Eventually the conversation moved on to their spouses. One gentleman turned to the fellow on his right and asked, "Roy, aren't you and Bea celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary soon?" "Yup, we sure are," Roy replied. "Well, are you gonna do anything special to celebrate?" another man asked. The old gentleman pondered this for a moment, then replied, "For our 25th anniversary, I took Bea to Mesa. Maybe for our 50th, I'll go down there and bring her back." ____________________________________________________   Am I adopted? ____________________________________________________ Woman's Quote of the Day: "Men are like fine wine.

They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Nathan Danzuka, 28, Madras, Oregon, USA  Prison For Drunken Oregon Motorist Who Set Blood Alcohol Content Record  The drunken Oregon motorist whose blood alcohol content was measured at more than nine times the legal limit-- apparently a U.S. record--has been sentenced to 13 months in prison for his inebriated antics, according to court records. Nathan Danzuka, 28, recently pleaded guilty to DUI, reckless driving, and fleeing charges in connection with a hit-and-run accident (and subsequent police chase) in February in Madras, a city 125 miles southeast of Portland. Danzuka was arrested after crashing his Ford Explorer into a concrete barrier. Police reported finding several alcoholic beverage containers inside the SUV. Danzuka was subsequently transported to a local hospital where a blood sample showed that his blood alcohol level was a staggering .778, more than nine times the legal .08 limit. At time of his arrest, Danzuka was driving on a suspended license due to a prior drunk driving conviction. In addition to his 13-month prison term, Danzuka was sentenced to a years probation and had his drivers license suspended for life, court records show. Pictured above in a Department of Corrections photo, Danzuka is locked up in the Oregon State Penitentiary, a maximum-security institution in Salem. Previously, the highest blood alcohol contents reported by TSG were the .72 recorded by an Oregon woman in 2007 and the .708 recorded by a South Dakota woman in 2009.  
 DearWebby's tech support pits From: Dorothy Re: FB Jail DearWebby What is this "Facebook Jail" all about? Everybody mentions it, but they are all too scared to explainit. What is it? Dorothy  Dear Dorothy The people who manage FaceBook believe that it is a legitimate liberal / Democrat propaganda outlet. If you post facts, that they don't like, then they hide those facts and block you for a few weeks or months. That blocking is what people call FaceBook Jail. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 An obstetrician sometimes saw rather unusual tattoos when working in labor and delivery. One patient had some type of fish tattoo on her abdomen. "That sure is an unusual looking whale," he commented. With a sad smile she replied, "It used to be a dolphin."

"Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?" Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness -- and a great many other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed single." ____________________________________________ Seen on a T-shirt: "I Have a Degree in Liberal Arts - Do You Want Fries With That?" ______________________________________________
