Two Eskimos

[campfire]

Two guys were hiking in the forest when suddenly a bear surged out from behind a bush. They began running in the opposite direction, so the bear gave chase. Both hikers are running for their lives, when one of them stops and starts to put on his running shoes.

The friend says, "What are you doing? You can't outrun a bear!"

He replies, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!" And he was off...

A large, well established, Canadian lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good lumberjack.

The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe, and knocked on the head lumberjacks' door. The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave.

"Just give me a chance to show you what I can do," said the skinny man.

"Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" said the lumberjack. "Take your axe and go cut it down."

The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack's door. "I cut the tree down," said the man.

The lumberjack couldn't believe his eyes and said, "Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?"

"In the Sahara Forest," replied the puny man.

"You mean the Sahara Desert," said the lumberjack.

The little man laughed and answered back, "Oh sure, that's what they call it now!"

On the way to a monthly meeting, an elderly lady was stopped by a highway patrolman. He asked for her driver's license and insurance. The lady took out the required information and handed it to the patrolman. In with the cards he was surprised to see she had a conceal carry permit. He looked at her and asked if she had a weapon in her possession at this time. She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box. Something, body language or the way she said it, made him want to ask if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having a 9 mm Glock in her center console. Now he had to ask one more time if that was all, and she responded once again she did have just one more, a .38 special in her purse. The officer then asked her what was she so afraid of? She looked him right in the eye and said, "Not a damn thing!"

John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully. 'Give me one last request, dear,'he said.

'Of course, John,' his wife said softly.

'Six months after I die,' he said, 'I want you to marry Bob.'

'But I thought you hated Bob,' she said.

With his last breath John said, 'I do!'

In line at the grocery store an older gentleman was asked by the clerk if next time he came would he bring his own grocery bag because plastic wasn't good for the environment.

The old guy said "Oh yeah, stay green, right?

The clerk responded, "that is our problem today because your generation didn't care enough to save the environment."

The old man responded: "Really. Sonny, in my day we returned our milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store so they could be returned to the plant, rewashed, sterilized and refilled. We walked up stairs because they didn't have escalators and we didn't climb into a 300 horsepower machine everytime we had to walk two blocks.

We washed baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We washed clothes and hung them on the line to dry instead of sucking 240 volts at thirty amps from the grid. We used solar and wind power to do it. We had one TV with a screen the size of a handkerchief not a screen the size of Cleveland. In the kitchen we stirred by hand because we didn't have fifteen appliances preparing our food. When we mowed the lawn, we didn't fire up a gas engine, we used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't have to go to a health club and run on a machine that sucked more power from the precious grid.

And kids rode their bikes or the school bus to school. They didn't turn their mothers into a 24 hour a day taxi service burning more fossil fuels. And we sure as hell didn't need electronics communicating with a satellite 2,000 miles in space to find the nearest pizza joint.

So, take your green thing and shove it up your ass. Your generation is finding a lot more ways to screw up the environment than mine did.

As many of you know, Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot most of the time, this gave him very calloused feet. He also eschewed most worldly things, such as a rich diet, so he ate very little, which made him quite frail. His poor diet, however, also gave him pretty bad breath...

which made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Hot Air Balloon


A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,


"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."


The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.


She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican.


"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"


"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."


The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama-Democrat."


"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"


"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are -- or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.

You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Two Good ol' boys in a North Carolina Mountain bar were sitting around talking one afternoon
over a cold beer after getting off of work at their local Nissan plant.

Pretty soon, the 1st guy says to the 2nd, "If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday
& make love to your wife while you was off huntin' and she got pregnant and had a baby,
would that make us kin?"

The 2nd guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head, and squinted his eyes
thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says,

"Well, I don't know about kin, but it would sure make us even.
