DIALOGUE BETWEEN A LADY INTERVIEWER WITH A MALE BEER DRINKER







 LOGIC OF A BEER DRINKER
h/t BH
 
 
DIALOGUE BETWEEN A LADY INTERVIEWER WITH A MALE BEER DRINKER:
 
Lady Interviewer:   Do you drink every day?
 
Man:   Yes.
 
Lady Interviewer:   How much a day?
 
Man:   Around 3 six-packs starting at noon.
 
Lady Interviewer:   How much does a 6-pack cost?
 
Man:   Roughly $10.00 at a deli.
 
Lady Interviewer:   And how long have you been drinking like that?
 
Man:   15 years.
 
Lady Interviewer:   So with a six-pack costing $10.00, and you consuming 3 six-packs a day, you are spending roughly $900 each month.  In one year, you would then be spending $10,800, correct?
 
Man:   Correct.
 
Lady Interviewer:   If in 1 year you spend $10,800 on beer, not accounting for inflation, 15 years puts your spending roughly $162,000; correct?
 
Man:   Correct.
 
Lady Interviewer:   Did it ever occur to you that if you did not drink for the last 15 years, you could have bought a Ferrari?
 
Man:   Do you drink?
 
Lady Interviewer:   No.
 
Man:   So where's your frigin' Ferrari?

The Eagle Is Gone!

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol of the American Presidency.
It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.

Classified Ad Wife Swap



http://www.bigfun.be/Jokes/Classified+Ad.htm




Sarah was reading a newspaper, while her husband was engrossed in a magazine.

Suddenly, she burst out laughing.

"Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket to the stadium."

"Hmmm," her husband said, not looking up from his magazine.

Teasing him, Sarah said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?"

"Absolutely not," he said.

"How sweet," Sarah said, "Tell me why not."

"Season's more than half over," he said.

Norman Perceval Rockwell

h/t RM

Ed Note:  I've always loved Rockwell.

Whenever I see his crowd scenes, I look for duplicate people in them.  He used friends and neighbors as models and would often use the same person several times in a scene.

Oh, and did you note on the Thanksgiving Bird, what a small breast it had then?

How times have changed.

And one other thing, I didn't note any nudity.  Then again, he was not as progressive as the rest of us.

RIP Norman, RIP.
