Women Make Better Estate Planners

Some real estate humor to send you into the weekend.

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just any ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a few
years, my father will die, and I’ll inherit $20 million dollars."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later . . .

. . .she became his step-mother.

WOMEN ARE SO MUCH BETTER AT ESTATE PLANNING

Ohio Sign Is A Conversation Piece In New England

One of the "no guns" signs popular in Ohio malls, schools, universities, etc., is hanging in a pistol club in New England.

It's become quite the topic of conversation (and a teaching tool, apparently), according to the Conservative UAW Guy.

Let Me Be Your President

Well, not me. But all of the talk of presidential politics made me think. What if a regular guy were elected? The media likes the idea. Last year, the BBC ran a dramatic miniseries about a housewife who was elected Prime Minister of England.

So why not here?

One of my favorite baritones, singer/songwriter/comedian Mark Lowry, wrote this piece during the 2000 election season about running for the Oval Office. He makes some good points. Performed at the Kennedy Center in New York City.

Humor (At The Expense of Everyman Hero Jack Bauer)

Did you ever see the Saturday Night Live satire, "What If?" One of my favorites was "What If Napoleon had a B-52 bomber." There was the little general, standing behind Dan Akroyd at the controls of the aircraft, with Akroyd explaining to the puzzled emporer the capacity of the bomb bay and speed from the United States to France's enemies.

Anyway, what if . . .

Jack Bauer of 24 is trying to save the world . . . in 1994 . . . with the technology of the day (AOL 3.0, Prodigy, pagers, phone booths, you get the idea).

Hilarious spoof; absolutely worth watching, especially if you are a fan of, you know, saving the world, and gadgets.

Political Humor

Recordings discovered on John Kerry's answering machine the morning after he endorsed Barack Obama for president (instead of his 2004 VP running mate John Edwards).

NOTE: Must be the REAL reason why this blog received an NC-17 rating. It really can't be because I write about firearms and politics. Right?

Remake of 'Spy Who Loved Me'

"Nobody needs America's help . . . until they need it!"

Funny clip from the animated American Dad series.

Just because . . .

And Now, Some Poetry: 'Electile Dysfunction'

"It’s abundantly clear and I charge without fear
Nor the slightest degree of compunction,
Proven night after night both on left and on right,
Our media have electile dysfunction."

Read the rest of this cleverly crafted prose (and "right on," I might add), courtesy of Old War Dogs.

Ban Assault Limbs

Check out Breda's latest. She fears it will soon be high time to ban "assault limbs."

And Miss Breda, I completely agree with your hesitation to go through airport security these days, particularly facing TSA with a prosthetic limb. Somehow, being "swabbed" seems a rather icky way to begin a flight.

Ban Assault Plungers

A drunken man in Leavenworth, Kansas attacked his father early Monday morning, stabbing him 16 times with the handle of a toilet plunger. The victim survived the attack. The assailant is in jail accused of attempted murder of both his parents.

But America will soon be asking, what reasonable steps can we take to avert plunger violence?
