1. Merry Christmas!
2. Slow down and appreciate the reason for the season.
3. Pray for our troops.
4. Most networks have 5 ex-jocks and/or ex-coaches in the studio for NFL broadcasts. Most of them add nothing of value and are not even entertaining. Get rid of them!
5. How do you steal $50 billion in a ponzi scheme that lasted for years and years? The SEC must have overseers that are as blind as SEC refs.
6. How do you steal $50 billion and only get home detention? A normal person would be under the jail.
7. Of course the largest ponzi scheme ever known to man is call the Social Security System.
8. We bailed out the entire financial, mortgage, and banking industries and people still cannot get credit? What good did that do? Can anyone tell me where all that money went?
9. Hey Charles Barkley. Syracuse interviewed Turner Gill first and then hired another coach before Auburn did. Why are they not racist? Auburn didn’t deserve him. He is too good a person and coaches for the right reason.
10. Ever notice that restaurant and store employees park right next to the front door so that their customers have to walk a long way. Back in the day that didn’t happen, but back in the day there was a thing called customer service.
11. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, but it was His death that really saved us. He took all of our debts to the cross with him and gave us the ultimate bailout. Thank you, Jesus!!

Nagging wife, sausage help man win $4.2M lottery
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A “nagging” wife who pushed her husband to buy a lottery ticket helped scoop the $4.2 million ($7.7 million New Zealand dollar) first prize - with only minutes to spare. The man from New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, bought his ticket just two minutes before ticket sales closed Saturday night.

“My wife had been nagging me all week to get a ticket, so I when saw the Lotto sign … I sprinted in to get the ticket before they closed,” said the man, who asked not to be identified - normal practice among lottery winners in New Zealand .

“I must have been their last customer of the night,” he said, adding that the young married couple had had a “rough” couple of years, reduced to one income after having children.

“I have never been so glad to listen to my wife’s nagging,” the man said Tuesday.

He discovered their newly won fortune Sunday thanks to his wife’s request for a barbecued sausage.

Out shopping for bargains, the man said he didn’t have enough money to buy his wife the sausage she’d asked him for. So he decided to check his Saturday lottery ticket in case he’d won a small prize.

“I could not believe it when they said I was actually the big winner,” he said.

When he showed the printout to his wife, she initially thought they had won $4,200 (NZ$7,700).

“When she realized how much it really was, she fell to the floor, and then said: ‘but all I wanted was a sausage.’”

I guess nagging wives are good for something………………Not that Mrs. Redneck is a nagger. No way!!

Actor cuts his own throat in scene after fake knife replaced
Imagine watching an actor on stage performing a suicide scene, only to have the fake knife turn out to be a real one and the blood you see squirting from his neck is real, too.

That’s what happened in Vienna, Austria, recently to actor Daniel Hoevels who cut his own throat with what was supposed to be a blunt stage knife. It wasn’t. Police say somehow the fake knife was replaced with a real one and Hoevels, his neck slashed and bleeding, was taken to a hospital.

It all happened in front of a thrilled audience that didn’t know what they were watching was real.

Police are investigating whether the switch was intentional. Could another actor have taken jealousy to an almost murderous pitch?

Ain’t true that acting bidness is that cut throat ……………….

A NASCAR CHRISTMAS…

I’m not sure who wrote this, it is rather dated.
But I thought I’d still share since it’s Nascar related.

Twas the Race before Christmas and all through the track
Each driver was ready to make his attack.
The tires had been stacked by the pit crew with care
With hopes none of them would run out of air.
The drivers were belted all snug in their seats
Where visions of checkered flags looked mighty sweet.

Thanked all his sponsors and took the cash too
Stole a kiss from the trophy girl, and then off he flew
As he sped out of sight, one last cry did they hear.
“Merry Christmas to all, better luck next year!”

ll. Gov Blagojevich arrested on corruption charges

Tue Dec 9, 2008 10:44am EST

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on criminal charges on Tuesday, including trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fellow Democrat President-elect Barack Obama, federal prosecutors said.

Blagojevich was also accused of threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of the Chicago Cubs’ baseball home Wrigley Field “to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical” of him.

