  1. This video is one of the best I have seen as far as showing why mandatory retirement isnt for everyone. THis woman is 88 years old and most of us (probably none of us) could keep up with her. http://www.garynorth.com/public/6791.cfm brian
  2. A young woman was shopping at the local supermarket where she selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk A carton of eggs A quart of orange juice A head of lettuce A 2 lb. can of coffee A 1 lb. package of bacon A drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier on the check out conveyor belt. While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated to her, "You must be single." The young woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she indeed had never found Mr. Right. She looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status... Curiosity getting the better of the woman, so she said, "Yes you are correct. But how on earth did you know that?" The drunk replied, "'Cause you're ugly."
  3. My wife and I were sitting in the living room me reading my mag and she reading hers. all of a sudden she ask's, How many ribs do you have ?

  4. A woman goes to the Doctor, beaten black and blue. The doctor asks "What happened?" The woman says "Doctor I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk he beats me to a pulp. The Doctor says "I have a good cure for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of sweet tea and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow until he goes to bed and is asleep Two weeks later the woman comes back to the Doctor looking fresh and reborn. The woman says "Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with sweet tea. I swished and swished, and he didn't touch me! How does the tea do that?" The Doctor says "The tea does nothing at all, it's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick."

  6. A woman looking desperately for work goes to the toy plant where they make Elmo dolls. The Personnel Manager goes over her resume and tells her that he regrets that he has nothing worthy of her background that he might offer her. The woman replies that she really needs work and will take almost anything. The Personnel Manager thinks about it and then says that he does have one job that requires very low level skills -- on the Tickle Me Elmo production line. The woman is thrilled at the opportunity and happily accepts the job. Then the manager takes her down to the assembly line and explains her duties to her. She replies that she thinks can handle the job, and agrees to report for work at 8:00 a.m. next morning. The next day at 8:45, there's a knock on the Personnel Manager's door. The Tickle Me Elmo line manager comes in and starts ranting about the woman just hired. After the line manager screaming for 15 minutes about how badly backed up the assembly line is, the Personnel Manager suggests that the line man show him the problem. Together they head down to the line and, sure enough, Elmos are backed up from here to kingdom come, as far as the eye can see. Right at the end of the line is the woman just hired. She has pulled over a roll of material used for Elmo's furry exterior and she has a big bag of marbles at her side. Both managers watch as she cuts out a small swatch of the material, takes two marbles and begins sewing them between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager starts to kill himself laughing, and finally, after about 20 minutes of rolling around in hysterics, he pulls himself together and walks over to his newest employee. "I'm sorry," he says to her. "I guess you misunderstood me yesterday. What I wanted you to do was give each Elmo two test tickles."
  7. To say home with the wife, it is our 37th anniversary..............dont know how she has put up with me for so long, but I am one lucky guy to have a wonderful woman like her in my life........ :big-grin-emoticon:
  8. An old, blind cowboy 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, Cowboy, 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, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'
  9. 11 years ago today my beautiful wife said I do to me of all peaple. Now here I am happier now than I was then. Just had to brag as its not often that you can find your perfect woman. Love you babe David
  10. *WHAT A REAL WOMAN DOES* A real woman is a man's best friend. She will never stand him up and never let him down. She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day. She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret. She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires. She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most confident, sexy, seductive, and invincible. . . http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=52464&d=1291539404 No wait... Sorry... I'm thinking of beer. That's what beer does... Never mind.
  11. When girls don't put out!! This was written by a guy...very funny! I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.' I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!' So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... 'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.' She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?' Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.' We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... She was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all Dear, let's go to the cashier.' I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.' Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?' I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.' And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?' Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either... but at least the ***** knows I'm smarter than her.
  12. THE PERFECT HUSBAND Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" MAN: "Yes." WOMAN: "I was shopping and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?" MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much." WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and looked at all the new models. I saw one I really liked." MAN: "How much?" WOMAN: "$90,000." MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it." MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want." WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!" MAN: "Bye! I love you, too." The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open. He turns and asks, "Anyone know who's phone this is?"
  13. LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A motorcyclist has died after being hurt in a traffic crash at Fern Valley Road and Preston Highway Thursday afternoon. The coroner's office has identified the victim as 62-year-old Tony Blunk. He died at University Hospital just before 6:30 p.m. from multiple blunt force injuries. He was not wearing a helmet. Police say Blunk was struck by a Ford Taurus around 4:15 p.m. Thursday. According to police, the driver of the Taurus was heading west on Fern Valley Road when it ran a red light and struck the motorcycle. The woman driving the Taurus was not hurt. LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell says the woman told police she came to a stop at the red light, but continued into the intersection after mistakenly thinking that it had turned green.

