Oddities and Humor

Always weird to think 'the monster' went on to become Ray Romano's dad.

I always remember him for killing Robert Mitchum.

And confusing Robert DeNiro

And getting punched out by Sean Connery.

A young man named chuck bought a horse off a farmer for $250.The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.The next day, the farmer drove up to Chucks house and said, "sorry son, but I have some bad news; the horse died."

Chuck replied "Well, then just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "cant do that. I went and spent it already."

Chuck said "Ok then, just bring me the dead horse."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?

Chuck said, "Im going to raffle him off."

The farmer said , "you cant raffle off a dead horse!"

Chuck said, "sure I can, Watch me. I just wont tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"

Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at five dollars a piece and made a profit of $2495."

The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"

Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his five dollars back."

Chuck grew up and now works for the Australian government.

Something very similar happened to me when taking classes at evenings in a public sponsored school.

One day, the teacher came with boxes of chocolates and told us to sell the candy to obtain funds for the school.

Most of us were young guys and gals with no intentions of asking family or friends to buy chocolates.

From my part, I decided to pull some money from my pocket and buy by myself $80.00 of those chocolates. I invented names and addresses and returned the few candies left with the money. I gave the candies away later on.

The same night, my name was mentioned by the principal throughout the school speakers. I was the student who sold the most candies, and my reward was $200.00 cash.

Party!

I bought pizza for the entire class, and we had a delicious dinner in the classroom that night.

Woody Harrelson said he had to take a marijuana break during dinner with the president, just to make it to the end. What the news story failed to mention, he probably has one of those every twenty minutes, all day long, every day.

'Deed they did.

Boil water in advance, then freeze it for later.

What exactly is this process for?

Where I come from, we call it - ICE !

When you need to use boiling water, it's all ready for you.

I'll take that into consideration as a time saving idea when preparing food that needs boiling.
