Super Bowl Sunday

Sunday's Super Bowl will be played in Governor Chris Christie's home state of New Jersey, a state that is accustomed to 300-pound guys blocking things. The forecast is expected to be in the mid-30s. It's above freezing but not so warm that you can smell the bodies in the swamp.

Yep, it's the Denver Broncos versus the Seattle Seahawks in the Big One that, due to both states recent legalization of recreational weed, is now also known as the Marijuana Bowl.

There are still more than 11,000 Super Bowl tickets unsold. Why they would have trouble selling $1,500 tickets to an outdoor event being held in a blizzard that you can watch on TV for free, is beyond me.

The odds makers have the Broncos favored by three points.
While I rarely pay much attention to the oddsmakers, I feel that Denver has the offense edge behind the experience of quarterback Peyton Manning, Defensively, it remains to be seen if Richard Sherman will play as the well spoken Dr. Jekyll or the rude, hot headed, Mr. Hyde.

I look forward to the normally well produced commercials through out the game and I see the outcome as the Denver Broncos defeating the Seattle Seahawks, 24 to 21.

Who will be playing? Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

There are certain rites of passage between father and son that are passed down from generation to generation. I fondly recall when my father and I, like his father and he before him, experienced one particular rite. To this day, it still brings tears to my eyes when I sat down with my son and said to him, "Hey Kevin, pull my finger."

In New Orleans, Hillary Clinton said she still doesn't know if she's running for president in 2016. Isn’t that unbelievable? With 315 million Americans, what are the odds she’s the only one in the country who doesn’t know she’s running for president in 2016?

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) Watching the Obama propaganda machine in motion, I realized that the average octopus spends two thirds of its life rolling up its sleeves. 2) Sure, women "say" that you don't need men anymore, but just wait until we start packaging tampons in tightly sealed jars. 3) Jehovah's Witnesses door-to-door success rate would be a lot higher if they partnered up with the Girl Scouts and started selling cookies 4) I'd love to have a sex change, preferably from "none" to "shitloads". 5) Even if I’m mad at my girlfriend, I should be mature enough not to flush the toilet on purpose while she’s in the shower, but it turns out I’m not.....and that's five !

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the Preacher. The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, Are you ready to find Jesus?" The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, Preacher, I sure am."

The minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up. The preacher asks, "Have you found Jesus?" The drunk replies, "No, I didn't!" The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?" The drunk says, "No, I did not Reverend."

The preacher, in disgust, holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, "My Good man, have you found Jesus yet?" The old drunk wipes his eyes and asks the preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

A policeman cruising past a bar after closing time notices two motor bikes still parked out front. He goes around the back of the pub only to find two bikers, one with his fingers up the ass of the other.

The cop says, "What's going on here?" The biker replies, "My friend here has had too much to drink and I'm trying to make him vomit."

The cop says, "I think you should be sticking your fingers down his throat!" The biker replies, "That's what I'm going to do next!"
 

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Prince Charles finds an ancient wine bottle in the cellar of Windsor Castle. When he opens it, a genie flies out and grants him a wish. Charles is ecstatic as just that morning he had reversed his Range Rover over the Queen's favourite corgi and squashed it flat.

He asks the genie to bring back the dog to life as the Queen would be furious and upset. The genie examines the dog which is splattered all over the drive and tells Charles that there is nothing he can do so he'd best chuck the dog in the garbage.

Charles then asks the genie if he could make his girlfriend Camilla Parker-Bowles beautiful as the media were always making fun of her looks. The genie thinks for a moment scratches his head and says, "On second thought, get that f*cking dog out of the garbage again!"

 A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said "Okay! You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!"

The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?" The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible. The supports would never reach the bottom of the Pacific. No, think of another wish." The man said okay and tried to think of a really good wish.

Finally, the man said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women. To know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment and why they're crying. I want to know what they really want when they say 'nothing', how to make them truly happy."

The genie said, "You want that bridge with two lanes or four?