    Twas the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house Tiger Woods came a flyin', chased by his spouse. She wielded a nine iron and wasn't too merry, Cause a bimbo’s phone number was in his Blackberry. He’d been cheatin' on Elin, and the story progressed. Woman after woman stepped up and confessed. He’d been cheatin’ with Holly, and Jaimee, and Cori, With Joselyn, and Kalika. The world had the story. From the top of the Tour to the basement of blues, Tiger’s sad sordid tale was all over the news. With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex, When not in their pants, he was sendin' them texts. Despite all his cryin’and beggin' and pleadin', Tiger’s wife went investin' -- a new home in Sweden.. And I heard her exclaim from her white Escalade, "If you’re gettin' laid then I’m gettin' paid." She’s not pouting, in fact, she is of jolly good cheer, Her prenup made Christmas come early this year. Phill

  18. This is just a reminder to everyone to be careful when you visit "the Dragon". There was another article in the Knoxville News Sentinel today about a woman from Canada who lost her life Sunday. She was riding a Suzuki (didn't list the model) she ran off the left side of the road and hit a tree. It seems like it's getting more and more common to read about these deaths in the paper. I know some people think "It was just a crazy biker", but she was a 52 yr. old woman somebody's daughter, and probably someone's wife and someone's mother.
  19. NEW FORM OF KIDNAPPING Please take a minute to read this. This is very scary and could happen to any of us.. Seems like every nice thing people do for one another can be perverted. A new twist on kidnapping from a very smart survivor: About a month ago there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women. The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, 'I noticed you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care of it for you?' The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off. The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car. She was a little surprised and she asked him why his car was on other side. He explained that he had seen an old friend in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat, visited for a while, and he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late. The woman hated to tell him 'no' because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she! felt un easy . (Trust that gut feeling!) Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car. She told him that she'd be happy to drive him around to his car, But she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy (Smart woman!!) She said she would only be a few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened, the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left. They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape, and knives. When the police checked her 'flat' tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's intention was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance. The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have been if she had children with her and had them wait in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat? Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift? I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.., you may want to pass it on to them, as well. Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that The world we live in has a lot of crazies in it. Better to be safe than sorry. PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY

  21. A motorcyclist died Wednesday from injuries he suffered in a collision with a van at 15th and Moffat streets. The name of the 49-year-old Springfield man was not immediately released, pending notification of relatives. The crash happened about noon Wednesday. Initial information was that a woman driving a Dodge minivan southbound on 15th Street turned left onto Moffat in front of the northbound motorcycle. The motorcyclist struck the back passenger side of the van. Police said it appeared from the damage to the van that the motorcyclist might have been speeding when the woman turned in front of him. Investigators also were looking into whether alcohol was a factor on the part of either driver. A small child was in the van. Neither the child nor the woman was seriously injured. Police blocked the intersection as they investigated much of Wednesday afternoon. The motorcycle, a black Honda GM400, was lying on its side about 20 to 30 feet north of the intersection. Clothing and blood from the motorcyclist were on the pavement nearby. Glass and a rear bumper from the minivan were on the east side of the intersection, as was the damaged van.

