A Republican cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Hillary Clinton is attending, trying to gather support for her nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.
As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around her head. The cowboy says, "you havin' some problem with them circle flies?"
She said, "Well yes, if that's what they're called. But I've never heard of circle flies."
"Well ma'am," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
"Oh," Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment later she stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's a$$?"
"No, ma'am," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse's a$$."
"That's a good thing," she responds and begins rambling on once more.
After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies though."

Kinda OT, but I have been even more depressed than usual the last few days.
Momma was at church, so I called the Helpline. Like so many organizations, they have "outsourced" to Pakistan.
I found myself on a conference call with two Pakistanis that barely spoke English.
I told them that I was having suicidal thoughts.
They got all excited and asked me if I knew how to drive a truck.

Is your job a Pain in the Arse????? Be thankful you don't have this one.....
When you have a
'I Hate My Job'
day,
[even if retired you have those sometimes]
try this:
On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson
Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.
Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it wil l not become chipped or broken.
Now the fun part begins.
Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:
'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized. '
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality contr ol department at Johnson & Johnson.'
HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ASS THAN YOURS!

Butch
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully...the bells are not always audible.

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their mothers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up - teacher, nurse, businesswoman, saleswoman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his mother, he replied,
"Well my mother's an exotic dancer in a cabaret and takes off all her clothes in front of men and they put money in her underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, she will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your mother?"
"No," the boy said, "She works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

For those coming to Phoenix for the Super Bowl
HOW TO DRIVE IN PHOENIX:
1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is: “FEE-NICKS”.
2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00pm. Friday’s rush hour starts on Thursday morning.
3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph. On Loop 101, your speed is expected to match the highway number. Anything less is considered “Wussy”.
4. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Phoenix has its own version of traffic rules. For example, cars/trucks with the loudest muffler go first at a four-way stop; the trucks with the biggest tires go second. However, East Valley, SUV-driving, cell phone-talking moms ALWAYS have the right of way.
5. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed out, and possibly shot.
6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously. It’s another offense that can get you shot.
7. Road construction is permanent and continuous in Phoenix. Detour barrels are moved around during the middle of the night to make the next day’s driving a bit more exciting.
8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks, skunks, dogs, barrels, cones, cows, horses, cats, mattresses, shredded tires, squirrels, rabbits, crows, vultures, javelinas, roadrunners, and the coyotes feeding on any of these items.
9. Maricopa Freeway, Papago Freeway and the “I-10” are the same road.
10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to inform them that it has been “accidentally activated.”
11. If you are in the left lane and only driving 70 in a 55-65 mph zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be “flipped off” accordingly. If you return the flip, you’ll be shot.
12. For summer driving, it is advisable to wear potholders on your hands.
13. Visitors, tourists and illegals need to rent Hummers.
14. Snowbirds drive 40’ long trailers, never exceed 35 mph, and don’t use turn signals. However, they are rarely packing guns——
15. WELCOME TO OUR FREEWAYS; ENJOY YOUR COMMUTE!!!

The Seven Dwarfs were marching through the forest one day they fell in a deep, dark ravine. Snow White, who was following along, peered over the edge of the steep chasm and called out to the fallen dwarfs. From the depths of the dark hole a voice returned, “The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl contenders.”
Snow White thought to herself, “Thank God... at least Dopey’s survived!”

Married Couple
A married couple, in their early 60s, was celebrating their 32nd wedding anniversary at a quiet, romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly, a tiny beautiful Fairy appeared on their table.
She said: "For being such an exemplary married couple and
especially this time, I will grant you each a wish."
"Oh, said the wife, I want to travel around the World with my
darling husband" .
The fairy waved her magic wand ; and - poof! - two t ickets for the Queen Mary II luxury liner and Ten Thousand Dollars appeared in her hands.
Then it was the husband's turn.
He thought for a minute and said: "Well, this is all very romantic,
but an opportunity like this will never come again. So I'm going with my mind and not my Heart ".
" I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me."
The wife and the Fairy were shocked and disappointed.
But a wish is a wish.
So, the Fairy waved he r magic wand, and - Poof! the husband became 92 years old.
The Moral of the story:
Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember; Fairies are Female.
"When we laugh at our problems, we will
always have something to laugh about."

"My job has convinced me that life is a stale joke with no punch line."
"I long for the comfort of the grave."
Mom - "Next time just say 'It's fine'."
Dilbert - "I enjoy our talks."
Mom - "It's fine."

What does the average Arkansas high school student get on the S.A.T.?
Drool.
_____
Karl and Milly were lying in bed one night. Carl was falling asleep but Milly was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, “You used to hold my hand when we were courting.”
Wearily Karl reached across, held her hand for a second, and rolled over to try to fall asleep.
A few moments later she said, “Then you used to kiss me.” Mildly irritated, he leaned across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled back down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said, “Then you used to bite my neck.”
Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“To GET my teeth,” he replied.

