Recipe For Disaster - Kitten vs Computer


Friday's post was deleted, thanks to my kitten, Scooter, who has total disregard for my computer. Just before posting, I took a brief bathroom break. I returned to find Scooter sitting on my keyboard and looking at pictures of Rangoon. Cat people will understand.

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) I had several maladies, then 200 people on Facebook were brave enough to change their statuses and now I'm cured. It's a miracle. 2) I saw something on television this weekend and it included an offer for a "free" gift. What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free? 3) I've discovered that women don't consider it chivalrous when you open bathroom stall doors for them. 4) If there isn't a Chinese millionaire whose name is Cha Ching, then I don't see the point of money.  5) Starbucks should have a separate line for people who don't know what they want or how the world works.....and that's five !

If you don't happen to be near the islands, then chances are you're to be alone. Safe, but alone. It's your call. Remember, wind directions can vary as much as the accuracy of these horoscopes, so make your decision wisely.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase, "Tuti Homini" - Blessed be Mankind. A women's rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind.

The next day, after his sermon, the Pope concluded by saying, "Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini" - Blessed be Mankind and Womankind. The next day a gay rights group approached the Pope. They said that they noticed he blessed Mankind and Womankind and asked if he could also bless gay people.

The pope said, "Sure." The next day the Pope concluded his sermon with, "Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini, et Tuti Fruiti"

A drunk is sitting in a bar having a drink when a beautiful woman sits down next to him. The drunk, seeing opportunity buys the women a beer and proceeds to hit on her.

Then, he asks her, "Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?" The woman looks at him and says, "For a million dollars, sure!" The drunk then asks, "Would you sleep with me for 20 dollars?"

The woman is instantly upset and yells, "Twenty dollars, what do you think I am some kind of whore?!" The drunk then looks at her and says, "We have already established that fact, madam, now we're just negotiating the price.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: A blonde heard that milk baths would make her beautiful. She left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons.

So he knocked on the door to clarify the point. The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean 2.5 gallons?"

The blonde said, "I want 25 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath so I can look young and beautiful again." The milkman asked, "Do you want it pasteurized?" The blonde said, "No, just up to my tits. I can splash it on my eyes."

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students and said, "Human beings are the only animals that stutter." A little girl raises her hand and said, "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered." The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

The little girl said, "Well, I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!"

The teacher said, "That must have been scary."The little girl said, "It sure was! My kitty raised his back, went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff' and before he could say 'F*ck', the Rottweiler ate him!"

That's it for today, my little rice cakes. Remember, the next time someone on a plane reclines their seat into you, pull them back even further and whisper in their ear, "Keep going."
