A Conversation Between a Priest and a Rabbi.

Submitted by BT from MTL. Yes, I am going to hell.
-------------------------

A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.

After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, 'Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?'

The rabbi responded, 'Yes, that is still one of our laws.'

The priest then asked, 'Have you ever eaten pork?'

To which the rabbi replied, 'Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.'

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, 'Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?'

The priest replied, 'Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.'

The rabbi then asked him, 'Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?'

The priest replied, 'Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my Faith.'

The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five Minutes.

Finally, the rabbi said, 'Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?

Today's Funny

I know, it's been a while but it's been some trying times. Anyhow, here is a joke from BT from MTL. Enjoy.

--------------------------------------

A woman and her boyfriend are out having a few drinks. While they’re Sitting there having a good time together, she starts talking about this Really great new drink.
The more she talks about it, the more excited she gets, and starts trying to talk her boyfriend into having one.
After a while he gives in and lets her order the drink for him. The
Bartender brings the drink and puts the following items on the bar:

1. A salt shaker,
2. A shot of Baileys,
3. A shot of lime juice.

The boyfriend looks at the items quizzically and the woman explains.

First you put a bit of the salt on your tongue.
Next you drink the shot of Baileys and hold it in your mouth.
And finally you drink the lime juice.'
So, the boyfriend, trying to go along and please her, goes for it.

He puts the salt on his tongue........salty but OK.

He drinks the shot of Baileys and holds it in his mouth..........smooth, Rich, cool, very pleasant. He thinks........this is OK.

Finally he picks up the lime juice and drinks it.

1. In one second the sharp lime taste hits

2. At two seconds the Baileys curdles

3. At three seconds the salty, curdled taste & mucous-like Consistency hits

4. At four seconds it feels as if he has a mouth full of nasty snot

This triggers his gag reflex, but being manly, and not wanting to disappoint his girlfriend, he swallows the now foul tasting drink.

When he finally chokes it down he turns to his girlfriend, and says, Jesus what do you call that drink?'

She smiles widely at him and says, 'Blow Job Revenge.'

Husband Banned from Target

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from our local Target.

Dear Mrs. Samsel,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samsel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he would invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

This may yet JUST begin to address my space issues. :-)

Definitely less expensive than a full-fledged setup the likes of Dell or EMC but still not "cheap" for the home enthusiast as myself.  Seriously though, I have either serious issues or truly rose to a new level if I need to start setting up things like this.  That said, would be damn fun trying it out.

Brush up on your High Holidays!

As well as many other things.

I may not be Jewish but being married to a person that is means to at least have some understanding and participation in the things and times that are important to her.  Truth be told, there are times I am the better Jew, lol.  Anyhow, it is important to my DW so that makes it important to me.  Important days are coming up in the Jewish Calendar including the New Year and Day of Atonement.  This site provides plain language explanations for all of it.

Enjoy.

When you just HAVE to have it!

Thanks to JN for posting this on FB.  I think the point I want to make is that this guy was playing a harmless game, in a harmless location, harmlessly.  He was stupid if he was talking to other players on the microphone in the middle of the library.  Other than that though, would you rather him hassling you for money on a street corner or worse yet, robbing you or carjacking you?

Get a grip people.

Look who bought a clue!

They said "No".  Sony said that they would NOT lower the price on their gaming console to match Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 pricing.  They said they would NOT make adjustments to a system that was grossly overpriced when it debuted and stayed that way as the competitors kicked its ass up and down the gaming charts.  The built-in Blu-ray player made no difference to this status.  People continually chose the other two systems or a standalone system or even the older (much cheaper) PS2 systems over Sony's flagship unit.  This was pointed out to them many times over but they have stubbornly refused to budge.  Over principle or over something else?  Who knows?  Who really cares?

As a consumer, I chose the systems that gave me the best bang for the buck and and the best overall experience (you know what I mean, right?).  I would have bought an original 20Gb or 60GB model to get the backward-compatible Emotion engine so I could ditch our PS2 but I was not paying the ridiculous amount of money to get one when the system was released (and they are very hard to find used at a reasonable price, natch).  Sony lowered the price on their system but removed the Emotion engine; too little too late.

So will the PS3 Slim finally be the unit that puts Sony in the same playing field as the Wii and the 360?  I doubt it.  they are still being stupid about things by no lowering the price of the 80GB and 160GB units currently on sale as they clear them out of inventory.  That's both stubborn and stupid.  Their reasoning?  People will buy the old ones out of nostalgia or because they prefer the shape.  Are you freaking kidding me?

I want a PS3 because I am a bonified geek but I do not NEED a PS3 so I, along with millions of others, can wait until Sony has a fire sale unless they get real with their pricing. Very soon.

Why I will probably be buying a Bold (since work is taking back their BB).

What's good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander.

Microsoft defends its intellectually properties with a bevy of lawyers; by rights it should.  That has led to either acquisitions by Microsoft of an offending company or partnerships (i.e. Novell) with companies that infringed on those rights.

Well, now they are trying to brush off a lawsuit AGAINST them for the exact same practice.  They can appeal all they want but someone over there better start selling some stocks to pay for the bill of $294 million and counting.

The Scene Kano- I'm Ready

Looked this up because we were discussing what song TagTeam's "Whoomp, There It Is" samples for its backbeat. Amazing what hair, clothes and dancing endure today. Also amazing what things, thankfully, did not survive. Holy crap.

An RCMP officer stops at a ranch up in Iron Mountain, B.C. and talks with the old ranch owner. He tells the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for illegal grown drugs.'

The old rancher says, 'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.'

The RCMP officer verbally explodes saying, 'Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.' Reaching into his rear pant pocket and removing his badge, the officer proudly displays it to the farmer.

'See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish....on any land. No questions asked. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?'

The old rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.

Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies the RCMP officer running for his life and close behind is the rancher's bull.

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer.

The officer is clearly terrified.

The old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs....'Your badge! Show him your fucking badge!"
