A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Mexico.

While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.

He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?'

The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!'

The cowboy said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.'

The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'

A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.

"Mom", he asked, "Are these my brains?"

"Not yet," she replied.

School project - what do you want to when you grow up???

Submission says all...

Letter to the Bank.

Dear Sirs,

In view of current developments in the banking market,
if one of my cheques is returned marked "insufficient
funds ", does that refer to me or to you?

Yours faithfully .........................

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour.

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.
One day, an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, 'Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?'

Wait a moment,' Socrates replied, 'Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test.'

Triple filter?' asked the acquaintance.

That's right,' Socrates continued. 'Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?'

'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it.'

'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?' 'No, on the contrary ..'.

I recently posted an article about the Heart Attack Grill. The owner and creator, one "Dr." Jon Basso emailed me to tell me....

"I cannot tell you how much I appreciate having been mentioned on your blog. Everyone here at the Heart Attack Grill enjoyed the posting. I'd like to return the favor by giving you a Single Bypass Burger and some Flatliner Fries."

Well, that is a first for me. A first that someone I wrote about actually emailed me to say thanks! This guy has some serious marketing going on and you have to visit the website for more grins and giggles...

Meanwhile, I hope he doesn't mind too much but I did lift a few more photos of the place from his website...

The Czech Republic thrives on Fairy Tales and it has a rich culture of such tales often made into Czech movies which get shown on TV over and over again. These movies are shown around Christmas mainly and Christmas without seeing these Czech Fairy Tales is akin to Christmas in the US without seeing 'White Christmas' on TV or perhaps without seeing 'Scrooge' in the UK. Unsurprisingly then, all Czechs have a strong affiliation for these tales, movies and songs from the movies.

The HouseMartins, a UK pop band from Hull who had a number of hits a couple of decades ago, have been proclaimed true prophets by Hull City manager Phil Brown. Brown, was referring to their hit Album which proclaimed 'London 0 Hull 4' and prophesied Hull City's string of Premier League victories over London clubs, Arsenal, Spurs, Fulham and recently, West Ham.

The HouseMartins are now expected to re-form in order to monopolize their new found status as true Prophets.....

Imagine....

You are at the airport and inadvertently leave your bag behind as you rush to get home.... a few minutes or so later you realize that you left your bag and return to find the airport being evacuated on a security alert.... oops - yes, it is your bag that caused the alert. Embarrassing for sure. But then you are asked to identify your bag and the vibrating content that triggered the alert. Red-faced you extract your sex toy vibrator to show to the security guards and police..... worse still, you are male!

LOL! No way you say? Actually, this happened at a Queensland airport in Australia in 2004. See the story here

Couldn't help smiling at an article on the BBC website today about a Dog that was summoned to appear in court in India. I mean, I know the phrase in the dog house but apparently this dog was in the court house.....
