New Government Symbol

The new  government symbol is  announced                                      The government announced that it is changing its symbol for Congress to a Condom, because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance.  A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!!   Damn!! It just doesn't get any more accurate than that!!!

A Great Way to Celebrate Getting Old!!

My wonderful friend, Suranga, in India sent this to me and I had to share it with you! Get ready to laugh!!

To commemorate her 79th birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:

(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd
that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please
share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who
would appreciate it.)

By mid-April last year things were really beginning to bloom and colorful plants, trees and flowers were everywhere including the terrace here at the complex where I've lived for the past several years -- I will miss this and the roof when I move back to Portland!!! Ah, the good and the bad of moves!!!

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

An Observation on an Age Old Question

 
  *What  deep thinkers men are...*

  I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

 The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.
 

Finally I thought about an age old question:

 Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

 Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.

 Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.

  Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion.

 A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would  like another kick in the nuts."

 I rest my case. Time for another beer.



And a word from Maxine!!

 One of the things I have truly enjoyed about where I've lived the past two years is the roof, where one can have a garden, have terrific views for photography, or just to enjoy the beauty! I've done a little of all of them!!

April has put a spirit of youth in everything!
