Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A woman cheats on her husband after years of happy marriage.

Realizing her mistake, she starts praying to God. "Lord, I know what I did was wrong, but my marriage is the only thing that gives my life purpose and joy. Please, don't let my husband find out."

Suddenly she hears a voice from above: "Okay my child, it will be, but on one condition: years from now, you will die by drowning."

The woman hesitates at first but then responds, "Alright Lord, if it means he'll never find out, then so be it."

The next years of her life are happy and wonderful. She starts a successful business and lives in comfort with her husband, however, she continues to cheat on him many times, having forgotten her conversation with God.

One day she decides to book herself a vacation on a cruise ship. A few days into the voyage, a loud BOOM rocks the cruise ship, and it starts to sink. Suddenly remembering her agreement with God, she is struck with grief and begins frantically praying to God again:

"God, you're not gonna drown an entire cruise ship full of people because of me, right?"

She hears a familiar voice: "Are you kidding me? I've been working to gather all you cheaters here for years."

***

At a meeting, the corporate manager told a joke. Everyone on the team laughed except for one guy.

"Didn't you understand my joke?" the manager asked him.

"Oh, I understood it, but I resigned yesterday."

Do not do this.

This may or may not be a true story. At some point, nobody really cares because it is just plausible enough that it could be true.

Club ONT Sports Coverage

The 2025 event was held last weekend, but the 2023 video coverage is more fun.

Club ONT Entertainment Trivia

This is all true:

The actor's name is Sorrell Booke. He was also valedictorian of his high school class and reportedly shared the stage with Paul Newman at Yale. He appeared in a number of film and television shows and did voice roles on many occasions. Name a 1970s television show and he likely made an appearance.

He wore padding for the Boss Hogg role to appear more girthy. He copied his character's southern accent from U.S. senators Sam Ervin and Strom Thurmond.

Two voice roles of note were animated features: "Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" (1987) as Sheriff Rufus Buzby / T.J. Buzby and "Yogi and the Invasion of the Space Bears" (198 as Mountain Bear. Why are they of note? They couldn't be more different than Boss Hogg.

Club ONT Wall of Shame

Florida man arrested for allegedly driving lawn mower drunk down busy highway

The Florida Highway Patrol stated that the trooper immediately observed signs of impairment in Spain, including pinpoint pupils, flushed skin, a dry mouth, and irritation on the inside of his nose.
The alleged drunk driver also kept sniffling, spitting and clearing his throat while talking with the officer.
The trooper then attempted to give him a field sobriety test multiple times, but Spain wasn't having it and became uncooperative after the third attempt.

91 For some ungodly reason, Southern Comfort and Coke was the go-to drink when I was in high school, so I've had more than a few of those.

I always did kinda sneer at it. I got my start with straight bourbon in junior high... my buddy's stepfather used to keep a bottle of either Old Crow or Old Grandad in the fridge (depending on which happened to be on sale), and we'd sneak shots on a fairly regular basis. Looking back on it, I'm sure the old man knew we were doing it. Never said a word, though.

The same dude taught us to shoot craps. Probably not what most people would consider a Positiive Role Model for Youth. I liked him, though.

92 The one brain MRI I had revealed that I have a Chiari malformation, wherein part of my cerebellum is extruded out of my skull. It appears to be benign in my case, as I've never had any of the symptoms typically associated with them. (I was having an MRI prior to surgery.) My oldest also has one (also found in his pre-surgery MRI). (His ENT said we should keep an eye on it, whereas mine was like "whatever, you're fine")

So, "unremarkable" might have been better...

111 Handmaid's Tale was written by Margaret Atwood. I'd heard (here at AoS) that she visited Islamic world, and that was the source for her "Tale". But (I guess since Islamists would murder her for revealing them) she made the story about Christians.

Speaking of model kits. Sprue Brothers is having a 20% off sale for all Hobby Boss kits.

Word of caution though, read the reviews before buying any Hobby Boss kit except for their FW 190/Ta 152 kits.

