LOCAL GAS PRICES; $2.76 INDEPENDENT $2.99 EXXON AND OTHER MAJORS! THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS $3.50 AND OIL WAS BELOW $90.00 A BARRELL IF I HEARD RIGHT!

 

GOT UP THIS MORNING AND FOUND ANOTHER .508 POINTS GONE OFF THE DOW! THAT BRINGS IT DOWN TO 9447 THE LOWEST IN THE PAST 5 YEARS, WHERE IS IT GOING TO STOP?

 

WE WATCHED THE PRESIDENTAL DEBATE AND IT LOOKS LIKE JOHN MCCAIN IS STILL PLAYING “SANDLOT” BASEBALL AND OBAMA HAS MOVED ON TO THE MAJORS! IF YOU WATCHED NOT ONE TIME WAS PALIN NOR BIDEN’S NAME MENTIONED! ACCORDING TO ALL THE POLES OBAMA WAS THE CLEAR WINNER AND LIKE JOHN KING SAID, “IF THESE NUMBERS HOLD UP TILL THE 20^TH THE GAMES OVER!

THE ONLY THING THAT COULD MAKE A CHANGE IN THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION IS THE “RACE CARD!” IF THAT CHANGES THE OUTCOME OF THIS RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE THEN THERE WILL BE UNREST LIKE THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER SEEN IN ITS 232 YEAR HISTORY AND IT WON’T BE BLOODLESS!

 

JOKE

 

THE CHEERLEADERS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN ALL OF THEM BORN AND BREAD IN THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS GOT ON A 737 JETLINER AND HEADED FOR THE BIG GAME IN OHIO BETWEEN U.T. AND THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO! OVER KANSAS THEY INCOUNTERED A BAD THUNDER STORM AND WHEN THEY LANDED THE DOOR OPENED AND TWENTY SIX 2’ MIDGETS CAME DOWN THE RAMP! “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?” ASKED THE HEAD CHEERLEADER WHO HAD COME BY CAR TWO DAYS EARLIER!

 

THE PILOT AND THE HEAD FLIGHT ATTENDENT COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT HPPENED EITHER! THEN A MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO’S WELCOMING COMMITTEE SAID HE’S HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ONCE BEFORE AND ASKED THE PILOT IF THEY HIT ANY BAD WEATHER AND THE PILOT TOLD HIM THEY HIT A BAD THUNDER STORM OVER KANSAS AND THE COMMITTEE MEMBER SAID WHEN THEY HIT THAT STORM THIS IS ALL THAT WAS LEFT AFTER IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM!

 

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.

WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 68/86 DEGREES

 

EVERYTHING WAS GETTING BACK TO NORMAL THEN I GOT UP AND THE BOTTOM FELL OUT OF THE STOCK MARKET! AS I WATCHED IT FELL .800 POINTS THEN STARTED BACK UP AND LEVELED OFF AT .370! IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS! PRESIDENT BUSH GOT ON TV AND HAD THE GUTS TO SAY; “THE RECOVERY PROCESS IS GOING TO TAKE TIME!” HELL; GEORGIE WE DIDN’T EXPECT IT TO TAKE PLACE OVERNIGHT BUT, MAYBE YOU DID, HUH?

 

WE LISTENED TO ALL THE B.S. BY THE ANALYSIST AND TO PALIN MIS-QUOTE HERSELF WHILE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING STARTED BEFORE THE DEBATE TUESDAY NIGHT! SHE’S A REAL RABBLE ROUSIER! OF COURSE SHE’S ONLY BEEN PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS FOR 5 WEEKS NOW SO WE CAN’T EXPECT HER TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIE AND A SO CALLED FACT! SO FAR ALL SHE’S DOING IS SPREADING WHAT SHE THINKS ARE SO CALLED FACTS BUT ARE ACTUALLY LIES! MAYBE IN ALASKA THEY WOULD BE CALLED FACTS BUT DOWN HERE IN THE BIG LEAGUES THEY’RE PLAIN OLD LIES!

