Wildlife tragedy

This is such a tragedy to see what they have done to our country's wildlife!

The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect US wildlife



Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party..... as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance.

This photo is of a Democrat black bear in Montana nicknamed . .. . Bearack Obearma.

Morning chuckle

This one was pretty good - from Galexy on the Florida SCRC board

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned fifty something.)

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?'

'Oh no,' I replied... 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?

'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

'No,' I said.

He looked at me and said,... 'Then, why do you even give a damn?

Here's Your Sign

For those fans of Bill Engvall and his "Here's your sign" series of comedy. This was posted in the Florida SCRC forum. I find it sooooooooo hard to believe and then I remember people are generally idiots.


HERE'S YOUR SIGN : My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you gave me too much money.'I said, 'Yes, I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.'She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said, 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.'The clerk then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald's.

HERE'S YOUR SIGN : We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.'I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'We haven't used Sears repair since. Happened in Ottawa, ON

HERE'S YOUR SIGN : I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'Story from Collingwood, ON

HERE'S YOU SIGN IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. From Winnipeg, Manitoba

HERE'S YOUR SIGN : I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'Happened in Toronto, Ontario

HERE'S YOUR SIGN : The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'She is a government employee in Montreal, P.Q.

HERE'S YOUR SIGN : When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it.We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it?s open!'His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'This was at the Ford dealership in Guelph, Ontario STAY ALERT!

So, you thinkg the Smart Car is cute?

We have all seen the smart cars I'm sure. Those roller skates that, in truth, look more like a golf cart with a body than anything else. Perhaps you've been attracted to the economy of such a small car. Or perhaps to the off base "cuteness". If you read the web sites they tout the safety of the smart car. Well perhaps we ought to evaluate reality.

Before:


After (hint - look BETWEEN the trucks):


This should give some pause to the thought of surviving an accident in a smart car. Whatever happened to good ole American IRON :)