The 51-year-old Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were charged in a 76-page federal indictment with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. Both were taken into custody at their homes in Chicago.

In Illinois, the governor selects a successor when there is a mid-term Senate vacancy. Obama resigned from the Senate soon after winning the November 4 presidential election.

Blagojevich allegedly was caught on court-authorized wiretaps during the last month.

He was seeking a “substantial” salary for himself at a nonprofit foundation or union affiliated organization, a spot on a corporate board for his wife, promises of campaign cash, as well as a cabinet post or ambassadorship in exchange for his Senate choice, the FBI affidavit added.

Blagojevich, in his second term, is the latest in a string of Illinois governors to run afoul of the law. His immediate predecessor. George Ryan, is in jail following a federal corruption conviction.

“Many, including myself, thought that the recent conviction of a former governor would usher in a new era of honesty and reform in Illinois politics,” Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said in a statement.

“Clearly, the charges announced today reveal that the office of the Governor has become nothing more than a vehicle for self-enrichment, unrestricted by party affiliation and taking Illinois politics to a new low.”

Grant and Patrick Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, will detail the charges in a news conference at 11 a.m. CDT (1700 GMT) in Chicago.

Redneck Joke of the Week

Baptizing A Drunk Redneck
(Get out your Christian sense of humor)

A redneck is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk redneck walks into the water and bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the redneck, ‘Are you ready to find Jesus ?’

‘Yes I am’ replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the redneck, ‘Brother have you found Jesus ?’

The drunk replies, ‘No, I haven’t.’ The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, ‘Have you found Jesus , my brother?’

The drunk redneck again answers, ‘No, I have not found Jesus .’
By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds.

When the drunk redneck begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up. The preacher asks the drunk again, ‘For the love of God, have you found Jesus ?’

The drunk redneck wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,

‘Are you sure this is where he fell in?’

Hospital seeks dead man’s consent
MANCHESTER, England (UPI) — A woman said bosses at a Manchester, England, hospital asked that her deceased father sign a consent form before his death could be investigated.

Sally Guidon said she wrote to North Manchester General Hospital officials after the death of her father, James Johnson, 76, listing a series of complaints and asking for hospital staff to investigate the death, The Daily Mail reported Thursday.

However, Guidon said hospital bosses responded with a letter saying they needed Johnson to give written approval before his file could be opened.

“I cried for about an hour and a half when I got the letter,” Guidon said. “It was the final insult, I don’t know why I was surprised by it after seeing the way they cared for Dad — it is typical of them to make such a basic error.”

Hospital administrators said they apologized for the letter, which they blamed on an administrative error, and said the case will be investigated once Guidon’s mother, who was listed as her husband’s next of kin, gives permission to open the file.

City threatens to put lien on blind woman’s house over a penny
Eileen Wilbur was one penny short when she paid last year’s water bill. Now the city of Attleboro, Mass., is threatening to take action.

In a letter they paid 42 cents to mail, city officials say they’ll place a lien on the blind 74-year-old’s house unless she coughs up a penny by Dec. 10, according to the Associated Press.

City Collector Debora Marcoccio tells The Sun Chronicle that Wilbur should have paid the balance on her account when they sent out the original bill.

She says the lien notices are automatically printed. “It would be fiscally irresponsible for me to have staff weed through the bills and pull out any below a certain amount,” she says, according to the paper. ” And what would that amount be?”

Redneck Christmas – Here’s Your Sign

Redneck Education Tip of the Week: Physics

Does Santa Exist?
There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhists except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the work load for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau).

At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to works with, thanks the different time zones and the rotation of the Earth, assuming east to west travel (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second.
This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the Earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means that Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second - 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can
run (at best) 15 miles per hour (0.25 miles per second). The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element.

Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO® set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the “flying”
reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job cannot be done with eight or even nine of them - Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the Monarch).

600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the Earth’s atmosphere.

The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3
quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating a deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 mile per second in 0.001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 g’s. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he’s dead now. Merry Christmas.

