Quote of the Day

“I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.” Zsa Zsa Gabor

Anagram of the Day

Mel Gibson – Big Melons

Joke of the Day

Rick O’Malley raised his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of my life between the legs of my wife!” And he took home the top prize for the best toast of the night at the pub. In bed later that night, he told his wife, “Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night.” She said, “What was your toast?” So, he told her, “Here’s to spending the rest of my life sitting in church beside my wife.” “Oh,” she said, “that is very nice, dear.” The next day, Mary ran into one of Patrick’s drinking partners in the street. Mischievously, the man said, “Did you hear about your husband winning a prize in the pub the other night for a toast about you, Mary?” She replied, “Yes and I was a bit surprised. Up until now, he’s only been down there twice. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.”

Limerick of the Day

There was a young fellow in Maine

Who courted a girl all in vain.

She cussed when he kissed her

So, he slept with her sister.

Again and again and again!

LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!

10/28/2023 “A New Approach”   3 comments

I’ve been blogging now for more than fourteen years, and I’ve tried to be as interesting as possible as I spread as much useless information that I could find to as many readers as possible. Initially I spent my first four years writing a political blog that was interesting, but all of the lame and badly written death threats from either side of the aisle convinced that I was wasting my time. Since the changeover to a more easy-going and friendly blog, blogging has returned to being fun. Now it’s time for another sidestep from my normal routine to an even friendlier and more fun format. “HUMOR”. It’s probably one of the few areas that almost everyone can enjoy whether it’s from jokes (both clean or dirty), limericks (both clean or dirty), humorous trivia, or any other means to help you grin, smile, laugh, and lighten your day. I’ll give it a go for the remainder of this year with the hope it will keep you coming back for more.

“Joke of the Day”

A farmer sent his 15-year-old son into town and, as a birthday present, handed him a duck. “See if you can get a girl in exchange for this,” he said. The lad met a prostitute along the way and said, “It’s my birthday and all I’ve got is this duck. Would you be willing to fuck? “Sure,” she said, “I’m sentimental about birthdays. And besides, I’ve never owned a duck.” Afterwards, she said, “Do you know for a 15-year-old boy, you’re quite a good lay. If you’d like to do it again, I’ll give you back your duck.” “Sure,” said the boy. When his pleasurable work was through, he left the village to return home. While he was crossing the main street in the village, the duck suddenly flew out of his hands and was hit by a passing beer truck. The driver of the truck felt so sorry for the boy and gave him two dollars. When he got home, his father asked, “How did you make out?” The son said, “I got a duck, a fuck, a duck for a fuck, and two dollars for a duck.”

In keeping with the new format here is the “Limerick of the Day” which should pay homage to a former lecherous President and his BFF:

Said a President prone to give pecks,

To those areas other than necks.

“Although this is sultry,

It is not adultery,

I’m not even sure if it’s sex!”

10/26/2023 ⭐⭐Retro Hollywood Trivia⭐⭐   Leave a comment

Many years ago, I started this blog, and I chose its name very carefully. I fully intended then and still continue now to supply all of you with as much useless information as I can possibly find. Today I’d like to test the trivia knowledge of all of you fans of celebrities and Hollywood. This information was gleaned from a long-lost trivia book I stumbled upon in an old trunk I’ve had in storage for years. The first printing of this book was in February of 1975 at a total cost per copy of $1.25. I consider myself a trivia aficionado but the answers to these retro-Hollywood questions left me clueless. Maybe you’ll have more luck.

  • Name one of the two actresses who starred as the singing and dancing Dolly Sisters in the 1945 movie of that title? Betty Grabel was Jenny and June Haver was Rosie
  • What comedian appears in “Whistling in Brooklyn,” “The Fuller Brush Man,” and “Susan Slept Here”? Red Skelton
  • What does W. C. Fields give away in the comedy film “The Pharmacist”? Large vases.

10/24/2023 “An Unexamined Life #12”   Leave a comment

Socrates

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

I’m not sure you’ve noticed but periodically over the last 18 months I’ve posted a series of questions to help people examine their lives. Some of the responses from readers were excellent and a few others not so much. I took some time off from posting these questions due to a recent injury, but I would like to continue today with ten additional questions, Installment #12. If you find them interesting, you might want to check my archives for the first eleven installments. I last posted on this subject on 5/2/23. Answer the questions honestly with your spouse and/or partner. It will definitely make for interesting conversations and discussions. Here we go . . .

