Sunday Laugh-In.....
Well Sir...I s'pose there be a few of y'all out there who might just remember one of the best comical shows ever.....Rowan & Martin's LAUGH IN....
Ah yes....time's where a simpler back then...but, I guess so were we....Here be some clips and snippets...
______________________________
The husband leans over and asks his wife,
'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago?? We went behind this very tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'
'Yes', she says, 'I remember it well.'
'OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'
'Oh Charlie, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.
The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing. I've got to ask them what their secret is.
So, as the couple passes, he says to them,' Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'
Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,
'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence.' _________________________________
When Grandma Goes To Court
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked,
'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?'
She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair. _______________________________

Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself nude in a mirror, after a relaxing bath.
Her frustration over her lack of ability to lose weight was depressing her.
In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help...
"God...if you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to you," she prayed.
And at that very moment, her ears fell off........... _____________________________
Two families moved from Saudi Arabia to the USA .
When they arrived the two fathers made a bet - in a year's time which ever family had become more American would win.
A year later they met again. The first man said,
"My son is playing baseball, I had McDonald's for breakfast and I'm on my way to pick up a case of Bud. How about you?"
The second man replied, "Fuck you, towel head." __________________________________
My wife and I went to the rodeo and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, '
"THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs ....Smiled and said,
"He mated 50 times last year."
We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said,
"THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife gave me a healthy jab and said,
"WOW~~That's more than twice a week! .........You could learn a lot from him."
We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters,
"THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and said,
"That's once a day ..You could REALLY learn something from this one."
I looked at her and said,
"Go over and ask him if it was with the same old cow."
Honestly-----My condition has been upgraded from critical to stable and I should eventually make a full recovery. ________________________________
Well Sir...movin on...my good amiga Nicki from over at The Birthplace of the Process of Illogical Logic wrote a post about how Barack Hussein Obama may be having troubles because of his middle name...so..she felt that all he has to do is just use his initials...B O.

Subject: Guts vs Balls
We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below..
Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: 'OK...You're next.'
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.
Medically speaking, there is no difference in that the prognosis of both actions will ultimately result in death. ____________________________________

" What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.
" J amie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.
"That little shit, O'Conner," says Sean,
"He couldn't do that to you,
He must have had something in his hand."
" That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, And a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, Didn't you have something in your hand?"
That I did," said Paddy.
"Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of Beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

...and here be a fine Irish joke I've been a tellin fer years....
Colleen was a fine attractive Irish lass, and at age 16...she marries Patrick. She has 4 kids by Patrick, but alas, Patrick catches the Flu one winter and passes on.
Now Sir...Colleen, being as attractive as she is, quickly gets re-married to Shamus. She has another 4 kids by Shamus, but, Shamus was a member of the IRA and while making a bomb one day, accidentally blew himself up.
Now mates...although Colleen now has 8 children, she was still relatively young and attractive and again marries, only this time to Sean. She then has another 4 kids by Sean.
Now friends...with Sean havting to support himself, a wife and 12 children and his farm, he worked so hard, he worked himself to death.
A few years later, Colleen herself passes on.
At her funeral, her stout Irish mother who is still alive, is standing at the side of Colleen's coffin with her friend, looking in at Colleeen.
"Well" said the mother, "Thanks be t'God they're finally t'gether."
The friend, not knowin which husband the mother might be talking about, ask's.."Who might ye be talkin aboot darlin...Patrick, Shamus or Sean?"
"No darlin" replies Colleens mother, "I was talkin about her legs!" _________________________________
Now Sir...I know this next article is political in nature and I said I was going to stay away from this stuff...BUT... This IS a Joke...and....He IS a JOKE!
A PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D- ILL)
My fellow Identity-Americans.
As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their... well, support.
Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.
I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy (currently the Senate drunk) caused the death of a young staff member by drowning. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.
Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.
I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
Americans are tired of thinking.
It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.
So when you go to vote, remember don't think, just do.
And do it for me.
Thank You.

This one goes out to Gina Elise who is working hard and doing wonders for our wounded war Vets....and, from watchin her latest video on YouTube, I happen to know that this is her favorite song......my way of sayin ....Thanks "G"....
COOKIE'S NOTE: I had posted this a few hours prior to learning of Mr. Swayze's present grave medical condition. I think this is also a fitting tribute to him as this is one of the movies he is best remembered for. _____________________________
Oh No!!! Invaders from Mars... and other such places...BUT... Not Mexico...
Well Sir...here was a time when fer the outrageous cost of .25 cents, ya could get inta the movies on a Saturday afternoon, watch one or two of these "B" movies, and grab some popcorn or candy fer yurself as well...AND...these were the ONLY invaders ya had t'worry about back then...
BTW...if'n ya recall...ya could always tell when you were gonna have the shit scared outta ya by the increased crescendo of the music.....

