Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Night Funny

Remember,
Your relatives had no choice in the matter either.

Stange Laws

There are some strange laws in this land and here are a few.

In Idaho:

... It is illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty(50) pounds. (Talk about having a sweet tooth!)
... Residents may not fish from a giraffe's back (I guess if you are not a resident of Idaho, but just visiting there, then it's all right to fish from the back of a giraffe!)

In Illinois:

... One may not urinate in his neighbor's mouth. (Well there goes the deviant sex out the window!)
... Law forbids eating in a place that is on Fire. (Ok, now why would this even need to be codified into law, duh!)
... You cannot use a slingshot unless you are a law enforcement officer. (Oh, now there's a cop everyone will listen to!)

In Massachusetts:

... All men must carry a rifle to church on Sunday. (That'll keep the preacher from droning on now won't it!)
... At a wake, mourners may not eat more than three(3) sandwiches (Hey, you have to save some for the dead to take with them on their journey, now don't you!)
... Ii is illegal to keep a mule on the second(2nd) floor of a building NOT in a city unless there are two exits. (So, I guess you can keep a mule on the second floor of a building IN a city even if there was only one exit!)
... It is illegal to take a lion to the movies. (I suppose they just won't stay quite during the show so it is best to leave them at home!)

There you have it just a few of the "LAWS" we have in this land. Keep checking in, as I find them I'll post them.








Morning Funny

There are three dimensions to credit cards,
length, width
and debt.

Marijuana, Cocaine and Tranquilizers

Yesterday, July 5th, Angelynna Young was sentenced to 22 years in prison in Williamstown, Kentucky for crashing the school bus she was driving on January 17th of this year in Grant County Kentucky.

Why such a long time behind bars you might ask?

Well, crashing a school bus full of children into a utility pole isn't endearing you to the judge in the first place but doing do while on Marijuana, Cocaine and Tranquilizers (all at the same time -- which is beyond stupid in and of itself, but I digress), pretty much puts your name on the 'shit list' at the top.

Sending two kids to the hospital and injuring fourteen others when you do so writes your name in bold letters and highlights it with all kinds of red flags, exclamation points, asterisks, etc.

Ms. Young had plead guilty, but was in court to try and change that plea to not guilty on July 5th but was rejected by the judge, who took the prosecutor's recommendation of 22 years behind bars.

*****

It is about time we start dealing with those using drugs thusly, after a few such instances of having to truly face the consequences of their actions maybe the rest will 'sober up' and the need for a 'war on dugs' with evaporate.

In ten years when Ms. Young comes up for parole, I am sure the young boy who now has to were a protective helmet for the rest of his life is there to say and show the results of her actions were.

And lest you who imbibe of the grape and the grain think you are not 'using drugs' remember alcohol is a drug and the old tools used by the goalors of the medieval period to exact punishment upon those who transgressed can and should be re-instituted for use to exact punishment on those who transgress by using drugs ---anyone up for a stay in an Iron Maiden ... and no I don't mean the heavy metal band either!
