The Old Man Who Was Speeding On a County Hwy








A County Deputy pulled over an elderly gentleman for speeding. The old guy was doing almost 20 miles over the legal speed limit. The Deputy asked to see the elderly driver's license then went back to his squad car to run a check on the license.  Incredibly this old man who had been driving for nearly 47 years never once been given a traffic citation.

Upon returning to the old man’s vehicle the Deputy said "I don’t want to spoil your driving record Sir so if you can give me any possible excuse why it was necessary for you to be driving 20 miles over the speed limit I will let you go with a warning".

Without batting an eye the old man looked at the Deputy and said "25 years ago my wife ran off with a Deputy from this County and when I saw you driving behind me I thought you were him trying to bring her back".

After laughing hysterically the officer replied. “Slow down old timer and have a nice day”.

Hot Things Hot - Cold Things Cold

A township officer from an extremely rural area drove 75 miles to the 'big city' to do some shopping at a brand new Wal-Mart that had just opened the week before.   The Wal-Mart was the largest store the township officer had ever seen.










Why walking up and down the many aisles he noticed a long cylindrical shiny object behind one counters where a clerk was working.  He walked over to the employee behind the counter and asked "Miss What's that shiny object behind you on that ledge." Oh this, she replied, "That's my thermos."

"A thermos"? replied the township officer "What does it do?" The employee replied, "It keeps my hot things hot and my cold things cold."

Boy o boy, the township officer thought; that was just about the most incredible thing he had ever heard of. What a wonderful device. The employee said we sell them here at the store they are down in aisle 5. The township officer immediately went down to aisle 5 picked it up and bought it.

The following week the township officer brought his new thermos with him to the township meeting. When the other township officers saw that shiny object they asked him "What is that thing?"

"Why that's a thermos" said the proud township officer.  "What does a thermos do" asked one of the township officers?  "Well it keep my hot foods hot and cold foods cold".

"Really they all said - what do you have in it now" they all wanted to know. "Well, right now I have a Popsicle and my coffee in it."

Great Answer to a TV Reporters Questions - This is a great lesson for all government officials.

General 'Sir Peter John Cosgrove', AK, MC (born 28 July 1947) is a retired senior Australian Army officer and currently the 26th the Governor-General of Australia











He was made a Knight of the Order of Australia.  
General Cosgrove was recently interviewed on TV by Leigh Sales a reporter from the ABC.

If you are a local government official do yourself a favor and take a moment and read his reply to the reporter question when she asked him about guns and children. My thought is this is probably one of the best replies given to a reporter.

Below is the portion of the interview between ABC journalist Leigh Sales and General Cosgrove - who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.

LEIGH SALES  (The reporter):

So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GEN. COSGROVE:

We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

LEIGH SALES:

Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GEN. COSGROVE:

I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

LEIGH SALES:

Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GEN. COSGROVE:

I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

LEIGH SALES:

But aren't you equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:

Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?




The broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.

Neighbor Used The City Council Members Wife and Now Has Remorse.


A guy sends a text to his next-door neighbor who just happens to be a city council member. The text he sends reads:






"Bob, I'm sorry.  For the last six months I have been riddled with guilt and I want to confess to you. There is no easy way to say this but the truth is I have been helping myself to your wife when you were not at home.

When you would leave for city county meetings or go out to conduct city business and I saw you weren’t home I took those opportunities to hop on and use your wife.  Bob, I know there’s no excuse for my behavior but I stopped getting it at home and I wanted it bad. I can't live with this guilt any longer and hope you'll accept my sincerest apology. I promise it won't happen again."

Feeling outrage and betrayed, Bob went to the closet and grabbed his gun. He walked straight into the bedroom where his wife was reading a book and without a word shot her two times.

Moments later Bob, the city council member, received another text from his neighbor which read: Really should have used spell check Bob! That last text I sent should have read “I have been using your ‘wifi’ - not your wife”.

The City Council Member's Son and a Popsicle

The City Council meeting ended earlier than expected so when the City Council member got home, he asked his wife if she would like to have sex.






There was however, one problem.  Their young son was home so they decided to do what they had frequently done before.  They sent him out on the balcony of their apartment building with a popsicle and asked him to report on everything he saw outside. 

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot across the street," the boy shouted.

"Hey, an ambulance just drove by with its lights on!"

"Looks like the Anderson's have lots of company," he called out.

"Matt's riding a new bike!"

"Looks like the Sanders are moving; they are loading a big rental truck!"

"Jason is on his skate board and he is not wearing his helmet!"

After a few moments he announced...

"The Coopers are having sex!"

Startled, the City Council member and his wife shot up in bed.

The City Council member cautiously called out..."How do you know they're having sex?"

"They just sent Jimmy out on the balcony with a popsicle.”
