The white house press secretary walked into the Oval Office and greeted the president. You look happy the president said, why is that?? Well, Sir, I had a very good dream last night. What was it about asked POTUS. I was watching a big parade going down Pennsylvania Avenue and there were Big bands and people were smiling and waving flags. Was I there he asked. Yes, sir, you were. Was I happy?? I don't know Sir as it was a closed casket !!!!

You hear the phrase "suicide by cop". Same sort of idea.

Age

As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that at my age I don't really give a darn any more. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.

A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.

A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while

A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.

And you tell me to exercise ?? I don't think so.

Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.

3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it ?

7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.

8. Some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the lamp post.

9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

13. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.

14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.

15. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.

16. Its not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.

17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".

19. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

20. HAVE I POSTED THIS POST PREVIOUSLY. .........??????

"Contactless?", asked the girl in the supermarket when I offered a card in payment.

"Brainless!", said the Misses, clearly with decades of evidence to rely on.

Trump and Pelosi go fishing

The President and the head of the Democrat Party, Nancy Pelosi, are arguing extensively over allowing immigrants into our country. Nancy of course wants free access to everyone who wants to come in, while Donald wants us to secure our borders and insure only the right people come in.



Instead of going to a costly, time-consuming nationwide vote on the matter, they agree to a 3-day ice fishing contest to settle the issue whoever catches the most fish at the end of the 3 days will have his or her process implemented.



The two decide that a remote frozen lake in northern** Wisconsin** would be the ideal place. No observers on the fishing grounds,** but both would need to have their catches verified and counted each night at 5 PM so they use a neutral park ranger station.

*

After Day 1, Trump returns to the station with a total of 10 fish, while Pelosi comes back with nothing.



Day 2 finishes and Trump catches another 20 fish, but Pelosi once again comes back with nothing.

*

That night, Pelosi and her liberal cronies get together and accuse Trump of being a “low-life, cheating piece of scum.”** Instead of fishing on Day 3, they are going to follow Trump and to spy on him and figure out how he is cheating.

*

Day 3 finishes up and Trump has had an incredible day, adding 40 more to his total.



That night, Pelosi and her democratic cohorts get together for the full report on how Donald was cheating.



Pelosi stands up to give her report and says, “You are not going to believe this. Trump is cheating because he's cutting holes in the ice”

*
And this, my friends, tells you the difference between a businessman and a career government politician.


*

Two rich Americans decided to go ice fishing in Canada. They chartered a small plane on skis, and landed on a secluded Manitoba lake. They unloaded all their gear, the heated fishing hut, rods, reels, bait, power ice auger, etc. Once set up they cut the hole in the ice and commenced to fish. After half a day they hadn't caught a thing, but they noticed an old, obviously local chap about 200 yards away, sitting there in the open with a stick with a bit of string on for gear, and he was hauling in substantial fish one after the other.

After having spent all the money to get there, and not wanting to get "skunked" they decided to go over and ask the old man what his secret to catching fish was.

He replied "Yomb guta mmmb ya mmmmbss wmb"

They said "Sorry, sir, we didn't understand what you said"

The old man opened his mouth, emptied it into his hand and said "You've got to keep your worms warm!!"

Walking the Dog

"Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"

Mom replies, "No, because she is in heat."

"What's that mean?" asked the child.

"Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage."

The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block?

I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you."

Dad said, "Bring Belle over here." Being old school he took a rag, soaked it with a little gasoline, and dabbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said, "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time round the block."

The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash.

Surprised, Dad asked, "Where's Belle?"

(YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS!!!)

The little girl said, "She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home."
