William, where are you? When I get mail addressed to William Cook I throw it away, if you want your mail you will have to provide me with your address. Respectfully, Billy B Cook. SAAIn Iceland, an unmarried person who sits at the corner of a table won't marry for seven years. A pregnant
woman who drinks from a cracked cup risks having a baby with a hare-lip.
In Japan, picking up a comb with its teeth facing your body brings bad luck.
In Malta, churches with two towers are fitted with a clock face in each but the two clocks always tell different times to confuse the Devil about the time of the service.
In Nigeria, a man hit with a broom becomes impotent unless he retaliates seven times with the same broom. Sweeping a house at night brings misfortune to the occupants.
In Poland, bringing lilac into the house is a sure sign of impending death.
In Scotland, red and green should never be worn together. It is unlucky to throw vegetables on to the fire and to carry a spade through the house. This means that a grave will soon be dug. And three swans flying together means a national disaster is imminent.
In Holland, people with red hair bring bad luck.
In China, sweeping out a house removes all the good luck, especially on Chinese New Year.
Rolls eyes, the monkeys sure have some strange beliefs.
With the Supreme Court trying to determine whether the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution really says that we can keep and bear arms, the following is quite interesting...
A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.
C) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
D) The number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500.
Calculation) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
.0000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
E) So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Two 90 year olds had been dating for some time, when the man told the woman, I think it's time we had sex, don't you? She agreed, and they had sex.
Afterward, as they were laying in bed, the old man thinks to himself, "My God, if I had known that she was a virgin, I would have been more gentle with her!"
Meanwhile, the old woman was thinking to herself, "My God, if I had known that the old geezer could really get it up I would have taken off my pantyhose!"
A lady was looking for a TV on Yahoo Freecycle so I gave her my 25 inch one, it had been in storage for about three years anyway. I bought a new 19 inch one about a year ago with AVI jacks on the front of it so I could hook my karaoke machine up to it.
Took a look at the new books at the library while I was out being as she lives near it and I delivered the TV to her because she hasn’t got a reliable car. Interesting title, “Try Dying”. Hell, try not dying, it’s a given that you will, the only thing that counts is what you do between being born and dying.
And there was “Life After Death” by Deepak Chopra, I don’t need a book by that babbling over paid idiot to tell me about life after death, I know all about it, I’ve blogged about it plenty.
Re-examine all that you have been told - dismiss that which insults your soul, if you are in contact with your soul that is.
The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth.
A female Mountie pulled over a drunk Saskatchewan farmer driving down the back roads. She said to him, "You're under arrest, anything you say, can and will be held against you." "OK," replied the farmer. "Tits!"
Hey, have a great day, simply and peacefully, hugs…. BBC

Good morning, Jimmy. We got a bit of snow yesterday, it didn't stick though, thankfully. If it ever stops getting down to freezing at night I will plant the vines.
Hi Bill - A lot of snow here at the weekend but although it continues to lie on the ground due to the freezing temperatures I reckon it'll be all gone by the weekend and back to rain, rain and oh, more rain!
Good luck with the vines planting
Wishing a good day over there. Time for the BeerChurch at anytime later?
I dropped into Beer Church yesterday on the way back from business in town, just had one beer.
I usually just drop in for one or two beers when going by. On Saturday's I may go there and have 3 or 4 while I visit with Rod and Char and others.
Mostly I'm more of a home body anymore. I haven't even been out to sing karaoke for a few years.
It's a relief that the non-accidental gun deaths are not dangerous.
Guns, wedding gowns, and cold beer. This is America.
my mother told me not to put my shoes on the table cos i wouldn't ever get married,so i bloody well put my shoes there all the time and i've been married 3 times (twice to the same man) i know i know, i'm an idiot!
i'm one part sweetie pie, one part bitch and seventeen parts 'sucker' (not the kind you're thinking of lol)- the kind that melts into a mans arms, marries him and soon realises what the hell i've done!!!)
thank fuck i've reached the age of reason and sanity and wisdom and basically have the ability to say NO!
(twice to the same man)
No big deal, I was married to the kids mother two times, all we can do is try and hope for the best, if it doesn't work we can at least say we meant well and tried.
Actually, we bought 3 marriage licenses, boy, was she pissed when I called one wedding off on the day of the wedding. What was with that? LOL
You tell some of the best jokes.
I"ve figured out what I enjoy the most about reading your blog its your comments back to folks....love your ability to laugh at yourself
I have an urge to go to Poland and throw lilac into the open windows.
I see Vincent's back to make more ill informed and poorly judged comments.
Fact is, Vinnie, the comparison is made between accidental gun deaths and accidents involving Physicians, the parallel being drawn assuming that all accidents by Physicians are just that - accidents. If you like we could add in all gun deaths, but then surely we would have to add in deliberate murders using all kinds of weapons, thereby drawing a comparative of how dangerous a physician is relative to, for example a kitchen knife,a baseball bat, a frying pan or any and all of the infinite variety of items people use to inflict violence on each other. Billy's comparison makes perfect sense, if you'd take the time to actually think before knee-jerk posting to anything you see as pro-gun when you're so obviously biased against it....
If he doesn't like guns and doesn't want to own one I have no problem with that, he can protect his property with a baseball bat for all I care, or call his mommy.
But I'm keeping my guns. Like it or not, it's not a peaceful planet and crime everywhere seems to be picking up, even around here.
I don't own a gun. I don't intend to own a gun but I certainly want the right to have one if I need one.
"I bought a new 19 inch one about a year ago"
Don't forget to change over from analog to digital before 2/17/2009. :o)
Hi, Karen, I'm not worried about that, my TV is fine for what I use it for, watching rented movies and hooking the karaoke machine to.
ya but guns can't sign off sick leave for work or prescribe happy pills and pain killers.
Guns don't have to do everything. And long time readers know that I'm no gun lover, only that I have two for personal protection, and that I'm a damn good shot.
An absense of vodka in this home brings depression.
Two guns? Can I borrow one? It's this arsehole neighbour you see...
Billy makes a very good point. Ban guns, we have to ban doctors. Then where would we go to fake illness and get narcotics?
I have four, Dinners. You can have one of mine.
I have the right to protect myself, my property, and those I love. And anyone that doesn't agree with that is a fucking idiot.
It hasn't got anything to do with the monkeys laws, the universe gives me that right, just as a buck has antlers.
This fucked up government that wants to keep religions out of government yet keeps voting in christians with their bombs, warships and warplanes and such can just go fuck themselves.
Jesus followers my ass, they are fucking insane. I might give up my guns when they give up their weapons.
Um, like hell I will, I'll shoot every fucking monkey that comes after me, I don't fucking care what fucking religion he is. The fucking idiot monkeys.
I'll stay on my side of the fence and they had damn well better stay on their side. Hey, don't mess with spirit, I'll blow your fucking monkey brain out.
The tit joke was just wrong, dude. Hahaaaaa..... It put images in my head. oh well.
Husseys?! I've been there. It's an marvelous wonderland.
By the way I can't help but mention that your blog and comments annoy the shit out of me, but from the sound of it, that's your intention.
Good job.
"Tits" - ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! There are so many blogs written by people who think they are the only ones who have jokes...well I think I've just discovered the best one!!
You posted a pithy comment on someone's blog that I just happened to be reading, and I thought "Hmm! This dude sounds interesting." You are. I'll be back!
