My favorite machine at the fitness center where I work out is the vending machine.

Maybe that's why when I willed my body to science, science contested the will.

A while back Soho Kev left here after a dispute with the powers that be at OP.

I wondered if anyone has heard from him recently. I always enjoyed his blogs and was wondering what he's been up to lately.

Comedian Steve Martin honed his talent for crafting balloon animals, a staple of his early stand-up act, while working at Disneyland's Main Street Magic Shop in the early 1960s.

A Scotsman came into his bedroom where his wife was reading a book. He had a sheep on a leash.

"Honey," he said, "this is the cow I have sex with when you have a headache."

His wife looked up and laughed. "If you weren't such an idiot you'd know that isn't a cow. It's a sheep."

The Scotsman replied, "If you weren't such a presumptuous bitch you'd know I was talking to the sheep."

When You Get to be My Age
Posted:Feb 20, 2010 4:42 am

Here are two things that happen when you get to be my age:

1. Three guys my age lived together in a big house. The first guy went upstairs, drew himself a bath, and stuck one foot in the water. He stopped and yelled downstairs, "Was I getting into this bath or out of it?

A second guy yelled back,"Wait a minute. I'll come up and see." He got half way up the stairs and stopped. He yelled to the third guy,"Was I going up these stairs or coming down?"

The third guy tapped his knuckles on the kitchen table and said, "I hope I never get as senile as you guys. I'll answer your question as soon as I see who's at the door."

2. Two guys my age were in a car. As they approached an intersection, the light turned red, but the guy driving kept going right through it. The passenger got a little nervous.

At the next intersection the same thing happened. Red light, no stop. And at the next intersection it happened again.

Finally the passenger said, "Sam, you're going to get us killed. That's three red lights in a row you ran."

Sam looked at his friend and said, "Shit! Am I driving?"
