Friday humour - October 15, 2010
From Burnout at Bluehaze.
This week sees the rather remarkable rescue of the Chilean Miners, who
spent between 69 & 70 days 600 odd meters below ground. This achievement
overseen by the Chilean President involved specialist drillers from
Australia and the
US. Also involved were Brant Webb & Todd Russell who survived the
Beaconsfield Mine disaster amongst others....
The Chilean Ambassador reminded us on the ABC on Wednesday of the heartfelt
thanks of his countrymen by the President when he thanked Australia for
being the first country to offer assistance to Chile.
Heads up Australia.

Subject: BED BUG EPIDEMIC
Bed bugs are epidemic . . .
Hi All:
A bit of information that you might like to know about. We have friends
here in our community and one of their sons is an entomologist (insect
expert), and has been telling them that there is an epidemic of bed bugs
now occuring in America. Recently I have heard on the news that several
stores in NYC have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a
complete mall in New Jersey.
He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes
from companies outside of America, (sad but true), even the most
expensive stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc. The
bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not consider
them a problem.
He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even underware and socks,
sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house and put them in
your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes. The heat will kill them and
their eggs. DO NOT PURCHASE CLOTHES AND HANG THEM IN THE CLOSET FIRST.
It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the
outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S. They still
get shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of
scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the reason why so many
stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut down in NYC and
other places. All you need is to bring one item into the house that has
bugs or eggs and you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them.
He travels all over the country as an advisor to many of these stores, as
prevention and after they have the problem.
Send this information on to those on your e-mail list so that this good
prevention information gets around quickly.

Subject: Maria had just got married
Maria had just got married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a
virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was very
nervous.
Her mother reassured her;
'Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take care of
you.
Meanwhile, I'll be making pasta.'
So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed
his hairy chest. Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, 'Mama, Mama,
Tony's got a big hairy chest.'
'Don't worry, Maria,' says the mother, 'all good men have hairy chests.
Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you.'
So, up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his
pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother.
'Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!'
'Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs
and he'll take good care of you.'
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on
his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran
downstairs. 'Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!'
'Stay here and stir the pasta.'

Subject: the good and the bad
Once upon a time there were two brothers. One brother was very
miscschievous,
always getting into trouble. The other brother, however, was very good. He
was always kind to animals, helped elderly neighbors, and led an exemplary
life......
As time went on, the brothers stayed in touch but were never close. The
evil brother became aheavy drinker and a womanizer. The other brother was
a devoted husband and father and supported many charities
One day the evil brother died. Then, after a few years, the good brother
passed away. He went to heaven and was rewarded with a happy after life.
One day he went to God and asked, "Where is my brother? He died before me,
but I have not seen him here in heaven.."
God replied, "As you know, your brother led an evil life, so he is not
spending eternity here in heaven. He has been sent elsewhere."
"I'm sorry to hear that", the good brother replied. "But I do miss him and
wish I could see him again.
"You can see him if you wish", God said, "I will give you power to gaze
into hell."
So the power was granted and the good brother gazed into hell. Before long
he saw his brother sitting on a bench. In one arm he held a keg of beer,
and in the other he cradled a gorgeous young blonde.
The good brother turned to God and said, "I can't believe what I'm seeing.
I have found my brother, and he has a keg of beer in one arm and a
beautifulwoman in the other. Surely, hell can not be that bad."
God explained. "Things are not always as they seem, my son. The keg has a
hole in it. The blonde doesn't."

Subject: Wal-Mart vs the Morons (us)
YOU HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN A FAIR WAY TO THE START OF THIS ONE BUT IT IS VERY
GOOD
Man this is so worth sharing..........Please keep it going if possible and
even if you have already seen it before please read it again before you
delete it.......Thanks all
Food for thought
Wal-Mart vs. The Morons
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th)
than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco +
K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private
employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep
in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super
Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at
Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work
for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix
the economy.
This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans,
EVERYONE!!
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of theLegislature,
It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:
a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years
to get it right and it is broke.
b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get
it right and it is broken.
c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it
right and it is broke.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right;
$1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the
poor" and they only want more.
e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years
to get it right and they are broke.
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it
right and it is broke.
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence
on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24
billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years
to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our
throats while overspending our tax dollars.
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ??
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WAL
MART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???
WAL MART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.......WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST
ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?
Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end up
in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything)
and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.

Chances are many of you've never used one, but all this month
some of the prettiest outhouses in Texas are on display in downtown
San Antonio .
The "Thunderbox Road" art exhibit is going on at the Menger Hotel.
Here are 12 full-sized "Thunderboxes" (or outhouses) painted and decorated
in true Texas style.
Sonja Howle with the "Thunderbox Road" exhibit says, "It was
created to pay tribute and showcase the talent we have in the Hill Country
artists."
In February, the exhibit will be at the San Antonio stock Show and
Rodeo. After their tour, the outhouses will be auctioned off to benefit
medical research and the Western Art Museum in Kerrville .

"Pussy and bitch. I asked Mom, but I don't think she told me the right

Dad said: "Son, never ask your mother about these things, ask me instead.
Let me explain it like this." He pulled a Playboy from his workbench,
turned to the centerfold, drew a circle around the pubic area and said:
"Son,
everything inside the circle is pussy."
"Okay, Dad. Then what's a bitch?"
Dad replied: "Everything outside the circle."

Subject: The Iraqi footballer
Eddie McGuire flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play Aussie rules and
is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to Collingwood
He's signed to a one-year contract and the kid joins the team for the
pre-season.
Two weeks later the magpies are down by 6 goals to Carlton with only 10
minutes left.
The coach gives the young Iraqi the nod and he goes in. The kid is a
sensation - kicks 7 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game for the magpies!
The fans are thrilled, the players and coaches are delighted, and the media
are in love with the new star.
When the player comes off the ground he phones his mum to tell her about
his first day of AFL.
'Hello mum, guess what?' he says. 'I played for 10 minutes today, we were 6
goals down, but I kicked 7 goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans,
the media...
'Wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day. Your father got
shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed and beaten,
and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were
having such great time.'
The young Iraqi is very upset. 'What can I say mum, I'm so sorry.'
'Sorry? You're sorry?' says his mum, 'It's your bloody fault we moved to
Collingwood in the first place!'
