09/03/2024 “I LUV SARCASM”   Leave a comment

As a human being we all have likes and dislikes. I like computers, science fiction, books and especially really well-done sarcasm. I’ve posted many times about sarcasm, and I’ve listed all of the reasons why I’ve used it over the years and how it has benefited my life. I’m going to share with you some examples of sarcasm which might help clarify things and possibly help you to better understand it. Here we go . . .

  • ENLIGHTENMENT is a deeper, more transcendent understanding of life that usually hits about a quarter of a second before you die.
  • EQUALITY is the noble principle of fairness and equal representation for all, as evidenced on television by the fact that Hispanic people get to play all the domestics, African Americans get to play all the gang bangers, and Asians get to play all the convenience store owners.
  • EXECUTIVE is a distinction given to certain bathrooms, denoting that those allowed into them are, unlike the rest of us, able to produce defecation that smells like fragrant fields of flowers.
  • EXTREME is often used as a preface to imply that everything from your energy bar to your facial tissue is that much more kick-ass.
  • FAMILY is a group of people you spend eighteen years having dinner with every night before realizing you have plenty of better things to do.

  • FEMALE is a person whose ability to generate human life pisses men off to such an extent that they decided to pay them anywhere from 5-25% less for doing the same job they do.
  • INTIMIDATION is using fear to browbeat or coerce. A tactic often employed by Marine boot camp drill instructors, Mafia enforcers, and people trying to sell you a quality preowned Kia.
  • LEATHER is a type of material that when worn as a jacket helps even a bad-ass biker look like a member of the Village People.
  • SOCIAL NETWORKING is a way of imagining that you still have social skills and can network even though you are surgically attached to your computer and never leave your house.
  • SHAME is the realization that nobody else thinks the thing you were caught doing was as wholesome as you thought it was.

There you have it, a few prime examples of what sarcasm really is. Here’s a challenge for you, write a paragraph full of sarcasm and then read and explain it to the person who you are in a relationship with. It will undoubtably be a real learning experience for you both.

Here’s something I’m often called but trust me, it isn’t Sarcasm.

GEEK

08/29/2024 💥💥SPORTS LIMERICK ALERT💥💥   Leave a comment

I’m not what anyone would consider a rabid sports fan. I love the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I still can’t sit for three hours to watch a game filled with constant annoying commercials. I now rely on Facebook to supply me with recaps on Monday morning. I was for many years a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates but that eventually faded away due to an organization afraid to spend money on exceptional players. They seem to have improved in this area this year, but I’ve been fooled before . . . so color me skeptical. One thing I’ve always loved even more than sports was any good limerick. I searched out a few samples about sports and I found them to be just as enjoyable as any sports event on television.

A showoff whilst skating on ice,

Turned a difficult somersault (twice).

He bounced on his head,

Spat out six teeth and said:

“I must try that again- it was nice!”

💥💥💥

I hit every home run we score,

I catch every catch and what’s more,

I aint missed a game,

You may not know my name,

But I’m up here in row eighty-four.

💥💥💥

I played a few times for the Yankees

(Though, as memories, I’ve tried to blank these).

I did what I could,

But I wasn’t much good,

And my antics had fans grabbing hankies.

💥💥💥

A team playing baseball in Dallas

Called the umpire “blind” out of malice.

While the ump had fits,

The team scored eight hits,

And a girl in the bleachers called Alice!

08/27/2024 “BUMPER STICKERS”   Leave a comment

I went out early this morning to do a little food shopping and I noticed something that’s been bugging me for a while now. It seems to me that people these days are just criminally boring. One of the few pleasures that I’ve had over the years has been locating and reading funny bumper stickers. Those types of bumper stickers are damn hard to find anymore and I’m not sure why. I guess we can thank the WOKE generation for all of those good influences (that was sarcasm). The only thing you see these days are decals on their rear windows telling the entire world how many kids they have, what pets they have, what sports they like, and what schools they attend. It’s like a shopping list for perverts and pedophiles.

One of my favorite things when I purchased a new car was to always find just the right bumper sticker. Many years ago, I purchased a cute little orange Gremlin. It was a cool little car, and I immediately chose an appropriate bumper sticker that said, “Honk If Your Horny.” I received lots of comments from a variety of people and it was always good for a chuckle or two. I once loaned that car to my sixty-five-year-old very Catholic mother for her weekend shopping trip to Pittsburgh. When she got home, she couldn’t wait to tell me how friendly the people in Pittsburgh were because they were honking and waving to her wherever she went. I didn’t have the heart to tell her about the bumper sticker, but she eventually found out. Funny, she never asked to borrow that car again.

I just never see those interesting kind of bumper stickers anymore. Here are a few samples of bumper stickers that are still out there but they’re few and far between. Most drivers these days are deathly afraid of offending someone. So, with that being said, here are a few you might enjoy but be careful about who you show them to, they might get offended.