 

MOM HAD TO GO IN AND TAKE CARE OF SHANNON’S LEG THIS MORNING, SHE SAID IT’S STILL HURTING AND I THINK SHANNON HAS TO GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR WEDNESDAY! KYLIE WAS THERE AND I GUESS SHE TOOK CARE OF KONNER SINCE MOM BROUGHT HIM HOME MONDAY MORNING!

 

COLLEEN CALLED AND LET US KNOW THEY GOT TO VEGAS SUNDAY AND WERE GOING TO BE LOOKING AROUND FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SO THEY CAN GO TO MASS!

 

TIM CALLED AND SAID HE WAS PUTTING TOGETHER A SPREAD SHEET OF SORTS FOR EVERYONE TO BE ON FOR THE CHRISTMAS DRAWINGS! HE’LL BE CONTACTING EVERYONE I’M SURE!

 

MY TAIL BONE IS DOING BETTER, I CAN MOVE PRETTY GOOD NOW, NOT TOO MUCH PAIN!

 

ON THE WAY TO TIMS FRIDAY WE WENT TO THE DALLAS VA AND GOT FITTED FOR THE SPECIAL DIABETIC SHOES! IT’LL BE 3-4 WEEKS BEFORE I GET THEM AND THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO COME WITH THE SPECIAL INNERSOLES FOR MY HIGH ARCHES!

 

I WAS WATCHING OUR CHANNEL 11 NEWS TONIGHT AND THEY HAD A LADY ON THERE WHO HAD CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND HAS A PACEMAKER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY LEGS GIVING OUT AND THE SPASMS WITH MY LEFT LEG AND ARM! IT’S SOME KIND OF WRAP THEY PUT AROUND THE WHOLE LEG AND PLUG IT UP TO A DEVICE THAT MAKES THE LEG PUMP AT THE SAME RATE THE HEART DOES! IT PUMPS THE BLOOD BACK INTO THE HEART FROM THE LEGS! SHE SAID SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANYMORE LEG PROBLEMS LIKE THEM GIVING OUT AND HURTING! MOM IS GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND I’LL GET IN TOUCH WITH THE VA AND SEE IF THEY HAVE IT YET AND IF THEY DON’T I’LL ASK THEM WHY THEY DON’T! IF I CAN GET THE USE OF MY LEGS BACK I’LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ANOTHER 20 YEARS AND I’LL LET THEM KNOW THAT! I’M GOING TO LET MY BROTHER JERRY KNOW ABOUT THIS ALSO SINCE HE’S HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIS LEGS!

 

THAT’S “30”FOR THIS ISSUE.

WENT TO TIMS FRIDAY AND CAME HOME SATURDAY NIGHT! TIM AND MOM WENT TO THE “FLYLADIES FLY FEST!” AND SAID THEY REALLY HAD A GOOD TIME PICKING UP ALL KINDS OF POINTERS ON TAKING CARE OF THE HOUSE AND PROPERTY! I STAYED AT TIMS WITH ELYSE AND THE KIDS!

 

MOM AND TIM GOT TO TIMS ABOUT 6PM AND WE GOT READY TO HEAD FOR HOME IN OKLAHOMA! WE GOT HERE ABOUT 7:30! I SURE DO LIKE GETTING HOME AND IN FAMILURE SURROUNDINGS!

 

I PICKED UP A FEELING OF SOMETHING LOSE IN THE FRONT END OF THE ACCLAIM AND HAD KELLY CHECK IT OUT BUT HE COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING SO! I DON’T KNOW IF HE CHECKED FOR A SLIPPED BELT IN A FRONT TIRE OR NOT SO I’LL ASK HIM WHEN I SEE HIM BUT, EVIDENTLY IT’S NOT ANYTHING OBVIOUS LIKE A LOSE STRUT OR TIE ROD!

 

UNTIL KERRY CAN GET UP HERE AND HELP ME WITH THE INTREPID WE’LL HAVE TO KEEP THE ACCLAIM RUNNING! I HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE’S OVER 300,000 MILES ON THE BASIC RUNNING GEAR, AND BODY PARTS I.E. FRONT AND REAR BODY MOUNTS AND SUSPENSION PARTS!

 

WELL THAT’S ABOUT ALL THAT HAPPENED OVER THE LONG WEEKEND! IF I REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE I’LL BE SURE TO ADD IT TO MONDAYS CHRONICLE!

