Boycott The NFL On Veteran's Day Weekend

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, a day to remember the scared young soldier who was wounded or gave his or her life while serving America. Please remember all the soldiers and their families, both past and present, who sacrificed their youth serving their country.

My father served in World War II and my brother Kirt and I served when we were called. As a personal protest, I do not watch any National Football League games, especially this weekend. I also refuse to buy any product with a NFL logo on it or any services offered by companies involved with the NFL.

Whie I like the game of football, I respect our flag and national anthem more and refuse to watch the morons who disrespect the anthem or the flag.

The News As I See It: Uber signed a deal with NASA on Wednesday to develop "Uber Elevate", a new type of Uber that will use flying cars. They’re developing a flying Uber. Los Angeles apparently will be one of the first cities to get flying Ubers. L.A. is perfect, because who is more qualified to fly you through the sky at 5,000 feet than an illegal alien or an out-of-work actor-deejay-dog walker?

Twitter doubled the amount of characters you can use from 140 to 280 characters. In theory, this means Twitter is now Facebook, right? They're basically the same thing — or is it possible there is anyone on the planet who thought, "You know what this year needs? More Twitter."

Picture Of The Day: Remember our soldiers

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) If you serve a toddler pancakes, they’ll stay sticky until just after college. 2) I missed two of my mom's calls, so I assume the helicopter that just flew over my house is part of the search crew she called. 3) I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now. 4) After having lived in terror all these years, Gloria Estefan's threat finally came true. I turned on my car radio and was brutally attacked by the rhythm. 5) Right now I'm having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.....and that's five !

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A man and his wife were driving home one very cold night when the wife asks her husband to stop the car. There was a baby skunk lying at the side of the road, and she got out to see if it was still alive.

It was, and she said to her husband, “It’s nearly frozen to death. Can we take it with us, get it warm, and let it go in the morning?” He says, “O.K., Get in the car with it.”

The wife asked,“Where shall I put it to get it warm?” He says, “Put it in between your legs. It’s nice and warm there.” The wife asked, “But what about the smell?” The mad replied, “Just hold its little nose.”

The man is expected to recover, but the skunk she used to beat him with died at the scene.

A dietitian was once addressing a large audience in Chicago. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful.

Vegetables can be disastrous and none of us realizes the germs in our drinking water. Yet there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all eat it. Can anyone here tell me what lethal product I'm referring to?.

A man in the front row raised his hand. The dietitian said, "You, sir, in the first row, please give us your idea." The man in the front row lowered his head and said, "Wedding cake."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying. "Hi, how are you?" I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restroom, but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine."

The other guy says, "So what are you up to?' What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say, "Uh, I'm like you, just traveling." At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.

The guy says, "Can I come over?" Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, "No, I'm a little busy right now."

Then I hear the guy say nervously, "Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions."

A husband and wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when the wife looks over at him and asks, "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?" He replied, "Definitely not!" His wife asked, "Why not? Don't you like being married?" He answered, "Of course I do." The wife said, "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"

The husband said, "Okay, okay, I'd get married again." With a hurt look, she said, "You would?" His wife inquired, "Would you live in our house?" He answered, "Sure, it's a great house." She asked, "Would you sleep with her in our bed?" The husband replied, "Where else would we sleep?" She continued, "Would you let her drive my car?" He said, "Probably, it is almost new."

The wife asked, "Would you replace my pictures with hers?" He said, "That would seem like the proper thing to do." She asked, "Would you give her my jewelry?" He answered, "No, I'm sure she'd want her own." His wife asked, "Would she use my golf clubs?" Her husband replied, "No, she's left-handed."

That's it for today, my little pollywogs. Remember, all barbers are not the same. What I said was, "Just a trim, please." What the barber must have heard was,"Give me the Kim Jong-un." I'm heading over to AREA 51 for happy hour.
