There will be no Nativity Scene in the United State Congress, This year !
The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene
in the United States capital this Christmas season.This isn't for any religious reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the Nation's capitol.
(There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.)
Sudo, years ago I was Watching Johnny Carson do his Carnac routine. He made one joke about Billy Graham and was met with the deadest silence I ever heard on TV or radio, and there was no cutoff of sound. You dont feel you are getting the same response, do you?
You could be right. How 'bout helping me out here? I'm bombing and getting cold sweats hearing the Ka-chings! from the drummer. Now here's something different.. whatcha' think??
We work hard for that extra face time. How many sharks do you see trolling up and down the coast scaring swimmers and eating surfers just hoping someone has a camera phone?
Do you have any idea how long the lines were for the Jaws audition. Uncle Al got the part simply because he literally chewed up the competition. And it's a good thing too...can you even imagine a hammerhead in the part? Plaheeez!!!
Lookie! We got our tree up! Of course, I had to start working on it since last week but I'm glad to say I was able to do what it was I had to do.... and drain those bottles I did!!
SUDO!............everything you posted here cracked me up!!!..........definitely no silence at this end!...........DUDE......er, 'skuse me,.........DUDO...........next time i'm in memphis i have GOT to visit your personal posting library!!!!.............thanks for the holiday cheer!..................peace.

I had heard that was the reason they discontinued the nativity scenes at Ole Miss and Texas A&M as well!!!
Glad to see everybody's getting into the Christmas mood. This next one was sent to me by Oakspear so you can't blame ME for it.. oh no.. he made me post it!!
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas
pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about
to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows
where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the
toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. So, frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door,
yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas
tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a
lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to
stick it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
I've sent the memos to the planning committee here at work
No worries, Sudo. I've been chuckling (albeit ruefully) at the memo. I am on the planning committee for our party at work, and while we've made some concessions ("holiday" party instead of "Christmas"), we've asked everyone to bring in something, in addition to our having some food and sodas brought in. That way, if anyone has any dietary restrictions, they can bring in their own food - hopefully enough so everyone can share.
If you needed help with the tree, I would have been very willing to help.
I used to be known in the service (32 to 33 years ago) for putting away my share. Course you did have all the fun on getting to put the star on the last on on the top. AND BOY, not even knocking any off and all nice and neet too.

Sounds a little like Bing but doesn't look like him!
Sharks live in a racist world dont they? The Great White gets most of the publicity!
I just hope I didnt offend some Great White by that remark. I'll stay out of the ocean for a while.

What a selfless act! Doing what you have to do, now that's true sacrifice.

I think if Santa saw that tree... you probably won't get any presents unless you leave him a cold one.
I loved the first post - the little song thing was really cute too hehe. :3

I was laughing, Sudo. You couldn't hear me all the way up there?
Seriously.... if we stay quiet you keep posting goodies like that song.
Now, that tree is MY kind of Christmas tree! I've got the perfect gift to put under it, but you'll have to talk to Santa to get it.
