The Usual Suspects

Writing today's post, I am reminded that I am lucky to have so many great friends. Glancing at my sidebar pictures, I am even more fortunate that the bevy of beautiful women pictured there allow me to sit amongst their midst. One's riches is indeed one's friends.

It seems that every week or so, my friends and I embark on a new adventure and our group of comrades changes depending on who can make it, my getting a weekend pass from the home or some of them making bail. We're not all crazy, but when you hang out with our group, crazy is an asset.

We always have a great time singing karaoke and cracking jokes. We are known is some places to have actually closed the bar.

Our group is mainly comprised of the usual suspects but newcomers occasionally stray into the group and we are open to most. If they happen to be female, my overseer usually tightens my leash cautioning me not to scare them away.

Yep, I've probably been on more adventures than most people and I look forward to the next outing. As you may have noticed, no names were mentioned in today's post because it could be hazardous to my health, but you know who you are.....

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) If I could have sex with anyone, living or dead, I'd probably pick living. 2) My niece guessed the capital of Montana is Hannah and I had to give it to her because as far as I know, that's correct. 3) The fact that peanut butter companies feel it necessary to put on the jar that the product "Contains Peanuts" makes me extremely nervous for the human race. 4) Upon graduation from the University of Phoenix, do they just send you a screen shot of your degree?  5) I was trying to make pancakes this morning and, as it turns out, I didn't get the spatula in the divorce.....and that's five !

Today's Horoscope: Aquarius - January 29th: An Asian person may appear in your life this week. If you're lucky, it will be a man because chances are that he will be a Sushi chef. On the other hand, it may be a lovely young woman. But remember, just because the tattoo above the crack in her ass has Chinese characters in it doesn't make her spiritual. It translates to "beef with broccoli."

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: 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."

A man goes to his doctor's office and says, "I'm sorry doctor, I know this is unusual, but I seem to have lettuce stuck up my ass!" The doctor says, "Good grief! I'd better take a look."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: An Indian boy goes to his mother one day with a puzzled look on his face. He asks her, "Say Mom, why is my big brother named Mighty Storm?"

His mother explained, "Because he was conceived on an evening when the winds blew strong and the rain came down upon us."

Then he asked, "Why is my sister named Cornflower"? His mother replied, "Well, your father and I were walking in a cornfield that was ready to harvest when we made her."

He then asked, "And why is my other sister called Moon Child"? His mother said, "We were lying in a beautiful meadow observing the full moon when she was conceived."

The mother paused and said to her son, "Tell me, Two Dogs Humping, why do you ask?"

A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City. He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of on-lookers gathers around. The man gasps, "Somebody get me a priest!" A policeman checks the crowd and there's no priest, no minister, no man of God of any kind.

Then out of the crowd steps a little old man. He says, "Mr. Policeman, I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I've been living behind St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on First Avenue, and every night I'm listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."

The policeman agrees and brings the old man over to where the dying man lay. He kneels down, leans over the injured man and says slowly in a solemn voice, "B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72..."

That's it for today, my little chili peppers. Remember, if you're a white guy and walk into Home Depot without wearing sunglasses on top of your head, legally, they don't have to sell you anything . I'm heading over to AREA 51 for happy hour.