WENT TO BONHAM VA THIS MORNING AND HAD MY 6 MONTH CHECK UP! BLOOD SUGAR A LITTLE HIGH AND ALSO IS THE WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT! THE DOCTOR SAID IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE FALL AND THE TAIL BONE DAMAGE! HE GAVE ME SOME PAIN PILLS AND I’VE TAKEN 2 ALREADY AND THE PAIN IS ALMOST GONE!

TOMORROW WE’RE GOING TO TIMS AND ON THE WAY WE HAVE TO STOP AT THE DALLAS VA AND GET MEASURED FOR SPECIAL DIABETIC SHOES! I HAVE A PAIR THEY GAVE ME ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO THAT I STOPPED WEARING BECAUSE THEY’RE TO BIG! THEY ARE 16s AND I WEAR A 15X 4E! I KEPT TRIPPING ON EVERY LITTLE THING! I FINALLY CHECKED THE SIZE AND FOUND OUT WHY! THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM BACK AND GOT REFITTED BUT I JUST PUT THEM UP IN THE CLOSET AND FORGOT ABOUT IT! NOW I’LL TAKE THEM BACK AND TURN THEM IN FOR THE NEW ONES!

I CALLED THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE BLOOD SUGAR TESTING MACHINE AND THEY HAD US CHECK IT WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE! IT CHECKED WITHIN THE TOLERANCES BUT THEY SENT ME AN UP DATED NEW ONE! I ASKED OVER AT THE VA WHAT TO DO WITH THE OLD ONE AND THEY SAID TO TURN IT IN BUT THE PLACE WAS WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING SO I’LL TAKE IT NEXT TIME I’M THERE!

 

WE HAD TO STOP AT SHANNONS ON THE WAY TO THE VA SO MOM COULD HELP HER WITH THE ICE AND REBANDAGING HER LEG! I HAVE NO IDEA WHO’S GOING TO DO THIS FOR HER WHILE WE’RE AT TIMS!

 

I GOT THE REPORT FROM PEGGY ON THE NHRA DIVISON FINALS   AT FALLON, NEVADA! RATHER THAN TRY TO PASS THE INFORMATION ON I’M ADDING IT TO THIS CHRONILE:

OK, SO WE SUCK!  PAUL WENT OUT 1ST ROUND IN THE RACE OF CHAMPIONS AND 2ND ROUND IN POINTS ELIMINATIONS AND  I WENT OUT IN THE 1ST ROUND OF MY CLASS.  MY CAR JUST WILL NOT PERFORM.  IT RAN 13.634 AT 9:38 AM AND 13.546 AT 5:00 PM ON SATURDAY. I SAW SOMETHING STRANGE ON THE .63 RUN...MY SHIFT LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE 6000RPM FOR MY 1ST SHIFT AND 7000RPM FOR THE 2ND SHIFT.  I TOLD PAUL, JOHN, BILL, JIM EVERYONE THAT WAS THERE.  BILL HAS AN MSD RPM TESTER SO THEY HOOKED UP EVERYTHING AND TESTED IT.  IT ALL CHECKED OUT GOOD...SHIFT LIGHT COMES ON AT 7000RPM RIGHT WHERE IT'S SET TO COME ON. THEN I RAN THE .54 RUN AND WATCHED MY TACH...IT DID IT AGAIN CAME ON AT 5800RPM & 7000RPM.  I AM NOT CRAZY!  I WATCHED IT.  1ST ROUND WAS BETWEEN 9 & 10AM SUNDAY CHECKED THE DA, TEMP, BP ETC.DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING FOR 1ST ROUND ELIMINATIONS SO I DIALED IN BETWEEN... 13.58.  DO YOU KNOW THAT DARN THING PULLED 7000RPM FOR BOTH SHIFTS AND RAN SLOWER!!!  13.717   GEEEZZZZZZZZ...I'M DONE...THE BIG BLOCK (390) IS GOING IN!

