State of the union…
“During the State of the Union address, whoa what a rowdy crowd. Crazy crowd. At one point, Cheney had to fire a couple of shots in the air.”
“It was such a riveting speech, the State of the Union speech, Senator Larry Craig only took two bathroom breaks.”
“The experts are saying the State of the Union address was very ambitious. President Bush said he plans to introduce dozens of bold, new mispronunciations.”
Touring France…
A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
‘You have been to France before, monsieur?’ the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
‘Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.’
The American said, ‘The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.’
‘Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!’
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. ‘Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in ’44 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to.’
Thanks Paul
Website update
Well, things seem to be slowly getting back to normal here. I’m toying with the idea of a different template. I don’t know that I need 3 columns. I like to post larger pictures… some here are being cut off depending on what size monitor and/or window you’re using. I’m assuming most peole have a 17 inch or large monitor. I’m using two 19 inch monitors here, but I have a sidebar (that displays my bookmarks) open almost all the time, so that cuts down on page size.
So, just to warn you, things might be changing a little down the road. I’m also trying to get my Adsense ads working here. Gotta keep those funds coming in. Someone also suggested I put up a PayPal donation button, so I might try that too.
Thanks for hanging in there with me through the ordeal with the old site. And thanks to those who have helped spread the word about the move to the new URL. Folks like Kev at Nothing to Do With Abroath and the ever charming Miss Cellania just to name a couple that I know of.
As always… stay tuned.
Why it’s important to understand English…
I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank. There was a short line. Just one lady in front of me . . an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a little irritated . . .
She asked the teller, “Why it change?? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty?? Why it change?”
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, “Fluctuations” .
The Asian lady says, “Fluc you white people, too”.
Thanks Gene
