I did not know this When you drink vodka over ice, it can give you kidney failure. When you drink rum over ice, it can give you liver failure. When you drink whiskey over ice, it can give you heart problems. When you drink gin over ice, it can cause brain damage. Apparently ice is really bad for you. sorry
It's a snowy winter's evening in Moscow, somewhere in the early 1970s....and two Soviet Interior Ministry guards are pacing the walls of the Kremlim in the blizzard. One walks slowly up to the other... "Chilly, Comrade?" "Niet", says the other, "Today it's Bolivia, tomorrow it's Chile!"
Since it is Super Bowl Sunday, this is apropos. There was this guy who LOVED football. It was his dream to go to the superbowl. One year, he scrimped and saved and cut every corner possible, and he was able to buy a ticket. Unable to afford a plane ticket, he hitchhiked to the game, and got to his seat (way up in the nosebleed section) ready to watch his dream game. His seats really suck. He's way in the middle of nowhere, and even has a pole in front of him that he has to lean sideways to see around, but at least he's there! He's scanning the crowd, and he sees that one seat, way down in the middle, only 5 rows off the 50-yard line is empty! Jesus, how the heck could someone pay that much for a ticket and not show up!?!? This is driving the poor guy crazy, so he has to find out what's going on. During halftime, he runs down and makes it to the empty seat. It's a 2-person box, and there is a guy in the other seat. He says, "Is that your seat?" The guy says, "Yeah, it's my wife's seat. We come here together every year." He says, "Well, where is she?" The guy says, "She passed away..." So, he says "geez... Sorry to hear that. So, why'd you come alone? The guy says, "I couldn't get anyone to come with me." He says, "What? Are you nuts? You couldn't find a friend or brother or cousin, or ANYONE?!?!?!" And the guy says "Nope. They all wanted to go to the funeral."
This caught my eye today, and since I only saw the "highlights" of the halftime show as some of it made the news (for some reason), I simply had to share it.
Clint, your one above reminded me of this; A foursome on the golf course were getting ready to tee-off on a fairway that bordered the nearby highway. A funeral was passing by and one of the golfers stood still, removed his hat and placed it over his heart and bowed his head. Another in the group said " That was mighty considerate of you". The old duffer replied " Well, it's the least I could do. After all, I was married to her for 47 years".
In the theme of golf jokes: Alice and Tom had a big date planned for their anniversary, but Tom had also booked 18 rounds with Fred that morning. They worked a compromise, with Tom promising Alice that he would be back by 2pm, and that the evening he had planned would be one to remember! With a quick kiss, he set off with Fred for the club. 2pm rolled around, and no Tom. Alice was annoyed. 3pm came. 4pm. 5pm. Finally, at 7pm that evening, Tom came dragging through the door, hot, tired, dusty, and sweaty. Alice immediately started in on him. "2PM! You PROMISED you'd be back by 2pm! Why, you no-good, self-centered, conniving-" "Wait a second, Babe, lemme tell you what happened," Tom interrupted, leaning his clubs against the wall. "We started out on time, the weather was perfect, and the day was going great, when all of a sudden, on the 3rd hole, Fred dropped dead of a heart attack." Alice immediately switched gears. "Oh, dear, that's terrible! His poor wife! Are you doing okay?" she cried, concerned. "Yeah, I'm beat, though. The rest of the day was nothing but 'hit the ball...drag Fred....hit the ball....drag Fred...'"
Gun Wisdom Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it: A. Guns have only two enemies -- rust and politicians. B. Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. C. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you. D. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length. E. Never say "Ive got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. F. The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second. G. The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary. H. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty. I. If you’re in a gun fight: 1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading. 2. If you're not loading, you should be shooting or moving, 3. If you're not moving, you're dead. J. In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something! K. If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? L. You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language. M. You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
I don’t know where I heard this golfer joke, but probably from one of my cousins who is a real golf nut up on the Hi-Line. A pastor and a parishioner are out for a round one lovely afternoon, and whenever the lay person would shank or hook a shot, or put himself in a trap he would curse loud and long, throw his club in the general direction of the ball followed by even more obscenity. The pastor shook his head every time this happened and admonished his partner for his foul language, warning him that God didn’t look with favor on this sort of speech. On about the sixth hole, the parishioner missed a really easy shot on the flag and really let fly with the expletives followed with; "Dam*!!!, missed again". Just at that moment the sky clouded up, thunder rumbled, and then a bolt dashed out of the sky and struck the pastor dead on the spot! The parishioner stood with his mouth open, looking at his now dead partner laying nearly at his feet, and a HUGE voice boomed out of the sky; "Dam*, missed again."
The elderly lady Mrs. Kelly lost her faithful companion, a 15 year old dog..... Distraught, she called Father O'Banion to have her dog burried in the Catholic Cemetery. The good father told her it would be impossible to burry her dog there. She pleaded and pleaded to bury her old friend there, but Father O'Banion refused to burry her dog in the Catholic Cemetery. She called one last time and again he refused. The poor lady was at her wits ends and said to the father, "Well I guess I'll call the Lutheran Pastor down the road and see if I can have my dog burried in the Lutheran Cemetery for a $5,0000 donation." Father O'Banion then shouted "Mrs. Kelly why didn't you tell me your dog was Catholic" !!!

With my apologizes to Lukedrifter, On a flight getting ready to depart for Detroit ... Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. "What's the matter?" Jack asked. "I've been transferred to Detroit , there's crazy people there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate." Jack replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world." The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?" "Me?" said Jack. "I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."

At one point - this was also used in many of the promos - Mel exclaims "I can hear what women think!" to which I respond "So what, that's all any of us ever hear...."
There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband... for example... A wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can. Once she's done, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink. As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine. "Hi Darling", he says, "Your parents have come to visit us, so l let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say ‘hello’?”
