A gingerbread man went to the doctor’s complaining of a sore knee.
“A sore knee?” the doctor said. “Have you tried icing it?”

QUAIL WARS
A New Poop









A little while ago in a galaxy not all that far away. . .
. . .in fact maybe on my back porch. . .


bababaBA BA bababaBA BA


QUAIL WARS


SLANTY SUBTITLES: The Empire had trapped six resistance fighters in a hardware cloth box made with 1 by and some legs so their poop could fall down through the wire onto soil.

RESISTANCE QUAIL FIGHTER: The Empire has forgotten to feed us!

SLANTY SUBTITLES: The resistance fighters had begun to organize.  

(Quail sit around staring in different directions).

EVIL MUSIC: ba, ba, ba, ba-ba, ba, ba-ba.

DARTH QUAIL: Luke, I am your father.  I think.  There were a lotta hens around, and we really didn’t keep track of which egg rolled out of which hen. . . so. . .ah. . .well this is awkward. . .Luke, I MIGHT be your father.

They fight.  Peck, peck, peck.  

DARTH QUAIL: babaBA!

QUAIL STORMTROOPER: Your Jedi mind tricks won’t work on me, old man.  I don’t have a mind, I’m a quail! My brain is the size of a pea!

CQuailPO: babaBA!

RquailDquail: baBAbababa babaBA woaoao!

CQuailPO: You know, you sound more like a chicken when you do that woaoao sound.

PRINCESS QUAILA: Here are the plans to the Death Star.  We’ll break in here to liberate the Grubblies.

LUKE QUAILWALKER: What happened to your neck feathers? Did the Imperial Stormtroopers…?

LEIA: Hey, stop pecking my neck, Luke. Ooh, food!  (Peck peck peck)

RESISTANCE FIGHTER: Let’s focus, quails.  We need a diversion.  Here’s the plan, we’ll poop in our water, that’ll show the Empire!  Then, we’ll drown ourselves in it, get mysterious illnesses, fly straight up and hit our head on the ceiling for no reason, and poop in our water.  Look, our water froze over! It’s a sign! Now we can walk on it and poop on it more easily!   Luke Quailwalker, looks like you’re up.

LUKE QUAILWALKER: Just like hunting larvae on Gramulon 5.  Only problem, sir, I can’t really control my bowel moments, they just come at random.

RESISTANCE FIGHTER: A Jedi quail must learn to trust his feelings.  May be Grubblies be with you.  babaBA!

A drunk walks into a bar and shouts out, "Happy New Year!"  The bartender replies, "Get out of here. Its June."  The drunk looks at his watch and gasps, "My wife is going to kill me. I have never been so late in my life."

I notice a number of people on this site asking how to get funds to start a homestead. This is how I did it when I was broke.  I bought an apple at an apple orchard for a nickle and walked to the farmers market and sold it for a dime. With that, I bought 2 apples. I continued with this approach for 3 weeks ever increasing my volume of sales through hard work .  My feet hurt, and the sack of apples was heavy, but I continued to achieve my dream. Then my aunt died an left me $200,000.00.

A worried housewife sprang to the telephone when it rang and listened with relief to the kindly voice in her ear. "How are you, darling?" she said. "What kind of a day are you having?"
"Oh, mother," said the woman on the phone, breaking into bitter tears, "I've had such a bad day. The baby won't eat and the washing machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping, and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble around. On top of that, the house is a mess and I'm supposed to have two couples to dinner tonight."

The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy. "Oh, darling," she said, "sit down, relax, and close your eyes. I'll be over in half an hour. I'll do your shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll feed the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your house to fix the washing machine promptly. Now stop crying. I'll do everything. In fact, I'll even call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for once."

"George?" said the woman. "Who's George?"

"Why, George! Your husband!....Is this 223-1374?

"No, this is 223-1375."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number."

There was a short pause and the other woman said, "Does this mean you're not coming over?"

Every time you get the urge to clean, watch Hoarders. You may decide your house isn’t that dirty after all.

These three ol' boys went to apply for this job, and the guy tells them "I can only hire one, but I tell you what I am going to do.  I am going to ask you all a question and whoever gives me the best answer I'll hire.:

He asks the first ol' boy:  "In you opinion, what is the fastest thing in the world?"
   "A thought"...    "A Thought?"   "Yup, it ain't there and then it is."   "Well, thats pretty good, I never thought about that."

He asks the second ol' boy:  "In you opinion, what is the fastest thing in the world?"
   "A light"   "A light?"  "Yup, it ain't there, you hit a switch and there it is, hit the switch again and it is gone."   "That's a pretty good answer"

He asks the third ol' boy:  "In your opinion, what is the fastest thing in the world?"
   "Diarrhea"   "What??"  "Diarrhea"    

"Man what's wrong with you, this first guy said a thought and that's a pretty good answer, the second guy said a light and that's a good answer.  And you come up with Diarrhea.  How you figure that?"

"Because, before you can even think about turning that light on, it's to late"
    "

We've had way too much rain lately:

Q: What did one raindrop say to the other?

A: Two's company, three's a cloud.


Q: What do you call it when it rains chickens and ducks?


A: Fowl weather.


Q: How do thunderstorms invest their money?


A: In a combination of liquid assets and frozen assets.


Very thankfully, the percentage of "frozen assets" we've had to deal with has been minimal... touch wood.