Well Sir...this here Vet had to spend some time in a VA Hospital some time back, and although the care I and others received was excellent...any hospital can be a very lonely place....Sooo...if yur a Vet, disabled or not, and ya've ever spent any length of time in any hospital...then ya can just imagine what a visit frum a fine lookin patriotic young woman like Gina could do fer yur morale...I know she'd lift my "spirits" a tad....so...if'n ya can...
Spend a couple a bucks and buy one of her calendars, have yur photygraff taken with the calendar and send it in to Gina, who will most likely use it on her website.....OR...buy one that will be sent to a hospitalized Vet....even better... _______________________________
RETIREMENT BONUS
The Navy found they had too many Chief Petty Officers and decided to offer an early retirement bonus. They promised any Chief Petty Officer who volunteered for retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points in his body. The Chief's got to choose what those two points would be.
The first Chief who accepted asked that he be measured from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured at six feet and walked out with a bonus of $72,000.
The second Chief who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He walked out with $96,000.
The third one was an old Navy Seabee, Senior Chief Petty Officer, a grizzly old Chief who, when asked where he would like to be measured replied, "From the tip of my weenie to my testicles."
It was suggested by the pension man that he might want to reconsider, explaining about the nice big checks the previous two Chiefs had received. But the crusty old Senior Chief insisted and they decided to go along with him providing the measurement was taken by a Medical Officer.
The Medical Officer arrived and instructed the Chief to "drop 'em," which he did.. The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the Chief's weenie and began to work back. Dear Lord!" he suddenly exclaimed, "Where are your testicles?"
The old Chief calmly replied, "Vietnam."

The Democratic Party has a crisis of monumental proportions:
They don't know whether to vote for the "Nut" with two Boobs or the "Boob" with two Nuts....
A guy is browsing in a pet shop and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud, "Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot?"
The parrot says, "I was born this way. I'm a defective parrot."
"Holy crap," the guy replies. "You actually understood and answered me!"
"I got every word," says the parrot. "I happen to be a highly intelligent thoroughly educated bird."
"Oh yeah?" the guy asks, "Then answer this -- how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?"
"Well," the parrot says, "this is very embarrassing but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar like a little hook. You can't see it because of my feathers."
"Wow," says the guy. "You really can understand and speak English can't you?"
"Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic: politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy. I'm especially good at ornithology. You really ought to buy me. I'd be a great companion."
The guy looks at the $20000 price tag. "Sorry, but I just can't afford that."
"Pssssssst," says the parrot, "I'm defective, so the truth is, nobody wants me cause I don't have any feet. You can probably get me for $20; just make the guy an offer!"
The guy offers $20 and walks out with the parrot.
Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of humor, he's interesting, he's a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he's insightful. The guy is delighted.
One day the guy comes home from work and the parrot goes, "Psssssssssssst," and motions him over with one wing. "I don't know if I should tell you this or not, but it's about your wife and the postman."
"What are you talking about?" asks the guy..
"When the postman delivered the mail today, your wife greeted him at the door in a sheer black nightie."
"WHAT???" the guy asks incredulously. "THEN what happened?"
"Well, then the postman came into the house and lifted up her nightie and began petting her all over," reported the parrot.
"NO!" he exclaims. "And she let him?"
"Yes. Then he continued taking off the nightie! , got down on his knees and began to kiss her all over...."
Then the frantic guy demands, "THEN WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Damned if I know. It was about that time that I got an erection and and fell off my perch!"

Warning - not just for New Yorkers, but anybody planning on a visit!!!!
Zero tolerance speed camera
With the New York highway death toll continuing to increase, this will be the first year that Zero Tolerance Speed Cameras will be used. The new cameras look different from the normal cameras. I have included a photo so that you are familiar with them. Make sure you do not speed when approaching one!!
Please take this warning seriously as you will not get a second chance.

When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, 'I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it.'
In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box was 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash.
She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why there even was such a box with such contents. That evening, they were out for a special anniversary dinner.
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, 'I am so sorry, Bill. For all these years, I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know, why do you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?'
Bill thought for a while and said, 'I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.'
Hillary was shocked, but said, 'Hmmm, Jennifer, Paula and Monica. I am very disappointed and saddened by your behavior. However, since you are addicted to sex I guess it does happen and I guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem.'
Bill thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace. A little while later Hillary asked Bill, 'So why do you have all that money in the box?'
Bill answered: 'Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash.' ___________________________________
