Sunset in Arizona

I've been kinda busy lately, that's why I wasn't around here too much... even now, when I post this one, I am in Arizona, enjoying the a/c from the hotel room and not the hot and shiny sun from outside! And of course, being here in Arizona, what else could I post but a local image... and a local joke, based on the new AZ law regarding illegal immigrants:

Drinking with an Arizona Girl!

A Mexican, an Arab, and an Arizona girl are in the same bar.
When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says,'In Mexico, our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink with the same one twice.'
The Arab, obviously impressed by this, drinks non-alcohol beer, throws it into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In the Arab World, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink with the same one twice either.'
The Arizona girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws the glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Arab.
Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and calling for a refill, she says,
'In Arizona, we have so many illegal aliens that we don't have to drink
with the same ones twice.'

Today's joke:

A guy goes to the Government to interview for a job. The interviewer asks him:
"Are you a veteran?"
The guy says:
"Why yes, in fact, I served two tours inVietnam."
"Good", says the interviewer, "That counts in your favor. Do you have any service-related disabilities?"
The guy says:
"In fact I am 100% disabled. During a battle, an explosion removed my private parts so they declared me disabled, it doesn't affect my ability to work, though."
"Sorry to hear about the damage, but I have some good news for you, I can hire you right now! Our working hours are 8 to 4. Come on in about 10, and we'll get you started."
The guy says:
"If working hours are from 8 to 4, why do you want me to come at 10?"
"Well, here at the government, we don't do anything but sit around and scratch our balls for the first two hours. No point of your coming in for that"

Driving on the Red Planet

Maybe the picture doesn't reflect the real reddish color that I've encountered. Well, it's not for the first time, but this strange effect I've seen only in Texas, and of course it comes from the reddish sunset, but the main condition to get such an effect is that there must be clouds above you, so the red reflection will give ya the feeling that you're on a sci-fi scene, somewhere on another planet... I must notice that the picture is untouched (no manipulations).
Thanks for stopping by!

Today's joke:

At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"
"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of bandages."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.
"What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a patient?"
"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, and about once a year they send us a complete d*ck."

Full Moon

This shot was taken few days ago, here in Houston. Of course, the moon wasn't that big, so there comes the manipulation!


And here comes the joke of the day!

A man was taking his wife, who was pregnant with twins, to the hospital when his car went out of control and crashed.
Regaining consciousness, he saw his brother, a relentless practical joker, sitting at his bed side.
He asked his brother how his wife was doing and his brother said:
- Don't worry, everybody is fine and you have a son and a daughter. But the hospital was in a real hurry to get the birth certificates filed and since both you and your wife were unconscious, I named them for you!
The husband was thinking to himself: "Oh no, what has he done now?" and asked with some trepidation:
- Well, bro, what did you name them?
Whereupon, his brother replied:
- I named the little girl Denise!
The husband, relieved, said:
- That's a lovely name! And what did you come up with for my son?
The brother winked and replied:
- Denephew!

Follow the Sun

OK, what do we got here... two walkers from Paris (their original shadow was left oriented, so I had to create a fake one), a sunset from Indiana, a dark sky from Illinois, the rest of it was created in my PI!P10...
