A rich lady from California, who was a tree-hugger
and a vociferous anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timbered land in
Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract.
She
wanted to get a good view of her land, so she started to climb the big
tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a Spotted Owl that attacked
her.
In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree to the ground and got
many splinters in her private parts in the process.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest country Doctor. Being a
hunter himself, the doctor listened to her story with great patience, and
then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could
help her. She sat and waited for three long hours before the Doctor
reappeared.
The angry lady demanded, "What took you so long?"
He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of
Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational
area, and I'm sorry to report they all turned me down."

excel......All pro ball teams suk! With the exception of the Arizona Diamondbacks, now with that being said I believe the baseball thread should be named THE ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS THREAD. As for the rest of the teams their just TURD SNIFFIN DOGS!
Tis the truth for sure.
After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim
woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered an
American citizen wrote this editorial that was published in a Tampa
newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
>IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about
whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the
terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by
the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely
settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the
possibility that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is
seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost
entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few
things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some
born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural
community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national
identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own
language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over
centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women
who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our
society, learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right
wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and
women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our
schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the
world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you
should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are
happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't
care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land,
and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every! citizen the right to
express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But
once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our
pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take
advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!
What a woman says: "This place is a mess! C'mon, you and I need to clean up, Your stuff is lying on the floor and you'll have no clothes to wear, if we don't do laundry right now!?"
What a man hears: "blah, blah, blah, blah, C'MON blah, blah, blah, blah, YOU AND I blah, blah, blah, blah, ON THE FLOOR blah, blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES blah, blah, blah, blah, RIGHT NOW!"
gp.....You can't throw him out of a plane without a parachute...........tied to his wanker!
k2.....I can't believe you would propose dumping gas on him and lighting him on fire, that's mindless! They should just put it on his legs and then light him on fire, that way he lives for a few hours, in pain I might add! From now on I suggest you think these things out before you post......sheesh!
That sounds pretty much like it is at my house.......
Who called you? There's not a welfare office within ten miles of here.
sukass, You and bullpinch just got tossed and I urge everyone to do the same. Your only agenda here is to disrupt.......see ya in jail!
Pretty tough talk from such a f'n little twit!
yakety yak he whacked his mack.......
this was a pm...... LOL
My neck only swells from the jalapeno suppositories! Them things will make your butt pucker up so tight you can't get a needle in it...........
trky.....Please please take a GOOD DIGITAL CAMERA (5 Mega pixal) you are going to need to post them pics.....I'm excited for you*
Pass me a tissue.......
ONE....Me gots a new note book p4, 2.4 w/512, wireless, dvd & burner.......I is playin wiff it, it's way cool!
You are a freakin insult....You leave here for a week and we have to fend for our selfs, then you show back up as if nothing ever happened.....The nerve of you!

Johnny PayCheck Dies
Feb 19, 5:08 PM EST
NASHVILLE (AP) -- Country singer Johnny PayCheck, the hard-drinking hell-raiser best known for his 1977 working man's anthem "Take This Job and Shove It," has died at 64.
PayCheck had been bedridden in a nursing home with emphysema and asthma. He died Tuesday, Grand Ole Opry spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said.
Specializing in earthy, plainspoken songs, PayCheck recorded 70 albums and had more than two dozen hit singles. His biggest hit was "Take This Job and Shove It," which inspired a movie by that name, and a title album that sold 2 million copies.
His other hits included "Don't Take Her, She's All I Got," (which was revived 25 years later in 1996 by Tracy Byrd), "I'm the Only Hell Mama Ever Raised," "Slide Off Your Satin Sheets," "Old Violin" and "You Can Have Her."
"My music's always been about life. And situations. Situation comedies, situation life," he said in 1997.
Born Donald Eugene Lytle on May 31, 1938, in Greenfield, Ohio, he took the name Johnny Paycheck in the mid-1960s about a decade after moving to Nashville to build a country music career. He began capitalizing the "c" in PayCheck in the mid-1990s.
PayCheck's career was interrupted from 1989 to 1991 when he served two years in prison for shooting a man in the head in an Ohio bar in 1985.
He and another ex-convict, country star Merle Haggard, performed at the Chillicothe Correctional Institute in Ohio while PayCheck was imprisoned there.
"I heard from fans constantly throughout the entire two years," PayCheck said after his release. "The letters never stopped, from throughout the world. I looked forward to mail call every day."
Ohio Gov. Richard Celeste commuted PayCheck's seven-to-nine-year sentence for aggravated assault, and the singer returned to his career.
His brush with the law wasn't his first. He was court-martialed and imprisoned for two years in the 1950s for slugging a naval officer.
He was sued by the Internal Revenue Service in 1982 for $103,000 in back taxes. This landed him in bankruptcy in 1990, when he listed debts of more than $1.6 million, most of it owed to the IRS.
After his prison release, he seemed to put his life in order. He gave anti-drug talks to young people and became a regular member of the Grand Ole Opry cast in 1997.
Still, PayCheck said when people came to hear him play, they still expected to see the whiskey-drinking, cocaine-using, wild-eyed performer with unkempt hair and a surly frown — a reputation he built early in his career.
"They still remember me as that crazy, good-time-Charlie honky-tonker, and I don't tell 'em any different," he said after his Opry induction.
PayCheck was playing the guitar by age 6 and singing professionally by age 15. After a stint in the Navy in the mid-1950s, he moved to Nashville and found work as a bass player for Porter Wagoner, Ray Price, Faron Young and George Jones.
He recorded for Decca and Mercury records as Donny Young until he renamed himself and built success first as a songwriter and then as a singer.
One of his early compositions was "Apartment 9," recorded in 1966 by Tammy Wynette.
In 2002, a PayCheck compilation album, "The Soul & the Edge: The Best of Johnny PayCheck," was released.
PayCheck and his wife, Sharon, were married more than 30 years. They had one son.
