Many thanks to all who stopped by here and left a birthday greeting in the comments Thursday! I was overwhelmed with the response on this and several other posts that mentioned my birthday. I didn’t get any gifts, or cards (unless you count that one from the dentist back at the first of the month), and I got to pay for the birthday dinner out (as usual), but the comments made it a really special birthday! I’m still not used to being a year older... but honestly, do I have to get used to that? Getting over a bad cold at this age is hard enough. I tried some overdue yard work yesterday, and totally exhausted myself in about a half hour. But that beats last week by a long shot!

THE PAINTER

A painter, whitewashing the inner walls of a country outhouse, had the misfortune to fall through the opening and land in the muck at the bottom.

He shouted, "Fire! Fire! Fire!" at the top of his lungs.

The local fire department responded with alacrity, sirens roaring as they approached the privy. "Where's the fire?" called the chief.

"No fire," replied the painter as they pulled him out of the hole. "But if I had yelled, 'Shit! Shit! Shit!' who would have rescued me?"

This is just too funny. I felt bad about laughing out loud about this street crime, but I couldn’t help myself.

THE RECIPE

(Thanks, Eva!)
A man is showering up in a locker room with his buddy when he notices his friend is very well endowed.

"Damn Bob, you're hung!" Jim exclaims.

"I wasn't always this impressive, I had to work for it."

"What do you mean?" Jim asked.

"Well, every day for the past two years I've spent an hour each night rubbing it with butter. I know it sounds crazy but it actually made it grow 4 inches! You should try it."

Jim agrees and the two say good bye.

A few months later the two are in the same locker room and Bob asks Jim how his situation was.

Jim replied,"I did what you said, Bob, but I've actually gotten smaller! - I lost two inches already!"

"Did you do everything I told you? An hour each day with butter?"

 "Well, I was out of butter, so I've been using Crisco."

 "Crisco?!?" Bob exclaimed.

"Dammit, Jim, Crisco is shortening!!!"

You gotta follow the recipe!!!