 

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, BERNIE (OLD OWNER OF LACR) IS NOW TRACK MANAGER OF SPEEDWORLD IN PHOENIX.  HE IS REVIVING THE "HANGOVER NATIONALS" AT SPEEDWORLD LIKE HE USED TO HAVE AT LACR.  WE ARE ALSO INCLUDING AN LACR REUNION.  BERNIE SAID THAT SINCE I HAD TOLD EVERYBODY ALREADY THAT HE GUESSED HE HAD BETTER SCHEDULE IT.  (HE HE HE) WHOOOO-HOOO, WE ARE GOING TO PHOENIX FOR NEW YEARS!!

I SENT HER SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS HAPPENING AND HERE IS HER ANSWER TO MY SUGGESTIONS;

 

ACTUALLY THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE THINKING.  THAT IS THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T REPLACED. WHEN WE BUILT THE CAR WE LEFT THE ORIGINAL WIRING IN AND TOOK OUT WHAT WE DIDN'T NEED.  EVERYTHING IS "SIMPLIFIED" TO DISCONNECT EASILY.  PAUL WANTS TO GET A "PAINLESS" WIRING HARNESS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR MY CAR.  WE WILL PROBABLY DO WHAT YOU SAID AND BUILD IT OURSELVES. IF THE 390 GOES IN WE WILL DEFINATELY DO NEW WIRING.  I WOULD HATE TO DO ALL THAT WORK AND HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN.  I WOULD BE IN THE SAME CLASS WITH THE 390.  "PRO" INDEX IS 7.50 TO 13.99 AND I WOULD PROBABLY RUN SOMEWHERE AROUND 11.50'S.  I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO FASTER THAN 11.50 BECAUSE I'D HAVE TO HAVE A FULL CAGE, 5 POINT SAFETY HARNESS AND A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF.  I WANT TO STILL BE "MILD" AND LOW MAINTENANCE. 

 

SO, IT LOOKS LIKE THE OLD MAN STILL KNOWS A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK NO MATTER HOW COMPLICATED THE SITUATION GETS! HA! HA!

JUMP FOR JOY EVERONE, I FINALLY GOT MY AMPLIFIED PHONE FROM THE VA TODAY! TOMORROW I’LL GO TO THE VA IN BONHAM AND HAVE MY 6 MONTH CHECK UP THEN GO TO THE AUDIO CLINIC AND THANK THEM FOR GETTING THE PHONE TO ME EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY TOOK 7 WEEKS!

 

MOM HAD TO GO IN AND HELP SHANNON TODAY! SHE SAID HER LEG WAS BLACK AND BLUE WHERE SHE HIT IT WHEN SHE FELL IN THE TUB! SHE’LL BE MORE CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE I’LL BET!

 

COLLEEN AND MOM WENT TO LUNCH TODAY ON COLLEENS LUNCH BREAK! IT TURNS OUT SHE AND DICK ARE GOING TO VEGAS TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY BUT I’LL BET SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON THAT HE WANTS TO BE A SURPRISE! WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE!

 

WELL, THEY PASSED THAT “BAILOUT” LEGISLATION! NOW WE’LL SEE HOW LONG IT’LL BE BEFORE IT TAKES HOLD AND STARTS TO BRING THE ECONOMY BACK TO ANYWHERE NEAR NORMAL! AND HOW QUICK THEY’LL JUMP IN AND HELP THE HOMEOWNER ABOUT TO LOSE THEIR HOMES? THE OLD WALL STREET GANG IS GONE AND A NEW ONE IS BEING FORMERED! THE DOW MADE A GOOD SHOWING TO DAY AND SHOULD REALLY START CLIMBING OUT OF THE HOLE SOON! I HEARD ON CNN THAT THEY DON’T THINK 1/3^RD OF THE CAR DEALERS WILL BE IN BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE YEAR! I’D BET OVER HALF OF THEM WILL GO OUT UNLESS THE MANUFACTURERS JUMP IN AND HELP THEM BUT, BUSH JUST SIGNED A BILL GIVING THE BIG 3 $25 MILLION EACH TO RETOOL AND START BUILDING THE FULL ELECTRICS AND HYBRIDS! NOTHING WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THE BIG 3 BAILING OUT THEIR DEALERS WITH PART OF THE $25 MILLION! HERE AGAIN; WE’LL SEE! STRANGE BEDFELLOWS THESE POLITICIANS!