2 dead in argument after Alabama-LSU game
EVERGREEN, Ala. — A man and woman were shot dead after an argument that witnesses said started over an Alabama-LSU football game, but sheriff’s investigators said Monday they continued to investigate the motive.

The Conecuh County sheriff’s office identified the victims as Dennis James Smith, 41, and Donna Kaye Hall Smith, 39, of Brewton. The two were shot to death about 7 p.m. Saturday in the rural community of Owassa in southern Alabama.

Michael W. Williams, 28, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder over the shooting at his home, where he had watched the game. He was being held Monday without bond. A sheriff’s investigator handling the case did not know if he had an attorney.

An investigator said Monday that people watching the game at Williams’ home said the dispute was over the game, which Alabama won 27-21 in overtime Saturday, but an investigation into the motive was not complete. The investigator also said alcohol may have been a factor.

According to witness accounts to investigators, Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called Williams, an Alabama fan, after the game, and the Smiths then went to Williams’ home, where a physical altercation led to the shooting.

Investigators said Dennis Smith had a pistol and Williams had a shotgun and fired.
Authorities said Donna Smith was a relative of Williams’ girlfriend.

Relatives of both the victims and the suspect either declined comment or did not immediately return phone messages Monday from The Associated Press.

Football in the SEC is not a life or death matter. It is far more important than that!

Redneck Joke of the Week

DWI - TEXAS STYLE

Recently a routine police patrol car was parked outside a bar in Texas. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.   The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.   After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it.  He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.  Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off; it was a fine, dry summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights.  He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.

At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!  Dumbfounded, the officer said, ‘I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station.  This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’

‘I doubt it,’ said the truly proud Redneck.  ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’

Ain’t True

The Washington Redskins have proven to be a time-tested predictor. In the previous elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power. This is accurate 94.7% of the time.

The only miss in 19 elections was in 2004. The Redskins were defeated by the Green Bay Packers 28-14, but Bush was re-elected.

This election? The Redskins were defeated at home by the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-6 on the eve of the election and the Democrats regained the White House.

Ain’t true that the media watched the game on November 3rd and made their predictions. Heck, they decided that over six months ago!

Redneck Joke of the Week

George Phillips, 82,  a redneck from Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked ‘Is someone in your house?’ and he said ‘no’. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, ‘Okay,’ hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. “Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.” Then he hung up. Within five minutes six police cars , a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence and caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George: ‘I thought you said that you’d shot them!’ George said, ‘I thought you said there was nobody available!’ Don’t mess with old rednecks.

Ain’t True

Dog bites reporter
By BEN FELLER
WASHINGTON (AP) — Talk about a biting critique of the press.

It seems President Bush’s dog Barney wasn’t much in the mood for friendly attention during his walk outside the White House on Thursday. So when Reuters reporter Jon Decker reached down to pet the Scottish terrier, the seemingly docile dog snapped at him and bit Decker’s right index finger.

Reporter April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks happened to capture the moment on video.

And, naturally, it soon wound up on YouTube. The video comes to an end with a freeze frame on Barney’s fangs.

Barney won’t have to worry about bothersome reporters much longer. The Bush administration ends in 75 days, and the president is headed back to Texas.

Sally McDonough, a spokeswoman for first lady Laura Bush, said of Barney: “I think it was his way of saying he was done with the paparazzi.”

Mrs. Bush asked McDonough to call Decker and make sure he was fine. She reports that Decker “is being a good sport about it all.”

The intrepid reporter got bandaged up by the White House doctor.

As he says in the YouTube clip: “I got bit by Barney, and unfortunately it broke the skin, and I have to be on antibiotics for the next few days.”

Consider it a cautionary tale. The incoming president, Barack Obama, has promised to buy daughters Malia and Sasha a puppy.

I would like to bite the media and I think Bush would too! It ain’t true that W told Barney to sic ‘em.

Ghost car racks up tickets

Published: Nov. 2, 2008 at 2:14 PM

CHICAGO, Nov. 2 (UPI) — Chicago police say they are investigating how a 1992 Chevrolet Lumina racked up nearly $4,000 in tickets in the year after it was presumed crushed.

