Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, on an airliner bound for Texas , finds herself seated next to an older, weathered man in a western snap shirt, faded jeans, and a cowboy hat. Thinking herself above the old cowboy, she decides to make sport of him.

"You know," she says, "I've heard these flights go much more quickly if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger. So, let's talk." The cowboy looks at her wryly and says, "Well I s'pose that'd be all right, m'aam. What'd ya like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says Hillary with a slight hint of sarcasm. "How about Iraq ?"

"Hmm," says the cowboy, sensing an attempt to perhaps belittle him, "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first:
Horses, cows, and deer all eat the same stuff--grass. Yet a deer passes little pellets, a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse makes muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

Dumbfounded, Senator Clinton replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"So tell me, then," says the cowboy with a smile. "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss Iraq when you don't know ****?"

[Wireline]

joke of the month!

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at! the timee.
7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce!!
Oh, yeah, we don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat. IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio and real chili never met a bean!
12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.
16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas ." If you do, you will get your ass whupped by the best.
17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: "Texas can make it without the United States , but the United States can't make it without Texas"

Texas is the greatest state ever!!

And yes, he is another native Texan.

Audie Murphy has a VA hospital located in Kerrville named for him...no where near sufficient tribute to such an amazing man.

And yes, Ms. Mel...there are heros out there right now...and heros to be are unknowingly waiting their turn to alter history...

She can't find any key that works, and always comes in too early anyway.

Guitarist, eh...I've been at that myself for about 35 years or so...prefer playing bass (less notes to hit) but what the heck...

There's a few other musicians and engineers floating around Hannity...some of them fairly well known and respected - so watch what you say about us...:mrgreen: I think I remember Phil Spector showing up, and we ALL know what he is capable of...:eek: :mrgreen:

JOTD

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every
year Morris would say, "Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter".
Esther always replied, "I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is 50
dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars".

One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, "Esther,
I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get
another chance." Esther replied, "Morris that helicopter is 50 dollars
and 50 dollars is 50 dollars".

The pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks I'll make you a deal.
I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the
entire ride and not say a word I won't charge you! But if you say one
word, it's 50 dollars."

Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of
fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks
over and over again, but still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did
everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm
impressed!"

Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something
when Esther fell out, but you know -- 50 dollars is 50 dollars."

Have a great weekend all.

An Aggie and a Longhorn were both in the men's room.
On the way out, the Aggie stopped to wash his hands, but the Longhorn headed for the door.
"Uh-hum, Excuse me." said the Aggie, "at Texas A&M we are taught to wash our hands after we pee."
"Hmmm.", said the Longhorn, "At the University of Texas, we are taught not to pee on our hands."




:)) :)) :))
That is one of my favorites......:))

[Wireline]

That explains why Oklahoma grads spend so much time washing their feet then.

Goooooooo COWBOYS! :D

[melinda]

Goooooooo COWBOYS! :D

[texan_rep]

morning mel :hug::hug::hug:

[melinda]

I didn't see the first half...was out. But the second half rocked! :D

morning mel :hug::hug::hug:

be very happy you missed it. For just a while I thought Dallas had changed their color from blue to yellow b/c there were so many flags thrown. :rolleyes:

[texan_rep]

:doh:

[Wireline]

Man...I wanted to watch the games yesterday...but work work work work work...

Funny - all the guys in the Tejano band (world class project, but that's a different story) are Cowboys fans...we had to assign ONE person to take the text messages of score updates...otherwise nothing would have gotten done.

[texan_rep]

:lol:

[Wireline]

Yup...(morning Tex.)

Ms Mel - I see you out there hiding behind the bushes as well...come on out, sweetheart...

[texan_rep]

morning wire

maybe there's a reason she's hiding behind the bushes...in which case WHY DIDN'T SHE INVITE US?

[melinda]

morning, wire! :hug: :hug: :hug:

I'm not hiding in the bushes....I'm just lying low.
:)) :)) :))


and wire, they did post a lot of crap in Spanish during the Cowboys game.....

[texan_rep]

why are you laying low?