I’m looking for true love, but I’ll settle for cheap sex.

Ask me if I care.

Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go everywhere.

Love is a four-letter word.

If your phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.

See Dick drink. See Dick drive. See Dick die. Don’t be a dead Dick.

Nobody’s ugly after 2 A.M.

Fight Crime. Shoot Back.

Ask me. I might.

It is as bad as you think, and yes, they are out to get you.

HAPPY MOTORING

08/24/2024 “TOTALLY USELESS INFORMATION”   Leave a comment

I always make a point of searching out odd facts from as many sources as possible. Today’s list is what this blog is really all about, totally useless information and totally useless statistics. Some are humorous and some are silly but never doubt my ability to come up with useless information that has absolutely no value whatsoever.

  • Thirty-nine percent of women who think their legs are fat still wear short skirts.
  • In seventy-five percent of American households, the women manage the money and pay the bills.
  • If the population of China began walking past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
  • There is a lawsuit filed every thirty seconds in the United States.
  • Approximately 30,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year.

  • Forty-five percent of cat owners buy holiday gifts for their pet.
  • A four-year-old child asks an average of 437 questions a day.
  • The average American spends eight years of his life watching television.
  • The average human produces 50,000 pints of spit in a lifetime – the equivalent of two small swimming pools.
  • The average person over the age of 50 will have spent a year of their life looking for lost or mislaid items.

It’s a slow day here in Maine, it’s raining, it’s gray, and I need something to make me smile. I decided to share some of those things with you. Enjoy!

  • A couple just got married, and on the night of their honeymoon before making passionate love, the wife tells the husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.” The husband, being shocked, replies, “How is this possible? You’ve been married three times before.” The wife responds, “Well my first husband was a gynecologist and all he wanted to do was look at it. My second husband was a psychiatrist and all he wanted to do was talk about it. Finally, my third husband was a stamp collector and all he wanted to do was . . . Oh, do I ever miss him!
  • An old man and an old lady are getting ready for bed one night when all of a sudden, the woman bursts out of the bathroom, flings open her robe and yells, “SUPER PUSSY!” The old man says, “I’ll just have the soup.”
  • The old man went into the confessional and told the priest, “Father, I’m 81 years old and married with six children and 13 grandchildren. Last night I had an affair and made love to 2 18-year-old girls. Twice!” “I see,” said the priest. “When was the last time you were in confession?” “Never”, Father,” replied the old man, “I’m Jewish.” The priest asked, “So why are you telling me about it?” The man answered, “Hell, I’m telling absolutely everyone!”
  • Thor, the God of Thunder, assumes mortal form, comes down to earth on a Friday night and goes to a singles bar. He ends up going home with a beautiful woman and they spend the weekend in her place making passionate love, over and over again. Come Monday morning, Thor decides to reveal his true identity, saying, “I am Thor!” The woman looks at him and replies, “”Your thor! I’m so thor I can hardly pith.”

Q. What doesn’t belong in this list: meat, eggs, wife, blow job?

A. Blow job: You can beat your meat, eggs or wife, but you can’t beat a blow job.

ARE YOU SMILING YET?

08/20/2024 “THE MEDIA”   Leave a comment

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t think the media is a problem these days? I do miss the days of reading newspapers because there were so many inaccuracies and misstatements, it was fun just to search them out and have a laugh or two. Now if we want to read a newspaper you got to go online and sign up for their website, fill out a form with all of your information, and agree to accept all the crappy spam they decide to send you. Then they can and will sell your information to damn near anyone. In the past I’ve made a lot of fun of the written media only because there’s so much information out there that’s worth a laugh or three. Apparently, the worst job you can have in written media is being an editor. It’s also apparent from the information I’ve been reading that if they have editors, they aren’t all that bright. Here’s a short selection of headlines from newspapers and I cannot believe any alleged editors were doing their job. Here we go . . .

  • Statistics Show That Mortality Increases Perceptively in the Military During Wartime What editor in his right mind let this one slip through?
  • Two Sisters Reunited After 18 Years in Checkout Counter Unbelievable!!!
  • Safety Experts Say School Bus Passengers Should Be Belted We live in a time of geniuses.
  • NJ Judge to Rule on Nude Beach I wonder if he’s required to wear a robe for that.
  • Never Withhold Herpes from Loved One There some good dating advice . . . NOT!

  • Eye Drops Off Shelf OMG!
  • If Strike Isn’t Settled Quickly It May Last a While Another Rhodes scholar.
  • Smokers Are Productive, But Death Cuts Efficiency Thanks to the tobacco lobby for this one.
  • Dirty-Air Cities Far Deadlier than Clean Ones, Study Shows Another genius observation.
  • Fish Lurk in Streams This might be great for a Bass Pro Shop logo.

