Weekend Humor


A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.

The frog said to her "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes."

The woman freed the frog and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes-that whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!"

 The woman said, "That would be okay," and for her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that women will flock to."

The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me."

So, KAZAM she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you."

The woman said, "That will be okay because what is mine is his and what is his is mine."

So, KAZAM - she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Karma is a Bitch (or this is just Florida)


I don't know how many more times I'm going to write about George Zimmerman, the man who killed an unarmed teenager named Trayvon Martin and got away with it...Old boy can't seem to keep himself out of trouble and out of the news....He's been in six different incidents since he was acquitted of murdering 17 year old Trayvon Martin...

Yesterday he got shot!

Yeah that's right...but relax...He's alright!

George Zimmerman, the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2012, suffered facial injuries yesterday after a shooting at a busy intersection in Lake Mary.
Police identified the other person in the shooting as a man Zimmerman had an altercation with in September, police said.

George Zimmerman was released from a hospital in Sanford today with some kind of facial wound, possibly from flying glass or some other type of debris.

"I don't believe he had a direct hit with a bullet," said Don West, Zimmerman's attorney.
News footage showed what appeared to be a bullet hole in the passenger-side window of Zimmerman's Honda Ridgeline SUV.


News footage showed what appeared to be a bullet hole in the passenger-side window of Zimmerman's Honda Ridgeline SUV.

It was towed from the scene by a wrecker.

The shooting took place at the entrance to Trailhead Park near Lake Mary Boulevard and Rinehart Road at about 1 p.m. yesterday..

George Paschek, a resident in a neighborhood behind the shooting scene, said he was working on his lawn when he heard what sounded like two gunshots.

"I heard it and I said, 'Boy, that sounds like gunshots,'" Paschek said.

He added that he went back to his yard work, thinking he had mistaken the noise.
"When the helicopters flew over I started looking at the news," he added, before describing his reaction at hearing who was involved: "Zimmerman! Holy smokes!"

 Lake Mary Chief Steve Bracknell said Zimmerman did not shoot, but a man shot at him.


An investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed.
Police initially thought the shooting was a road-rage incident, but Bracknell said that might not be true.
Bracknell said the other man in the shooting is cooperating with police.

Zimmerman was involved in a road-rage incident on Lake Mary Boulevard with Matthew Apperson of Winter Springs in September.

In that case, Zimmerman allegedly threatened to shoot Apperson after he pulled his Honda Ridgeline truck next to the man's vehicle.

"George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my [expletive] and to shoot me," the man told a 911 dispatcher.

At the time, according to Bracknell, the man did not want to press charges.

So Zimmerman was not arrested.

George Zimmerman was accused of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford.

A Seminole County jury acquitted him in July 2013.

Then the U.S. Department of Justice investigated.

But it said in February that George Zimmerman will not face federal civil-rights charges, citing a lack of evidence.

Since his trial, Zimmerman had several encounters with the police.

Twice he's been arrested, accused by girlfriends of getting violent during breakups, and in 2013, his estranged wife accused him of threatening her and her father with a gun while they were moving out her belongings.

He was arrested Jan. 9, accused by Lake Mary police of aggravated assault, but prosecutors backed away from filing criminal in the domestic-violence case because a woman, initially upset and angry, changed her story.

Yes...He's been very lucky so far....He was lucky again yesterday....but if he's not careful...one day...his luck will run out!

A Possible Split?

This could be just a disagreement...No two people however close are going to always agree on everything....

I'm hoping the latest story coming out of Washington is just that, a disagreement of terms on one issue and not a personal and political split amongst two progressive icons that I admire...

I'm talking about President Obama and Senator Elizabeth Warren....

If you read the Washington Post....It is saying that President Obama went after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for her increasingly pointed critiques of a proposed trade deal he supports.

“She’s absolutely wrong,” President Obama told Yahoo News in an interview published Saturday.

These comments come after Senator Warren said the deal might eventually undo Wall Street reform, one of President Obama’s signature achievements and a major issue for Warren and her supporters.
The White House responded that the Trans-Pacific Partnership would specifically prevent that unless Congress overrode the provision with a vote.


President Obama, in (for  him) an unusually frank critique, suggested Senator Warren was seeking to bolster her political brand by going after the deal and that she was going too far in floating “hypotheticals.” 

The truth of the matter is that Elizabeth is, you know, a politician like everybody else. And you know, she’s got a voice that she wants to get out there. And I understand that,” The President said, according to Yahoo.

“On most issues, she and I deeply agree. On this one, though, her arguments don’t stand the test of fact and scrutiny.”

He said he would have to be “pretty stupid” to support a trade deal that could undo financial reform.
“Think about the logic of that, right?” he said. “The notion that I had this massive fight with Wall Street to make sure that we don’t repeat what happened in 2007, 2008. And then I sign a provision that would unravel it? … This is pure speculation [by Warren]. She and I both taught law school, and you know, one of the things you do as a law professor is you spin out hypotheticals. And this is all hypothetical, speculative.”

The comments are sure to ratchet up the fight over the deal, which has support from top Republicans but is opposed by many Democrats and conservatives.

Elizabeth Warren, a liberal icon whom many on the left want to challenge Hillary Clinton in 2016, is an increasingly vocal critic.

I don't want to see any split on the left.....The Republicans have about six or seven people running for President next year....That's split enough for me...Now more than ever , the Left has to be united and have one message to give to the American people...

But,who am I kidding???  This is America, right??

I'll Always Love my Mama

I always get a little emotional around this day....You see,it's only been seven years since my mother departed this life...2008....This blog was only a few months old...Escapades was on the drawing board and hadn't been launched yet....I had no Facebook or Twitter page yet...(didn't even know what they were...) and Good Foodie wasn't even a thought in my mind..

Barack Obama was just starting to make headway in the primaries...The thought of a Black President was still too grand a concept for anybody to put their head around in May 2008 when she left here..She did think that he might have a chance....

Tame times huh?  I still marvel at how different the world was then.....

On this day, I suprisingly still think of the end of her life and not the entire life that she lived...That's wrong I know...but I'm still working things out...So many things happened and I had to do so much ,being the oldest son....I never really got the chance to grieve properly and take it all in...

Still working on that......I'll let you know how it turns out...

On a brighter note...For those who have mothers that are living...Honor them....Not just on this day, but everyday they are living and breathing!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

A couple was having some trouble, so they did the right thing and went to a marriage counselor. After a few visits, and a lot of questioning and listening, the counselor said that he had discovered the main problem. He stood up, went over to the woman, asked her to stand, and gave her a hug. He looked at the man and said, "This is what your wife needs, at least once a day!"

The man frowned, thought for a moment, then said, "OK, what time do you want me to bring her here tomorrow?"

Weekend Humor

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a beautiful young woman who was waiting for a bus was wearing a tight mini skirt.

As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still couldn't. 

So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time attempted the step, and, once again, much to her dismay, she could not raise her leg. 


With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind a third time to unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step. 


About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus. 


She went ballistic and turned to the would be Samaritan and yelled, "How dare you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!" 

 
The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends!"


Everybody have a super groovy weekend!
