  2. Subject: Have you ever danced? >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio >, Texas leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon >in town, to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old >mule to the hitch rail.

Everybody was laughing, fit >to be tied. >> >> When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, >still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. > The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and >cocked both hammers.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the >large gaping holes of those twin barrels. >> >> The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's >hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?" > >> >> The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... >but... I've always wanted to." >> >> There are a few lessons for us all here: >> >> >> Never be arrogant. >> Don't waste ammunition. >> Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are. >> Always, always make sure you know who has the power. >> Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old >by being stupid . >> >> I just love a story with a happy ending , don't >you? >> >> >>
  3. jean-guy, My French is not very good, actually I don't know any French at all.ha ha You are a very humble kind person that gives a lot to this site and the the snowmobiling community. You came out to meet me and my Dad with trail passes on a Sunday evening!! and stayed for over an hour talking about were we should ride and what to look for etc. I would personally be honored to chip in because I too enjoy giving to a great cause. Please reconsider, Bob

  10. Ian, My Dad and I just got back from Gaspe, groomer set us up with some great and very useful info. We did 315 miles in two days. Not bad for a 70 year old and a 50 year old that feels 79. LOL!!

  16. Not sure what the official amounts were but pretty close to 30" here in Falls Church VA, just 10 miles outside of Washington, DC Me digging out with a Bobcat MT55, much better than the shovel, BUT no where near as fun as having someone else do it while I go snowmobiling in QC!!!
  17. Three rednecks were working up on a cell phone tower: Cooter, Ronnie and Donnie. As they start their descent, Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, 'Well, shucks, someone should go and tell his wife. Donnie says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.' Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser. Ronnie says, 'Where did you get that beer, Donnie?' 'Cooter's wife gave it to me,' Ronnie replies. 'That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?' 'Well, not exactly', Donnie says. 'When she answered the door, I said to her, "you must be Cooter's widow." She said, 'You must be mistaken. I'm not a widow.' Then I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are.' You know, Rednecks are good at sensitive stuff. ******************************************************************************** ********************************************** Two couples were playing poker one evening. Jim accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed Bob's wife, Sue wasn't wearing any underwear under her dress! Shocked by this, Jim upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced. Later, Jim went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bob's wife followed and asked, 'Did you see anything that you like under there?' Surprised by her boldness, Jim admitted that, well, indeed he did. She said, 'Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500....' After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer, Jim confirmed that he was interested. Sue told him that since her husband Bob worked Friday afternoons and Jim didn't, Jim should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon. When Friday rolled around, Jim showed up at Bob's house at 2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 - they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed. Jim quickly dressed and left. As usual, Bob came home from work at 6 p.m. And upon arriving, asked his wife: 'Did Jim come by the house this afternoon?' With a lump in her throat Sue answered 'Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon.' Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, 'And did he give you $500?' Sue, using her best poker face, replied, 'Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500.' Bob, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, 'He came by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back.'

  19. The economy is so bad that: I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them. Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. Big oil laid off 25 Congressmen. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal.. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear! And, finally... I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.. = -- I'm not as good as I should be I'm not as good as I could be I'm not as good as I wanta be BUT PRAISE GOD I'm better than I use to be
