"Just Sayin'" !!!!
I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's
remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone?
That's common sense leaving your body.
I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated"
gets thrown around in the courtroom.
I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row!
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.
I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers, if you
find one, what's your plan?

Wild gorilla encounter - this is amazing
A tourist camp in Africa -- You can tell that the guy was stunned by his
experience.
This is a great video of the Silverback Gorilla and family coming into camp
for a visit. Quite an unusual experience.
Not sure I could have stayed that calm. It is advisable to always carry a
change of underpants when on safari.

I am wondering what the fire department might have called him.
A student has reportedly had to be rescued after getting stuck inside a
giant stone vagina. The exchange student from America is believed to have
climbed inside the marble sculpture in Tubingen, Germany, on Friday
afternoon, for a dare. However, once inside he found he was stuck. Five
emergency vehicles and 22 firemen are believed to have eventually eased the
unnamed man out but not before someone took a picture and posted it on
social media site Imgur. The man, whose legs got wedged at the bottom of the
art installation, was eventually freed and was said to be 'really
embarrassed'.Erick Guzman, who took the images and posted them online, said:
'I was there!!! He just wanted to take a funny picture.'The fire department
was not really amused, and he was really embarrassed.' The sculpture is
by a Peruvian artist called Fernando de la jara and has been at the Tubingen
University in the German town for the last 13 years in the Institute for
Microbiology. The sculpture is called Pi-Chacan, which is said to mean 'love
making' in Peruvian-Indian.

How did it happen?
How did it happen?" the doctor asked the middle-aged farmhand as he set the
man's broken leg.
"Well doc, 25 years ago..."
"Never mind the past! Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."
"Like I was saying... 25 years ago when I first started working on the farm,
that night right after I'd gone to bed the farmer's beautiful
daughter came into my room. She asked me if there was anything I wanted
I said "No everything is fine."
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"I'm sure" I said.
"Isn't there anything I can do for you?" she wanted to know.
"I reckon not" I replied.
"Excuse me" said the doctor, "What the hell does this story have to do with
your broken leg?"
"Well, this morning" the farmhand explained "when it dawned on me what she
meant I fell off the roof!"

A Clean Joke?
It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but....
here is one:
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree
begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is
that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is
a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a
son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece
of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

The Will
Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near. His nurse, his wife, his daughter and two sons are with him.
So, he says to them:
"Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses."
"Sybil, you take the apartments over in the east end."
"Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City Centre."
"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the river."
The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Doug slips away, she says, "Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been such a hard-working
man to have acc*mulated all this property".
Sarah replies, "Property? .... the as*hole had a paper run!"

