Observations from Afar

Tuesday is Joke Day

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and it immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip.

She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly ignorant of its slipping rider.

Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot becomes entangled in the stirrup, and she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over.

She starts to lose consciousness, but to her great fortune, Bobby, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her and unplugs the horse.



Yesterday, scientists from the Centers for Disease Control suggested that men should curb their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. The concern was that consuming large amounts of beer would turn men into women.

To test the theory, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.



A pirate walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender looks down and says, "You know that you have a steering wheel in your pants."

The pirate replies "Ay, it's drivin' me nuts."

  • Aaron,

    I did blog that joke, but with the following disclaimer: "Any complaints, offenses, or lawsuits should be directed to Mr. Hernandez. I am just an innocent messenger, reporting news from the outside world without couching my editorial opinions within the text."

    So... watch your back!
