A Little Humor

Medical Breakthrough

A French doctor says "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says "That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

The Russian doctor says "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

An American doctor, not to be outdone, says "You guys are way behind. We recently took a man with no brains out of Illinois, put him in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work."

Shameless Hussy

I absolutely detest this woman. I would like to raise my right hand and give this left coast traitor a spinning back fist. I have never hit a woman...but there is a first time for everything.

Spring

The first day of Spring, or Autumn...depending on which hemisphere you live in. I live in the top one, so I'm about ready to plant my garden. Tilled this yesterday. Probably do another one about the same size. I'm going to grow a bunch of vegetables this year. Actually, one the size of the tilled patch will produce all I can eat, put up and give away. I think I'm gonna do an extra "put up" one about the same size. Just because I can.

A couple of years ago before I enlarged it a tad.

Comedy News Network...

...or the Communist News Network or the Clinton News Network or the Censorship News Netwrok...whatever. I understand that CNN's ratings are way down. It doesn't surprise me at all. Maybe people realize the Obama Love Network is as biased as bias is. Maybe the American public can see through Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley, Jack Cafferty,,,etc. They don't report facts...they spin everything. They are about as anti-American as can be. They do not report on the news, but invent liberal talking points in place of reality. Take Christiane Amanpour for example...she blames all the worlds problems on the United States. 9-11, Israel, starvation, you name it, it is the fault of the United States. Ted Turner and Jane Fonda should have never split up...they came out of the same hole...traitors, both of 'em.

I could go on and on and on, but I won't, because I find it painful.

One thing is for certain...many donkey ass people watch CNN and believe if CNN says the elephant is pink...it is pink.

I report...you decide.

Democrats today say the donkey is smart and brave, while Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified. Who you gonna call?

Spin This

This clearly shows that Bush warned Congress starting in 2001, that this economic crisis was coming, if something was not done. But Congress refused to listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank.

My Doggie...

...the smallest of hounds is relentless. Just ask that huge ass chocolate Lab that lives behind us. I swear to the Maker, Stretch is fearless. He is also known on a first ,and second, name basis (middle name is Cornbread) at the gas station, the post office, the liquor store, the fresh market, and many other establishments around town, and throughout the neighborhood. He be the Catdaddy, and he knows it.

When I see people...they don't ask me how I'm doing, or how my woman is doing...they ask about Stretch.

As a friend of mine would say...Just Damn!

Saint Patrick's Day

I've been to many Saint Patrick's Day parades. One memorable one was in Boston

"

on my way to Iceland

This is a "color" photograph.

My woman got a green star that day...too much Guinness, if you know what I mean. That can happen when you hang with an Irish rugby team. They don't stop until it's all gone.

Savannah, Georgia in 1991 was the Catdaddy. I entered a "longest piss" contest...and won. Boys will be boys.

This is my buddy Joe at about sunset. No stamina whatsoever. Took him several days to get over that one.

Spring is just around the corner and I've got some alien stuff growing in my backyard. These weren't here last year. I think they're a sign.

The Real Deal Computer Speakers

The Brier Patch highly recommends these.

The Control Pod is the catdaddy.

You've got to hear it to believe it. I'm driving a tricked out iMac "24" with all the bells...these would be the whistles.

Makes Me Sick

Linda Panetta is the daughter of proud father Leon Panetta, who was recently named by Bobobama to be the new CIA director. Linda is a supporter of all the anti-American regimes in this Hemisphere. Here she is schmoozing with Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) and Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua), two sworn enemies of the United States.

Like father like daughter?

Now You Know

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed? I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me. No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

Now You Know.

Too Much Fish

Back in the day, I was living with three of my buddies in a nice beachfront crib on Vilano Beach, FL. We called it the "Circle Y", and we even had a flag flying from the top deck. Upside down peace sign with part of the vertical bar removed. Do you know why we named it that?

It was a Saturday morning, and a bunch of unknowns showed up on our beachfront with small row boats, heavy duty fishing tackle, and a gallons and gallons of chum. Shark fishing from the beach.

This is how they did it: One of 'em would strap on a shoulder harness to hold the pole. Another one of 'em would take the line with the bait attached and a couple of buckets of chum, and row it out a pretty good way...chum it up and drop the line...ride the swells and waves back to shore....and wait. I can tell you one thing for certain...you do not want to be in the water when someone is dumping blood and fish guts close by.

About 10 am. they had something on. About 4 pm. they had it in close enough to see what it was.

In the meantime, this fish was dragging them all over the beach. Unbelievable. There were five of 'em and they had another impromptu rig that they attached to the back of the harness so they could help the "holder of the rod" hang on. They all alternated positions...holding the rod, and holding the rod holder. About six hours later, they were worn out...we were worn out. While they had it on, my buddies and I had called everyone we knew and had a small crowd standing by to help...and we did. I never got the pole, but I did get my ass dragged around holding on to the rod holder.

Everyone wanted to see it.

After about six hours, they had it in knee deep water, and one of 'em waded out with a 12 gauge shotgun and blasted it in the head. He obviously missed the brain, and I'm telling you, that shark went ballistic...damn near got the shooter...it wasn't as tired as we thought. In the end, the shotgun won, but it was too large to drag out of the surf. Enter the jeep. After they killed it, they gaffed it, attached it to chains, and dragged it onto the beach.

It was a 14 ft. Hammerhead. Biggest fish I'd ever seen. There was some talk of a world record, but these guys didn't care...all they wanted was the head, which, after photos were taken, they removed with a chainsaw.

It is said that the hide of a shark is nothing more than miniature teeth. I don't know about that, but I do know if you run your fingertips against the grain, you will draw blood.

I have a photo somewhere, but I can't find it...but I will sooner or later.

It was an interesting day.

Next Year

Here's a little doom and gloom for you.

I'm not the doom and gloom type...not my nature, but, to be fair, I do read all sides of everything.

Peace!

My Dog Stretch

We got a little snow...about 6-8 inches...Stretch says fuck.....this.....how do you expect me to do my business in this stuff...I'm in deep.

He does have a point, so I had to clear some space. His belly keeps him from sinking all the way, so he looks like a car on jacks when he spins his legs.

I guess you had to be there.