 

MY TAIL BONE IS 70% BETTER THAN IT WAS ON MONDAY! I STILL HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW FAST I SET DOWN AND MOVE BUT IT’S GETTING BETTER SO I DON’T THINK I’LL MENTION IT WHEN I SEE MY DOCTOR!

 

WE’RE GOING DOWN TO TIMS AGAIN SATURDAY SO HE CAN TAKE MOM TO ONE OF HER DOINGS THAT’S BEING HELD IN DALLAS! I THINK IT THE “FLYLADY GROUP” SHE FOLLOWS RELIGIOUSLY!

 

JOKE

 

LITTLE KIDS IN SCHOOL! TEACHER TELLS THEM TO GO UP TO THE BLACK BOARD AND PUT A SIGN OF COMMOTION ON IT; LITTLE JOHNNY GOES UP AND LOOKS AROUND AND SEES IT’S RAINING AND HE PUTS A LIGHTENING BOLT ON THE BOARD! VERY GOOD  SAYS THE TEACHER. LITTLE SUSIE GOES UP AND DRAWS THE OCEAN WAVES, THAT’S VERY GOOD SAYS THE TEACHER! LITTLE HERBIE GOES UP AND PUTS A DOT ON THE BOARD AND THE TEACHER SAY, THAT ISN’T A SIGN OF COMMOTION! LITTLE HERBIE ANSWERS, OH YES IT IS, THAT’S A PERIOD, MY OLDER SISTER MISSED THREE OF THEM AND IT’S RAISING A HELL OF A COMMOTION AROUND MY HOUSE!

NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON TODAY! MY TAIL BONE IS GETTING BETTER, I’M MOVING AROUND A LOT MORE AND EASIER! I NEVER KNEW SO MUCH COULD BE AFFECTED BY A BRUISED TAIL BONE! IT SEEM LIKE NO MATTER WHICH WAY OR HOW CAREFULLY I TRIED TO MOVE THERE WAS REAL BAD PAIN AT THE TAIL BONE!

 

MOM IS REALLY BEING KEPT BUSY WITH SHANNON! THE OTHER DAY SHANNON STEPPED IN HER BATH TUB AND THERE WAS SOME WATER ON THE BOTTOM, SHE SLIPPED AND HIT ON THE LEG WITH THE CAST STRETCHING THE TENDON THAT THEY PUT BACK IN PLACE! MOM HAD TO TAKE HER BACK TO THE DOCTOR TODAY AND HE PUT HER ON A PROGRAM OF LAYING HER LEG ON ICE FOR 30 MINUTES ONCE AN HOUR SO MOM SET HER UP WITH AN ICE CHEST FULL OF ICE AND I GUESS A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO PUT THE ICE IN ON THE BED SO SHE CAN SOAK IT! THIS HAS DELAYED HER GETTING BACK ON HER FOOT FOR ANOTHER 1-2 WEEKS! KYLIE THINKS NOTHING OF ASKING MOM TO HAUL HER ALL OVER TOWN BUT HAS BEEN TOLD TO RIDE THE “TAPS” (TEXOMA AREA PATIENT SERVICE) BUS OR FIND SOMEONE LOCAL TO TAKE HER!

 