  • How old were you when you first had sexual intercourse?
  • If you are leading 100 people, whose lives are in danger, and you must choose between two courses of action. One would save only 90 people; the other would have a 50% chance of saving everyone but were it to fail everyone would die. Which would you choose?
  • If you went to a movie with a friend and it was lousy, would you leave?
  • For $1 million would you be willing to never again see or talk to your best friend?
  • What do you like best about your life? least?

*****

  • Have you ever disliked someone for being lucky or more successful than you?
  • A cave-in occurs while you and a stranger are in a concrete room deep in a mineshaft. Before the phone goes dead, you learn the entire mine is sealed and the air hole being drilled will not reach you for 30 hours. If you both take sleeping pills from the medicine chest, the oxygen will last for only 20 hours. Both of you can’t survive; alone, one of you might. After you both realize this, the stranger takes several sleeping pills, says that it is in God’s hands, and falls asleep. You have a pistol; what do you do?
  • When you are given a compliment do you usually acknowledge it or suggest that you really do not deserve it?
  • What sorts of things would you do if you could be as outgoing and uninhibited as you wish? Do you usually initiate friendships or wait to be approached?
  • If you decided to do something and your friends strongly advise you not to, could you do it anyway?

*****

Another few installments will follow, and they will finish this series. I know how much I’ve enjoyed the discussions that they’ve created with my better-half, and I hope you give them a try.

10/21/2023 💥💥Sense of Humor Alert”💥💥   Leave a comment

I have always been proud of my sense of humor, and I look for that trait in people I associate with. It was always one of the first things I looked for when dating as well and it never failed me. I think in the future this blog will contain much more humor meaning of course a bit of “off color” funniness. Humor that isn’t tweaked by double entendres is “boring funny” and I find that totally unacceptable. I fully intend to load this blog with non-boring humor as often as possible starting today. Here goes nothing . . .

  • A man walks into a bar and asks for a beer. After drinking it, he looks into his shirt pocket and then asks for second beer. After drinking that one he again looks in his shirt pocket and asks for a third beer. This happens about seven more times before the bartender finally asks him, “Why do you keep looking in your pocket?” “The man replies, I have a picture of my wife in there and when she starts looking good enough, I’ll be heading on home.”
  • Little Johnny is walking past his parents’ bedroom in the middle of the night in search of a glass of water. Hearing a lot of moaning and thumping, he peeks in and catches his folks in the act. Before dad can even react, little Johnny exclaims, “Oh boy! Horsey ride! Daddy, can I ride on your back?” Daddy, relieved that Johnny’s not asking more uncomfortable questions, and seeing the opportunity not to break his stride, he agrees. Johnny hops on and daddy starts going to town. Pretty soon mommy starts moaning and gasping. Johnny cries out loudly, “Hang on tight, Daddy! This is the part where me and the milkman usually get bucked off!”
  • Goldie was sitting on a beach in Florida, attempting to strike up a conversation with the attractive gentleman reading on the blanket next to her. “Hello, sir,” she said. “Do you like movies?” “Yes, I do, “he responded, then returned to his book. Goldie persisted. “Do you like gardening?” The man again looked up from his book. “Yes, I do,” he said politely before returning to his reading. Undaunted, Goldie asked, “Do you like pussycats?” With that, the man dropped his book and pounced on Goldie, ravaging her as she’d never been ravaged before. As the cloud of sand began to settle, Goldie dragged herself to a sitting position and panted, “How did you know that was what I wanted?” The man thought for moment and replied, “How did you know my name was Katz.?”

While many of my postings contain humor, I also feel required to add a few additional lines of beautiful poetry better known as a limerick. I always prefer ones that are a bit off-color whenever possible.

There was a young fellow of Kent

Whose prick was so long that it bent,

So, to save himself trouble

He put it in double,

And instead of coming he went.

LAUGH, YOU’LL FEEL BETTER!

10/19/2023 “New Years Resolution Update”   Leave a comment

I’ve had something unusual happen this year. It appears because of my fractured ankle and my four months rehabilitation that I have a real shot at accomplishing most of my New Year’s resolutions. Now that we’re into October we’re within two months of year-end and I thought a review would be in order. Let’s take a quick look.

