Grandpa's Joke For Wednesday

I got this joke from one of my Bros this morning and thought I'd share it.

Lincoln Navigator

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN ? ABSOLUTELY A TRUE
STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.

A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of
$560.00)

He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin . It's mid-winter; and of
course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with
their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR. They decide they want to
make a natural looking open water area for the ducks to focus on, something
for the decoys to float on.

Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is going
to take a little more power than the average drill auger can produce.

So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a
short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip
on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and becoming
toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action:
they light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the
stick of dynamite as far away as possible.

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the NAVIGATOR, the
GUNS, and the DOG...???

Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING;
especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off
across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with
the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.

The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their
necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog
to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming.

One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog
stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and
this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of
course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes
off to find cover, UNDER the brand new Navigator.

The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the
truck touches the dog's rearend; he yelps, drops the dynamite under the
truck and takes off after his master.

Then " "" "" "" "" " BOOOOOOOOOOOOM "" "" "" "" "" ! ! ! !

The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, leaving the
two idiots standing there with "I can't believe this just happened" looks on
their faces.

The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use
of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet to make the
first of those $560.00 a month payments.

The dog is okay. .doing fine. And you thought Rednecks lived in the
South.........

Record Breaking Motorcycle Jump!

The Start Of Bike Week In Daytona Beach, FL

Bike week at Daytona Beach, FL starts on March 01, 2008 through March 31, 2008.
You can view events by day or the entire calendar at the Daytona Chamber of Commerce. You can also email events to your friends. They are constantly updating so please bookmark their page for future reference. Come enjoy Bike Week 2008 in Daytona Beach this year! This year will be the 67th ANNIVERSARY OF BIKE WEEK. As you can see in my profile I am 61 years old. I moved to Florida from Brooklyn, New York in 1954.
I started my riding expierience at 14 on a used Allstate motor scooter that I bought from a guy who said it wouldn't run any more. I gave him 20 bucks for it and pushed it home. I took the old spark plug out which looked like it was the original and put a new one in. It started on the second kick. I rode the hell out of that thing for about two years and ended up selling it back to the same guy I bought it from for the twenty bucks that I paid for it(with a few thousand miles more on it).
He took of from my house and ran into a curb about a block away, breaking the spring on the front wheel. That ended his riding career, and by the way he drove it probably saved his life. Any way I haven't quit riding yet and today own two motorcycles. Needless to say I have been going to Bike Week in Daytona for the better part of their 67 year run. Hope to see some of you there.

Some Tuesday Morning Humor

MY NEW CAR

I bought a new Lexus 330 but returned to the dealer the
next day because I couldn't get the radio to work.

The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.
"Nelson," the salesman said to the radio.

The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from
the speakers.

Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant "Georgia
On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time
I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music.
If I said, "Beatles," I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, a driver ran a red light and nearly creamed my
new Lexus, but I swerved in time to avoid him. I yelled,
"Ass Hole!"

Immediately Hail-to-the-Chief began playing.

I LOVE this car!

Electile Dysfunction :

The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

The reason for this post is my grandparents were all immigrants.
One side from Italy, and the other Sicily. They came over legally
and worked hard to make this their Country by choice. They learned
English, got jobs, and paid taxes. Yes , even the ones from Sicily!
Not all Sicilians are in the Mafia. So with that being said I will
post the following email I received here:

Let me make this perfectly clear!

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

And, because I make this statement
DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!!!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY.
Welcome to come through like everyone else has.
Get a sponsor!
Get a place to lay your head!
Get a job!
Live by OUR rules!
Pay YOUR taxes!
And
LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER
IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!!
AND PLEASE DON'T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR
LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU
TO MAKE UP FOR ''YOUR'' LOSSES.

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone,
then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???
We've gone so far the other way ... bent over backwards not to
offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN
that's being offended!

WAKE UP America !!!
If you agree ... pass this on.
if you don't agree ... delete it!!!

This is not an opening for any hate or discrimination of any
person or group of people of any race of any kind. I just can't
understand the Presidential candidates and other politicians that
want to condone illegal (which means criminal) immigration.

Fw: “Evel Knievel tribute Triumph Bonneville motorcycle”

 

From: Frank Web
Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2008 7:09 AM
Subject: "Evel Knievel tribute Triumph Bonneville motorcycle"

An European motorcycle dealer is building a motorcycle in honor of the late Evel Knievel. He is recreating the Triumph motorcycle that he used on his Ceasars Palace Jump many years ago. But not only do you get to buy the bike, but you also get an autographed picture  of Evel's leap at Ceasars.

With Evel's death, this bike may become a true collectors item as people start looking to make a connection with Evel after his death. Not to mention, as with the original bike used, it will sport the same color scheme that made the bike and Evel famous for so many generations.

2008 Bike Week Update
I've been going to bike week in Daytona for as long as I can remember. Downtown is just the same S.O.S with a bunch of idiots that ride their air cooled bikes around in circles at speeds to slow to adequately keep them cooled off. Remarkably they just can't understand why they need repairs (sometimes quite expensive ones) done after bike week. Which reminds me of all the "newbie" bikers that go out and buy a new motorcycle and clothes to match, because it's the "cool"thing to do, take the required course for their motorcycle endorsement and think they can ride in any kind of traffic! But that is a subject for a future posting.

Like I said in my earlier post on bike week my good friend and Brother in the wind, and just
all around great guy, Large Butch, turned me on to an antique club that he belongs to, the Antique Motorcycle Club of America. He owns a 1948 Indian Bonneville (I said it was a Chief in my earlier post).
Checkout their site at www.antiquemotorcycleclub.org. The Eustis meet is put on by the Sunshine chapter of Antique motorcycle club of America. February 29th thru March 2. I encourage any one who
likes old bikes or would just like to see the different models and makes of bikes you previously owned
to bring back old memories of good times gone by, to attend. Also you can find parts for your older bikes
that you may need parts for.

It sure beats watching the same bikes going around in circles on main street in Daytona.
But if you like that you will still have plenty of time to do that to.

Bike Week 2008

Well the time is growing near for Bike Week 2008.
What will it have in store for us this year. More
tickets for loud pipes? Or maybe for the traditional
"show us your T**Ts? Well personally I have spent
more time with my Brothers on events centered around
bike week. One of my favorites is the Antique Club
that is in Eustis, FL. Wow does it bring back memories!
I got turned on to this by my brother Large Butch who
happens to own 1948 Indian Chief. That will be the
highlight of bike week for me. Downtown Daytona is
basically the SOS after all these years and I just have
a better time at events surrounding Daytona. How about
you? What are your favorite events during bike week?
