Saw this on the internet and thought it was funny. Yes I do have a weird sense of humor!

"I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 66).

We decided to grab a bite at the food court.

I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green, red,
orange, and blue.

My dad kept staring at her.

The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.

When the teenager had enough, she sarcastically asked:
"What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not
choke on his response; I knew he would have a good one!

In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid ....

"Got stoned once and had sex with a parrot.

I was just wondering if you're my kid."

Crazy World Out There Folks!

Condoms: Don’t guarantee safe sex anymore….. A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman’s husband.


Lance Armstrong: I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved, winning 7 Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs, I couldn't even find my bike.


Drive By: A guy broke into my apartment last week. He didn’t take my TV, just the remote. Now he drives by and changes the channels!

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. You'll be surprised. Stick with it until the end. By the number of views I'd say it's rather obscure. Then, again, you might hate it.

One way to eliminate potholes

One suggestion I have for eliminating potholes is to make a road out of recycled old tires. The process would be to manufacture a solid pavement approximately 12 inches thick by 10 feet wide by 12 feet long for use on side roads (not Interstate roads).


This "road piece" could be shipped via a flatbed truck to the installation site. The road is prepped to receive the new rubber. The "pieces" are then lowered by a crane. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. There are hydroplaning slits in the road. When the road deteriorates, the section is lifted out and a new piece put in place.


Currently crushed tires are mixed with asphalt to make a surface. I say, make the whole road out of old rubber. Hopefully there are some rubber engineers reading this - and they can respond to this idea.

I like that idea Mimo.

I went hiking last weekend and there was an entire trail made out of rubber -- think any and all ideas like this are good ones.

I believe that is the material used in children's playgrounds......unlike when I was a kid and the only thing under me was the black asphalt! That was definitely the school of hard knocks!

I am really surprised that with the new Nano Technology we don't have a foam type material which could quickly be injected , smoothed out rapidly, and with a life much longer than the current patch type material which falls out quickly and provides lots of Over Time for the road workers putting in more asphalt!
