The Hits Just Keep On Coming: When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried.
Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave.
Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."
Two golfing friends were about to tee off, when one fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball. He asked, "Don't you have at least one other ball?" His friend replied, "Nope, I only need one ball."
The man said, "Are you sure? What happens if you lose that one?" His friend said, "This is a very special golf ball. You can't lose it, so I don't need another one."
The man said, "What do you mean you can't lose it! What happens if you slice your shot and the ball goes in the lake?" His friend answered, "That's okay, this special golf ball senses when it's under water and it puts out a steam of bubbles. I'll be able to retrieve it. You can't lose this ball"
The man said, "Well what happens if you hit it into the long rough?" His firend said, "No problem, you see, this ball can detect the long grass and it sends up puffs of fluorescent smoke. I'll be able to see it easily. You can't lose this ball"
Exasperated, the man asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you hit your ball deep into the trees and it gets lost among the bushes and shrubs?. What are you going to do then?" His friend replied, "That's okay too. You see, this special ball can sense the darkness and it makes a beeping sound. I'll be able to get it back - no problem."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one amazing golf ball, the man asks, "Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?" His friend replied, "I found it."

Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Newton's Third Law and other laws fall short when compared to the Flying Cockroach Theory, which states: In a crowded room, a flying cockroach will always land on you.
Inspired and given birth by Murphy's Law, which basically states that if something can go wrong, it will, the Flying Cockroach theory further pinpoints how wrong some things can go.
There is nothing more humiliating than the reaction of a person who screams like a school girl when the dreaded kamikaze alights on them. Similarly, it can be compared to one's reaction when seaweed touches one's foot while swimming in the ocean.
This reaction occurs to everyone, from little girls to hardened combat veterans. The main reasoning behind this fear is a recent scientific discovery described as the "icky factor".
Originally, Murphy's Law stated that If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it. Since then, several variations of the law have been incorporated as a definition.
Some laws, while accurate, are not very explanatory. For example. formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
While the scientific community seems to be in agreement with the law and its implications, I firmly believe that the idea behind the law was borne and influenced by flatulence.
While most actions and reactions can be scientifically explained, only those who have ever been afflicted by the Flying Cockroach Theory can truly identify with the phenomenon.

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears. The Air Force pilot shook his head and in true pilot fashion said. "And to think that all these years I've just been chewing gum."

So the dentist steps out and comes back with a glass of water, "Here, take this pill." The man asks, "What is it?" The dentist replies, "Viagra." The man looks surprised. "Will that kill the pain?" The dentist replies, "No, but it will give you something to hang on to while I pull your tooth!"

Surprise! A State Department audit found Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state at fault for their use of private email.
A copy of the report was obtained by the Associated Press this morning. The Ap cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications.
These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.
The review came after revelations Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office. Clinton was also criticized for her lack of cooperation with the investigation.
The 78-page report says the department and its secretaries were "slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership."
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) reacted on America's Newsroom, highlighting the fact that the audit also criticizes Clinton for failing to turn over her emails promptly. It also specifically accuses her of violating department policy by not giving over emails when she left office
Sessions called that "totally unacceptable" and contrary to Clinton's claims that she has been fully cooperating, adding "This is the kind of troubling event that casts credibility doubts over Hillary Clinton.

On this date in 1934, Bonnie (Parker) and Clyde (Barrow) were killed in a police shootout.
The infamous duo were ambushed and killed on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. The couple appeared in daylight in an automobile and were shot by a posse of four Texas officers and two Louisiana officers.
Bonnie and Clyde were American criminals who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing and killing people. At times, the gang included Clyde's older brother Buck Barrow and his wife Blanche, Raymond Hamilton, W. D. Jones, Joe Palmer, Ralph Fults, and Henry Methvin.
Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the "Public Enemy Era", between 1931 and 1935. Though known today for his dozen-or-so bank robberies, Barrow preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians.
The couple were eventually ambushed and killed by law officers near the town of Sailes, in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Their reputation was revived and cemented in American pop folklore by Arthur Penn's 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, in which they were played by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.
Even during their lifetimes, their depiction in the press was at considerable odds with the hardscrabble reality of their life on the road, especially for Bonnie Parker. She was present at a hundred or more felonies during the two years she was Barrow's companion, but she was not a machine gun-wielding killer as depicted in the newspapers, newsreels and pulp detective magazines of that time.
Gang member W. D. Jones later testified he could not recall ever having seen her shoot at a law officer. Bonnie's reputation as a cigar-smoking gun moll grew out of a playful snapshot police found at an abandoned hideout. It was released to the press and published nationwide. Parker did chain smoke Camel cigarettes, but she never smoked cigars.
The News As I See It: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are starting to really go at it.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: The circus came to town and an ad for an animal trainer was placed in the local paper. Only two applicants showed up, a man and a woman. The owner said he could only afford one animal trainer, so he would choose the one with the best act.
At first glance it appeared that the female was much better prepared, since she came to the interview in a very long flowing cape, with a whip and a chair. She looked more like a model than a trainer. The man's only distinguishing feature was a soggy cigar stuffed between his cracked and leathery lips. The owner asked who would like to go first, and the man said, "Ladies before Gentleman."
So the lady asked for her special music to be played, and once the music started she entered the cage with a flurry of whip snapping. She motioned the attendant to release the tiger.
The tiger leaped into the cage snarling. The young lady threw aside her whip, tossed back her cape and sat on the chair as naked as the day she was born.
The tiger then circled her, sniffing the air, then suddenly leaped toward her and put its face between her legs. She threw back her head moaning, holding the tiger by the ears with her thighs and rode on the tiger's face all around the cage.
Then the owner looked at the man and said, "That's quite an act. Think you can do better than that?" The man spit out his cigar and said, "You betcha! Just get rid of that damned tiger!"
A man was eating lunch with his 10-year-old granddaughter and he asked her, "How are you doing in school?" The little girl said, "I'm doing great. We're learning about the new holiday, "President Obama Day" that occurs on June 1st.
Her grandfather said, "President's Day is in February. What does President Obama Day mean?"
She replied, "I know. We've studied the February date, but this is a new holiday. President Obama Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow, we have one more year of unemployment."

The doctor called in Murray and said, "Look, Murray, I know you want to get married, but I must tell you that Rose has acute angina." Murray said, "I know. She's got great tits too!"
The Hits Just Keep On Coming: At New York's Kennedy airport, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, a police spokesperson said he believed the man is a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
When asked to comment on the arrest, Barry Hussein Soetero-Obama said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
A young ventriloquist is touring Norway and puts on a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being?"
She continued, "Its men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general, pathetically all in the name of humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, but the blonde interrupts, yelling, "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap."
That's it for today, my little chicklets. Remember, it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 1 to extend your middle finger and say bite me. I'm heading over to AREA 51 for happy hour.
