BAD CARBON. BAD.

2:38 PM Posted by Linda Henson , , , ,
   We have all heard a lot about reducing the carbon footprint print. What they are really talking about is carbon dioxide.  Carbon dioxide is the stuff we exhale. The trees take it and make oxygen. Carbon is soot, coal, and diamonds. If you are leaving diamonds in your footsteps, pick them up. You are going to need the mon...

   Josh and Chuck went to the bar to have a couple of drinks. The place was crowded so it was hard to find a table. A big, buff, loudmouth took a dislike to Chuck. He questioned Chuck's courage and suggested he lack proper parents.  "Looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson," Josh said.  "Hold my beer," Chuck said. He walked over and slugged the big mouth and laid him out...

Go With The Wind

2:10 PM Posted by Linda Henson , , No comments
   The trouble with windmills is there isn't enough wind. In some places it doesn't always blow and in some places it doesn't blow at all. I came up with a solution. It's so simple, I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. Do what Hollywood does. Use wind machines. It's perfect. Don't question it. Just accept it. This is the answ...

   Chuck and Josh went to Chuck's house after school to play video games. They wanted some snacks and made a search for where Chuck's mom stashed her Oreos. They were tearing the house apart looking for the cookies when Chuck's mom walked in. "Mom, you really hid your cookies good. We can't find them."    "Neither can I," his mother said.  &nb...

School Speed Zone

2:16 PM Posted by Linda Henson No comments
   There are two types of school Speed Zones I know about. One is 20 miles per hour between the hours of 7 and 5. The other is, 20 miles per hour when children are present. I often wondered, what do they mean by children? Is that a child or short person? Is that child too old? Then I found out they meant when children are in the crosswalk.  Why couldn't they just say that? Why couldn't...