I TALKED TO BILL MASON LAST NIGHT, HE’S DOING FINE AND IS GETTING READY FOR ANOTHER TRIP IN THE NEW MOTOR HOME! HE MET A NICE LADY AT LAUGHLIN LAST MONTH AND IS GOING TO ALBUQUERQUE TO SPEND A FEW DAYS AND THEN TAKE HER TO MEET HIS BROTH-IN-LAW IN SANTA FE AND THEN TO LAUGHLIN FOR A FEW DAYS! SHE LIVES BY HER SELF BUT HE’S TAKING THE MOTOR HOME INSTEAD OF STAYING IN HER HOUSE! IF IT WORKS OUT THEY’LL SET UP A TRIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN TRAVEL TOGETHER, HE SAID HE MAY COME HERE AGAIN! IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT IT’S BETTER TO FIND OUT NOW THAN LATER! HE HAD TO GO AND STRAIGHTEN OUT THE RETIREMENT ACCOUNT HE HAS FROM WORKING AT THE STUDIOS AND L.A. COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM! LEONA HAD FORGED HER NAME TO IT AND HAD MADE A CLAM ON IT BUT THEY CALLED HIM AND ASKED HIM TO BRING A PROOF OF DIVORCE, SHE CLAIMED THEY WERE STILL MARRIED BUT HE HAD ALREADY CALLED AND GAVE THEM THE DATE THE DIVORCE WAS FINAL! NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE A COPY OF THE FINAL DECREE AND PUT IT IN HIS FILE! HE DID THAT THIS PAST MONDAY! BOY THAT GAL WON’T STOP, HER MOTHER DIED A WHILE BACK AND SHE’S TRYING TO CHEAT HER SISTER OUT OF THE PROPERTY HER FOLKS HAD IN IOWA! IT’S IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF A CITY I DON’T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT! BUT IT’S GOT TO BE VALUABLE!

 

I STILL HAVEN’T GOT MY AMPLIFIED PHONE FROM THE VA THEY SAY IT’S BEEN ORDERED! I’M GOING TO BE OVER THERE ON THE 2^ND OF OCTOBER AND WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO FIND OUT IF IT’S BEING SHIPPED “ON A SLOW BOAT FROM CHINA” OR WHAT? I’M GOING TO ASK IF I SHOULD GO AHEAD AND BUY ONE MYSELF AND SEND THE BILL TO THE VA? THAT MIGHT SHAKE THINGS UP AND GET SOME ACTION STARTED!

 

TIM AND ELYSE ARE PUTTING THEIR HOUSE ON THE MARKET AND GOING BACK TO APARTMENT LIVING, IT’S JUST TOO MUCH WORK TO KEEP IT UP WITH THE TIME TIMS HAVING TO PUT IN AT THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND ELYSE WITH HER NEW JOB THE APARTMENT IS A MUCH BETTER WAY! THEY’RE LOOKING FOR ONE IN THE SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT THEY’RE IN NOW SO THE MOVE DOESN’T UPSET THE KIDS TOO MUCH! OWNING A HOME IS A NICE THING BUT THE UP KEEP WOULD BE OK IF BOTH WORKED 8 HRS. A DAY 5 DAYS, OR JUST TIM WORKED AND ELYSE STAYED HOME WITH THE KIDS AND TOOK CARE OF THE HOUSE BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT’S NOT THE WAY IT IS ANYMORE! IT TAKES TWO GOOD PAY CHECKS TO JUST SURVIVE WITH A FEW NICE THINGS AND MAYBE A VACATION EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO!

 

JOKE

KIDS IN SCHOOL FIRST DAY! TEACHER SAYS SHE WANTS THEM TO STAND ONE AT A TIME AND GIVE THEIR NAME AND TELL WHAT THEIR FATHER DOES FOR A LIVING! FIRST LITTLE GIRL STANDS AND SAYS HER NAME IS SALLY AND HER FATHER IS A POLICEMAN! VERY GOOD; NEXT LITTLE BOY STANDS AND SAYS HIS NAME IS TOMMY AND HIS FATHER’S A MAILMAN! VERY GOOD SAYS THE TEACHER; NEXT LITTLE GIRL STANDS AND SAYS HER NAME IS JUDY AND HER FATHER IS A TRUCK DRIVER! VERY GOOD SAYS THE TEACHER; THE NEXT LITTLE BOY STANDS AND SAYS HIS NAME IS SNOT NOSE BUT BEFORE HE CAN TELL WHAT HIS FATHER DOES THE TEACHER SAYS, NO WHAT’S YOUR REAL FIRST NAME SON, SNOT NOSE HE ANSWERS! THE TEACHER TAKES HIM BY THE ARM AND TELLS HIM TO GO DOWN TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE AND BRING BACK A NOTE WITH HIS REAL FIRST NAME ON IT! AS HE PASSES THE KID IN THE FRONT SEAT BY THE DOOR HE GRABS HIM AND SAYS COME ON SHIT HEAD SHE AIN’T NEVER GONNA TO BELIEVE YOU.

 

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
