Cyber Mundane

Today is the big Cyber Monday sale across America, so I camped out in front of my computer for one of those hot deals. Of course, I forgot that today is also Cyber Sex Monday, so it got a bit awkward.

It was even worse for Uncle Larry who was trying to juggle Cyber Monday, Cyber Sex Monday and Fiber Monday. Ol' Larry needs to buy a new computer monitor and glasses because of his activities on Cyber Sex Mondays. Larry was almost finished purchasing his glasses when the Fiber kicked in. Uncle Larry didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

The good thing about Cyber Monday is that nobody has ever been robbed, trampled or tasered while shopping online. You car uses hardly any gas and a fine lunch is served promptly without any chance of food poisoning.....

The News As I See It: According to insiders, the White House hired a consulting firm that told them the Obamacare website wasn't ready. But the White House went ahead. The White House made this mistake because they don't know how to open their email.

Obama's wrestling with the healthcare rollout debacle. He urged Americans not to be put off by the Obamacare website and offered alternative ways to enroll, such as using the mail. Then the president got on his horse and rode off to spread the news to the next town.

They really bungled the Obamacare rollout. It just wasn't ready. The only good news out of Obamacare is that it's nice to know somebody knows less about computers than I do.

He's a former leprechaun.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife. She says, "You come to the front door of the apartments. I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I will buzz you in."

This morning, from somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohamed Omar, warned the United States and Canada that if military action is taken against Syria, Taliban authorities will cut off America's and Canada's only supply of convenience store managers.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: It's OK to make jokes about Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians, Blacks, the Polish, the Chinese the French, but its insensitive to make jokes about Muslims. The sooner we are all on the same level playing field, the better.

Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims:

1. If you refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor, You may be a Muslim.
2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes, You may be a Muslim.
3. If you have more wives than teeth, You may be a Muslim.
4. If you wipe your ass with your bare hand but consider bacon to be unclean, You may be a Muslim.
5. If you think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide, You may be a Muslim.
6. If you can't think of anyone you haven't declared jihad against, You may be a Muslim.
7. If you consider television dangerous but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, You may be a Muslim.
8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs, You may be a Muslim.

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand.

But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, opportunities for advancement will pass right by you.

That's it for today, my little cyber shoppers. A suggestion for Milk of Magnesia manufacturers  Please add: '"Don't trust a fart" to your side effects label.
