Friday’s Last Laugh

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Four hockey fans were climbing a mountain one day. Each was a fan of a different team, and each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans of their hockey team. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all.

They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Canadiens fan hurled himself off the mountain, shouting, “This is for the Great Montreal Canadiens!” as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be out done, the Edmonton Oilers fan threw himself off the mountain shouting “This is for the Oilers!”

Seeing this, the Ottawa Senators fan walked over and shouted, “This is for everyone!” and pushed the Toronto Maple Leafs fan off the side of the mountain.

Happy Friday!

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Just like we said, it’s nasty outside!  School Buses are off the road, BUT the schools are open.  Really!  Someone at the school board is going to have to answer a lot of phone calls on that decision.  Take it easy on the roads today.  It will improve as the day goes on.

My drive in from the Valley was, well, the worst in the 8 years I’ve been doing the Morning Show on Q92.  Getting out of my driveway was the first adventure.  Then, it’s on the street which technically didn’t exist.  As I approached the highway, I put the pedal down and managed to get over the bank.  Highway 69 was nothing but a little cow-path all the way into the city.  Getting up the hill to Valley View road was a challenge, then the drive between McRae Heights and Track ‘n Wheels was horrible.  Infact, just past the Thayer Lindsley Mine entrance, I hit a patch of snow and veered off to the right and got stuck!  So, here I am, rocking my truck back and forth on Highway 69, just to get back on the cow-path.  Finally, I arrived at the station, and proceeded to get stuck in the parking lot (just like everyone else).  Total Drive Time: About 40 Minutes.  Normal Drive Time: 13 Minutes.  Here’s what the highway looked like as I was rockin’ may way out of a drift:

Sunday night, The `Donald“ is back with Celebrity Apprentice Two.  I was never a fan of the original series, but the celebrity thing is pretty cool.  12 celebrities will battle it out to win money for their charity. He`s actually lined up and great list of celebs: 

  • Deal or No Deal briefcase model Claudia Jordan
  • Singer Tionne Watkins,  T-Boz of TLC 
  • Canadian funny guy Tom Green
  • Khloe Kardashian.  Apparently it’s a new rule for reality shows. Not allowed to have one without a Kardashian!
  • Joan and Melissa Rivers
  • Former NFLer Herschel Walker
  • Former figure skater Scott Hamilton
  • Golfer Natalie Gulbis, who, by the way, is unbelievably HOT!
  • And Sandra Bullock’s husband and popular mechanic Jesse James

I`m going out a limb here and say that..Herschel Walker will be the winner. And here is a totally unnecessary picture of golfer Natalie Gulbis;

Thursday’s Last Laugh

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A plane was taking off from the Sudbury Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from Sudbury to Vancouver. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax… OH, MY GOD!’ Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap.  You should see the front of my pants!’ A passenger in Coach yelled, ‘That’s nothing.  You should see the back of mine!’

Dear Terry and Mell.  Just wondering if it’s appropriate to use a Gift Certficate to pay for dinner when you’re out on a date?   I got a GC for Christmas and used it pay for Valetine’s dinner witht he girl I’ve been seeing.  I thought it was O.K., but she kind of gave me a funny look and now won’t take my calls.  It’s not like I used a 2 for 1 coupon at a fast food place.  This was a nice place.  My friends seemed split on the issue.  Is it O.K to use a Gift Certificate to pay for sinner when you’re out on a date?

Have your say!  Vote NOW.

Warning!  The Internet bad guys are finding new ways to go after your bank accounts. They used to do the phishing thing where they’d e-mail you an official looking notice that appeared to come from your bank and ask you to log on and then they’d steal your password. Most everyone got wise to that and now they’ve come up with banking trojans. They find their way onto your computer when you click on a viral link to a greeting card or video that arrives in e-mail spam or by clicking on a Web page that’s been corrupted by hackers. Then the next time you log onto your bank website it steals your username and password. Not only can they drain your accounts, some can alter the web page to make your balances appear normal. The banking industry says that all in all online banking is safe, although you may want to check with your bank to see if they protect you if you get ripped off.

Tuesday’s Last Laugh

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

A lady walks into Tiffany’s. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it.

As she bends over to look more closely, she lets out a fart.

Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and prays that a sales person doesn’t pop up right now.

As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her.

Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a professional salesman in a store like Tiffany’s, and greets the lady with, ‘Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?’

Feeling uncomfortable, but still hoping that the salesman may not have been there at the time of her little ‘accident’, she asks, ‘Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?’

He answers, ‘Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you’re going to crap when I tell you the price!’

Monday’s Last Laugh

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

A guy walks into a bar with his dog and says: “I’ll have a Scotch and water and my dog would like a whisky sour.” The bartender says: “Sorry, we don’t allow animals in here.” The dog replies: “Hey, I’m tired of being discriminated against. Just give me a drink.” The bartender says: “Oh, no, not another ventriloquist with the old talking dog trick. Both of you, get out of here!” “No, no, no, this isn’t a trick, I promise you,” says the man. “I tell you what, I’ll go for a walk around the block and you talk to Rover here.” The man leaves and the bartender sees him turn the corner. “Now, can I have my drink?” says the dog. The bartender is amazed: “Sure you can and it’s on the house! Listen, can you do me a favor? My wife works next door at the cafe. It’ll make her day if you go in and order a cup of coffee. Here’s 10 bucks and you can keep the change afterward.” “OK,” says the dog and he takes the 10 dollars and leaves. Ten minutes go by and the dog doesn’t come back. The owner returns and asks where’s the dog. So, both of them go off to see what happened to the dog. As they approach the cafe, they see Rover going at it hot and heavy with a French poodle in the alley between the bar and cafe. The owner shouts: “Rover! What are you doing! You’ve never done this before!” The dog shrugged: “Hell, I’ve never had any money before.”