Cheryl Thomas said the police became involved after notices seeking payment for nearly $4,000 were mailed to her home in Alsip, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday.

“The police told me the car was destroyed, but it’s still moving around,” said Thomas, whose son, Gene, owned the car until it was impounded last year and ordered crushed by police after he failed to pay $500 in storage and towing fees, the Sun-Times reported.

During the next 12 months, toll cameras photographed the car nearly 200 times as it breezed through tollbooths without paying a cent, the Sun-Times reported.

Untangling the car’s recent history has been difficult with police reporting the car was crushed, not crushed, sold, then not sold, the Sun-Times reported, noting police say the car currently is undriveable and sitting in a city-owned lot, though police would not allow the Sun-Times to see the car.

This from a city where dead people have been voting for years!

One day, two rednecks named Bubba and Earl were driving down the road, drinking a couple of Buds. The passenger, Bubba, said, “Lookey thar up ahead Earl, it’s a po-leece roadblock! We’re gonna get busted fer drinkin’ these here beers!”

“Don’t worry Bubba,” Earl said. “We’ll just pull over and finish drinkin’ these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, then throw the bottles under the seat.”

“What fer?” asked Bubba.

“Just let me do the talkin’, okay?” said Earl.

They finished their beers, threw the empty bottles under the seat and slapped the labels on their foreheads.
When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, “Have you boys been drinking?”

“No sir,” said Earl, “We’re on the patch.”

UCLA Study Finds That Searching the Internet Increases Brain Function in Older Adults

Researchers found volunteers with prior experience in Web searching registered a twofold increase in brain activation

(10/29/2008)

UCLA scientists have found that for computer-savvy older adults, searching the Internet triggers key centers in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning. The findings demonstrate that Web search activity may help stimulate and possibly improve brain function.

The study, the first of its kind to assess the impact of Internet searching on brain performance, is currently in press at the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and will appear in an upcoming issue.

As the brain ages, a number of structural and functional changes occur, including atrophy, reductions in cell activity, and increases in deposits of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which can impact cognitive function.

Researchers noted that pursuing activities that keep the mind engaged may help preserve brain health and cognitive ability. Traditionally, these include games such as crossword puzzles, but with the advent of technology, scientists are beginning to assess the influence of computer use—including the Internet.

For the study, the UCLA team worked with 24 neurologically normal research volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half of the study participants had experience searching the Internet, while the other half had no experience. Age, educational level, and gender were similar between the two groups.

Researchers found that during Web searching, volunteers with prior experience registered a twofold increase in brain activation when compared with those with little Internet experience.

Ain’t true that if you spend all of your time surfing the web that you will be any smarter. It just means that your lazy butt has no life!

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

10-year-old driver flips van in Tenn.
Oct. 7, 2008 10:08 AM
Associated Press

A 10-year-old was driving up to 90 mph when he crashed a van carrying a man who told police he had drank at least 15 beers and a woman who was trying to swallow as many pills as she could when deputies arrived at the scene, Tennessee authorities said Tuesday.

The young driver lost control and the vehicle rolled, coming to rest on its top in northeastern Tennessee, Sullivan County authorities said. The two adults and three children in the van were taken to Bristol Memorial Hospital with minor injuries following Sunday’s crash.

Police charged 43-year-old Randy Lewis of Bristol with seven violations, including third offense DUI and felony reckless endangerment. People can be charged with DUI in Tennessee if they own the vehicle, even if they are not driving. A booking photo released by the Sheriff’s Office showed Lewis wearing a T-shirt that said, “Buy this dad a beer.” Paula Elaine Evans, who is 38 and also of Bristol, faces charges that include aggravated child abuse or neglect.

Lewis and Evans were being held in the Sullivan County Jail after a judge increased their bonds on Tuesday to $50,000 each at an arraignment hearing.

County jailers did not know if Lewis and Evans had retained attorneys and no one was immediately available to answer questions at the Sullivan County Public Defender’s office.

The sheriff’s office said Lewis acknowledged drinking liquor besides the beers.

The children - two 10-year-olds and a 6-year-old - were related to the adults, said authorities who declined to further detail the relationships.

