really makes beer go down smooth.” He cracked the beginnin of a smile but was afraid to go overboard like he’d done before.
Sure enough, his wife opened the over door and puled a dishtowel off stuff she had covered up on that formica counter and there was nachos and pickled pigs feet and boiled eggs and chicken wangs and tamales and bratwurst. “You want something to make the beer go down smoother, sweetiepie?”
“Ummm, huh, uh,” he whispered a might softly. “What a wonderful wife you are, bunchkins. But I kinda miss the coarse talkin of the guys down at Billys.”
His new bride turned to face him headon with her hands on her hips, “Listen dirtbag. You sit your butt down in that chair, shut your dadgum mouth, drink this beer in this cold mug, eat this food…and forget all about ever goin to Billys again!”
And they lived happily ever after. Well now, America is a-needin some changes to take place and some of those changes will mean we do things a little different than before. After all, that’s what change is. We need to think about the way we use energy and the way we use healthcare and the way we treat the environment. And them big ol’ companies need to start thinkin about how they been treatin their employees by bringin in cheaper labor from overseas or sending jobs overseas.
Wall Street has turned companies into analysts-driven businesses rather than customer-driven businesses. They forget that there ain’t no business without loyal customers and good employees who turn customers into loyal customers.
You and I need to stop bein one-issue citizens and take a look at the whole picture. Think about that before you pour petroleum-based paint on somebody’s fur coat or coonskin hat. And, why are some of you folks so all-fired up about denyin rights to other folks that you want for yourselves?
