MM, I must…nay I’m compelled to, in the spirit of the season, fess up and confess that I exercised a little poetic license in my comment to you above…the truth is that I fabricated the whole “flipped off…” incident…I suspect/think its proably not the first that has happend around here…but in fairness to me I saw a golden opportunity to work it in and I did…the truth is that this is actually a title of a twangy ole country song that goes…

…” I was just flipped off by a silver haired old lady with a Come to Jusus sticker on the bumper of her car ” as sung by…it gets better… Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours (proud Kelts all)…first herd it as bumper music on Click and Clack…almost drove off the road…can’t get the flippen tune out of my head…you got to love these guys.

I knew a guy who had bought a talking parrot for a pet, only to find out after he brought the bird home that it had the foulest mouth you ever heard. It would go around all the time saying “I want a damn cracker!”, and the negative reinforcement tactic of saying “NO” and removing the birdfeed wasn’t working. After a long day at work the guy had his minister over for dinner, and the parrot made the mistake of saying “Hey, Reverend! Gimme a damn cracker!” The guy lost it, grabbed the parrot by the legs, slapped it upside the head and threw it in the freezer.

The parrot got up, shook its head and turned around to see that it had landed on the Thanksgiving turkey, whereupon its eyes got as wide as they could get.

“Sweet Jesus and All the Saints! What the hell did you say, ‘Frak’?!?”

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A challenge to the group, then. Most jokes are variants on a theme, so here’s a joke about truck drivers and I’m curious if there is a Naval equivalent, a Chief would be good.

Did ya hear about the truck driver who was busted for hauling 300lbs of dope?

Trooper pulled him over, he was overweight, they wanted to inspect the load. So they cut the seal on the trailer and opened the doors and a big ol’ J.B. Hunt driver fell right on out…

I had that happen when I was still in, oh, 36 years ago.

Reminds me of the guy who practiced his bagpipe playing under an old Banyan tree out by the back gate of NAS Barbers Pt back in the ’70s. He could be seen (and heard)most mornings. When I had the time, I would stop and listen. He seemed to appreciate the audience.
