Fun Stuff...Off Topic(O/T)

[riverbabe]

River,
Lots of locals and oldtimers around here have made a fortune off FUN stock. In the early '60's it was nearly torn down and made into a housing development. My Grandparents met there about 1920. Several members of my family have worked for them from the 1960's and continuing to this day.The amusement park has been in operation since the 1870's . I have private mailing cards (before postcards) from Cedar Point from the 1890's.

It's a thrill a minute there. Love to go with the little ones and just watch their awe! I kind of liked the views of a partially iced Lake Erie in the background of the pictures. Ah, winter. Riverbabe

It'll take more than hate to avoid a birthday wish

April 18, 2007


I get some odd requests, most physically impossible to do, and no, I can't go there yet.

Most begin the same way: "I hate Page 2 … ''


I recently got a request, though, that was a little different: "My father hates Page 2 … ''

Brian Wunderman went on to add, "but in typical father-son relationships — I like your writing and generally agree with you. Hoping you can help me out with this … ''

Well, I don't know many people who generally agree with Page 2, so if there is someone out there, of course I'm going to help.

"It's about my father, Max Wunderman,'' Brian said. "He enjoys watching European soccer.''

I used to think I had problems, but I've got to admit, I can't imagine what it would be like to have someone so close to me who watches European soccer.

"He likes to go to Hollywood Park on Saturdays even though he knows the races are fixed and he enjoys deep-sea fishing but hates to eat fish,'' Brian said, and every time you think you've got it bad, there's always someone out there to remind you they're worse off.

"He's a Holocaust survivor,'' Brian said. "He's had 14 angioplasties, two heart bypasses, bleeding ulcers and has had a pacemaker put in. It's a miracle he's still alive. I don't think God wants him yet.''

Come on, why would God want someone who hates Page 2?

"He's been married to the same woman for 55 years. He's retired, but he still comes to work every day to tell me what a lousy job I'm doing. That's dad, and you know what, he's really a good-hearted man, although it's been surgically repaired several times … and did I mention he doesn't like Page 2? He reads it every day, but he just doesn't get you.''

So how am I supposed to help?

"I want to give him something. I'd like to give him really good health, but that's out of my hands. I gave him a grandson, Alex, and while Alex is borderline (special needs), he's a sweet-loving son and my father's favorite grandchild — although I won't tell the other kids. My dad just likes the underdog.

"My dad came to this country 51 years ago with a wife and child, not speaking the language and with only a few dollars in his pocket and through hard work has lived the American dream. He's achieved great success, and as a result, there is almost nothing I can give him for his 77th birthday'' today.

"But I think it would be funny if he picked up the paper, and with no warning, he just got a happy birthday from you on Page 2.''

Happy birthday, Max, from you old Page 2 hater you.

Now that is very touching! (sniff)

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what happened.

The coroner tells the inspector, "The first body is a 72 year old man. He died of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous smile."

"The second body is a man, 25 years of age. He won a thousand dollars on the lottery and spent it all on whiskey and beer. Died of alcohol poisoning. Hence the smile."

The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?"

"Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, age 66, struck by lightning."

"Why is she smiling then?", inquires the inspector.

"She thought she was having her picture taken."

Warning to All Women!!

WARNING TO ALL WOMEN!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.... IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUR MOTHER ...YOUR SISTER OR YOUR DAUGHTER...

The strangest thing happened to me at lunch today. I was sitting at a local outdoor cafe having lunch by myself and two men came and sat down at my table... I gave them the death look, but they just casually stayed at my table and wouldn't leave me alone. I shined up my ring on my married finger, then placed my hand on the table and I hinted to them that I was married and that I was not interested in them.

Luckily for me they got the hint and left, but thankfully the whole thing was captured on the Cafe's camera. I'm sending you this picture as a warning.. just in case they try and pick you up too.


Honestly, some men think they are God's gift to women.






Then I fell out of bed and woke up!!!

Your e-mail have won. I did it again. Won the U.K. lottery this time for 870,000 pounds sterling. This is the 3rd time in 3 months. If anybody wants to borrow some sterling you can have it , but you'll have to pick it up in the U.K. Just tell them billyjoe won it and said you could have it. They're very friendly so I'm sure they'll understand.

My luck seems endless. Today I won the International Microsoft Lottery for 1,000,000 pounds. Coincidentally it also is from the United Kingdom. If anyone is going there please pick up my 1,000,000 pounds and deliver it to me . You can keep half.
