Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A man walks into a shoe store, and tries on a pair of shoes. "How
do they feel?" asks the sales clerk.

"Well they feel a bit tight," replies the man.

The assistant promptly bends down and has a look at the shoes and
at the man's feet. "Try pulling the tongue out," the clerk says.

"Well, theyth sthill feelth a bith tighth."

Beth had never been fishing in her entire life, but she wasn't
about to tell her new rich boyfriend that. "What? And look
like an idiot?" she said to her girlfriend MoJo.

After about an hour aboard his yacht, she turned to her new
boyfriend and said, "Umm, those little red and white thingees?
How much do they cost?"

Radix looked at her a little funny, shrugged, and said, "The
float? I guess they're about a dollar. Why do you ask?"

"I owe you a dollar then. Mine just sank."

Thought for the day :
"They know enough who know how to learn."

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Click on the pic and I'll guide you
to the start of today's thread


Are you healthy enough to be a Navy SEAL?
When it comes to physical training, these guys are the real deal.
The world's toughest military regimen makes our fitness expert's exercise routine look like kid stuff.

Even in my "prime" I would have never been able to qualify.
It's no wonder only 30% that start ever become a bona fide SEAL
26 weeks of sea, land and air training THEN 6 months probation on a SEAL team.
One full year before you are finally a SEAL.
