    There's a new guy at work named Wayne Bruce, and I said "Ah, my old nemesis ManBat.

    Nobody got the reference. I'm wasted here. Not all capes wear heroes.

      So, and Englishman, an Italian and a Frenchman are arguing what the word "panache" means.

      The Englishman says, panache is when you walk into your bedroom and you find your wife in bed with another man, and you say, "Excuse me!"

      The Italian says, panache is when you walk into your bedroom and you find your wife in bed with another man, and you say, "Excuse me! Carry on!"

      The Frenchman says, panache is when you walk into your bedroom and you find your wife in bed with another man, and you say, "Excuse me! Carry on! And he does."

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."

                The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

                The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

                The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

                The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

                The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

                  Isn't it crazy how like ten years ago everybody was afraid of trans fats?

                  And now everybody is celebrating fat trans?

                    A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. "House," in French, is feminine - "la maison." "Pencil," in French, is masculine - "le crayon."

                    One puzzled student asked, "What gender is the computer?" The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups, appropriately enough by gender, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.

                    Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

                    The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because:

                    1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.

                    2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

                    3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval.

                    4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it.

                    The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), because:

                    1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

                    2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless.

                    3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE THE PROBLEM.

                    4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

                                Few people know that before he was famous, the late Johnny Cash tried a chip full of salsa served backstage in Possumneck, Mississippi that changed his life. It was spicy and tangy and smoky and so good that he just couldn't get it off of his mind. Unfortunately, there was no jar, no label.

                                Now, there have been rumors that Johnny had kind of an addictive personality. He would sometimes disappear for days on end. People attributed it to drugs or alcohol. The truth is that he would roam the country searching for the special hot sauce of his dreams. He heard rumors and whispers of the deadly condiment and followed them to countless dead ends. He stopped at every Tex Mex restaurant, truck stop, and Mexican grocery in the South without finding what he sought.
                                One day he heard tell of an old woman, a witch down in the Mayan peninsula in Mexico whom it was said, made the best salsa in the world! He cancelled his next five gigs and headed south. He rode donkeys, Jeeps and horse drawn wagons. He traversed deserts, mountains and jungles before finally reaching the fabled village where the old bruja lived.

                                He found and entered the old woman's hut. As luck would have it, she was one of his first big fans, having caught one of his shows at that Holiday Inn in Possumneck, Mississippi while attending a Salsa Aficionado convention where one of her jars of salsa mysteriously disappeared and somehow made its way to a bowl backstage. She consented to sharing her secret recipe with him only after he agreed to write a song for her.

                                She shared the special Tomatillos grown in Mayan soil. She gave him the seeds from a rare Mexican pepper and showed him the special pan with a rounded bottom, similar to those used in the Far East that she would use to simmer "la lima" or "lime," the source of the salsa's tanginess. He asked her if he could just use his regular flat-bottomed pan but she insisted that he must use the round-bottomed pan.

                                From this came the inspiration for the lyrics: "Because you're Mayan, I'll wok the lime!"

                                        Three old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside the nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by.
                                        One of the old Grandmas yelled out, 'Hey, we bet we can tell exactly how old you are!'
                                        The old man said, 'There is no way you can guess my age!’
                                        One of the Grandmas said, 'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and undershorts and we can tell your exact age.'
                                        Embarrassed, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers.
                                        The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and then jump up and down several times.
                                        Determined to prove them wrong, he did it.
                                        Then they all said in unison, 'You're 87-years-old!'
                                        Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess my age?'
                                        Slapping their knees, high-fiving and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily crowed.....
                                        'We were at your birthday party yesterday.'

                                          I had my patience tested today.

                                          It came back negative.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
