Reverse Game Wednesday

Mother of Six

Joe was proud of his family of six children. He frequently referred to his wife as "Mother of Six," much to her annoyance. Finally, she cured him of his habit. At the end of a big party, Joe called out loud enough for everyone to hear: "Ready to go, Mother of Six?"

 

"Any time you are," she replied, "Father of Four."

Other Keystone Cops

It's getting harder to root for the cops everyday.  They shoot people illegally and get away with.  They harass people and get away with it.  They crash their $300,000 spy plane into their own SWAT tank.  On one hand it's a tremendous waste of taxpayers dollars, on the other its comforting to know that the cops are too stupid to know how to use the newest toy designed to suppress civilians civil liberates.

In Other News

I didn't believe it but there is a place named White Settlement Texas.  How Racess is that?  I think the headline speaks for it's self.  Burglary Suspect Arrested, Escapes In Police Car.

I'd hate to think of myself as soft on crime, but if you can escape the cops in their own car, maybe you should get a pass, just this once.


Oh, and I thought my job was unrewarding.

NFL, Adults Need Not Apply

I don't follow professional sports so, most of the time I skip anything in the news about the teams, or whatever jackass stunt someone on one them pulled that made the news.  I couldn't help notice two stories were running today.  The first one that caught my eye was titled:  Cowboys Mull Device to Stop Drunk Drivers.  Because I live in the Cowboy state, I thought this might be some lame brain scheme someone in Cheyenne came up with to line their corrupt little pockets at tax payer expense.  I was surprised to learn that the article was really about the Dallas Cowboys trying to come up with some method of keeping their players from driving drunk and wrecking their expensive sports cars.

The second article was ‘At Least Seven’ NFL Players Turn In Guns.  Apparently there is a brewhaha going on about some Football player that shot someone and now everyone in the NFL is supposed to feel bad about owing guns.  I Googled "percentage of nfl players with felonies"  which interestingly enough came up as an auto fill as I typed the query.  However, I wasn't able to get anything resembling a reliable answer to the question in less than 10 mins of searching, I gave up.

A couple of thoughts: First if you're an NFL player, or just a member of the general public who wants to give up his gun(s), shoot me an email.  I promise that I will find your gun a loving home that will care for it and appreciate it for what it is.  Second, the average pay for NFL players is north of $750,000/year, you'd think for that kind of money they could hire adults that are capable of making mature decisions about what they own, how they live and what choices they make, without burdening anyone else with their existence.

Alone

The wife and kids took off to spend a couple of weeks with the grandparents for Christams.  The house is quiet.  The dog is greatful no one is pulling on her ears.  My honey do list is long and I miss the kids already.

Twofer

Clark Kent takes direction from his hat: It’s his Super visor.

Wedding Verses

A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the bakery to inscribe the wedding cake with "1 John 4:18" which reads "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."

The bakery evidently lost, smudged or otherwise misread the noted reference, and beautifully inscribed on the cake "John 4:18":

"For you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband."
