Run For Your Life!


It happened right on my street, on New Year's Eve... my neighbors started to light up the fireworks about half an hour before the midnight, and everything was just fine til one of those multi-popping thing went in a wrong direction, actually spreading all over on that area, including one that popped right on a wall of his house. As you can see, I witnessed the event!

Today's joke:

An old Italian Mafia Don is dying and he calls for his grandson to approach the bed, "Lissin a me. I wanna for you to taka my chrome-plated .38-caliber revolver so you will always remember me."
The grandson smiles weakly and replies, "But Grandpa, I really doana lika guns. Howzabout you leava me you ROLEX watch instead?"
Gasping for air, the old man answers with a snarl in his voice, "Shuddup an lissin. Somma day you gonna runna da business. You gonna have a beautifula wife, lotsa money, a biga home, and maybe a couple of bambinos."
After a slight pause to catch his breath he continues, "Somma day you gonna comma home and maybe finda you wife inna bed with another man. Whadda you gonna do then...pointa to your watch and say 'Time's up?'"

  29. every year I have fear of people shooting fireworks and guns will come by the way of my house.I have found spent casings from fireworks around my house several times.this past new year some idiot fired a high caliber gun several times.there has been incidents many times of people dying or being hurt from bullets penetrating the roofs or windows.
    never the less an outstanding shot and if it had damaged his house, good riddance but it is usually some one else's home
