Cast Thy Booty On The Water

church-ladyTwo women have opened an unusual specialty shop in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Lingerie for religious women.  The Seek Ye First Lingerie Shop appeals to women who want to be “alluring” but not “sleazy,” said the two Baptist owners.  Apparently customers like the idea — the owners report brisk sales at the “thong rack.”

Hallelujah our prayers have been answered!  Ah Love.  There is a difference between love and sex.  Sex is for reliving tension and of course, love is what causes it.

Not So Swift Cracker

In Smyrna, Georgia a man was arrested after sending a hoax anthrax letter to the police chief … The tip off?  His return address was on the envelope.  I mean ….. Duh?  Can’t believe that?  Okay, try this.  “Yeah, I called earlier asking why my power was out, and you said it was because of the storm.  If that’s so, how come I just saw a car drive by my house a few minutes ago, and its lights were on?” From Leland H. Gregory’s book, “What’s the number for 9-11 again?”

Stella!  Stella!  No, wait, Adrian!  Adrian!

How about another Rocky?  Sly Stallone would love to bring Rock and Rambo back to the silver screen, but at his age, the Hollywood star fears his chances are slim.  The prospect of ANYONE paying good money to go see it is slim or next to nothing.   Traditionally movies during a recession or depression do rather well, one of the few items in a sinking economy that will still make a buck.

Heavenly Pay Back

A mother of three in the UK who claims that she had been visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses every month, for over 12 years, became fed up, stormed into Kingdom Hall, in Peace Haven, East Sussex, during a Jehovah’s Witness Service.

She began “handing out free magazines to see if they would like a copy, just like the copies of The Watchtower the Jehovah’s Witnesses hand out.  Nobody seemed to want them though and she wouldn’t leave until the police arrived.

This is why they are called “Dopers.”

A Ft. Smith Arkansas couple who called to report the theft of marijuana from their home, according to police.  And were promptly arrested for cultivation and drug paraphernalia.  And on the seventh day, God stepped back and said, “There is my creation, perfect in every way.  Oh damn it, I left pot all over the place.  Now they’ll think I want them to smoke it.  Now I have to create Republicans.”

Plum Nuts If You Ask Me

California Prune Producers have the right to change the name of prunes, the Food
and Drug Administration has ruled.  They can now call prunes, “dried plums” in order to reach a much younger segment of the American Market.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the government at the same time, is paying prune-pickers some $17 million to take trees out of production, because of a 60,000 pound surplus.  Now that makes sense, what does that work out to?  $283 a ton … Now if that doesn’t make you – - – - nothing will.  (Blanks are optional Y’all, put in whatever works for you.)

I can hear mothers everywhere, “Johnny!  Eat your what-you-call-its?  They cost almost $8 a pound!”

How Can We Serve You

images3mMan, have you purchased any post-it notes lately?  They are up over $5 for one package, for post it notes, C’mon?  Things are so tight over there at 3-M, I understand they have officially changed their corporate logo to reflect it.  The new business mantra, “less for more.”

Flying High

I understand that the National Institute of Drug Abuse has made a grant of $480,000 to a University of Kentucky professor to investigate the effects of cocaine on the behavior of quails.  This is a four year funded study.  The findings are that “the birds find the drug stimulating and pleasing, much in the same way it affects humans.”  In other words, “drugs are for bird-brains.”

We will be with you shortly … Maybe.

Bank of America has announced that they are laying off some 35,000 people beginning in the new year.  That now means, “there will only be three tellers standing around talking to each other, while you wait at the window with one teller doing business.”



We Will Take Care Of You …  Trust Us.

The other day I got this credit card notice in the mail, free checks, free money!  Yeah sure.  And I was reminded of that old Agriculture term called “service.”  If you have a heifer (cow) and you want to breed her out for a new calf, you take her to the vet. or to another farmer and have her serviced.

You mate the cow with the bull and hopefully in the spring, a fresh new calf.  This is again, called “service.”

Now I look at the Credit Card come-on letter with the fresh new checks and at the bottom there it is is …  “It has been a pleasure serving you.”  And for once, I know exactly what it is that they mean.

Sure been a great week for government and an even better week for the credit card folks.  The government took the banks and the credit card people to task on the raping of the American Consumer on these credit cards.  Rolled up their sleeves and got down to the nitty gritty on all of this, and now some brand new legislated relief, all you have to do is find a way to survive a year and one-half (18 months) before it takes effect.

They also voted themselves a nice little $4700 raise, I almost forgot that.  Must be nice, an extra $375+ a month coming in to buy groceries …. Now tell me again ….

Why is it we have government?
