TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES

Another Email with some UFO blather in it. This one implies that almost 60 years ago, witnesses claim that a UFO with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well known (or at least frequently spoken of) incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other government organizations.

Now here is where it gets good.

What you may NOT know the Email goes on to explain is that on this particular day, some nine months after that historic incident in New Mexico, the following people were born: ALBERT A. GORE, JR., HILLARY RODHAM, JOHN F. KERRY, WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, HOWARD DEAN, NANCY PELOSI, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, CHARLES E. SHUMER (?), and BARBARA BOXER.

The in concludes with the following thickheaded statement: “See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?”

I am not always the sharpest knife in the drawer, but to me it is unimaginable the lengths that people will go to in order to interject something ridiculous into the American Political Arena simply because they do not care for a particular candidate.

Researchers have said that “Human Beings use about ten percent of their brain.” If the people that dream up this garbage would just use the “other seventy percent they have left” we would have some interesting Emails. You should not mix the two anyway.

UFO’s and Sheep just are not feasible, C’mon?

In March of 2001, police were baffled to discover a 20 year old Bedouin sheep herder shot dead in the middle of the desert. No one else was around, and not footprints led to or from the scene of the crime.

Investigators from the nearby town sifted through the meager clues surrounding Mochtar’s death, and soon fingered the culprit. The Egyptian man had fallen asleep amid his sheep without securing his rifle.

One moment of neglect, one wooly misstep on the trigger, and a speeding slug sentenced the sleeping shepherd to his final slumber. The unregistered weapon was immediately confiscated from the flock.

The murderous sheep has been sentenced to ewe-thanasia.

No good huh? Okay, did you hear the one about the Ram shooting off the cliff? He missed the Ewe Turn.

B’sides … Everyone knows MONTANA is sheep country, NEW MEXICO is mainly cattle.

Now for the really scary part of all this. What disturbs me more than aliens from distant galaxies, is the distinct possibility that WE are the only life species on the planet and that the Universe is devoid of distant travelers, extra-tessteriostals (sp)

(Hah! Okay, YOU trying spelling that mother!)

If we are truly the best that creation has to offer, and I pray we’re not all there is. If this is true, we are in big trouble.

Meanwhile, I am going back to watching my old TIVO’ed episodes of Star Trek. I especially like the one episode where Scotty beams them all down to Chicago, Ill. and Captain Kirk sez … “Very Funny Scotty! Now beam down our clothes!”

Wow!  I cannot believe this!  Someone used a tag surfer that read, “I Hate My Husband” to locate my page?  I have never at any time, under any circumstances, said that “I hated my husband!”

Now there was this time in a fox hole in Viet Nam back in the sixties when I wasn’t too fond of a guy, but hate?

I never use the word hate.

Good News!  The Arkansas marriage-age-crisis is over. Youngsters in Arkansas no longer can marry. A law that mistakenly allowed anyone — even toddlers — to marry with parental permission was repealed by a measure signed last Wednesday by Gov. Mike Beebe.

Thus ending months of embarrassment for the state and confusion for a multitude of county clerks. (Huckabee, Beebe? Apparently to obtain political favor in that state, all you need in Arkansas are a lot of “bee’s” in your name? I guess it all looks the same on the ballot huh?)

Married children, that one is a hoot.

Arkansas Lawmakers didn’t realize until after the end of last year’s regular session that a law they approved, intended to establish 18 as the minimum age for marriage, instead it effectively removed the minimum age to marry entirely. Slight mistake huh?

All you had to have in Arkansas up until now was parental permission and nothing more. In Oklahoma you don’t have to have a lic. but I believe there is something in there about a 12 or 16 gauge shotgun clause.

I knew a guy that moved over to Arkansas to start a chicken farm. Lot of chickens in Arkansas, Tyson Foods is headquartered there, Wal*Mart too. Anyway this guy, he goes over there gets a bank loan, starts up this chicken ranch and a couple of months later he is back home.

Broke. Went bust. Tapped out tighter than a Government Assisted Home Loan Association in Toledo, Ohio. 

I asked him, “What happened with the chicken ranch thing?” and he said, “They all died.” So I naturally inquired, “What killed them? And he shrugged his shoulders and said, “I dunno, I guess we planted them too deep.”

Now Y’all (Okie Talk), don’t get down on me about people from Arkansas and all that. They are really good people. I know a guy in Los Angeles and he told me that his Mom and Pop drove all the way out there to see him recently.

He asked his dad, “When did you and Ma leave Little Rock?” and the old man replied, “About five weeks ago.”

And the son, somewhat flabbergasted asked him, “What took you so long?”

The old man looked up and said, “Every time we looked up on that thar Interstate, there was these signs that said … Clean Rest Rooms ahead …. I’ll bet you, me and your Maw cleaned a hundred of them dang things!”
