Happy Groundhog Day! I posted about it once, Groundhogs and Other Critters, so if you’re into the holiday, you can check that out. February snuck up on me. I guess I should start collecting all those little slips of paper to do my taxes with. Actually, I don’t do my own taxes. You’d think that since I don’t itemize, it would be easy enough, but NOoooo. Since I don’t have a “job”, I have several small sources of income. Ten to be exact. I think. Then there’s that self-employment tax and two kids and the cost of “doing business”, and... uh, I didn’t do my own taxes even before all that. Just collecting the neccessary paperwork is enough stress for me. I can’t even remember to pay my monthly bills lately, so I’d never trust myself to navigate a 1040A. And I need to plant my tomatoes.

THE BODYBUILDER

A bodybuilder was busy training on the beach when a couple of young girls came running past. He saw this and started posing for them. He showed them his biceps and said, "Ten pounds of dynamite!" And, the girls almost fainted.

Next he showed them his bulging chest and said, "Twenty pounds of dynamite!" And, the girls started screaming.

At this stage the bodybuilder was so full of it, that he desired to show them his legs. He bulged his left leg and suddenly his pants fell down.

One of the girls shouted, "Let's run for it. Look how short his fuse is!"

SUSPICION

(via Phil’s Phun)
A wife suspected that her husband was having an affair with the maid.

She thought of a plan to take him by surprise. One Friday she told the maid to take the day off and that night she went into the maid's room, switched off all the lights and, in pitch darkness, slipped into the bed.

Sure enough at midnight, there were footsteps and a figure opened the door and slipped into the maid's bed beside her. After an hour of wild, passionate sex, the wife, still in ecstatic reverie, switched on the lights and blurted,

"WELL - Are you surprised?"

"I sure am, ma'am!" stammered the chauffeur.
