Subject: HALLOWEEN COSTUME DILEMMA
A bald man with a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.
A few days later, he received a parcel with the following note: Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.Very truly yours,Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.
A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says: Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your Wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.Very truly yours,Acme Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint.
The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads: Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple. Very truly yours,Acme Costume Co

Yesteday, in mentioning the Crossroads 2007 Guitar Festival I suggested checking out Jeff Beck playing with his daughter. That just doesn't sound right. Trading licks with his daughter? No, that ain't right either. How about sharing guitar duties with his bass playing teenage daughter? Now I am politically correct.
Way back "in the day" Frank Zappa did a song in which someone asked "if she was your daughter, what would you do, daddy?" To which the sick industrial politician father answered "I'd smother my daughter in chocolate syrup and plug her 'til the cows come home....." I wonder how he felt about writing and recording that song after he had his own daughter?

What? A word older men use because they can't understand every word of a statement made by a woman three rooms away. This is guaranteed to lead to many of the words in the following list of words women use. [don't ask me how I know, Bub]
From: Cousin Bonnie
9 WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men... A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F--K YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
Was his crime terrorism? Narcotics? No. He was selling raw milk, yogurt, fresh kefir and cheeses directly from his farm without a permit.
