    Good morning all at AD. We had one hell of a thunderstorm last night in Siler City, NC. We did need the rain, it woke me up, a biggie.

    gerry, listen to his stories as much as you can, I lost my dad when I was very young, still remember him like it was yesterday and miss the stories.

    To all, have a nice day. George

    @Onya ... thanks my friend. Of all my aunts, uncles, cousins etc. (we have a huge family) my dad is everyone's favorite. We still joke with him about my mom, who was much more proper than dad; her most frequent and memorable words at the table were to my dad. She would always tell him "T'es plus pire que les enfants" ... "You're even worse than the kids" LOL!

    Good morning all! Busy day today but at least the ol' bones don't hurt much today!

    @Billyboy...good for you, meboy! Beautiful language, French is and much more sensible than English. I'd love to hear French with a british accent LOL! The funniest though was when I went to Montreal last and went to a Chinese restaurant. French with a Chinese accent sound really bizarre LOL!

    Can you cry under water?

    How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

    Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

    Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

    Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

    What disease did cured ham actually have?

    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

    Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

    If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

    Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
    They're going to see you naked anyway.

    Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

    Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

    If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there
    a stupid song about him?

    Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

    If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

    Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
    They're both dogs!

    If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap,
    why didn't he just buy dinner?

    If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

    If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

    Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
    have the same tune?

    Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

    Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside
    the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

    Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face,
    he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride,
    he sticks his head out the window?

    Do you ever wonder why you gave me
    your e-mail address in the first place?

    BBQ Rules!

    We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

    When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

    Routine...

    (1) The woman buys the food.
    (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

    (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

    Here comes the important part:

    (4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

    More routine....

    (5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

    (6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

    Important again:

    (7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

    More routine....

    (8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
    (9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

    And most important of all:
    (10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.


    (11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

    LOL! I guess the "dangerous" part is when the male actually lights the grille; a mushroom cloud of nearly nuclear proportion!

    Good morning all!
