A husband got home early from work. He grabbed a beer from the fridge, sat in his favorite recliner and put the tv on a game!
His wife got home late from work! She immediately started dinner, the laundry and vacuuming!
As she walked by, her husband grabbed her hand and asked, What are the chances of me getting laid tonight?
She said, Spell way!
He replied, "W-A-Y!"
She said, "You forgot the F"
He said, "There is No F-in-Way!"
His wife replied, "Exactly!"
A man gets a haircut, and the barber keeps asking, “So… how’s your mother-in-law these days?”
The man replies, “She’s fine.”
A few minutes later, the barber asks again, “And your mother-in-law? How’s she doing?”
The man starts getting irritated.
“I just told you she’s fine! Why do you keep asking about her?”
The barber grins and says, “Oh, it’s not because I care. Every time I mention your mother-in-law, your hair stands straight up, and that makes it much easier for me to cut.”
@lorahmoe A couple weeks ago I held the door open for a couple of older ladies and they were amazed.
It happens in this area, there are still good people out there.
If Elon Musk is genuinely willing to help fund legal action over the treatment of Henry Nowak, then many people will welcome it and I think it’s a genuine offer from someone who gives a shit and cares about justice and what happened to poor Henry.
An innocent 18-year-old was stabbed to death. His killer’s claims were rejected by a jury and he was convicted of murder.
Yet Henry was handcuffed and arrested as he lay dying.
Hampshire Police have since apologised and acknowledged that Henry was the victim.
The public deserves answers, transparency and accountability.
If legal action is what it takes to establish exactly what went wrong that night, then so be it.
Justice for Henry Nowak should not end with the murder conviction.
A Boss Asks his Employee,“Do you believe that there is Life After Death?”
Employee: “Certainly not Sir, there’s no proof of it”.
Boss: “Well, there is.... After you left office early yesterday to go to your cousin’s funeral, he came here looking for you.”
@VoicesofWW2 And has we not used the atom bomb, this would have been repeated 100,000 times in Japan. The had brainwashed their people that Americans were cannibals.
@VoicesofWW2 The madness of the Bushido code led to countless deaths .That Death Cult thankfully is no more. Next on the list should be radical Islam another murderous death cult that needs to be fully extinguished.
So sweet! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Have you ever stopped to wonder why you never actually see a dead penguin lying around on the ice in Antarctica? They must die somewhere, but where?
It turns out there's a perfectly good explanation — one that scientists have studied for years. Penguins, it is well established, are among the most ritualistic creatures on the planet. They mate for life, maintain deep and lasting bonds with their young, and live in highly organized communities with their own customs and traditions.
When a penguin passes away out on the ice, the remaining family members and close companions gather together. Using only their beaks and their small, stubby wings, they carefully dig a hole in the frozen ground, gently roll their departed companion in, and cover it back over.
Then the male penguins form a respectful circle around the grave, bow their heads, and sing together:
'Freeze a jolly good fellow... Freeze a jolly good fellow...'
You didn't honestly think I knew anything about penguins, did you?
So a German, an Englishman and an Irishman
were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when they were arrested by Saudi police...
The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so they are all sentenced to death!
However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to appeal their sentences down to 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "As it is my first wife's birthday today, she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."
The German was first in line; after thinking for a bit he said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but after only 10 lashes the whip had shredded the pillow. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying in pain.
The Englishman was next up. After watching the German in horror he asked, "Please tie two pillows to my back." This time it took 15 lashes, but once again the pillows were shredded, and the Englishman was led away bleeding and whimpering in pain.
The Irishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from the most beautiful part of the world I have ever seen. Because of this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Irishman replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes."
"Not only are you an honorable man from a beautiful island, you are also very brave," the Sheikh said with admiration. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish?"
And the Irishman said, "Tie the Englishman to my back."
A man brings his best buddy home for dinner unannounced at 7:30 p.m. after work. His wife begins screaming at him while his friend just sits and listens.
Wife: “My hair and makeup are not done, the house is a mess, the dishes are not done, I’m still in my pajamas, and I can’t be bothered with cooking tonight! Why the hell did you bring him home?!?”
Husband: “Because he’s thinking of getting married and I promised him a demo!”
“It’s Not Love” - Dokken
Does Dokken receive adequate recognition for their contributions to 80s metal music? Are they considered underrated or overrated?
A German shepherd, a Doberman and a cat died...
In heaven they faced God,who wanted to know what they believed in.
The German shepherd said "I believe in discipline, loyalty and training to my master".
"Good" said God, "You may sit on my right side".
The Doberman said, "I believe in love,care and protection of my master".
"Aha,you may sit on my left," said God.
Then God looked at the cat and said, "and what do you believe in?''
The cat replied, "I believe you are sitting in my seat".
A German walks into a bar and orders a beer...
The bartender tells him, "20 euros!"
The German is shocked, "20 euros? yesterday it was only 3 euros !"
"Well, today it is 20 euros."
"But why 20, damn it?"
Bar tender, "I'll explain it,
3 euros is beer,
3 to help Ukraine,
4 assistance to European countries who have imposed sanctions and are not members of the EU.
4 euros in aid to the UK, for successful implementation of sanctions against Russia.
Then 3 euros are sent to the Balkan countries as aid to buy furnace coal.
and finally, 3 euros for a gas subsidy for the EU and fund to help maintain sanctions!"
The German silently took out the money and gave the bartender 20 euros.
The bartender took them, entered in the cash register and gave him 3 euros back.
German in disbelief : "Wait, you said 20 euros, right? I gave you 20, why are you giving me back 3 euros?"
"Ahh... We have no beer!"
@MichelleMaxwell@ChrisNoblett Good tip on taping and keeping the tick!
Never thought of doing that!
I've had quite a few in my lifetime, always pull them off and soak the area with alcohol.
I've been lucky I guess!
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
