Friday Funny

Ever wondered how these people survive?

ONE: Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

TWO: I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.

THREE: A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

FOUR: I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

FIVE: Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

SIX: I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

SEVEN: My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

EIGHT: Police in Radnor , Pa , interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

NINE: A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency room!

Life is tough.

It's tougher if you're stupid!

Sex VS. Clothes--Which wins out?


For most women, the choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple —they go for the clothes. Women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds, this according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S.cities. Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than give up sex for a month. Nearly half of the women, or 48 percent, taking part in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said their favorite article of clothing was more reliable than their man in giving them confidence and making them feel sexy. “Some people say clothes make the man, but the right clothes can even replace him,” fashion designer,stylist and TV personality Carson Kressley from the reality TV show“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” saidi n a statement accompanying the poll.

Sad Day For Severance, CO

R.I.P. Bruce's Bar

Bruce's Bar began offering Rocky Mountain Oysters in the late 1950s. Back then, Ruth told patrons they came from the nearby Poudre River. However, the bar's famed appetizer wasn't shellfish at all. Instead, the "oysters" were breaded and deep-fried bull testicles purchased from local meatpacking plants. Also known as cowboy caviar, mountain tendergroins, prairie oysters and swinging beef, these delicacies are considered by some to be an aphrodisiac. To others, they're merely a tasty treat or a gastronomical adventure. Tourists from all over the world -- including Julia Roberts, John Elway, John Wayne, Rob Zombie and President George W. Bush -- came to Bruce's Bar to taste these western tidbits. Rocky Mountain Oysters became so popular that Ruth had to take out contracts with cattle ranchers in New Zealand and Costa Rica to produce the two tons of appetizers he sold on a monthly basis.
***All C.S.U. students put this at the top of their list as a must visit bar. I am so sorry to see an "old school" restaurant of this caliber close. I don't know where you can find these tasty treats anymore. I do remember that it was mandatory to follow this morsel with a beer. Trust me, I know.

Denver In 1913

If anyone cares news:

The winter that Denver is having has been compared to the winter of 1913. Where I reside, we have registered close to 50 inches of snow. This upcoming week-end is our 7th week-end storm since Dec. 20th. Needless to say I'm ready for spring!

Notice the sign that says "It's a privilege to live in Colorado"! Most the time I agree, but as I'm driving around the pot holes and over the bumpy icy roads I wonder?!




















R.I.P. Barbaro

We will miss you Barbaro..

Here’s a final resting poem for you Barbaro, And for all, who have lost their furry loved ones.

“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....” --Author Unknown


I don’t know why this story has struck such a cord with my heart. I am not even a racing fan. But I have followed this story since Day 1. My heart breaks for the owners, the trainer, the jockey, all the Barbaro fans and for this magnificent animal.