In one episode of "Cheers", Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo
Theory to his buddy, Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained
any better than this . .
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the lowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is
good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the
whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest
brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this
way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the
brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

If You Love Somebody
I always thought the original saying was, "If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back to you, it wasn't yours to begin with."
However, for the purposes of this test, let's use the proposed version. In which category do you fall?
"The Old Version"
If you love somebody, Set her free...
If she comes back, she's yours,
If she doesn't, she never was....
"The New Versions"
Pessimist
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
If she ever comes back, she's yours,
If she doesn't, well, as expected, she never was.
Optimist
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
Don't worry, she will come back.
Suspicious
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
If she ever comes back, ask her why.
Impatient
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
If she doesn't comes back within some time forget her.
Patient
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
If she doesn't come back, continue to wait until she comes back ...
Playful
If you love somebody, Set her free ...
* If she comes back, and if you love her still, set her free again, repeat *
Vengeful
If you love somebody, Set her free...
If she doesn't come back,
Hunt her down and shoot her.
C++ Programmer

if(m_she == NULL)
m_she= new CShe;

Clause 1a of Paragraph 13a-1 in the second amendment of the Matrimonial Freedom Act clearly states that...
Bill Gates
If you love somebody, Set her free...
If she comes back, I think we can charge her for re-installation fees and tell her that she's also going to get an upgrade.
Biologist
If you love somebody, Set her free...
She'll evolve.
Statistician
If you love somebody, Set her free...
If she loves you, the probability of her coming back is high,

Overpossessive

A guy named Roger is driving his girlfriend, Gloria, home from dinner one night, when Gloria says, “Do you realize that, as of tonight, we’ve been seeing each other for exactly six months?” There is silence in the car. To Gloria, it seems like a very loud silence.
Gloria (thinking): Geez, I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he’s been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I’m trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn’t want, or isn’t sure of.
Roger (thinking): Gosh. Six months.
Gloria (thinking): But, hey, I’m not so sure I want this kind of relationship, either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I’d have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are...I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?
Roger (thinking): So that means it was...let’s see...February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer’s, which means...lemme check the odometer...Whoa, I am way overdue for an oil change here.
Gloria (thinking): He’s upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I’m reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment; maybe he has sensed, even before I sensed it, that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that’s it. That’s why he’s so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He’s afraid of being rejected.
Roger (thinking): And I’m gonna have them look at the transmission again. I don’t care what those morons say, it’s still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It’s 87 degrees out, and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600!
Gloria (thinking): He’s angry. And I don’t blame him. I’d be angry too. God, I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can’t help the way I feel. I’m just not sure.
Roger (thinking): They’ll probably say it’s only a 90-day warranty. That’s exactly what they’re gonna say, the scumballs.
Gloria (thinking): Maybe I’m just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I’m sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I truly do care about, a person who is in pain because of my self-centered schoolgirl romantic fantasy.
Roger (thinking): Warranty? They want a warranty? I’ll give them a warranty. I’ll take their warranty and stick it right up their...
Gloria (aloud): Roger?
Roger (startled): What?
Gloria (her eyes filling with tears): Please don’t torture yourself like this. Maybe I should never have...Oh God, I feel so...
Roger: What?
Gloria (sobbing): I’m such a fool. I mean, I know there’s no knight. I really know that. It’s silly. There’s no knight, and there’s no horse.
Roger: There’s no horse?
Gloria: You think I’m a fool, don’t you?
Roger (relieved finally to know the right answer): No.
Gloria: It’s just that...It’s that I...I need some time.
Roger (after a 15-second pause during which he is thinking as fast as he can, trying to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work.): Yes.
Gloria (deeply moved, touching his hand): Oh, Roger, do you really feel that way?
Roger: What way?
Gloria: That way about time.
Roger: Oh. Yes.
Gloria (gazing deeply into Roger’s eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks.): Thank you, Roger.
Roger: Thank you.
Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed and cries until dawn. Roger goes back to his place, opens a bag of Doritos, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a tennis match between two Czechoslovakians he never heard of. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he could ever understand what. He figures it’s better if he doesn’t think about it.
The next day Gloria calls all her best friends and talks about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail they analyze everything she said and everything he said, considering every possible ramification. They continue to discuss this subject off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions.
Meanwhile, Roger, while playing racquetball one day with a mutual friend of his and Gloria’s, pauses just before serving, frowns, and says, “Norm, did Gloria ever own a horse?”

After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the Obstetrician. ‘Doctor,’ the man said, ‘I don’t mind telling you, but I’m a little upset because my daughter has red hair.
She can’t possibly be mine.’ ‘Nonsense,’ the doctor said. ‘Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool.’
‘It isn’t possible,’ the man insisted. ‘This can’t be, our families on both sides had jet-black hair for generations.’
‘Well,’ said the doctor, ‘let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?’ The man seemed a bit ashamed. ‘I’ve been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice every few months.’
‘Well, there you have it!’ the doctor said. ‘It’s rust.’

Also, Hillary promises not to go negative.....
Even though she’s apparently in a slide at the moment, the Hillary Clinton campaign is promising not to go negative against B. Hussein Obama.
A spokesperson anonymously put a positive spin on the campaign and said today, “While we understand Hillary is apparently sliding in poll after poll against B. Hussein Obama, we must call a spade a spade and admit we are now behind the black 8-ball. Like Davey Crockett at the Alamo, fighting in his coonskin hat, we feel we’re fighting for the survival of America. Hillary will be niggardly in her fiscal policy, keeping taxes low on middle and lower class American by soaking the rich for more than they already pay, subsidizing lower class Americans to achieve their right of being equal." Reaching for a coke, they said further, “What two people choose to do in the back seat of a car is their business", a statement in defense of personal rights.
"Hillary refuses to cater to any specific demographic group and will address all Americans and hyphenated-Americans equally, although she did thoroughly enjoy her latest trip to Mexico and truly appreciates the Mexicans and their hospitality."
