Popular Post westernfan Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to the shops. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in find the stuff and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - loves to browse & leaves me with endless time to fullfil. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local store. Dear Mrs. Customer: Over the past six months, your husband (me) has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you. Our complaints against your husband are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras: 1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking. 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. 4. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department, to which twenty children obliged. 5. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 6. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. 7. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 8. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room? And last, but not least: 9. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out. 3 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernfan Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" The dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your mother, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the working class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense." The little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has soiled his diaper. The little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while capitalism is screwing the working class, the government is sound asleep, the people are being ignored and the future is in deep sh!t." 2 2 3 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
