Deep Thoughts

Men are deep thinkers. I mowed the lawn today and after doing so, I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My girlfriend walked by and asked me what I was doing and I said "nothing." The reason I said that instead of saying "just thinking" is because she would have said, "about what?"

At that point, I would have to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics which would lead to other questions. Finally, I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the balls?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the balls. Well, after another beer and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question. Getting kicked in the balls is more painful than having a baby.

Here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like to be kicked in the balls again." I rest my case.....

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) My son asked, "Am I adopted?" I told him, "Not yet, but we're hopeful." 2) I find it weird watching the passenger drive the car in England. 3) How can you go broke making Twinkies when two states just legalized marijuana? 4) I thought I heard my cat walking down the hall because of his long claws.

A man's daughter asked why I didn't do something useful with his time. She suggested that he go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys. Her father did this and when he got home that night, he told her that he had joined a parachute club.

She said "Are you nuts? You're almost 70 years old and you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" He proudly showed her his new membership card. She said to him, "Dad, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club!"

Her father lamented, "Well, then I'm in trouble. I signed up for five jumps next week....."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to Brother Kirt for today's lead story.

Sid and Al were sitting in a Chinese restaurant. The waiter stopped to take their order and both ordered tea. Sid said to Al, "I wonder if there are any Jews in China?" Sid replied. "I don't know. Let's ask the waiter?" When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Chinese Jews?" The waiter replied, "No, sir. No, Chinese Jews." Al asked, "Are you sure?" The waiter replied, "I will check again, sir," and went back to the kitchen.

While he was still gone, Sid said, "I cannot believe there are no Jews in China. Our people are scattered everywhere." When the waiter returned he said, "Sir, no Chinese Jews." Al asked again. " I cannot believe there are no Chinese Jews." The waiter said, "Sir, I ask everyone. We have Orange Jews, Prune Jews, Tomato Jews and Grape Jews, but we have no Chinese Jews."

One morning a man comes into the church on crutches. He stops in front of the holy water and splashes some of it on both of his legs, then throws away his crutches.

An altar boy witnessed the scene and runs into the rectory to tell the priest what he'd just seen. Without batting an eye, the priest says, "Son, you've just witnessed a miracle. Tell me, where is this man?" The altar boy replies, "Flat on his ass, Father, over by the holy water."

I rode around the block on my bike for the first time in years and now I understand why Lance Armstrong took performance enhancing drugs.....
