I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but it always makes me laugh, so here it is again. Rusty

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'

At this time of year, when you get up in the morning, please keep your kids and your dogs quiet. Some of your neighbors need sleep after being up all night shooting off fireworks.

Annie my teaching moment learning the difference between garbage and trash was at my grandmothers house. I learned the garbage went in the pail on the back step. Egg shells, coffee grounds, potato peels, etc. would go in in the slop bucket, i.e. garbage pail, and she'd use it for compost. The paper stuff was incinerated, and bottles and tin cans were the only trash hauled away back then.
