Ah, Yes! What goes around comes around.

You've got a whole new audience now, crewleader.

Let his parents handle this. If I were them, I'd have the photo

blown up and hung in his room where he must see it every day and night.

Then see how funny he thinks his prank is after six months.

Avery was featured in a documentary on Children and the Arts, shown on

a local Public TV station this evening.
Her musical talents were obvious, and she is a spirited youngster.

She will succeed wherever she gets her schooling, though it's a shame the DC school system is inflexible.

Best wishes, Ranger. I am always so

impressed when someone has the determination and resolve to stick with writing a book.
Good on you!

ROFL - Crewleader, I think you have one of those Jack Benny files of jokes...

How to start a fight, pt. 3:

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer...
Always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.
I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Fighting Redux

Saturday morning, I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage.
I hooked the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and
discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
I cuddled up to my wife's back;
now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

My loving wife of many years replied,
"And can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...

Who knew? I'm going to bed now.

Have a good night.

(Good thing I didn't add the fifth one that would have sent some through the roof!)

How To Start A Fight-

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started...


My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have Sex?"
"No," she answered. I then said,
"Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...


My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...


My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and she said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.
I really need you to pay me a compliment."
I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

And then the fight started...
