June 2 Links

It’s June already? Time sure flies! June is National Accordion Awareness Month. For the life of me, I can’t imagine how you’d be around any accordion music without being aware of it. Today, June 2nd, is the 40th anniversary of the release of the greatest album of all time (according to a lot of people) Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, a band that means something to us elderly folks.
On another subject, most of you know I write for several sites now so I’m surfing the net almost constantly. Sometimes big stories run through the web and I seem to completely miss them, but it’s often on purpose. This week, everyone was talking about the Monster Hog. Turns out it wasn’t quite what it seemed. And the Dutch game show where contestants competed for a kidney. That wasn’t real. Sometimes you have to go with the smell test. I’ve been had a couple of times, and it’s not fun.

THE FRIEND
A guy goes over to his friend's house, rings the bell, and the wife answers. "Hi, is Boris home?" asked Ned.
"No, he went to the store." replied the wife.
"Well, you mind if I wait?" asked Ned.
"No, come in." responded the wife.
They sit down and the friend says, "You know Sue, you have the greatest breasts I have ever seen. I'd give you a hundred bucks if I could just see one." Sue thinks about this for a second and figures what the hell - a hundred bucks. She opens her robe and shows one. He promptly thanks her and throws a hundred bucks on the table.
They sit there a while longer and Ned says, "They are so beautiful. I've got to see the both of them. I'll give you another hundred bucks if I could just see the both of them together." Sue thinks about this and thinks what the hell, opens her robe, and gives Ned a nice long look. Ned thanks her, throws another hundred bucks on the table, and then says he can't wait any longer and leaves.
A while later Boris arrives home and his wife says, "You know, your weird friend Ned came over."
Boris thinks about this for a second and says, "Well did he drop off the $200 he owes me?"

NAME THAT BEAST
One day the teacher decides to play an animal game. She holds up a picture of a giraffe and asks if anyone knows what it is.
No one raises their hand.
The teacher says, "See its long neck? What animal has a long neck?"
Sally holds up her hand and asks, "Is it a giraffe?"
"Very good Sally," the teacher replies.
Next she holds up a picture of a zebra. None of the students holds up their hands. "See the stripes on this animal? What animal has stripes?" asks the teacher.
Billy holds up his hand and says, "It's a zebra."
"Very good Billy," the teacher replies.
Next she holds up a picture of a deer. None of the students recognized the animal. "See the big antlers on this animal. What animal has horns like this?"
Still no one guesses. "Let me give you another hint, it's something your mother calls your father."
Johnny shouts out "I know what it is! It's a horny bastard."

If anyone wonders why you don’t see many political links here anymore, it’s because I post them all through the week at my linkdump, Miss C Recommends. You should check there for new links, both humorous and newsworthy, every day or two.
Thought for today: Friends are like butt cheeks. Crap might separate them, but they always come back together. (Thanks, April!)

On the hog story, that hog was abused imho. Not from being shot. Did you see that the thing was only 3 or 4 years old?????? Someone shoulda put his porky butt on a diet years ago!
But from the sound of it, the hunting lodge owners bought the hog. I didn't see anything that the kid or his father knew it was not wild (or recently homeless, so to speak).
