You were sexting or reading sports scores during class, weren't you?

I didn't realize Brett Favre was a follower of this, the world's worstTM AAR!

One time, before they threw me out for counting cards, I was invted to this big Super Bowl party at the Mirage in LV. Everything is free. Free call drinks, free buffet with crab legs and prime rib, half naked women all over the place, big screens. The game was lousy but otherwise it was a blast. Betting on every rdiciulous thing you could imagine, first punt, first first down yada, yada.

So at half time they have a free raffle and are giving away really cool sports stuff, historic baseball cards, lots of signed stuff. Finally they pull out a Packers helmet, worn by a famous Packer in a big game. They have this 20 something 10/10 blonde with silicone enhancement announcing the prizes...."Here is a Green Bay Packer helmet worn in.. (I think it was a Pro-Bowl but I'm not sure..she didn't say that I just can't remember the game)...and personally autographed by................<15-20 second pause>............BRETT FAVOR*


* It just occured to me the Favre incident might have been at a New Years Eve party but I did go to a really cool Super Bowl party there...I think the Chargers were playing. I am blanking on where the Favre thing was given out but I am sure about the blonde part and there were definitely half naked women at the Super Bowl thing.

I actually do have some "saddle shoes"...but they have golf cleats in them.


Three doctors are out hunting together in a blind.

A duck comes by and the internist stands up and says, "Duck, rule out chicken, rule out goose...BLAM!"

Another duck comes by and the psychiatrist stands up and says, "How does it feel to be a duck......BLAM!"

A third duck comes by and the surgeon stands up, "BLAM...what was that?"

Although well-intentioned, like so many other gov't mandates, HIPPA has caused more problems that it was worth: just try getting a patient update, even in person and even if you're a blood relative.

Patient: I could use a ham on rye, hold the mustard.
Therapist: It's evident that a quantity of libidinal striving has been displaced to a regressive object with relative fixation in the anal-sadistic model.
Patient:  What do you suggest?
Therapist:  Perhaps a valve-job and tune-up.

Now back to the different types of physicians...also from THoIR: John J. Secondi, M.D.

The Psychiatrist:
Spotting a psychiatrist on the street is easy enough, but as he wanders on the wards of a state hospital, he may need a name tag.  Psychiatrists either avert their eyes from you or stare right through you, whichever makes you more uncomfortable.  If they sense that you're going to ask a question, they slip one in first.  They never use complete sentences, only clauses and long words.  I know a psychiatrist who begins every sentence with the word "that" and ends it with an exact quotation of Plato.  the main object a shrink has in mind when he sees a patient is not to rescue the patient's sanity, but to prove his.  After all, how many surgeons do you know who have five years of operations on themselves before they can practice?

Today's phychiatric resident may have elbow-length hair, wear rings in one ear, and go to work in purple satin capes.  This kind of psychiatrist has not hit Park Avenue yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Dear Chickenboy;


Thank you for your kind offer. Fortunately, the doctors don't think Captain Mandrake's epic pipe-laying ability will be affected. It seems the PVC glue didn't stick to the titanium plate he has in his skull.

I was somewhat unhappy to learn that my Christams gift didn't have the ceramic band because the bastard told me it did.

I'm a bit worried about you guys- does laying pipe mean something of a sexual nature over your way?
Because here it means ........how can I put this delicately...... extruding a prodigous quantity of solid waste from your nether regions, preferably in on contiguous section.

Yes, I would recommend definitions be established for "pipe laying " versus "bottom dwelling".