[melinda]

why are you laying low?

nothing much to say....














for once. :)) :)) :))

[texan_rep]

I normally only have to lay low when I am hiding...in my specially-made under-desk bunker...;)

[melinda]

I normally only have to lay low when I am hiding...in my specially-made under-desk bunker...;)

I don't have one of those.
My son wants to build one in his office though...he has decided that he is the George Costanza of the work place. He went home for lunch one day, accidentally fell asleep, took a three hour nap....and NO ONE missed him. :)) :)) :))
he thought that was pretty good. He's gonna see how many other times he can get away with it.

[texan_rep]

:)):)):)):))

Beautiful...

[Wireline]

As long as he doesn't do the cleaning lady or celebrate Festivus, what's the harm?

[melinda]

As long as he doesn't do the cleaning lady or celebrate Festivus, what's the harm?

I hope he doesn't do the cleaning lady....:eek:

[Wireline]

but Festivus is still OK? :eek:

[melinda]

but Festivus is still OK? :eek:

not great, but better than doing the cleaning lady. ;)

[Wireline]

this is what I'm saying, my friend...:mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

Do you clean around the house, mel?

[melinda]

Do you clean around the house, mel?

yep...but I don't clean my son's house.
he's trying to talk his g/f into that. :))

[texan_rep]

no, cleaning your son's house would not be a good idea...

I was just wondering, that's all...:angel:

[melinda]

no, cleaning your son's house would not be a good idea...

Just don't let her lick any envelopes for him....(obscure Constanza ref.)

[Wireline]

Just don't let her lick any envelopes for him....(obscure Constanza ref.)

I suspect if we are talking about one of Ms Mel's offspring, they won't be buying bulk envelopes from any ol place anyway...

Unless, of course...

[melinda]

Just don't let her lick any envelopes for him....(obscure Constanza ref.)

well.....unless, I don't like her. :))



but I do like her. ;)

[melinda]

I like her.
I like her.
I really really do. :))

[Wireline]

hmmm...

so how long before we call you Gramma Mel? :eek:

[melinda]

my son says he is not ever having kids. he says he doesn't wanna put up w/ one of him. :)) :)) :)) (famous last words....)


my daughter wants to wait until she is about 25...she's 21 now.


However, only God knows for sure.

[Wireline]

famous last words indeed...

news flash - 21 is about 25..

I know when Deb became a grandma the 1st time, I was more flipped out than she was...simply because it meant that I was...er...having 'relations' ... with someone's Grandmother - and how twisted is that?!?!?!

[Hadassah]

Hey, my wonderful Texas friends! How are y'all today? Shoulder still hurts some, but it seems to be improving. :dance: And I have a very sick kid here today. :sick: :frown:

[curtis123]

Hey, my wonderful Texas friends! How are y'all today? Shoulder still hurts some, but it seems to be improving. :dance: And I have a very sick kid here today. :sick: :frown:

What happened to your shoulder? Haven't been here much lately.

[Hadassah]

What happened to your shoulder? Haven't been here much lately.

I wasn't sure at first what happened, but I now can trace it back to being a klutz and falling. :redface:

[texan_rep]

morning

[Wireline]

W'sup, Rep?

[texan_rep]

not me, wire

[Wireline]

doncha know...

I was working again til after 1 Am...takes a while to wind down...then up again at 5:30 to take care of dogs, have a little "quiet time" and chill before getting the wife up, etc...

If the yard wasn't 3 feet tall, I'd go back to bed this morning....but with the week coming up, I gotta do it today or it will be 6 feet tall at the next opportunity

[melinda]

morning, tex. :hug: :hug: :hug:




morning, wire. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[texan_rep]

morning mel :hug::hug::hug:

[Wireline]

Ms Mel!!! How ARE ya today, Belle?

[melinda]

I'm having a hard time waking up....which is unusual for me.
Usually I am a morning person.

[texan_rep]

I know the feeling

[melinda]

I did go running to help wake myself up...but it is so humid out there. I was a bit scared that the trucks wouldn't see me or my dogs. I only ran a mile. It did help though.

[texan_rep]

That would have put a damper on your day, yes...

[melinda]

I know.....not fun to get hit by a vehicle. At least it wasn't the last time I was hit.....