THE WORLDS UNSOLD CARSTOCKPILE
Houston...We have a problem!...Nobody is buying brand new cars anymore!
Well they are, but not on the scale they once were. Millions of brand new
unsold carsare just sitting redundant on runways and car parks around
the world. There, they stay, slowly deteriorating without being
maintained.
Below is an image of a massive car park at Swindon, United Kingdom,
with thousands upon thousands of unsold cars just sitting there with not a buyer
in sight.The car manufacturershave to buy more and more land just to
park their cars as they perpetually roll off the production line.
There is proof that the worlds recession is still biting and wont let go.
All around the world there are huge stockpiles of unsold cars and they are
being added to every day. They have run out of space to park all of
these brand new unsold cars and are having to buy acres and acres of land to
store them.
NOTE:
The images on this webpage showing all of these unsold cars are
just a very small portion of those around the world. There are
literally thousands of these "car parks" rammed full of unsold cars in
practically every country on the planet. Just in case you were
wondering, these images have not beenPhotoshopped, they are the real deal!
Its hard tobelieve that there are so many unsold cars in the world but its
true. The worsepart is that the amount of unsold cars keeps on getting bigger
every day.
It would be fair to say that it is becoming a mechanical epidemic of epic
proportions. If anybody from outer space is reading this webpage, we
here on Earth have too many cars, why not come and buy a few hundred
thousand of them for your own planet! (sorry but this is all I can think of)
Below is shown just a few of the 57,000 cars (and growing) that await delivery
from their home in the Port of Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
The car industry would never sell these cars at massive reductions in their
prices to get rid of them, no they still want every buck. If they
were to price these cars for a couple of thousand they would sell them.
However, nobody would then buy any expensive cars and then they would end up
being unsold. Its quite a pickle we have gotten ourselves into.
Below is shown an image of the Nissantest track. Only it is no longer being
used, reason...there are too many unsold cars parked up on it! The
amount of cars keeps on piling up on it until its overflowing. Nissan
then acquires more land to park up the cars, as they continue to come
off the production line.
The car industry cannot stop making new cars because they would have
to close their factories and lay off tens of thousands of employees.
This would further add to the recession. Also the domino effect would
be catastrophic as steel manufactures would not sell their steel. All
the tens of thousands of places where car components are made would also be
effected, indeed the world could come to a grinding halt.
Below is shown just a small area of a gigantic car park in Spain where
tens of thousands of cars just sit and sunbathe all day.
Tens of thousands of cars are still being made every week but hardly
any of them are being sold. Nearly every household in developed
countries already has a car or even two or three cars parked up on their
driveway as it is.
Below is an image of thousands upon thousands of unsold cars parked up
on a runway near St Petersburg in Russia. They are all imported
from Europe, they are all then parked up and they are all then left to rot.
Consequently, the airport is now unusable for its original purpose.
The cycle of buying, using, buying using has been broken, it is now
just a case of "using" with no buying. Below is an image of thousands
of unsold cars parked up on an disused runway at Upper Heyford airbase
near Bicester in Oxfordshire. They are seriously running out of space to store
these cars.
It is a sorry state of affairs and there is no answer to it, solutions don't exist.
So the cars just keep on being manufactured and keep
on adding to the millions of unsold cars already sitting redundant around the
world=2E
As it is, there are more cars than there are people on the planet with an
estimated 10 billion roadworthy cars in the world today. We
literally cannot make enough of them. Below are seen just a few of the
thousands of Citroen's parked up at Corby in England. They are being added to
daily, imported from France but with nowhere else to go once they arrive.
So there they sit, brand spanking new cars, all with a couple of miles
on the clock that was consummate with them being driven to their car
parks. Manufacturing more cars than can be sold is against all logic, logistics and
economics but it continues day after day, week after week, month
after month, year in year out.
Below, all nice and shiny but with nowhere to go. Red and white and
black and silver, purple, pink and blue, all the colors of the rainbow
and be they all brand new. Indeed all the colors of the rainbow are down
there on those cars, making pretty mosaics, montages of color and still
life. Maybe that is all they will now ever be, surreal urban art of the techno
production age. Magnificent metal boxes, wasting space and saving grace,
all sitting still, because its business at mill.
All around the world these cars just keep on piling up, there is no end in sight.
The economy shouts out quite loud that nobody has the
money anymore to spend on anew car. The reason being that they are making
their "old" cars go on a lot longer. But we cannot stop making them, soon we will
run out of space to park them. We are nearly running out of space
to drive them that's for sure!
Below the cars mount up in the port of Valencia in Spain. They will
not be exported as there is nowhere for them to go, so they just sit
and rot in their colorful droves.
Gone are the days when the family would have a new car every year, they are now
keeping what they have got. It may be fair to say that some families still get a
new car every year but its the majority that now
do not. The results are in these images, hundreds of thousands if not
millions of cars around the world are driven from their factories, parked up
and left.
Could we say that these cars have been left to rot! Maybe, as these cars will
certainly rot if they are not bought, driven and cared for.
It does not look like they will be sold any day soon, many of them have
been standing for over 12 months or even longer and this is detrimental to
the car.
Below, as far as the eye can see, right into the background, cars, cars and more cars.
But what's beyond the horizon? Have a guess...Yes that's right...even more cars!
All brand new but with no homes to go to. Do you think they will ever start giving them
away, that may be the only radical solution. Who knows, you could soon be getting a
free car with every packet of cornflakes..
When a car is left standing idle, all the oil sinks to the bottom of the sump,
and then corrosion begins to set in on all the internal
engine parts where the oil has drained away. Cold corrosion is when
condensation builds up in the cylinders and rust forms in the bores. The engines
would then start to seize and would need to be professionally freed before
they could be started. Also the tires start to lose air and the batteries
start to go flat, indeed the detrimental list goes on and on.
So the longer they sit there the worse it slowly becomes for them. What is the answer
to this? Well they need to be sold and that just isn't happening.
The epidemic is not imporving, it is getting worse.
Car manufactureres are constantly coming out with new models with the latest
technology in them. Hence prospective buyers of, for example, a new Citroen
Xsara Picasso want the latest model, not last years model. Hence all the
unsold Citroen Xsara Picasso cars from the previous year will now have
even lesser chance of being sold.
The problems then just keep on mounting up. In the end, the unsold
cars that are say 2 years old will have no alternative but to be
either crushed up, dismantled and/or their parts recycled.
Some car manufacturers moved their production over to China, General
Motors and Cadillac are examples of this. They are then shipped over in containers
and unloaded at ports. However they are now being told to put a big halt in their
import into the U.S.A. as they just can't sell them
in the quantities they would desire. Consequently Chinese car parks are
now filling up with brand new American cars. Well nobody in China can
afford them on their meagre pittance wages, so there they will stay until
our economy improves...which it might do in a few generations.