  • In ancient Greece and Rome dildos were made out of animal horns, ivory, gold, silver, and even glass.
  • Only thirty-one percent of men admit to looking at other women when in the company of their spouse or girlfriend. Their partners say the figure is actually closer to sixty-four percent.
  • In ancient Rome, men found guilty of rape had their testicles crushed between two stones as a punishment.

I love posting interesting information and when possible, I back up those facts with quotes from a variety of people with incredible life stories. I’ve noticed over the years that the great majority of published interesting quotes are primarily made by men. I also discovered quite by accident a small paperback book published in 2000 called Womens Wit and Wisdom. I haven’t been as surprised and pleased as I was as I began reading that book. I’ll share with you a number of quotes from well-known women which are both incredible and hilarious. This book contains quite a diverse group of quotes covering any number of topics from politics, humor, to life lessons. This little book will be placed in a position of honor in my unusual collection of writings.

  • “My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges and enabled me to walk serene and happy in the shadow cast by my deprivation.” Helen Keller
  • “The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend.” Toni Morrison
  • “Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once your aboard there’s nothing you can do.” Golda Meir
  • “I was thirty-seven when I went to work writing the column. I was too old for a paper route, too young for Social Security, and too tired for an affair.” Erma Bombeck

👩🏻‍🦰👩🏻👱🏻‍♀️

  • “The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie.” Ann Landers
  • “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt
  • “I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I’ve lost is two weeks.” Totie Fields
  • “My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.” Indira Gandhi
  • “Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” Amelia Earhart

07/23/2024 “FOR THE WOMEN”   Leave a comment

I occasionally make good-natured fun of women. Admittedly they can be funny as hell but it’s more of an excuse for me to irritate my better-half. Guess what? It works every time. She never fails to try and even the score in any number of ways but even then, I find her attempts at humor even funnier. Today’s post contains a lot of one-liners that will make most of my women readers smile and possibly giggle. The guys may cringe a little and call me an ass but IDC. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re beyond help anyway.

  • What is a man’s idea of honesty in a relationship? Telling you his real name.
  • Why do men name their penises? Because they don’t like the idea of a stranger making ninety percent of their decisions.
  • What do men and pantyhose have in common? They either cling, run, or don’t fit right in the crotch.
  • Why are men like cars? Because they always pull out before they check to see if anyone else is coming.
  • Why do only 10% of men go to heaven? Because if they all went, it would be hell.

TEN THINGS MAN KNOW ABOUT WOMEN

1. They have pussies.

2 – 9 ???

10. They have breasts too.

  • What’s the difference between a penis and a prick? A penis is fun, sexy and satisfying. A prick is the guy who owns it.
  • What is the one thing that keeps most men out of college? High school.
  • Why do men find it difficult to make eye contact? Because breasts don’t have eyes.
  • How many men does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One, men will screw anything.
  • What has eight arms and an IQ of 60? Four guys watching a football game.

Toe Be or Not Toe Be!

It seems that almost everyone is obsessed with their body image and that’s understandable considering the wide range of odd, shaped bodies we see every day. Even though there are so many variations, the functions and organs of the body are all too similar. Here are a few trivia facts about our bodies. They can be a thing of beauty or not and they can be a bit disgusting or not. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

  • Did you know that approximately 1 in every 18 men have a third nipple. People who have the condition will sometimes suffer from atelophobia, the fear of being imperfect. Celebrities Tilda Swinton, Carrie Underwood, Lily Allen, and Mark Wahlberg have third nipples. Mark Wahlberg’s third nipple was airbrushed out of his famous Calvin Klein underwear ad.
  • If you have a fear of facial hair, you could be suffering from pogonophobia. In ancient times beards were a sign of strength and wisdom and were only cut or sheared off as punishment or if someone was in mourning.
  • Were you aware that your left lung is slightly smaller than your right. It’s to allow room for your heart.

  • Did you know that women need more sleep at night than men. Women need an extra hour of sleep but sometimes don’t get it. Not getting that extra hour is believed to be one reason why women are more susceptible to depression than men.
  • My cat’s hairballs creep me out. I discovered recently that human beings can also have hairballs and they’re even more disgusting than the cats. The largest human hairball ever removed from the body measured 15 inches in diameter and weighed 10 pounds. The patient also happened to suffer from a condition called trichophagia (the eating of one’s own hair).
  • The heart is life. Over the course of a lifetime the human heart beats 3 billion times. Your heartbeat mimics the music you listen to and can trigger physiological changes that increase or decrease your blood pressure. The heart is a massive blood pump circulating blood through an average body every 23 seconds or approximately 4000 gallons of blood each day.

YIKES ! ! !
