On a hot day recently in New York, a woman was seen walking down the street topless.  And, the police just watched as she strolled past them.

It seems a few years ago, a woman was arrested for being topless in public.  At the trial, the case was thrown out for sexual discrimination.  That’s right.  Since men are allowed to go topless in public, women are also allowed to go topless.  To single out women for going topless is sexual discrimination.  So, they can go topless if they choose to do so.

But, given the small size of some swimsuits that women wear, they may just as well go topless.  The suit certainly doesn’t protect them from the sun.  Or on lookers.

Saint Anthony is missing!  At least, the relic of Saint Anthony is missing, though, we don’t know what that is.

But, more to the point, this relic was housed in a gold case and someone stole it.

Gold. Stolen.  Duh!!!  They probably didn’t even realize what they took.

St Anthony is the patron saint for lost items.  So, it should only be a matter of time before he returns himself to his proper location.

I don’t make this stuff up!

Today, I decided to walk downtown to get a Jimmy Johns’ (gourmet sub shop) for lunch.  Since I had a meeting at 12:30, I got headed out at 11 to beat the lunch time rush.

When I got within a block of Jimmy Johns’ I noticed a crowd standing on the side walk.  Since the sub shop is near the Capitol, I assumed that these were protestors of some sort.  But, the closer that I got, I realized that the crowd went around the corner and on down the street.

Well, as it turns out, these weren’t protestors, this was a line waiting to get into Jimmy Johns’!!  Wow!  Once I realized that this was a line, I did a quick count.  There were about 600 people  by my count.  And, they all had Jimmy Johns’ menus in their hands.

Now, while I didn’t know where all of these people had come from, I did know that I didn’t have time to wait in line.  So, I went on down the street.

When I got back to work I mentioned the crowd to my co-workers.  They told me that Jimmy Johns’ was running a one day special.  They were selling some of their subs for only $1.

While I can appreciate a “good deal”, I am not willing to wait in line for an hour.  Besides, the subs that were on sale are not the ones that I would normally buy, sale or no sale.

The Chinese buffet was very good.

Well, Hugh Hefners’ fiances has decided to call off their wedding that was scheduled for next week.

I guess at 25, she was having second thoughts about having an 85 year old husband.

Oh well, what can I say?  Maybe she didn’t like the idea of old age creeping up on her.

In an effort to control greenhouse gases, Australia has declared open season on Camels. So, you can now shoot as many as you want.

It seems that the wild camel population has gotten out of control in recent years.  And, given the amount of methane that they belch, the government thinks that it would be best just to eliminate them.

I wonder if that is why we have so much greenhouse gas blowing in from Iowa?  Moo!

A local car dealership is advertizing a free stainless steel grill with every new car purchase.

Now, I don’t care whether my grill is stainless steel or chrome.  So, I asked the sales person if I could substitute the stainless steel grill for alloy wheels?  I got a blank look in response.

So, I asked the man if it was easier to clean bugs off of stainless steel than off of chrome?  He gave me a funny look and asked why I would have bugs on my grill.  So, I told him that I do a lot of highway driving and that I get a lot of bugs on my grill.

Confused, he asked if I drove with the grill in my back of my truck?  I told him that I didn’t have a truck but I did keep the grill on the front of my car.

At this point in time, the man went on “tilt”.  Then he said that the it was a barbeque grill and not an automotive grill.  “OH”!!!!

Now, since I didn’t need a grill, I asked him if I could substitute the grill for alloy wheels?  He didn’t think so.

I was out having drinks with a couple from work.  I ordered a scotch on the rocks, he ordered a mango fruit drink and she did not order anything.

When the waitress brought the drinks she said “Who ordered the scotch.”  I raised my hand and she said “Of course.”  She then sat the mango drink in front of my female co-worker.

At that point in time, she started laughing and he turned red in the face.  When the waitress left, she passed the drink over to him.  We all laughed.

I suggested that maybe next time, he should order a manly drink.

The other day, I was shopping for fresh orange juice at Meijer (regional grocery chain).  After putting a couple of quarts in my cart, I started to move on.

That is when I heard it, that sickening sound that shoes make when they have goo on the bottoms of them.  Apparently, there was orange juice on the floor in front of the cooler.  Yuck!!

Next stop, the jelly isle.  And yes, you guessed it,  I got sticky fingers!

Well, the shoe sound I can tolerate but the sticky fingers had to go.  So, the next stop was the restroom.  Some water and a paper towel and I was good to go.  No foot squish, no sticky fingers.

Life is good.  🙂

During WWII, the Nazis were trying to teach dogs to read and talk.  I wonder if the first word that they learned was “woof”?

Today was helmet day at the Michigan State Capitol.

Every year, hundreds of bikers ride their motorcycles to the Capitol to protest the states helmet law.  When they get there, they ditch their helmets and take turns riding around the capitol in protest.  Then at noon when the news crews arrive, they have protest speeches which declare the helmet law to be unconstitutional.

This year, as in the past, they are certain that the helmet law will be repealed.  Both the House and the Senate are in favor of the repeal so, all they need is the Governor to support it.

Of course, they have been trying to get the helmet law repealed for over 40 years.  And, every year they have been certain that this would be the year.

Well, it hasn’t happened yet and I doubt that it will.  But, the bikers are more interesting than most of the protesters in Lansing.

Maybe they should try protesting in February.
