Today's Joke
After spending 3-1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and insane regulations at the department of motor vehiciles, a lady stopped at a toy store to pick up a gift for her son. She brought her selection - a baseball bat - to the cash register. "Cash or charge," the clerk asked.
"Cash," she snapped. Then apologizing for her rudeness, she explained, "
I've spent the afternoon at the motor-vehical bureau. I am way past sane!!" "Shall I gift -wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly, "Or or you going back there?"

Clean Joke of the Day
At 99
When a grandmother was in her late eighties, she decided to move to Israel. As part of the preparations, she went to see her doctor and get all her charts. The doctor asked her how she was doing, so she gave him the litany of complaints - this hurts, that's stiff, I'm tired and slower, etc.
He responded with, "Mrs. Siegel, you have to expect things to start deteriorating. After all, who wants to live to 100?"
The grandmother looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Anyone who's 99."

@Pearler, funny stuff, like going to the family reunion to meet girls, huh?
@C_B,Thanks for sharing the humor.smiles
Ya know, it's like Pearler insinuated, we're gonna get skid marks periodically! Lord knows we both got our panties bunched up while meeting some from over the state lines but for the most part the junk has been sorted thru and the trash identified.
I've quoted Edward Abbey before, he sez:
"Society is like a stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of scum on top." (wow! did we ever!)
The decent respectable and wiser folks seem to now recognize that other than for differing opinions us Californians are humans too.
... the other ones, well, who really cares?
The SAST still has "topic restrictions" (it's not an open forum) I have trouble with the limitations and rules so for that reason, it's rare that I post there. I'm far more comfortable locally but I will say the SA has some very quick witted, and fun folks that I enjoy reading. I wish they'd visit here where conversation and thoughts can be shared instead of comments being limited to a specific topic. Whatever...
Gotta bounce! Love you all!

***WHERE IN VENTURA???!!

Ventura police are investigating three reports a man trying to lure children into his car that started in November and occurred as recently as this weekend, officials said.
In each of the incidents the suspect approached children between the ages of 14 and 16 who were walking alone, police said. The suspect attempted to lure the minors into his vehicle in exchange for a ride or money, police said.

Hey Shunned!! :)
OjaiGuy writes:
Heres a little tip I do when I'm cooking, especially spaghetti sauce. Just my opinion, but I think this works well.
When whatever you're cooking is simmering, take the top of the pot off, and using a large spoon or ladle, skim out the scum, and throw it in the trash where it belongs. It works well, and leaves the final meal healthier and easier to digest.
If you just stir the pot, the scum is still there, and can cause problems with the digestive system. Plus, you have to use a stronger degreezer when washing out the scum.

LoL, yeah, cooking..

EZgeezer writes:
@OG, whelp, while I'm not sure if the same rules would apply for stew and spaghetti I admit your thoughts about trashing the scum that surfaces does seem to make more sense than Edward Abbey's: “Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.”
I know I'd likely find much of our society easier to swallow with some of the scum removed!
@Shunned, laughing. Now that you mention it I do remember something about Alley, You and the campaign trail... However when someone recently suggested publicly Sarie might be a 'pinko communist' and Sarie didn't deny or dispute it, even though I'm sure it was probably out of respect for and while trying to maintain peace and harmony in the BC, by ignoring it, the damage was done! Who would have thought a remark whether serious or in jest would be responsible for destroying my chances as a candidate for office? laughing... no biggy, doesn't matter. Seize the moment! I'm gonna support you (and Alley) in this race! Heck, we've still not had a Female US President... There's basically NO BAR set at present. There's no competition to speak of...
If the whole Mayan calendar ending thing doesn't bother you, I say: Go For It!
Credit where due, you can thank Trix for clearing Sarie (and me) off the ticket. "lol"

Hmm, does this bashing -- while humorously so, of course -- of the DMV still have relevance today?
