The Florida Highway Patrol
Friday, den 12. October 2007
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette Convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. ‘Amazing,’ he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the Highway Patrol officer behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, ‘What am I doing? I’m too old for this,’ and pulled over to await the officer’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the officer walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, ‘Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.’
The old gentleman paused. Then said, ‘Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida Highway Patrol Officer. I thought you were bringing her back.’
‘Have a good day, Sir,’ replied the trooper.
Have a great weekend everyone…see you Sunday.

The Pope
Friday, den 12. October 2007
Have a great weekend everyone. See you Monday.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
There was a Pope who was greatly loved by all of his followers, a man wholed with gentleness, faith and wisdom. His passing was grieved by the entire world, Catholic or not.
As the Pope approached the gates of heaven, it was Saint Peter who greeted him in a firm embrace. “Welcome your holiness, your dedication and unselfishness in serving your fellow man during your life has earned you great stature in heaven. You may pass through the gates without delay and are granted free access to all parts of heaven.”
“You are also granted an open door policy and may at your own discretion meet with any heavenly leader, including the Father without prior appointment.”
“Is there anything which your holiness desires?”
“Well, yes,” the Pope replied. “I have often pondered some of the mysteries
which have puzzled and confounded theologians through the ages. Are there perhaps any transcripts which recorded the actual conversations between God and the prophets of old? I would love to see what was actually said, with-out the dimming of memories over time.”
Saint Peter immediately ushered the Pope to the heavenly library and explained how to retrieve the various documents. The Pope was thrilled and settled down to review the history of man’s relationship with God.
Two years later a scream of anguish pierced the stacks of the library. Immediately several of the Saints and Angels came running. There they found the Pope pointing to a single word on a parchment, repeating over and over, “There’s an ‘R’, there’s an ‘R’ — it’s celibRate!”

I Wanna Be a Jazebel
Friday, den 12. October 2007
Mimi, the Queen of Meme’s from Mimi Writes… tagged me to do the Jazebel meme. Then Lala @ What? Mermaids? tagged me with this meme. Then after checking my Google reader and finding over 500 unread posts, I noticed that Travis at Trav’s Thoughts tagged me too. For fear of some dreadful thing happening to me, I had better get with it.
This story is disguised as a meme. The Jezebel Meme. See bottom of post for details and tagees. “I Wanna Be a Jezebel”… (well, not really, but it’s the name of the meme.)
Oh what to wear, what to wear. I haven’t been out to a dance in years and I haven’t a clue what to wear, or whether I can even remember how to dance. I’m so nervous. Will he like me? I haven’t seen him in what, forty years? Has it really been that long? He was the hottest back then. All the girls wanted him and wow could he dance. I wonder.
Just then the phone rings and I nearly jump out of my skin. Oh sure, he’s calling to cancel. I just know it. I answer the phone to find out it’s a friend that wants to help me get ready for the dance. I just have to look hot. I just have to. We plan to meet at our favorite clothing store first thing in the morning. I’m thinking about that little black number. Well girls, you know the dress I’m talking about.
We shop and shop, but nothing looks right. Is it the extra pounds? Is it my age. Nothing seems to look good on me anymore. Finally we find the little black number, but it needs some alterations. It’s expensive, but I have to look my best. Add shoes, purse and jewelry and it’s very expensive. Let’s not forget the manicure, pedicure and hair. It didn’t used to be this difficult to go out.
The night finally arrives, and after forty years I get to see the man of my dreams 
and dance the night away. I arrive at the hotel as nervous as I can be. Will he recognize me? Will I be attractive to him? I take a deep breath and enter the bar. There are couples everywhere. Where is he? There are several men at the bar that appear to be without dates, but they are old, bald or balding, and fairly heavy. Could he have changed this much?
Finally I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder. I turn around to find a handsome man who is tall, dark and very sexy. Tom I ask? No, he says, I’m to escort you to Tom. I follow this hunk to a more private area to find a portly, bald, very unattractive man. Could this be Tom? Yes, it’s Tom. I’m not dancing the night away with the love of my life afterall…
And now the rules for The Jezebel Meme. It’s simple. Tell us your favorite dance story and pass the groovy beat to five be-bopping bloggers. I tag the first five that want to participate. Let me know and I’ll add your link here.

Bubba
Friday, den 12. October 2007
Bubba went to a psychiatrist. “I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.”
“Just put yourself in my hands for one year,” said the shrink. “Come talk to me three times a week, and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”
“How much do you charge?”
“Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.
“I’ll sleep on it,” said Bubba.
Six months later the doctor met Bubba on the street. “Why didn’t you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?” asked the psychiatrist.
“Well eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!”
“Is that so! And how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”
“He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain’t nobody under there now!!!”

How To Create An Audio Podcast From a Video
Friday, den 12. October 2007I found a cool new tool today.
It’s a file conversion website. Basically it will take your document, file, video, or audio and convert it into one of a bajillion different formats.
It’s called Zamzar.com
I used it to convert my How Do I Get Indexed In Google video into a pure MP3 audio track. Now [...]
