Sunday Funnies; Volume 173.
The Importance of walking
Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $5,000 per month.
My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
and we have no idea where the hell he is.
I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.
The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I'm doing...
I joined a health club last year,
spent about $1,000.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there!
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.
The advantage of exercising every day
is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'
If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
start with a small country.
I know I got a lot of exercise
the last few years,.......
just getting over the hill.
We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
AND
Every time I start thinking too much
about how I look,
I just find a pub with a Happy Hour
and by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

Pardon me a moment while I ram this up some malevolent, pseudo-Christian asses on Topix, St. Marys.

Las Vegas Churches accept gambling chips
THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN
LAS VEGAS , BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.
NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED.
SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS..
THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED IN.
THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT COMING DID YOU? --

"St. Marys Seafood and More;" a review.
Well, after the nearly 18 years I've been here - and I suspect for decades before - there is FINALLY a legitimate reason for the other 99% of us to venture east of Dandy Street.
It's Saturday, 6/18/11, at 8:24 PM. I just finished eating for the first time at St. Marys Seafood and More, located on Osborne in the building that formerly housed the consistently mediocre and filthy-kitchened Williams' St. Marys Seafood ands Steaks and was briefly operated as The Mill by a notoriously obnoxious Boston Yankee.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we finally have an excellent seafood restaurant run by people who are obviously experienced and competent restaurateurs! As a bonus, they are genuinely damned nice - and rather attractive - folks.
While I have no moral concerns with alcohol, for those of you who are uptight Christians worried about there being a bar, it is small and discreet and out of the way. There were two 60ish Cauco-American males sitting there having a couple of cocktails and subdued conversation. Very few customers at the tables were imbibing alcohol. It was a very family-safe and genteel atmosphere and ambiance. No rowdiness whatsoever.
There is a very extensive menu that should satisfy all appetites, including those poor souls who do not like seafood. Reasonably priced.
I had the seafood platter for one. Two deviled crabs, a nice piece of fish, oysters, shrimp, scallops (bay) and more fried clam strips than I could finish. Sides included a baked potato and cole slaw. I did not get any hush puppies but I think that was a kitchen oversight. And of course, iced tea. Total bill (exclusive of tip): $20.31.
The iced tea was just inside the lower range of my stringent strength requirements, but satisfactory. All of the seafood was well prepared and delicious. The deviled crabs were in natural crab shells with ample blue crab meat. Good tartar and cocktail sauces.
The slaw was not traditional Southern cole slaw insofar as it was not cut and dressed the way authentic Southern cole slaw is. Yanks who don't know better will be happy with it. As that kind of cole slaw goes, it was not bad. The owners might want to buy a pint of Aunt B's cole slaw to-go and study it.
I was very impressed with the attentiveness not only of my actual waiter but several roaming floor managers and a gentleman from the kitchen I took to perhaps be the owner. I was so impressed that for a moment I thought they had "made" me. As time passed, I observed that they were equally solicitous of all customers.
The restaurant appears to be run by a family of very competent and friendly Arab Americans, if my guess is right. I wonder if they are from Jax where there is a long history of great restaurants run by Arab Americans? At any rate, they and their restaurant are very welcome additions to the community.
They get my unqualified and very enthusiastic thumbs up! Check 'em out!

What a pity there was no legally armed passenger there to blow his savage ass away! But, hey, New Yorkers are "protected" from guns.

Sunday Funnies; Volume 171.
A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note: "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. 'Lead us not into temptation.'"

Any local attorneys care to comment upon the significance of these changes?
