Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A desperate woman was about to jump off a cliff.

An old homeless man passing by said, "Well, since you'll be gone in a few minutes anyway, how about a quickle before you go?"

She yelled, NO! You disgusting old man.

He shrugged and said, "Fine, I'll just wait for you at the bottom."

She didn't jump.

Moral of the story: counseling works! Sometimes all you need is the right kind!

---------

A man and wife were sitting around the breakfast table one morning.

He said to her: "If I were to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell all my stuff."

"Now why would you want me to do something like that?" she asked.

He answered: "I figure that you'd eventually remarry, and I don't want some asshole using my stuff."

She looked at him and said: "What makes you think I'd marry another asshole?"

Libations of Liberty: The Top 10 Historic Drinking Sites in the US

club-hostorical-drinking-dude.jpg

Benjamin Franklin once wrote that the existence of wine is “constant proof that God loves us, and that he loves to see us happy.” As the U.S. nears her 250th birthday, what better way to celebrate than by visiting our historic sites … and grabbing a drink at their accompanying local taverns, saloons, and inns?

The Heritage Foundation recently released the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites, which pinpoints and evaluates museums, battlefields, presidential homes, and the like, scattered across the country. Now, you can journey through the U.S.’ past with this accompanying historic bar crawl guide.

Have you been to any of these watering holes? Any noteworthy ones that you know of that didn't make it to the list?

17 Ugh. Internet "Personnality" update.

S2 Underground continues to skew farther and farther anti-Iran operation. Using the weirdly available "crosshairs" on the jet (I guess an F-35, hard to tell) released by Iran to tell us that airspace is super contested and Iran has systems that can shoot down our stealth 5th aircraft. Strangely S2 didn't even question the validity of the "video" in question. Again, the one released by the Iranian govt. Just put it up there as if it was 100% real and accurate. It's beenn trending this way for a while...and of course he Epsteined during the last 60 seconds of the video.

Shawn Ryan is now choosing he Joe Kent path, or at least trying to hook in that demographic and Valhalla Marine Force Recon (same one who was sure Erica Kirk has a COCK) now says its out of control and the USA as been defeated.

Jimmy Doer? Still a retard. That hasn't changed.

I do it so you don't have to. Did these same services in college wit cocaine when a friend was over-zapped and I'd jump in rolled up bill first to save their lives and take one line for the team.

50 I have been to the Dobbin House Tavern at Gettysburg. Surprisingly, the food was absolutely top notch. It was years ago, but I remember what I had. I full sized chicken roasted over a spit....Hard to screw that up, but it was fantastic, as was their special version of Baked Onion soup which was overloaded with cheese and had chunks of very tender beef througout. Good stuff.

I remember the names of their drinks were creative as well. Stuff like "Gettysburg Mule" "Cannon in the Orchard" names like that.

Well, I've been to the Alamo but not the Menger Hotel, and to the Buffalo Bill Center (if you haven't been to the firearms museum, you should go), but not the Irma Hotel.

The most historic* drinking establishment I've visited is the Turf Tavern in Oxford, England, one of the Inklings' watering holes, also the location where Bill Clinton allegedly "did not inhale."

*Tiger Town Tavern in Clemson probably doesn't qualify, although the Esso Club might; sadly, I have not actually been to the Esso Club.

89 Reading a great book about Stealth development through Lockheed and Northrop, F-117, B-1 and B-2

Also another great book called “Ignition!” about the development of hypergolic rocket fuels. Never realized they had so many, or tried so many anyway, to varying degrees of success. The Air Force wanted the longhairs to develop an additive that would work with gasoline or kerosine.

Apart from that, the author J.D. Clark, could have been a standup comedian. I didn’t understand hardly any of the chemistry involved, but the anecdotes are great.

I'm slowly wading into the stupidity. Here's some things I've seen and noticed.

1. There are a lot more whites than I expected on both CNN and MS Now.
2. Both had a lot of Mueller coverage. Some guy on MS Now commented that whatever our political views, he was a national hero.
3. The Save America Act is referred to as the voter suppression bill on MS Now.
4. Velshi really feels bad for all the poor illegals
5. And in a culture war segment, MS Now was fascinated at how much focus MAGA has been putting on that tiny sliver tranny population. Maybe if they left the kids alone.
6. Both stations are really focusing on gas prices ignoring Biden's time in office. Oh, and TSA.

Trump was his most obvious target in 2017 but he also destroyed lots of other people just for being Trump supporters and his action were defended by the uniparty because he was the holy representative of the FBI. And his corruption goes much further back. Those of us who lived in Boston during the Whitey Bulger years saw it close up.

I saw this proposed as an idea on X/Twitter a day or so ago. I thought: brilliant idea, but of course it will never happen. Then, within 48 hours, Trump announces it. I love this idea and want to marry it. I almost hope that the Dems don't cave, so it will happen.

There are personal dramas, humor provided by Thelma Ritter in a role based on the "unsinkable" Molly Brown, great moments of heroism, and then this quiet moment.

Webb, married for twenty years to Stanwyck, insists on keeping his ten-year-old son when they divorce. His wife wants the boy, and plays her trump card: "He's not your son." He then turns against the boy and intends to disown him . . . until the climactic sinking, where he displays heroism helping women and children into boats. He discovers with pride that the boy has stayed aboard to find him. A steward comes up: "Mr. Sturges, there was a boy looking for you."

"Yes, Harry, I found him. He's my son."

174 Diogenes - it’s called “Stealth” by Peter Westwick. Goes back to the Jack Northrop design of the YB-49 and talks about the development of CAD/CAM for design by the 1980s.

They even tracked down and got one of the original test pilots during the 1940s, who tested the flying wing back then a top secret clearance so he could fly the simulator and see what he thought of the design. The problem they were concerned with was landing something that doesn’t really want to land, ground effect or whatever it’s called. The old guy said they should be good to go. I love stories like that. I bet he got a real kick out of it, too.

177 I think President Trump should have said,"With sadness Mueller is dead." Then laughed and said, "Just kidding!"

There are times he should just say nothing about those who are worth nothing. However, after what he was put through I excuse him for being honest. I'd rather have him any minute of the day than Biden and Corn Pop and Cackling Kam. Love that he laughed that the cardboard mullah was ghey.

I am unsure where I'd be today if Pedomouth was VP.Probably drinking a lot vs remaining a refined lady.

Far too many are ignoring what is happening before a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida. Some have forgotten what it means to be the predator instead of the prey.

For almost 10 years I've heard that Trump doesn't know what he's saying or doing and yet he got elected to be President of the United States. Three times, twice beyond the level of cheat.

Trump fights to win and defends his peeps. By far the best president in my lifetime. Rock on Golden Scalp Weasel.

The old house where I lived in a duplex with nursing classmates is now on the Historic List. Purely because I lived there and we had large keggers.

I plan to knock on the door of the house this September and ask if my bf/husband and I can have a photo on the front porch of our first date (it will be 50yrs). That was historic as well. Plus the hospital elevator where we first met a month prior. Romantic, eh? Don't answer.

She comes back out and the whole bar starts cheering her.

"What's going on?"

"Oh, we have a bell rigged up to ring every time someone lifts up the fig leaf."

Had my (hopefully) last cancer surgery this week. Doc is sure he got it all, though I'll be getting inspected, injected, detected, neglected, and selected for several years to watch for it coming back. I'll probably also have chemo and/or immunotherapy.
