It's Halloween. Careful what you wish for there ole boy!

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.''Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.' She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!''OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?''Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.'The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

This is fabulous and a "must watch" video.

Senator Boxer, kill that bug up your butt...and call me Doctor.

This is a parody of a recent exchange Senator Boxer had with someone in the military.
It could have gone like this.....

John Cochrane meet Tim Geithner

This really happened.

Some Syrian dinks that wanted to hold an anti-American rally hired an ex-Army Sergeant to translate their protest slogans, you know, like "Death to America" and such. This is what they got instead.

You really need to read this. Thanks James Hamilton and Dr. Rothman.

Maxine. The one on the left, not right.

1 day of employment


So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter,
a good find for many retirees,
I lasted less than a day......
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud,
unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids,
Yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.
Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say,
'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7.
Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

So I replied,
'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am,
I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice.
Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'
My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.

It's Saturday with a home football game. Where do you think I am?