[texan_rep]

:eek:

[melinda]

I was a kid.
I didn't want to cross the street at the light.
...I did get much better at crossing streets though. ;)

[texan_rep]

let's hope so...:doh:

I assume the same stubborn streak is there? ;)

[melinda]

always.....
my husband once told my mother, "She never listens to me....."
My mom just laughed.

Go me!!

[texan_rep]

now I definitely know about that...

[Wireline]

were you saying something Mel? Sorry, I wasn;t paying attention.

[melinda]

now I definitely know about that...

does you wife not listen to you??





wire, bit me. :))

[Wireline]

I wish I could say that was true...

bit you? Nah...but a nibble here and there might ... never mind.

[texan_rep]

does you wife not listen to you??





wire, bit me. :))

not from where I sit

[melinda]

I wish I could say that was true...

bit you? Nah...but a nibble here and there might ... never mind.

oh crap....there was supposed to be an "e" in there. :doh:

[Wireline]

oh crap....there was supposed to be an "e" in there. :doh:

Yeah, I know...one letter can change a very appealing idea into a...wait...

Hey! either way, I come out ahead. :eek:

[drylok]

Boy this thread is crazy this morning. People being hit, something about someone getting biten sheesh
How is everything in Texas?

[Wireline]

you're reading it right...that's pretty much the way it is here everyday....this is actually more of a newspaper than a thread.

[melinda]

Boy this thread is crazy this morning. People being hit, something about someone getting biten sheesh
How is everything in Texas?

things are wonderful in Texas, drylok....
how are things in IL?

[melinda]

Yeah, I know...one letter can change a very appealing idea into a...wait...

Hey! either way, I come out ahead. :eek:

:hug:

[Hadassah]

I'm having a hard time waking up....which is unusual for me.
Usually I am a morning person.

I woke up very early when my sick son climbed into bed with me, sounding like ****. After I took care of him, a long nap was in order and I just woke up again. :D


I feel good. My son sounds better.



Morning, y'all! :hug::hug::hug:

[melinda]

Morning, Haddie. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[texan_rep]

morning all

[Wireline]

morning awl...

[texan_rep]

Isn't awl that black stuff that comes out of the ground?

[Wireline]

close ...more of an oiwl sound...

lately the sound is ka-CHING!

Wish I would have gone into a few stripper wells when it was $14.00 a bbl...

:eek:

[texan_rep]

depends on what part of the state you are in, I think...round here, awl is definitely black...:))

Somewhere else it's more like "ohl".....

[Wireline]

love the yankees that come here saying "Oi-yull"

nah - it ain't oil...its freshly brewed naturally latte...try you a cup...just open that spigot there and get you a thermos full

Times were when you could stick a pencil in the ground and come up with a producing well...I have no idea who owns the mineral rights under my house, and you know who owns what is no longer a major concern,,,,horizontal drilling and all

[texan_rep]

hey...horizontal drilling can be fun...:whistle:

[Wireline]

not referring to that kind of drilling...

Unless you are, of course, equipped with a 200 lb multi headed diamond tipped drillbit../ :eek:

[texan_rep]

:shhh:

[Wireline]

we won't even open the door discussing sucker rods then, I hope....

[melinda]

too early. too early. :)) :)) :))


I just got back from Austin.......and I need a shower.
Brushing my teeth might be beneficial too.

[texan_rep]

Maybe I don't wanna know...but was this trip related to drilling in any way? (hey - not that kind of drilling)

[FoxGranadaChuck]

God did indeed bless Texas with Kenny Rogers.

But Pepsi is STILL better than Coke. LOL

[texan_rep]

:evil:

[FoxGranadaChuck]

:D :D :D

[texan_rep]

When this day is over, the Pepsi drink will be drunk only in hell!

[melinda]

OK...I've had my shower, and my teeth are brushed.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Good Morning, Melinda!!!

[melinda]

morning mel! :hug::hug::hug:

Is your Austin trip PG-13? ;)

took my husband to the airport....he had an early flight, so he wanted to spend the night. He's been out of town so much, that I spent the night w/ him in Austin just so I could spend some time with him. It's innocent enough. ;)

[melinda]

Good Morning, Melinda!!!

Good Morning, Fox. I'm ignoring you b/c of all the "pepsi" comments. ;)
