Ten Thoughts To Start The Year



1. My goal for 2016 was to lose ten pounds.  Only fifteen more to go!

2. I ate a salad for dinner.  Mostly croutons and tomatoes.  OK, really one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce and cheese and sausage.  FINE, I ate a pizza.

3. How to prepare tofu: 1. Throw it in the trash.  2. Grill some meat.

4. I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.

5. I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

6.  A recent study has shown that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it.

7. Kids today don't know how good they have it.  Back when I was their age, I had to get up and walk ten feet over shag carpet to change the TV channel.

8. I may not be funny or good looking or athletic or talented or rich... oh, I forgot where I was going with this.

9. I love being over 50 years old.  Every day I learn a new thing, and forget five others.

10.  I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day.

THE TEXAS STATE TROOPER AND THE JUGGLER

A Texas State trooper pulled a car over on Interstate 35 a few miles south of Waco. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Austin to do a show for the Shrine Circus. He was behind schedule and didn't want to be late.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him, then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.

The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got out five flares, lit them and handed them to him.  The man juggled them skillfully and impressively.

While the man was juggling, a pickup truck pulled in behind the State Trooper's car. A drunken good old boy from central Texas got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to the State car, opened the door asking the drunk guy what he thought he was doing.


The drunk replied, “You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”