The children were released to the Tennessee Children’s Services Department after being treated at the hospital.

Another example of “excellent parenting”. Oh, boy!!

Redneck Joke of the Week (compliments of my redneck buddy, Bill)

Bubba had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water across the lake on their 21st birthday.  On that special day, they’d each walked across the lake to the bar on the far side for their first legal drink.

So when Bubba’s 21st birthday came a round, he and his pal Jim Bob took a boat out to the middle of the lake, Bubba stepped out of the boat …. and nearly drowned! Jim Bob just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Bubba went to see his grandmother. ‘Grandma,’ he asked, ‘it’s my 21st birthday, so why can’t I walk ‘cross the lake like my pappy, his father, and his father before him?’

Granny looked deeply into Bubba’s troubled eyes and said, ‘Because your father, your grandfather and your great grandfather were born in January, when the lake is frozen, and you were born in July, you dumb &#*@.

The colossal Caterpillar 793 is one of the coolest pieces of heavy machinery on the planet. Traditionally powered by immense 16-cylinder engines churning out over 2000 HP, we’re now being told by Caterpillar that a new electric-drive version is on the way. But don’t think that means it’s going soft. The new 793F AC can carry about 250 tons of junk in its trunk, and that’s just the entry-level model. The burly 795F AC can take about 400 tons.

Redneck Education Tip of the Week: Redneck Economics

(compliments of my Redneck Retirement Financial Planner)

I was explaining to my youngin’s my investment strategy, why money can’t buy happiness, and some basic stock market definitions. Like the following:

BEAR MARKET — A 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelry, and the husband gets no “fun”.

BROKER — What my financial advisor has made me.

BULL MARKET — A random market movement causing an investor who mistakes himself for a financial genius.

CASH FLOW – The movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet.

FINANCIAL PLANNER — A guy whose phone has been disconnected.

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR — Former investor who’s now locked up in a nuthouse.

MARKET CORRECTION — The day after you buy stocks.

P/E RATIO — The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing.

PROFIT — An archaic word no longer in use.

STOCK ANALYST — Idiot who just downgraded your stock.

STOCK SPLIT — When your ex-wife and her lawyer split your assets equally between themselves.

VALUE INVESTING — The art of buying low and selling lower.

In light of recent events, the Treasury Department has issued a new dollar bill………

(Thanks to my redneck buddy, Tim Bob, for this pitcher………….)

It is all about perspective…

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.   But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon! Makes you proud to be an American.

Hospital tells grandfather, 71, that he’s pregnant

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A patient treated for agonizing abdominal pain received this surprising news in the hospital’s paperwork: “Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant.” Surprising indeed for 71-year-old John Grady Pippen.

The staff at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach gave the retired mechanic and logger the ridiculously happy news this month, along with some pain pills.

Hospital administrator William McMillan says an errant keystroke caused the hospital’s computer to spit out the wrong discharge instructions for the grandfather.

Redneck Joke of the Week (compliments of my wannabe redneck buddy, Yankee Frank)

A Redneck from Alabama walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Bakersfield on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into
the bank’s underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The Alabama Redneck replied, “Where else in New York City, can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?”