  • Read 8.33 books a month (That’s 100 books for all of you math majors). “COMPLETE” I’ve absolutely destroyed this one. Those four months of sitting on my ass while recuperating from my broken ankle made this one easy.
  • Keep the number of F-Bombs to less than a hundred a week. (I’m dreaming on this one.) “FAIL” I only missed the yearly total by a few thousand.
  • Spend less than $50.00 a week at Dunkin. (That’s just for my better-half. They’re too expensive for me.) “COMPLETE” They’ve become as bad as Starbucks and I’m finally free from all of their influences.
  • Drink less alcohol than last year but more next year. (I’m dreaming!) “MISERABLE FAILURE” No comment is necessary.
  • Visit only the classiest porn sites. (No more than 10 per week unless provoked) “ANOTHER MISERABLE FAILURE” Again, no comment.

💥💥💥

  • No naked dancing near the picture window in the living room. (We have nervous neighbors!) “COMPLETE” Due to my fractured ankle my dancing this year has been severely limited.
  • Try not to argue with my better-half too much. (The operative word here is to TRY.) “MISERABLE FAILURE” There are times when these resolutions are impossible. This is one of those times.
  • Teach the grandsons no more than five new swear words. (And maybe learn one or two new ones from them.) “COMPLETE” Daycare and school have saved me on this one. Playground education has officially begun. and they’re learning a brand-new vocabulary but not from me.
  • Try to be more polite to all of the doctors that have been manhandling me for years. “COMPLETE” I’ve seen much less of them this year which makes them miss me all the more.
  • Stay vertical. “COMPLETE” A term I’ve learned to really appreciate.

FINAL TALLY – 6 complete out of 10

MY BEST YEAR EVER!

10/17/2023 “AMERICAN HISTORY”   Leave a comment

I’ve made mention many times that I’m a lover of history. Being an American I’m doubly interested in the history of this country and all of the good things and bad things that it’s done in order to exist in its present form. Today’s post will be a few facts of American history that I am reasonably sure not many of you are aware of. Let’s see if I can surprise you a little.

  • The name “United States of America” was coined by a man who lived the last years of his life in disrepute and who’s bodily remains eventually were lost. I’m talking about Thomas Payne. Payne lived his first 37 years in London, mostly in poverty, and only a fluke meeting in London with Benjamin Franklin encouraged his move to America. Later, in 1776, he wrote his popular and famous revolutionary tract, Common Sense.
  • Robert R. Livingston and James Munroe sailed to Paris for the sole purpose of buying a small piece of French held land in the West near New Orleans and for expanding waterway traffic. They ended up buying half a billion acres of wilderness called the Louisiana Purchase.

  • In the United States only 80 miles separate the highest point of land in the lower forty-eight states and the lowest point. Mount Whitney on the eastern border of Sequoia National Park in California is 14,496 feet high, and a pool called Badwater in Death Valley is 280 feet below sea level.
  • Morocco was the first country to recognize the United States of America (1789).
  • Beginning in 1882, immigrants had to pay to enter the United States. A tax of $.50 per person was imposed that year; it was increased to two dollars in 1903 and then again to four dollars in 1907.

  • The official manual of the Internal Revenue Service of the United States and is an agglomeration of 38,000 pages. It has been appropriately described as ” the world’s most confusing publication.”
  • When the United States was just 60 years old in 1836, Narciso Prentiss Whitman and Eliza Heart Spalding were perhaps the first women to cross the continent. They reached Oregon that year in a party organized by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missionaries. The success of the expedition stimulated emigration to the territories in the Northwest.
  • The United States Automobile Association was formed in 1905 for the express purpose of providing “scouts” who could warn motorists of hidden “police traps.”
  • The population of New Hampshire increased only 8.3% between the start of the War of Independence and the 1970 census. In the same 194 years, the total population of the original 13 states, which included New Hampshire, increased from 2,616,000 (estimated) to just under 75 million – a gain of 2767%.
  • The first automobile to cross the United States took 52 days in 1903, to go from San Francisco to New York.

