    On Buffaloes and Flutes

    In another thread someone mentioned buffaloes and flute playing in one sentence. This triggered the "haven’t I heard that combination before" reflex. And yes, I had, see Wikipedia.

    There is also a nice PDF (200 kB) with the paintings and verses on the Web.

      Words Of Wisdom LOL

      CATHOLIC COFFEE


      Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.


      The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

      The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."


      The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."


      The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."


      Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"

      She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D breast, 24" waist and 34" hips. When she walks into a room, people say, "Oh My God."

        Men : Warning!!

        Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.
        This will only become more commonplace as the older men travel south.
        A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Lowe's, Home Depot, or Costco customers. This one caught me by surprise.

        Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping.
        Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic.
        Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
        Here's how the scam works:

        Two seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as
        you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling
        out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank
        them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds.
        You agree and they get into the back seat.

        On the way, they start undressing.
        Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also July 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
        So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.
        Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K-Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Costco.

            Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings,

            Poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'

              Sometimes an old song has new meaning!

              A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

              With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I would take it and pour it into the river."

              And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd surely take it and pour it into the river."

              Sermon complete, he sat down.

              The song leader, who obviously had problems keeping his face straight and his voice firm, then announced "For our closing song, let us sing, Shall We Gather at the River."

              See you at the river

                Another Drinking JOKE ( Karel Started This) LOL

                So there’s a guy at a bar, staring blankly at his drink. He stays like that for hours. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man cries. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man cry.”

                “No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away.”

                “I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”

                  Zen Teachings
                  1.
                  Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
                  Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
                  Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow.
                  In fact, just piss off and leave me alone.


                  2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.


                  3.
                  No one is listening until you fart.


                  4.
                  Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.


                  5.
                  Never test the depth of the water with both feet.


                  6.
                  If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.


                  7.
                  Before you criticize someone,
                  you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.



                  8.
                  If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

                  9.
                  Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.


                  10.
                  If you lend someone
                  $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.



                  11.
                  If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.


                  12.
                  Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windscreen.


                  13.
                  Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.


                  14.
                  Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes from bad judgment.



                  15.
                  A closed mouth gathers no foot.



                  16.
                  There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.


                  17.
                  Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.


                  18.
                  Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.


                  19.
                  We are born naked, wet and hungry, get slapped on our arse ... then things just keep getting
                  worse.


                  20.
                  Never, under any circumstances,
                  take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same
                  night

                          JOHNNY >>>You Go Guy!

                          It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.


                          Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today."

                          Little Johnny says to himself, "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question."

                          Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"

                          Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."

                          Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."

                          Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.

                          Teacher: "Who said 'I have a dream'?"

                          Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King."

                          Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."

                          Johnny is even madder than before.

                          Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"

                          Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."

                          Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave."

                          Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer any of the questions.

                          When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!"

                          The teacher turns around: "Now who said that?"


                          Johnny: "Tiger Woods, can I go now?"

                            1. A day without sunshine is like night.

                            2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

                            3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

                            4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name..

                            5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

                            6. He who laughs last thinks slowest.

                            7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

                            8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the
                            cheese in the trap.

                            9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

                            10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

                            11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