    The last taxi ride

    I arrived at the address where someone had requested a taxi. I honked but no one came out. I honked again, nothing. So I walked to the door and knocked. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened.A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. 'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, and then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated'. 'Oh, you're such a good boy', she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, and then asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?' 'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly. Oh, I don’t mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice'. I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left, she continued. 'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. 'What route would you like me to take?' I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once work ed as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Some times she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now. We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab assoon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. 'How much do I owe you?' she asked,reaching into her purse. 'Nothing,' I said You have to make a living,' she answered. 'There are other passengers,' I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. 'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said. Thank you.' I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run,or had honked once, then driven away? On a quick review, I don't think that Ihave done anything more important in my life. We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.
  23. Well I finally seen one today. Bright Yellow Cam-Am trike, boy was this thing ugly but yet kinda neat set up. Trike on the front sure did make it look funny, Had a man & woman riding it. As for the woman - looked like she was hanging on for dear life the back half has small setting for a passenger. And the man looked like he was trying to drive it in a straight line looked like he was all over the road. Peg & I drove by on our Gold Wing and said hi but the guy acted like it was trying to get away from him so he never waved as for the woman she tried to wave but could not due to the way the trike was running. Think I'll stick to the Venture & Gold Wing...
  24. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,401821,00.html HANNIBAL, Mo. — A 45-year-old Missouri biker was reportedly killed by two other men when he tried to stop them from attacking a woman by the side of the road. Rodney Wood was riding his motorcycle when he saw a woman being attacked, a family friend told the Hannibal Courier-Post. He pulled over to try to help, the paper reported. But when Wood tried to intervene, the unidentified attackers apparently turned on him and killed him, according to the Courier-Post. Wood's body was found early Sunday morning in Hannibal, Mo. The suspects, who are 21 and 22, were arrested Sunday. Police have released few other details about the incident.
  25. To bring everyone who is interested up to speed, I have made a settlement with State Farm on my bike. I have kept the title of this post Hit & Run, even though after the woman was told there was a video of the event, she no longer denied hitting my bike. If you are interested in the whole saga, the other posts are at the bottom detailing the highs and lows. Even though she was charged with driving on a suspended license and improper backing while driving her boyfriend's F150 Ford pickup truck, State Farm took liability. I was a bit anxious when I met with the State Farm adjuster, but I was pleased that on several occasions, he stated that I had a real nice looking bike. He was impressed with the condition and especially the paint. I don't think he expected this when he came to look at a 25 year old Yamaha. I got a call last Tuesday from State Farm wanting to settle on the damage. The first thing the woman said was they had done some research on an 83 Yamaha Venture and determined the value was something over $3,000. That surprised me right from the start. She said they were not taking issue with any of the submitted estimates, but this did take the payoff to more than the value of the bike. She asked me if I wanted to keep the bike and I told her I hope so. She stated that an option would be for the bike to be totaled and me buy it back. She then stated that if I would sign a release and fax them a copy of my title, I could buy the bike back for $200 and she would take that out of the total and send me a check for $3,162. She also stated that they were not going to notify the state of Tennessee, so I would not get a "salvage" title. She said she would immediately process the claim. I went home during lunch and picked up my title and signed the release and faxed it back. By Friday, I had not received a check, so I called the woman and found that she had just left on a weeks vacation. I gave the woman that answered my claim number and she pulled it up on the computer and stated the fax had not been received. They have a fax system that is received on a computer and it sorts it according to the claim number. We ended up having to use a regular fax machine for her to have it in hand. She stated she would process it today. So, my plans are to take the fairings off and realign the upper frame and fix some plastic and get the worked areas repainted. I am also going to get the right bag painted on the outside and replace the left bag and paint it. I also need a right front signal light and will have to do some work on the plastic panels that hold the speakers, or replace them. I also plan on replacing my rear Avon tire with an Elite III and I am going to get a PC680 battery. I appreciate the interest expressed with my emotional highs and lows I have been dealing with and the encouragement. I feel a little guilty about how this has turned out, given others, such as Yammer Dan have been through so much crap. RandyA
