Look Before You Drink. – IOTW Report

Look Before You Drink.

There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, troublemaking biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.

“Well, whatcha gonna do about it?” he says, menacingly, as I suddenly burst into tears.

“Oh, come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can’t stand to see a man crying.”

“This is the worst day of my life,” I say.

“I’m a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance.

I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife in bed with the gardener, and then my dog bit me.”

“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all. I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you, you jackass, show up and drink the whole thing!”

“But enough about me, how’s your day going?”

  1. Good one. I’ll cast my vote for the value of diversion. We just returned from a remote 4 day camping trip at 7,0000 feet M.S.L. and above somewhere near the U.S. Continental Divide. I am a trained observer. Believe me when I tell you I thought I was seeing UFO’s an hour after sunset Sunday and Monday nights. Moday night was the best: I saw about 50 lights in a perfect straight line moving across the sky. WTF over? Upon returning home a 20 minute internet search provided the answer: SpaceX satellite strings. When I was looking at those nighttime lights I was not thinking about Biden’s “Red Speech”, that’s for sure!

    It’s Hell to be an old geezer. This new technology is unbelievable. Elon Musk rocks!

  2. …let me take it in a different direction…

    …one day, a man cane to his pastor at his church.

    “Pastor”, he said. “For all the bad things in my life, you’ve been there.

    The day that I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me, you were there. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance, and you were there. When I left my wallet in the cab I took home, and then I found my wife in bed with the gardener, and my dog bit me, you were there. You’ve ALWAYS been there.”

    The man pauses for a moment, then saya, “Pastor, I can’t be a member of your church any more”.

    Perplexed, the pastor says, “After all that? Why?”

    …after which the man looks him in the eye and says, “Because, pastor, you’re bad luck”.
