Buckshot Bear

Ramblings of a retired mind * I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. * You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. * I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans. * I thought about making a fitness movie, for folks my age, and call it "Pumping Rust." * I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers * Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of an emergency.' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"

A tour bus driver is driving with a busload of seniors down a highway on the Queensland's Gold Coast when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up. After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, “why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?” “We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth”, she replied. The puzzled driver asks, “Why do you buy them then?”, The old lady replied, “We just love the chocolate around them.”

GOOD TIP ON HOW TO GET PERMISSION TO PLAY GOLF Four married men were happy playing golf early on a Saturday morning… During the 4th hole the following conversation began: First Man: Bet you’ve no idea what I had to do to be able to come out golfing today... I had to promise my wife that I’ll paint the sitting room next weekend. Second Man: That's nothing; I had to promise mine I’d build a new deck for the pool. Third Man: You both have it sooo easy! I had to promise my wife that I’ll remodel the kitchen for her. They continue to play the hole,… and eventually realize that the fourth Man hasn’t said a word.

When it went off, I gave the wife a slap on her ass and said: 'Golf course or intercourse? ' She said: 'Wear sun-block

An Australian guy goes into a bar in the Greek Islands. Jill, the Australian barmaid takes his order and notices his Australian accent. Over the course of the night they talk quite a bit. At the end of the night he asks her if she wants to have s*x with him.Although she is attracted to him she says no. He then offers to pay Her $200 for the deed. Jill is traveling the world and because she is short of funds she agrees. The next night the guy turns up again and after showing her plenty of attention throughout the night he asks if she will sleep with him again for $200.

How a marriage works A newlywed couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies .. So, he said to his new wife, 'Honey, I'll be right back.' 'Where are you going, honey bunch?' asked the wife. 'I'm going to the bar, pretty face..I'm going to have a beer.' The wife said, 'You want a beer, my love?' She went and opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer brands from 12 different countries other than Australia: Germany , Holland , Japan , India ,etc. The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, 'Yes, lolly pop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses...' He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, 'You want a frozen glass, puppy face?' She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it. The husband, looking a bit pale, said, 'Yes, tootsie roll, but at the Bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long, I'll be right back. I promise. OK?' You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?' She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc. 'But my sweet honey... At the bar... You know...there's swearing, dirty words and all that...' 'You want dirty words, Dickhead? Drink your ^$%#g beer in your Goddamn frozen mug and eat your *&%^$%^%&g snacks, because you are Married now, and you aren't ^$%#g going anywhere! Got it, Arsehole?' So he stayed home......................and, they lived happily ever after. Now, isn't that a sweet story?

BODY MEETING: All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge "I should be in charge," said the brain , "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen". "I should be in charge," said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away." "I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy." "I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go." "I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes." "I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal." All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss. The Moral of the story? The asshole is usually in charge !!

By contrast, your worst enemy is "a bit of a bastard". 13.

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
