Tuesday Musings and Ramblings

Apologies for my being a day late and a dollar short.

Remember all the hoopla over fans throwing one unused syringe without a needle at Barry “Barroids” Bonds earlier this year? Remember how all the media was all over the story, condemning fans who throw objects on the field, saying how it could harm a player? Now compare that uproar to the relative silence over the “fans” in San Francisco pelting the opposing team with beer bottles and other pieces of garbage after Barroids was tossed out recently. You see, in baseball, there is a golden rule that arguing called strikes can (and will) get you thrown out of the game. Another rule is there are certain words guaranteed to get you thrown out if you use them on an umpire. Barroids went for the daily double by first arguing and then saying one of the magic words. The reaction of the mob in SanFran caused the other team to flee the field for their safety. Been fairly quiet since then, hasn’t it? I had to search three different websites to even find a mention of the incident in the report of the game. How sad that the media choose to protect a bum like Barroids, but refuse to extend that protection to an entire team who did nothing wrong.

On electric toasters, why do they engrave the message "one slice"? How many pieces of bread do they think people will try to stuff in that slot?

Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?

Another story about WMD’s that have been found in Iraq. Of course, people will continue to lie and say we have never found any. Oh, and don’t forget that these same people will continue to deny that Saddam had any connection with Al Qaeda.

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

For a story that will turn your stomach, read how former President Clinton acted pompous yet did nothing to find those responsible for the Khobar Towers murders

Monday Funny

Bubba was stopped by a Game Warden with an ice chest of fish, leaving a cove well known for its fishing.

The game warden asked Bubba, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"No, sir, I don’t have a license, but these are my pet fish. Every night I take them to the lake and let them swim around for a while. Then I whistle and they jump back into this ice chest."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" said the warden.

Bubba looked at the game warden and said, "It's the truth, I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay," said the game warden, "I've got to see this!"

Bubba poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well? When are you going to call the fish back?"

"What fish?" asked Bubba.