Redneck Ramblins

1. I told Mrs. Redneck the other night that now that I don’t have to impress anybody anymore that I was going to grow a mullet. Mrs. Redneck let me know ratnow that this was not a good idea. She even gave me THE LOOK!
2. Since I have paid all of my bills on time, why do I feel like I am about to be screwed on the gummit buyout deal?
3. Who oversees the overseers?
4. It’s all about GREED!
   1. Corporate greed
   2. Shareholder greed
   3. Consumer greed – don’t buy somethin’ ya can’t pay fer!
5. I have time now that I am retired to play the gas market. Yep, I get to decide when to fill up the muscle car with premium.
6. I am glad that I am writing this blog. I have heard from folks that I haven’t heard from in years. Amazing when you dis their team how angry they get. No, Vince Jr, I will not kiss yours, because your butt’s in B’ham and I ain’t traveling. Same to Marilyn in Jax and her big toe.  Also to many, it is physically impossible to do that to myself.
7. As my redneck son reminded me, I knowed them lines before I drawed ‘em.
8. Everybody seems surprised that China is producing products that are crap and that are making kids sick, killing pets. Folks, they don’t have gummit regulations over there (no EPA, no OSHA, no labor laws) that would cost them millions and millions per plant. That’s how they produce it so cheap. And what is worse, is that they don’t care! Do not buy China junk – ‘course good luck buying almost anything anymore not made in China. My grandmamma used to say “You get what you pay for”.
9. Almost the same goes for Mexico. The recent scares in the veggie bidness? They irrigate their crops with sewage water (good fertilizer though) and then use non-potable water in the produce plants. Any wonder why e. coli and salmonella end up in yer food? Remember the saying “Don’t drink the water”? The big surprise to me was that our federal gummit took 6 whole weeks to figure it out.
10. Is there a bigger dummy than Josh Howard? Where else can an average basketball player make the millions he does? Hey, Josh, why don’t you take yer ignert butt someplaceelse. And folks want to know why I don’t watch the NBA? Same reason I don’t watch anything out of Hollywood.
11. Think gas cost a lot now? Wait until a hurricane does major damage to gulf petro facilities or someone shoots somebody’s camel in the Middle East.
12. The politicians should have included themselves in the Do Not Call list and I approve of this message.

Passengers Forced to Get Out and Push Broken Airplane Off Runway

Friday , September 26, 2008

A budget Chinese airline took flying pains to a new level Thursday after it made passengers get out and help push their broken plane to the gate, the Daily Mail reported.

The CRJ7 plane, with 69 passengers and seven crew members on board, had just flown from Guilin in the south of China, to Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province. The plane landed safely but then died before it could taxi to the arrivals terminal.

The staff could not push the airplane on its own, so the passengers were asked to pitch in. Even with the added muscle power, it took the group nearly two hours to get the plane off the runway.

“Thank God it was only a 20-ton medium-sized airplane,” one of the airport workers told the Daily Mail. “If it were a big plane, it would have knocked us out.”

My redneck friends at American assure me that this is not an idea for one of their new fees. It’s just another example of Chinese crap quality.

Inmate wins $295K because of moldy, smelly mattress

A jury ruled last week that a convicted felon should receive $295,000 because he was forced to sleep on a “wet, moldy and foul smelling” mattress at a prison in Wisconsin, The Smoking Gun reports.

Reggie Townsend, 29, is serving a 23-year sentence for his role in the shooting death of an 11-year-old girl.

The Wisconsin State Journal says jurors concluded that guards denied Townsend “the minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities.” “I think the jury was rightfully upset at the way the prisoners had been treated,” David Harth, his lawyer, tells the paper. “It wasn’t a one-off thing. It was what happened during a 60-day stay in segregation.”

The prison guard may appeal the ruling, according to the State Journal.

Even though I think that this is a huge waste of the judicial system’s time and effort, I am okay with the verdict as long as he gives the $295k to the 11-year-old victim’s family.

Redneck Joke of the Week (compliments of my redneck buddy, Doug)

A filthy rich North Carolina man decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbors. He also invited Leroy, the only redneck in the neighborhood. He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion.

Leroy was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating shrimp, oysters and BBQ and flirting with all the women. At the height of the party, the host said, “I have a 10 ft man-eating gator in my pool and I’ll give a million dollars to anyone who has the nerve to jump in.” The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash and everyone turned around and saw Leroy in the pool!

Leroy was fighting the gator and kicking its butt!

Leroy was jabbing the gator in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, head butts and choke holds, biting the gator on the tail and flipping the gator through the air like some kind of Judo Instructor.

The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Leroy and the gator were screaming and raising hell.

Finally Leroy strangled the gator and let it float to the top like a dime store goldfish. Leroy then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was just staring at him in disbelief.

Finally the host says, “Well, Leroy, I reckon I owe you a million dollars.”

“No, that’s okay. I don’t want it,” said Leroy.

The rich man said, “Man , I have to give you something.”

“You won the bet. How about half a million bucks then?”

