Troy Davis Put To Death On World Peace Day

Whether you believe he was guilty or not is not the issue any more. Troy Davis is gone. He was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. ET on World Peace Day. The real issue now is, is it even remotely possible that an innocent person was killed by a judicial system that is far from perfect? Witness testimony, which it appears the conviction was mainly based upon, has been proven to be unreliable on one too many occasions. Remember, or have you heard, the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter?

Never Argue with a Woman (Joke)

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.

'That's true, but you have all the equipment... For all I know you could start at any moment.'

'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Are You Dating A Loser?

Ladies, How To Tell You're Dating A Loser

The term "loser" is often misused. Like, one time I happened to be watching one of the reality dating shows on TV and this pretty-looking but apparently brainless girl says she considers a man who lives with a roommate a loser. I felt insulted. I have lived with roommates most of my (younger) adult life, not because I couldn't afford the full rent but because I like to save. But anyway, there are some real losers out there. Many a girl has at one time or other dated one of these, and it is not pretty. It is the definition of agony.

Joke: Husband and Wife Miscommunication Freaks Out Widow

I couldn't help sharing yet another one from an internet friend. A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!

A  Minneapolis   couple decided to go to  Florida   to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.  They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.  So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel.  There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.  However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral.  He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends.  After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. More on Joke: Husband and Wife Miscommunication Freaks Out Widow
