A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stopped.

The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to commit suicide,” she says.

While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn’t want to miss an opportunity so he asked… “Well, before you jump, why don’t you give me a kiss?”

So she does… And it was a long, deep lingering kiss.

After she’s finished, the biker says, “Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had. That’s a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?”

“My parents don’t like me dressing up like a girl……”

2011 was an interesting year as I watch my kids get older and the new dog grow pretty quick I am continuously reminded of my own mortality.  I turned 30 this year which very quickly reminds you that you “ain’t no spring chicken” any more.  That being said I hit my target weight this year and as I write this now I am at 197.  I started this year > 250 so I feel like that even though I have gotten a lot older I am in better shape now than I have been for as long as I can remember.

Most of my endeavors this year have been related to making my body better by gaining endurance or something that effect.  And next year I want to do more of the same but also focus on the introspective things like stress and inter personal relationships.

So I have been giving a great deal of thought to my resolutions for this year and they go as follows:

1. To begin to understand/change my diet to reflect my activity level.

1.a. To run a sub 21 Minute 5k :-)
1.b. To run a 1/2 Marathon

2. To be more introspective

2.a. To be a kinder and more forgiving person
2.b. To be less worried about what other are/aren’t doing and more focused on what I am/aren’t doing
2.c. To focus on spreading knowledge around

3.  To be more active in my web presence

3.a. To take a picture of myself every day for all 365 days
3.b. To post something technical to my blog at least 1 time per week
3.c. To build a site that represents my experience and portfolio and separate the jokes off from the technical stuff

4. To save more money and eliminate more debt

Here are the winners:

4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

11. Karmageddon: It’s like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s like, a serious bummer.

From a co-worker


A drunk woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxi in New York City. The taxi driver, who happened to be an old Jewish man, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman. He made no attempt to start the cab.

She said to him, “What’s wrong with you honey? Haven’t you ever seen a naked woman before?”

The old man said “Lady, I’m not staring at you, I am telling you, det vould not be proper vair I come from”.

She said, “Well, if you’re not staring at my breasts sweetie, what are you doing then?”

He said, “Vell, I am looking and I’m looking, and I am tinking to myself, vair in da hell is dis lady keeping de money to pay for dis ride.”

As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.

… Well, I have done something about it: a couple of nights ago I was out for a few drinks with some pals and had a few too many adult beverages. Realizing full well that I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I’ve never done before – I took a bus home.

I arrived home safely and without incident which was a real surprise, since I had never driven a bus before and am not even sure where I got this one.