IT’S A MIRACLE WE’VE LASTED THIS LONG

10/14/2023 “More Pearls”   Leave a comment

Let’s start this post with a statement of obvious fact:

“Organic gardening is a lot of shit.”

Now we can move on to some humor for all of you card playing fanatics out there:

Mr. Jones had come home from a hard day of work and was appalled when his wife reminded him that they had arranged to visit a friend’s house for dinner and bridge. “I’m too tired to budge”, he protested. “It can’t be helped”, said Mrs. Jones, her eyes turning dangerous. So, Jones was forced to shower, change clothes, and drag himself off to the friend’s house. In the bridge game he was paired off with the hostess and then proceeded to play one lousy game after another, so that he and the hostess lost steadily. Finally, he got up and muttered, “I’ve got to go to the bathroom.” He didn’t bother to close the door of the bathroom, and the sound of water trickling into water was clear and distinct. Mrs. Jones, totally embarrassed said, “Please excuse my husband. He’s had a very hard day.” The hostess then said, “No need for excuses. I don’t mind. This is the first moment since we started playing bridge tonight that I knew what he had in his hand.”

Since I love history, here is an interesting backstory I thought I’d share with you:

George IV of Great Britain hated his wife with growing intensity, and she returned it with interest. There were prolonged and rather disgusting divorce proceedings between them, and the entire British nation took an emotional part in it. When Napoleon died at St. Helena in 1821, the news was immediately brought to George IV’s attention. “Our greatest enemy is dead”, he was told. “Oh, is she?”, smiled George.

And of course, here is the expected and gratuitous limerick:

I met a lewd nude in Bermuda,

Who thought she was shrewd, but I was shrewder.

She thought it quite crude

To be wooed in the nude.

I was cruder, pursued her, and eventually screwed’er

YOU MUST BE FEELING SMARTER ALREADY

10/12/2023 💥💥Crazy Kidz Limericks💥💥   Leave a comment

I tend to look for publications containing limericks and I like them funny, silly, bawdy, and outright outrageous. Many of my readers constantly complain that my selections are too tame. They want lots of sexual content and even go so far as to complain about my selections of children’s limericks. I enjoy posting the more innocent lyrics from kids with the hope they will someday grow up and write some truly memorable and bawdy poetry. Someone has to assist the next generation in their endeavors, and I have gladly volunteered. Here are a few you can sample . . .

🐸🐸🐸

A frog drove her car down the road.

Hearing one of her tires explode,

The frog didn’t panic,

She called her mechanic,

And the next thing you know she was toad.

🛌🏻🛌🏻🛌🏻

One evening a boy named Carmelo.

Dreamt he ate an enormous marshmallow.

He woke up at dawn,

And his pillow was gone.

When he screamed, he saw feathers, poor fellow.

🐽🐽🐽

An eye whispered once to an ear,

With a hint of disdain and a sneer.

As its eyebrow arose,

It glanced down at the nose

And said, “Something sure smells around here.”

🏫🏫🏫

Said little first-grader Pam Plunkett,

The past tense of “shrink it” is “shrunk it”.

Told, yes, that is true!

Just who taught that to you?

She said, “I’m not really sure, I just thunk it.”

10/10/2023 “Retro Raunch”   1 comment

Once again, it’s time for a small collection of somewhat strange riddles from my favorite raunchy decade the 1980’s. That decade wasn’t near as bad as the 1960’s but it’s a damn close second for raunchiness. Enjoy this short retro trip down mammary lane . . .

  • Why is a virgin like a balloon? One prick and it’s all over!
  • Why was the bisexual prizefighter undefeated? He could lick anyone!
  • Why do girls fart after they pee? They can’t shake it, so they blow it dry!
  • How can you tell if Dolly Parton forgot to wear her bra? There are no wrinkles in her face!
  • What did Adam say when he woke up and was missing a rib? “Something smells fishy around here!”

  • What does the Lone Ranger do in the men’s room after a big meal? Take a dump, take a dump, take a dump dump dump!
  • What do you call oral sex in a national park? Old faceful!
  • What’s a prophylactic? A planned parent hood!
  • What’s the definition of trust? Two cannibals having oral sex!
  • How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Four. One to screw it in, and three to discuss how it’s so much more gratifying than with a man!
***CARDI EFFING B***

OMG AND YIKES!
