My coffee hasn't kicked in yet, so this is what you get

From my dad, purveyor of all things e-mail forwarding:

When everyone on earth was dead, and waiting to enter Paradise, God appeared and said:

"I want the men to make two lines."

"One line for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were dominated by their women and I want all the women to report to St. Peter."

Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men.

The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man.

God said, 'You men should be ashamed of yourselves, I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose!

Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him.

With that, God turned to the one man and asked, 'How did you manage to be the only one in this line?'

And, the man replied, 'My wife told me to stand here.'

Shiba Inu Puppy Cam Spoof

By now, most people know about the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam craze.

If not, then you simply must go see the puppy cam, you will be hooked unless your heart is made of stone.

Yes, you in the back, I already know you're cold hearted, you get a pass.

I am so sad to see the crate, it looks like they'll go to their new homes soon.

Anyway, I darn nearly choked on my coffee when Newscoma pointed to the Shiba Inu Dude Cam.

25 Skills Every Woman Should Know

The Interwebs is ablaze with commentary on 25 Skills Every Man Should Know.

While I am, apparently at least somewhat a man, I really think the important list is 25 Skills Every Woman Should Know

How to:

1. Take off a bra through a shirt sleeve
2. Select the right color foundation
3. Choose the proper people to accompany you to the bathroom at the bar
4. Change purses with the seasons
5. Describe the difference between the colors "off white", "bone", and "cream"
6. Call someone to change a tire
7. Mix patterns on furniture and clothing
8. Select a trashy novel for reading at the beach
9. Keep kids busy in order to go to the bathroom alone
10. Tell the difference between real Coach purses, and, knock-offs

11. Prepare an elegant appetizer from random pantry supplies for unannounced company
12. Drive someplace unfamiliar at night in the rain
13. Respond to a child's midnight announcement of, "I have to bring 75 brownies to school tomorrow."
14. Find the nearest outlet mall
15. Discuss the differences between capris and cropped pants
17. Filch the phone number of a good babysitter from the neighbor
18. Get makeup off a cell phone screen
19. Extract the good candy from the Halloween bags without the kids noticing
20. Make him think it's his idea
21. Actually download pictures from the digital camera
22. Create 3 or more plausible reasons to "stop by Target"
23. Make store bought bake sale goodies look home made
24. Drive in the snow
25. Surprise a child by going to Sonic for a "treat" without him knowing it's because you need a Diet Coke

OK, maybe not as pertinent as the original list, but still, a sampling of some mad skillz for wimmens, no?

Poor Ed

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.

His wife was really angry.

She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds

AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work.

When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box, gift wrapped, in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.

She opened it and found...

Yet more from the Easily Amused Files

Am I the last person ever to discover BuzzWhack? Why didn't ya'll tell me about it? I love stuff like this.

Some of my favorites:

cellular Macarena: The dance that occurs when a cellular phone rings in a public place. Everyone reaches for their coat pocket, front pants pocket, back pants pocket, etc.

carbon-based error: Error caused by a human, not a computer

mandatory fun: A celebratory business event that holds no interest for you but requires attendance since names are being taken.

meeting moth: An executive who flits from meeting to meeting, but seldom acts on the items discussed in them.

Bluetooth fairy: Someone who spends his or her day with the blinking glow of a Bluetooth headset plugged into one ear.

bobbleheading: The mass nod of agreement by participants in a meeting to comments made by the boss even though most have no idea what he just said.

Targasm: Tingly sensation shoppers get when they find something really, really good at Target.

plutoed: To be unceremoniously dumped or relegated to a lower position without an adequate reason or explanation.

non-concur: Bureaucratic word choice that allows one to avoid uttering something as definitive as "disagree." The ultimate obfuscation -- "Yes, I do not non-concur."

recipe malpractice: Reminder that just because you know how to turn on a stove doesn't mean you're a chef.

If I could walk like that, I wouldn't need a podiatrist

That would be a trick

Is it bad that I read this headine as "testicles"? That would put a different spin on the story, huh?

She'll be here all week, folks

Nothing new here in hospital land, but, I forgot to tell you a story:

On the way to the doctor this afternoon, my mother and I passed the park where various tents and things we being set up. We got caught at a stop light near a far corner of the park where there was an impressive line-up of Porta Potties.

Me: "I didn't realize the craft fair was this weekend."
My mother: "Looks more like a crap fair, to me."

What will they think of next?

Overheard on the shuttle this morning:

Girl: "Wow, you have a laptop computer?"
Guy: 'Yeah, but it doesn't have a battery so I have to plug in in. It doesn't have wireless either, so, I have to plug it in to the Internet. It's kind of heavy, too."
Girl: "So, it's like a very small desktop, then?"

Things that are best heard in context

As a result of our Sports-a-Palooza this weekend, we have several colors of pom poms or shakers in the house. At the game Saturday night (shut up, I still don't want to talk about it), Busy Boy busied himself with rolling up souvenir posters so they could be an extension to his shaker handle, thus impairing the vision of not only the fans in the row behind us, but probably the row behind them as well.

As of yesterday evening, he was still at it and the posters were connected to each other with duct tape. He decided his work was complete by exclaiming, "There! Now I can stick any color shaker I want into my hole."
