Forever Yours

And now a joke about the same subject...

A couple had been married for 50 years.
They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the wife says:
- Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together!
- I know, the old man said, we were probably sitting here naked as a jaybird fifty years ago...
- Well, Granny snickered, let's relive some old times!
Where upon, the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.
- You know honey, the little old lady breathlessly replied, my nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago!
- I wouldn't be surprised, replied her husband, one's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal!

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"

Nickajack Lake

It was really early in the morning when I stopped here to take several shots... Nickajack Lake is located in Tennessee, off I-24, about 20 miles west of Chattanooga, TN.

Today's joke:

A very old man lay dying in his bed. In death's doorway, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookie wafting up the stairs.
He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.
With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven.
There, spread out on newspapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table. The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when he was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife.
"Stay out of those," she said. "They're for the funeral.

Lake St. Clair

I had to remove from the image an old lady and her beach towel who was sitting right in the middle of the image, then I added the painting effect to the picture.

Today's joke:

Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything...tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math. Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.. To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on For some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books.. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said:
- Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?
Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.
- Well, then, she replied, was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?
Little Zachary looked at her and said:
- Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around!

Get Outta My Way!

I took this shot few years ago by the Lake St Clair, with my old Minolta 35mm camera, using a 200mm lens.


The joke is here!

An Italian walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to Italy on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Italian hands over the keys to a new Ferrari.
The car is parked on the street in front of the bank. The Italian produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Italian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Italian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says:
- Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this Transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?
The Italian replies:
- Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?