Their F6F Hellcat kits have a fuselage so oversized, John Belushi or a Sumo wrestler could climb inwith room to spare. Their A-4 Skyhawks strangely lack the deployable leading edge slats that even ESCI has on their A-4 kits. The F-105 kits have this maddening gap between the cockpit side consoles and the fuselage sides. The TBF-1C kit tells you to install drop tanks under the wings, the Avenger never carried external drop tanks.

I remember back in the Area 51 peak hype days, when Art Bell was at his peak, there was some desert rat type who, just for fun, messed around with the base security.

He wouldn't cross any line, literally or figuratively, but he'd get as close to it as possible, which would bring out the "camo guys". He started taking pictures of them, telephoto lens and all that, and would post it on his blog.

He stopped doing that when a couple of those guys came up to him in bar in Vegas one night. They plead their case: listen, we're just grunts doing our job. We don't have anything to do with any aliens or have any clue what really goes on there. We're just security. When you post our pictures, we get in trouble and can lose our jobs. So please, stop.

He did.

195 The one brain MRI I had revealed that I have a Chiari malformation, wherein part of my cerebellum is extruded out of my skull. It appears to be benign in my case, as I've never had any of the symptoms typically associated with them. (I was having an MRI prior to surgery.) My oldest also has one (also found in his pre-surgery MRI). (His ENT said we should keep an eye on it, whereas mine was like "whatever, you're fine")

So, "unremarkable" might have been better...

Thank you! Next time I talk to the Np or the Cardio Doc, I am going to suggest that I just take a 2 week holiday from all the damned pills. No BP pill, no statin, no aspirin, no Metformin, no beta blocker. Zilch. Let my system stabilize, see how my heart behaves, and run blood tests to see how the numbers are. Then add the meds back, one by one, as needed by the blood tests. None of the conditions addressed by the meds are immediately life-threatening, but having my heart go wonky certainly could be. Let's eliminate those variables that we can eliminate, and see what happens.

274 The Chinese sent an ice breaker into our Arctic waters above what used to be called Barrow. I refuse to call the Utkiavic or whatever in hell they renamed it, because everybody knows where Barrow is. Anyway, our Coasties suggested the ice breaker fuck right off.

Fukin' Chinese assholes. If they aren't stealing our fish, they are cracking open our ice.

We have also seen more than the usual close encounters with Russian planes "near" our airspace up here. They test the limits every once in a while but apparently this is becoming a thing. Our Air Force dudes also remind them to fuck right off, so there's that.

There was a time when the folks on Shemya used to wave hi to the various Russians on the edge of our airspace, since it was a mutual thing and nobody much cared. I suspect that time is over.

They said "PVC", premature ventricular contraction. Evidently a nerve node in my left ventricle fires on its own, causing the ventricle to contract out of sequence, creating a "null heartbeat", resulting in my measured heart rate being half normal. I was watching the heart monitor last evening, and said to the nurse, "so is that down-going jag on the trace the PVC indicator"? And she said, "yes, it is."

Yes. I feel "palpitations" wherein I can sense my own (slow) heartbeat. The beats between the "skipped" ones are extra strong to compensate, I guess.

Interesting animation from the GOES-19 satellite on Jul 24 during the new Moon. There was a CME right when the Moon entered the frame:

GOES-19 is in geostationary orbit, and has a coronagraph that is locked to the Sun. SOHO is going to be retired this year, and this will help until the replacements get going.

Monsoon season. So, it rains cubic tons of water every year.

They never stopped bitching when India cut their water off.
They haven't built any dams, reservoirs or made other provision to supply themselves with water (it's not on the wiki or worldpopulationreview.com lists) desalination plants.

Multiple museums are open, with stream powered tractors, threshers, vintage fire engines, trains, trolleys, logging equipment, blacksmith demonstrations, and more. Went today with my husband for the first time and I felt like the proverbial kid in a candy store. The location is called Antique Powerland. Well worth the trip!
