    The funniest jokes are those we tell on ourselves or the group we happen to to belong to.

    Since most people perceive me as a redneck then I feel I can tell this joke:

    Jesus is drinking in a bar.

    An Irish guy limps into the bar and, with great difficulty, hoists his bad leg over the barstool and asks the bartender for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looks down the bar and says, "Is that Jesus down there?" The bartender nods yes, and the Irishman tells him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey too.

    Next an ailing Italian with a hunched back comes into the bar. He shuffles up to the barstool and asks for a glass of chianti. He also looks down the bar and asks if that is Jesus sitting down there. The bartender nods, and the Italian says to give Him a glass of chianti, too.

    The third patron, a redneck, swaggers in and hollers, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one. Hey is that God's Boy down there?" The barkeep nods, and the redneck tells him to give Jesus a cold one, too.

    As Jesus gets up to leave, he walks over to the Irishman and touches him and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman feels the strength come back to his leg, and he gets up and dances a jig out the door.

    Jesus touches the Italian and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian feels his back straighten, and he raises his hands above his head and does a flip out the door.

    Jesus walks toward the redneck, and the redneck jumps back and yells, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability."

  • It's true, and I've seen it.

    Not to mention that most people can't shoot for beans, particularly when rattled..

    When my wife shot her first husband, even tho he told her the truck was coming back for the can, she was so upset she missed his femoral artery, and wounded him. When she's rattled or upset, or has had more than 1 pint of vodka, her aim goes to shit.

  • Lwm and the vegetable are at it again ...

    Well another lwm sock-puppet comes out of the woodwork and celery seems to think only those who respond cause a “poor Glenn”. Derbig Mooser is a misspelling of big boozer; but it is pure lwm.

    All I did was ask lwm to defend his assertion that a country initiating force against another country was not different than defending.

    And he goes all coward on us hiding again and making ridiculous arguments that are made of pure straw. What a sleezeball.

  • While we're pondering...

    Ponder if anyone you know has a rotten stink fibula bone?

    I've been pondering a LOT lately about that one.

    Care to fill me in?

    Was out earlier getting muddy in the garden, but it's still a little too cold for my hands to stay comfortable. They hurt when they get cold, so here I am, back for some more pondering.

  • Derbig

    I'm sure every move these men made was well thought out in advance. How dare you insinuate otherwise!

    I find your levity a little misplaced.. If you read the story, these guys were the very lowest of lowlifes, lowlifes with a badge and gun.

    These are the kind of guy that LWM wants to empower and give authority over others to.

    Which is why LWM rubs me the wrong way as much as he does..

    And I'm not even going talk about Tina.. My opinion is that vice cops are scum of the earth..

  • @Buckyl

    In fact, why don't you post as lwm

    You would know right away it was me, I'm not half as smart as LWM. But thanks, anyway.

    And if I could avoid blows to the head, marriage would be much easier. Never sell your wife's R60. She'll never let it go.

    Worst of all, I found out about her first husbands unfortunate collision with a few grams of lead only after I sold the bike.

    She's good with a bat, too. Softball starts today at four.

  • Pedinska? Watchout!

    Not every one has delicate fingers, and a sonorous voice. Hear the clatter of the boy barking bipolar bad blood-GENUS?

    The fbi don't need a recorder.

    Hear 'um holler and pain-grunt?

    Most of the day is spent picking off lice from each other's fur-hide.

    Sometimes they patch each others soiled undies. They do amuse us?

    The human discourse is so scary to them.

    'Um feed fear hate... they loathe the self!

    A pleasant walk with a friend is impossible.

    A wild-woods scare them. A beauteous garden is cursed.

    Anything elegant reminds them of their own personal eulogy.

    A euphonious voice becomes a rasping reminder of their own Deadness.

    Oh, so clever, so rascality, so hidden in a dark inner dead numb Psyche!

  • So would this thread be considered beyond EPU?

    It is quite interesting still, but way, way off in the weeds by now. Thistle maybe even.

  • @ All the mean people!

    I bet every one of the words in your post is just like getting hit with a baseball bat to LWM! He is a very, very sensitive guy (albeit a man's man withal) and besides, what did he ever do to you. And if that makes me a sockpuppet, just remember the old adage: if the shoe fits, wear it!

    I know we are talking about socks, not shoes.

  • bucky1

    Derbig ain't LWM, he knows too much about bikes and LWM has made some telling errors.

  • OT - are you really interested in selling those bikes?

    If yes, I'm really interested in the 500 cc Honda Shadow.

  • Even More OT

    The Spinster Aunt had a funeral to attend to, but finally weighed in on Spitzer:

    I don’t know anything about “Kristen”, except that as a prostituted woman — however “high class” or “expensive” — she is a de facto sub-human. As are the millions of other, more invisible prostituted women she so inaccurately represents in the popular imagination. “Kristen” may achieve a kind of kitschy, pop-culture cachet because of the high status and celebrity of the asshole who used her as a meatsock, and she might be able to parlay her position as a footnote to history into some kind of financial reward — such things are not unheard of — but the vast majority of what so many progressives like to call “sex workers” subsist much, much more precariously. Some merely teeter on the precipice of indenture and some are genuinely enslaved, but all are subject to violence, disease, imprisonment, marginalization, shame, and all the other degradations, large and small, that accrue with membership in the planet’s most despised class.
