Foggy Morning...

...in Virginia

Today's joke:

A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind the bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
"Oh, I really liked it," she said, "especially the really tight pants and all of the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked:
"What on earth do you mean?"
"Well, I saw them flip a coin and one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: "Get the quarter back! Get the quarter back!"

Virginia Sunset

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"

Field Thistle

While I was pumping gas to my car, I saw these beautiful field thistles and I'm sure you realize what was the next move... that's another shot from Virginia.

Today's joke is from a french friend:

L'institutrice fait l'appel:
- Ben Larbi ?
- Présent !
- Ben Youssef ?
- Présent !
- Ben Ali ?
- Présent !
- Ben Kahoul ?
- Présent !
- Ben Mahmound ?
- Présent !
- Ben Oît ?
Pas de réponse.
- Ben Oît ?
Alors un petit garçon blond dit timidement :
- Je m'appelle Benoît, madame...

And translated:

The teacher checks the students presence:
- Ben Larbi?
- Present!
- Ben Youssef?
- Present!
- Ben Ali?
- Present!
- Ben Kahoul?
- Present!
- Ben Mahmound?
- Present!
- Ben Oit?
No response.
- Ben Oit?
Then a little blond boy said shyly
- My name is Benoit, Madame ...

James River

I took this shot while crossing the bridge over James River. Unfortunately, the memory card didn't play fair, and I lost many pictures during this trip to Virginia (over 60 pics). What's worse, I lost all the pictures with my grandsons... :((

Today's joke:

Noddy is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his retirement 35 years ago. One day he arrives home looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I can't see where it went."
His wife sympathises and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down she says, "Why don't you take you old mate Milton, and give it one more try."
"That's no good" sighs Noddy, "Milton's a hundred and three. He can't help."
"He may be a hundred and three", says Noddy's wife, "but his eyesight is perfect."
So the next day Noddy heads off to the golf course with Milton. He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway.
He turns to Milton and says, "Did you see the ball?"
"Of course I did!" replied Milton. "I have perfect eyesight".
"Where did it go?" says Noddy.
"I don't remember."

G'morning, Tennessee!

A shot from Tennessee... I was traveling on US-23 and here I stopped in a rest area, not to rest but to take some shots! I don't remember exactly where about on 23, but it was close to VA state line...


Here comes the joke!

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards...
The man, who was a priest, said:
- I am a Father!
The little boy replied:
- My Dad doesn't wear his collar like that!
The priest looked up from his book and answered:
- I am the Father of many!
The boy said:
- My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that
way...
The priest, getting impatient, said:
- I am the Father of hundreds! and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said:
- Maybe you should use a condom and wear your pants backwards instead of your collar!

Your Last Curve!

I took this shot in the summer of '07 while visiting my son in Lynchburg, VA. Well, this isn't in town, but somewhere close to the town...
There was another traffic sign with a sticker from a local radio station on it... and I just made it "officially"! But don't try to take that curve with the "recommended" speed... it will be your last curve!

I got a short joke for today:

A boy asks his granny:
- Have you seen my pills, they were labeled LSD?
Granny replies:
- Forget the pills, have you seen those purple dragons in the kitchen?!?