“No thanks, I don’t want it,” answered Leroy.

The host said, “Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?”

Again Leroy said no.

Confused, the rich man asked, “Well, Leroy, then what do you want?”

Leroy said, “I want the name of the sumbich who pushed me in the pool!”

Ain’t True

The dummies in Washington think that building a wall will solve our immigration problem. “It’s the economy stupid”, as they like to spout. The Mexican economy is so far worse than that in the USA that their people risk their very lives to enter this country. A wall will not stop them. They will just use the thousands of tunnels that they have already dug or ride in the back of a semi.

Maybe the dummies in Washington are to blame. They passed the legislation that makes us give the illegal aliens free education, freemedical care, drivers licenses, and other public assistance all without having to pay any taxes or insurance. What part of illegal do they not understand?

Maybe we oughta build a wall on the Canadian border! Them Canucks are really causing a problem, eh!

Redneck Ramblins

1. Gas at $4 is bad enough. You would think that the stations could now afford to put paper in pumps for receipts, change the water in the washer stations, get some new squeegees, and clean the restrooms.
2. Remember when gas was 20 cents and the nice guys, as they pumped your gas for you, checked your oil, battery, radiator, cleaned your windshield, and aired up the tires? And then they thanked you for business.
3. We don’t need more government regulation, we need corporate responsibility!
4. Tell me one thing besides war that the federal gummit can do better than private enterprise?
5. Come to think of it, if we told a redneck mercenary force that Osamba bin Laden was responsible for Dale Earnhardt’s death, he would be found by sundown.
6. Another Auburn grad died this week. This time at a pie eating contest. Yep, a cow stepped on him.
7. Ever seen a Florida State grad in a three piece suit without hearing “will the defendant please rise”?
8. Am I supposed to feel sorry for those that were told to evacuate or die and now refuse to leave a place that is uninhabitable?
9. The TV remote is a wonderful thing during election season and I approve of this message.
10. If NASCAR adopted the English only policy that the LPGA tried, there would be only 5-6 cars on the track each week. Them good ol’ boys ain’t bilingual.
11. Some people have asked why I don’t write this entire blog in Suthern. Well, some Yankees read this and I don’t want them to be confused with things like retard and retired.

Woman faces charge after dishwashing dispute

Sep 15, 4:49 PM (ET)
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Police say a 20-year-old woman faces an aggravated assault charge after she bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword during an argument about him not doing the dishes.

The woman was arrested Thursday afternoon at the couple’s apartment, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on its Web site.

The 21-year-old man told police that he became involved in an argument because the woman was upset that the dishes were not clean. Police Lt. Paul Henderson said the woman told the man to leave the apartment, but he refused.

Henderson said the woman then tried to physically remove the man. During the ensuing struggle, the woman bit the man’s right shoulder and broke a picture frame across his face, causing visible cuts, Henderson said.

The woman then grabbed an approximately 2-foot sword and swung it at him, but missed, police said.

The woman was released from a Mansfield jail after posting a $10,000 bond, jail officials said.

You still wundering why I do the dishes everyday???

Redneck Joke of the Week (compliments of my redneck buddy, Rich J. – a yankee)

One morning three Alabama good old boys and three Yankees were in a ticket line at the Birmingham train station heading to Atlanta for a big football game.

The three Northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three Southerners bought just one ticket between them.

‘How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?’ asked one of the Yankees.

‘Watch and learn,’ answered one of the boys from the South.

When the six travelers boarded the train, the three Yankees sat down, but the three Southerners crammed into a bathroom together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, ‘Ticket, please.’ The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The Yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to the Atlanta train station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while to their astonishment the three Southerners didn’t buy even one ticket.

‘How are you going to travel without a ticket?’ asked one of the perplexed Yankees.

‘Watch and learn,’ answered one of the Southern boys.

When they boarded the train, the three Northerners crammed themselves into a bathroom and the three Southerners crammed themselves into the other bathroom across from it. Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Southerners left their bathroom and walked quietly over to the Yankee’s bathroom. He knocked on the door and said, ‘Ticket, please.’

There’s just no way on God’s green earth to explain how the Yankees won the war.
