Some Things Just Aren't Necessary, Ladies !

Saturday night (actually Sunday AM), I was on the computer with the television running in the background. A show came on and since I was busy, I didn't bother to change channels. As it turned out, it was a documentary on beauty pageants and a close-up of the women who enter them. One of the things I happened to notice was the number of women who had undergone breast enhancement surgery.

I am not a fan of breast augmentation. As any red-blooded American man will tell women, we are quite happy with whatever is available. Beside the fact that most surgeries of this nature are fairly obvious, it is also a dangerous procedure that, in most cases, isn't necessary.

Surgery such as breast reduction and breast reconstruction are understandable and necessary procedures. Augmentation surgery for flat chested women are also understandable procedures.

The number of women who opt for cosmetic breast surgery is overwhelming, leading me to believe that personality enhancement surgery or even a full frontal lobotomy may have been a wiser option. If women believe that this type of surgery is necessary to get a better job or be in the entertainment business, it's a sad thought, indeed. Moreover, it is even a sadder note if women think it's the key to a good relationship or marriage. The truth is that in most cases, men are just happy if you like them and any proverbial extras are just icing on the cake.

The Daytona 400 was run Saturday night and if you like Nascar stock car racing, you may have had mixed opinions about winner Tony Stewart, but you can't say the finish wasn't exciting. With Stewart and Kyle Bush racing to the checkered flag, Stewart attempted to make a pass and Busch blocked him. When Stewart attempted to pass Busch again, Busch moved to block again and the second block proved to be Busch's downfall and Stewart put him into the wall. See for yourself.

Today is former President George Dubya Bush's birthday and although I disliked his presidency, it is fitting to at least respect the office and wish him a happy birthday. I would like to thank him for keeping America out of any nucular wars. I would also like to congratulate his high school and college English teachers for turning out such an eloquent speaker.

Picture Of The Day: I didn't have any picture subject in mind for today until I decided to comment on the beauty pageant documentary. Fortunately, as I am wont to do, I always have a file on women and the great photo shots and effects that are posted throughout the Internet. Pretty fortunate, eh?

Birthdays: Frida Kahlo, painter 1907, Andrey Gromyko (1909-1989), Soviet leader who served as Foreign Minister (1957-1985) and President of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) (1985-1988) 1909, Bill Haley, American singer 1925, Vladimir Ashkenazy, pianist 1937, George W.

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) After watching the various headlines for the past two weeks, I've come to the conclusion to never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. 2) Most women like silent men because they think they're listening. 3) Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. 4) When I was a child, I woke one Saturday morning to read a note that Sister Jean and Brother Kirt had run away from home. They returned around 11:00 a.m. stating they changed their minds. When I looked into their bag that contained their food rations, I found one can of candied yams and no can opener. 5) I think that for every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming:

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." The old man said, I know! We were probably sitting here naked as a jaybird fifty years ago." Granny snickered, "Well, let's relive some old times."

Where upon, the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table. The little old lady breathlessly said, "You know, honey, my nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago." Gramps said, "That doesn't surprise me dear, one's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal."

Toward the end of the golf course, Dave hit his ball into the woods, finding it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch.

All of a sudden, in a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, "I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me to make those buttercups? Just for that, you won't have any butter for your popcorn the rest of your life. Better still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life. As a matter of fact, you won't have any butter for anything the rest of your life!" Then, poof!...she was gone.

After Dave got a hold of himself, he hollered for his friend Fred. "Fred, where are you?" Fred yells back, "I'm over here, in the pussywillows." Dave yells back. "Don't Swing Fred! For God's sake, Don't Swing!!"

That's it for today my little tinker toys. More on Wednesday.
