Did You Know That All Great Lovers Have Bad Memories Or Did I Tell You That Already ?

Ah, February, the month of love, which brings a new wave of nauseous commercials in addition to the current plethora of mind numbing crapola currently dominating the air waves (read: my clean PC, Joe theisman's Beta badda boom prostate and the over the hill has-beens shilling reverse mortgages).

Yes, my little pitty-pats, This month brings us the countless ads for teddy bears, teddygrams, Snuggies and assorted jewelry. Oh, and I almost forgot. It's also black history month. If there's one thing I really look forward to all year, it's black history month..... 

A public school teacher was arrested at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Holder said, "Al-Gebra is a problem for us. They derive solutions by means and extremes and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns" but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes." White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by Obama. It is believed that another Nobel Prize will follow.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A man is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: "Talking Dog For Sale" He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

He says to the Lab, "You talk?" The Lab says, "Yep." After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says "So, what's your story?" The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA."

The Lab went on, "In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running."

The Lab said, "But the jetting around really tired me out and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. 'The owner says, "Ten dollars" The guy says. "Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" The owner replies, "Because he's a bullshit artist. He's never been out of the yard."

A farmer went to town to see a movie. The ticket agent asked, "Sir, what’s that under your arm?" The old farmer said, "That’s my pet rooster Chucky, wherever I go, Chucky goes." The ticket agent said, "We don’t allow animals in the theater."

The irritated old farmer went around the corner and stuffed the bird down his pants. He returned to the booth, bought a ticket and entered the theater. He sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge. The movie started and the rooster began to squirm. The old farmer unzipped his pants so Chucky could stick his head out and watch the movie.

Mildred whispered, "Marge, I think this guy next to me is a pervert." Marge replied, "What makes you think that?" Mildred whispered, "He unzipped his pants and is exposing himself." Marge said, "Well, don’t worry about it, At our age we’ve seen them all." Mildred said, "Yeah, but this one is eating my popcorn."
