Given The Last Few Days A Day Brightener – At Least For Those Of Us That Are Not In Minnesota

Snowplow 2August 12–Moved to our new home in Minnesota. It’s so beautiful here. The trees and hills are so wonderful. I can hardly wait to see them covered with snow. I love it here.

October 14–Minnesota is the most beautiful place on Earth. Went for a ride in my new car to a state park and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly the most wonderful animals on Earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.

December 2–Deer season will start soon. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous animal. Hope it snows soon. I love it here.

December 12–It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything covered in a blanket of white. It looks like a post card. Went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snowplow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Minnesota.

December 19–More snow fell last night. I couldn’t get out of the driveway to go skiing. I am exhausted from shoveling. Damn snow plow.

December 22–More of that white shit fell last night. I got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think that damn snow plow hides behind the corner and waits until I finish shoveling. ASS HOLE!

December 25–Merry fucking Christmas! More damn snow. If I ever get my hands on that son of a bitch that drives that snow plow, I swear I’ll strangle the living shit out of the bastard. I don’t know why they don’t use more salt on the roads to melt the frickin ice.

December 27–More fucking white shit last night. Been inside for three days except for shoveling the driveway after that shitload of a snowplow goes through every time. Can’t go anywhere, the car’s stuck in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says to expect another 10″ of that shit again tonight. Do you know how many damn shovels full of snow are in a frickin 10″?

December 28–The fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34″ of that white shit this time. At this fricking rate, it won’t melt before next summer. The snow plow got stuck up the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. I told him that I had already broken two shovels while shoveling all of that shit he pushed into the driveway. I broke my last shovel over his damn head. Fucking Minnesotan!

January 4–Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a damned deer ran in front of my car and I hit it. Did about $3000 damage to the car. Those damn beasts should be killed. Wish the frickin hunters had killed them all last November.

Day Brightener – Quotes About Alcohol

beer 2“Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, “It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.” – Babe Ruth

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” – Lyndon B. Johnson

“When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.” – Paul Horning

 “24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.” – H. L. Mencken

“When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!” – George Bernard Shaw

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” – Benjamin Franklin

“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” – Dave Barry

“Remember “I” before “E,” except in Budweiser.” – Professor Irwin Corey

“To some it’s a six-pack, to me it’s a Support Group. Salvation in a can!” – Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers (TV Sitcom), Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson: “Well, ya see, Norm, it’s like this…A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! ; In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

Day Brightener – Better Than A Flu Shot

GrandmaMiss Beatrice, the Church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.

One afternoon the vicar came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea… As he sat facing her old​ ​Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!

When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The Pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. ‘Miss Beatrice’, he said, ‘I wonder if you could tell me about this? ‘Pointing to the bowl.

‘Oh, yes,’ she replied, ‘isn’t it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven’t had a cold or the flu all winter.’

If you don’t send this to five GOOD friends right away there will be five fewer people smiling in the world.

Day Brightener – Justice

Bench 2Jim and Bob, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Jim didn’t show up. Bob didn’t think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.. But after Jim hadn’t shown up for a week or so, Bob really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Bob didn’t know where Jim lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Bob figured he had seen the last of Jim, but one day Bob approached the park and– lo and behold!–there sat Jim! Bob was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, ‘For crying out loud Jim, what in the world happened to you?’

Jim replied, ‘I have been in jail.’

‘Jail!’ cried Bob. What in the world for?

‘Well,’ Jim said, ‘you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?

‘Yeah,’ said Bob, ‘I remember her….. What about her?

‘Well, the little gold-digging witch figured I was rich and she filed rape charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded ‘guilty’.

‘The judge gave me 30 days for perjury.’
