This looks interesting, but I don’t think there is a frame strong enough to sustain bumps at that speed.

I hate it when that happens

A guy is out at a local bar having a drinks. Since it was getting late, he decides that it time to pay the check and head home.

He gets off the bar stool and immediately falls flat on his face. “What the heck? I didn’t have that many drinks,” he asks.

A couple of his buddies drag him outside, thinking that the fresh night air will do the trick. But, as soon as they let go, he falls down.

So, they decide to call him a cab and send him home.

The cabbie drops him off at his house, and STILL he can’t make it two steps without falling down. He crawls into his house, and finds his way to bed.

The next morning, he awakens to his wife saying, “rough night, huh honey.”

“What? How do you know already?”

“The bar just called — you forgot your wheelchair again.”

(Editor’s note: The author claims that this is just a story, and has never actually happened to him.)

A regular foursome sits down at the bar after their round of golf. the bartender has already started pouring their drinks…

Bartender: Hey guys, how was your round of golf today?
Player #1: It was awful — it took 3 times longer than normal. There was this group in front of us that was slower than molasses and they never offered to let us play through
Bartender: Was it that group over there in the corner?
(they all nod)
Player #1: How the hell do they have the nerve to show their faces here? Arrogant SOBs.
Bartender: Well you see guys, they are all blind. They put a noisemaker on the hole and do it all by sound.
Player #1: Oh my God, that is the most inspiring thing I have heard all week — put their next round of drinks on my tab.
Player #2: WOW is all I can say — tell them their dinner is on me.
Player #3: Man o’ man, I think that is amazing and want to encourage it — tell them the next time they play is on me.
Player #4: Fuck ‘em. Let them play at night.

Staffing the Whitehouse

In a recent issue of the New Yorker, there was an article on humorous political speechwriters.

Someone said that writing funny speeches for Jimmy Carter was analogous to being a tapdance instructor for FDR.

James Carville has a way with words

Back in 2000, a Republican friend of mine warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we’d lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched.

You know what?

I did vote for Al Gore, he did win, and I’ll be damned if all those things didn’t come true.

–James Carville, Democratic strategist
