‘My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony, Jim explained. ‘I want to make a perfect shot.’

His companion said, ‘You don’t have a chance in hell of hitting her from here’.

Day Brightener – Seattle Gas Station Sign

Back in 2005, the local Chevron gas station in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood converted their auto repair shop into a convenience store.  Their outdoor sign—once used for service promotions and store specials—became redundant with the inside of the store already plastered with signage.  So the owners decided to have fun with the outdoor sign instead, and the @WallingfordSign  was born.  This weekly sign message has become so popular, it has become a more effective marketing tool for the gas station than anything prior.

Friday Frivolity – Little Johnny At It Again On Dinner Etiquette

SUBJECT: DINNER ETIQUETTE

THE POLITE WAY TO PEE
During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:

Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?

Michael said: Just a minute I have to go pee.

The teacher responded by saying: That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it?

Sherman said: I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. Ill be right back.

That’s better, but it’s still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?

Johnny said: I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.

The teacher fainted.

Day Brightener – It Just Doesn’t Pay To Assume

His request approved, the CNN photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.

He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.

He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, ‘Let’s go’.

The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.

Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, ‘fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.’

‘Why?’ asked the pilot?

‘Because I’m a photographer for CNN’, he responded, ‘and I need to get some close up shots.

The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, ‘So, what you’re telling me, Is . . . You’re NOT my flight instructor?’

Then tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”

His Sicilian wife Maria replied, “The fuckin’ funeral director would be my first guess”.
