Say WHEN

You know some news items are just too damn strange to be real but real they are – for example:

HAMMOND, Ind. — An armed robber held up a Hammond gas station and tried holding up a bar Sunday with a unique tool.
Court records allege that James P, 39, used a cheese grater during his crimes. Police said one of the would-be victims realized it wasn’t a gun and threw him out of the bar.

OR THIS ONE

FLINT, Mich. — Flint police will begin arresting people who wear sagging pants.
Police Chief David Dicks said in a memo that anyone wearing pants or shorts that exposed their buttocks could be arrested for indecent exposure.
Dicks said the immoral “self-expression” went beyond free speech, rising to the crime of indecent exposure. Those who wear sagging pants will be fined and could spend a year in jail.
The American Civil Liberties Union said it was reviewing whether the new law racially targeted certain people.

I rather like the sagging pants arrest but you can count on the infamous ACLU to come up with some nonsense that prohibits such arrests and like other states, Michigan shall endure this style of dressing along with the rest of us. Personally I don’t understand why young men find this attractive or even comfortable. I remember when some “folks” thought a two piece bath suit was disgusting and shorts – Capri pants were okay but shorts – oh no, that was blasphemy and we were headed straight to hell.

Once again we are dealing with wet weather and I just had my driveway sealed – two days before we should drive on it and that’s to insure it’s dry – hummmm, does rain add days to the drying process?

A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a "Handywoman" and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, "How much will you charge me?"

The blonde quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blonde replied," and I had paint leftover, so I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her.

"And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porsche, it's a Lexus.
