Fun Friday

Let’s take a break from blogging about our vacations . . . this was sent from our friend in Michigan.

Washington, D.C.
An old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see President Obama and Speaker Pelosi before I die", whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Nancy Pelosi would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Pelosi, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected. After all, I'm IN IT TO WIN."
Pelosi agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Obama's hand in his right hand and Pelosi's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally President Obama spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

"Amen", said Obama. "Amen", said Pelosi.

The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."

Fun Friday – The Mystery Of 2012

Fun Friday – The Other Side

If you ever been to Mount Rushmore you know how magnificent the sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents are. Have you ever wondered, how it looks on the other side of the mountain? Well, thanks to my sister-in-law, who is living in Canada, she has revealed the other side of Mt. Rushmore and what it really looks like from the Canadian side.

The Real Winner Of The 2009 Nobel Prize

I got this from Michael Ramirez Cartoon website, without TOTUS the Prompter, Obama would be but an empty shell at a loss for words.

Fun Friday, Part II – The Nobel Peace Prize

How funny is this? When I read the news about the Nobel Peace Prize this morning I couldn’t stop laughing and I’ve been thinking so hard, what has Obama done to deserve this Nobel Peace Prize?

I thought the Nobel Peace Prize is that they are about achievement (I like to hope it is for good achievement, but after Al Gore . . . I don’t know anymore!). The more and more I think about it, well, is not really Obama’s fault that he wins the Nobel Peace Prize or whether or not he deserves it or the fact that we still have war in the womb, but how idiotic the Peace Prize Committees are! Are they desperate? Is ACORN in the committee? Is it the hope & change thing? Did they feel sorry for him because he didn’t win the Olympic bids for 2016? But, it can’t be the Olympic thing, because the committee voted on February 1st 2009, two weeks after he took office. 

I couldn’t come up with anything and my conclusion is, the Peace Prize Committees has lowered their standard and has cheapening the purpose of the award!

UPDATE: It shows that I’m not alone, Creative Minority Report congratulated Obama!

UPDATE II: From Times Online in UK; absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize

They Are Coming To Take Over The World

When I saw this in our backyard, I thought for sure I have to call Fox News for the big news of an Extraterrestrial alien in our backyard. I was thinking, they are probably here with the intention to fix the world hunger, the economy and to take our US President back to the planet he came from for some brain testing.

I hesitated to even come closer, because I didn’t want to ruin their plan, especially the last plan. But as I get closer and closer I realized it is only a mushroom. Darn it! That means we still have to deal with Obama for another 1262 days. Oh well, it’s nice to have a crazy wish during this crazy time.

This mushroom is quite big, it’s almost as big as a basketball.

Now I wanna know why?

Weekly Joke – A Woman and A Hairdresser

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: 

"Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old their flight attendants are ugly,  and they're Always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." 

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome . 

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. 
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!" 

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the pope." 

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. 
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." 

"Oh, really!  What'd he say?"

He said: "Who messed up your hair?"

All I wanna know is, HOW?

Weekly Joke – An Amish Farmer

An Amish farmer, walking through his field, notices a man drinking from his pond, with his hand.

The Amish man shouts: "Trink das Wasser nicht. Die Kuhen haben dahin gesheissen." Which means:
"Don't drink the water, the cows have sh!t in it."

The man shouts back: "I'm a Muslim, I do not understand your gibberish... Speak English, infidel!"

The Amish man calmly says: "Use two hands, and you'll get more!"
