A phone call from a friend I haven't heard from in a little while.

Nothing yet, it's only 8:30am.

This ....




Two elderly friends, Larry and Ken, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Larry didn't show up. Ken didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something. But after Larry hadn't shown up for a week or so, Ken really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Ken didn't know where Larry lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Ken figured he had seen the last of Larry, but one day, Ken approached the park and -- low and behold!--there sat Larry! Ken was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, "For crying out loud Larry, what in the world happened to you?" Larry replied, "I have been in jail."

"Jail?" cried Ken. "What in the world for?"

"Well," Larry said, "you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes go?"

"Yeah," said Ken, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well, one day she filed rape charges against me, and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded guilty.

The judge gave me 30 days for perjury."

Getting into work before 8 am, and making coffee before anyone arrived

It took extra innings for them to do it but............ CUBS WIN!!!! :D

Americans using "borrowed" German WW2 technology.

I just bought a can of "Perketts self heating fine coffee mocha latte", a total ripoff of the Luftwaffe emergency rations stocked on the rescue buoys in the North Sea and Channel.

What worries me is the disclaimer "Do not activate if stored above 32C/90F. Return to room temperature and activate." Most of the time my rooms are at 32C or higher. This IS the tropics, dammit.

MREs use a different reaction to heat them.

I have the day off!!!! One of them ^^^^^ coffee's sound pretty good.

Kiddo having a good idea about arranging her room and actually wanting to clean it.

A pleasant dinner with our houseguest

Finding out that the 3D stuff works in monochrome.

Looking up an old flame and sending a note hello

Not having to sit around and wait for an hour or more before being seen at the hospital.

The rainstorm outside my window...sweet...
