I tried the Japanese method of decluttering where you hold every object that you own, and if it does not bring you joy, you throw it out. So far I have thrown out all of the vegetables, the electric bill, the scale, a mirror, and my treadmill.

How to install a southern home security system:

  1. 1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men’s work boots.
  2. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Gun & Ammo
  3. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
  4. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Bubba,

Me and Marcel, Donnie Ray and Jimmy Earl went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour. Don’t mess with the pitbulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up pretty bad.

I don’t think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of ‘em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back…

A cop is staking out a bar for drunk drivers. At closing time, he sees a guy stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and fumble for his keys for 5 minutes. When he finally gets in, it takes him another five minutes to get the key in the ignition. Meanwhile, everybody else leaves the bar and drives off. When he finally pulls away, the cop is waiting for him, pulls him over, and gives him a breathalyzer test. The test shows he has a blood alcohol level of 0.0. The cop says, “How is this possible?” The guys replies, “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”

Right before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, make sure that you raise your left leg. That way you start off the New Year on the right foot.

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up.

Cop: Yeah, that’s not how field sobriety tests work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The officer said, “You’re staggering.”

I said “You’re quite handsome yourself.”

We just laughed and laughed... I need bail money.

This is a true story of a poor dizzy blonde flying in a two-seater airplane with just the pilot. The pilot has a heart attack and dies. She frantically calls out a Mayday. *Mayday! Mayday! Help me! Help me! My pilot had a heart attack and is dead and I don*t know how to fly. Help me, please, help me!* She hears a voice come over the radio saying: *This is Air Traffic Control and I have you loud and clear. I will talk you through this and get you back on the ground. I have had a lot of experience with this kind of problem. Now, just take a deep breath. Everything will be fine! Now give me your height and position.* She says, *I*m 5'4" and I*m in the front seat.* (pause) *Ok* says the voice on the radio....*Repeat after me: Our father who art in heaven....*
