DRAW THAT WATER AND RELAX DOLLS

Good Day Guys and Dolls:

Hope you all are having a great morning so far and I wish the same for you the rest of the day and night. We have one holiday to celebrate today and that is “Read in the Bathtub Day”. So if you are not working or for those lovely Dolls of mine at home, fill up the tub with nice warm water, some bubble bath, soak and read your favorite book.

I thought we should check out some more dumb laws, this time in my home state of Jersey, so here we go:

It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing a murder.
You cannot pump your own gas – still in effect today.
It is against the law for a man to knit during fishing season.
You may not slurp your soup.
It is illegal to delay or detain a homing pigeon.
No street side trees may be planted that “obscure the air.”
Handcuffs may not be sold to minors.
All cats must wear 3 bells to warn birds of their whereabouts.
No one may annoy someone of the opposite sex.
It is illegal to offer whiskey or cigarettes to animals at the local zoo.
It is illegal to sell ice cream after 6p.m., unless the customer has a note from his doctor.
You may not throw a bad pickle in the street.
And finally, “It is illegal to get drunk and annoy others in your house.”

Okay Jersey people and those planning to visit, obey those laws. Have a great day Speakies.

IT'S MONDAY AND WE HAVE DUMB LAWS

Hello Speakies:

Here’s hoping you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the Super Bowl and not suffering from any hangovers. Each state has some dumb laws written on the books, so I thought maybe this week or over the next few weeks we can take a look on some of those laws still in existence. Why not start with the state of Florida. Now these are for real and I’m not going to embarrass the cities involved.

It is illegal to molest a Key Deer. – Who would want to?

Persons may not be “inappropriately attired” who work at hot dog stands. – Most of the bikini girls are gone.

It is against the city ordinance to hang your clothes outside on a clothesline. – What village idiot wrote that one?

The molestation of trash cans is banned. – Didn’t know they had feelings.

Torpedoes may not be set off in the city- I guess submarines aren’t allowed on the road either.

Skateboarding is not allowed at any police station. – OK.

It is illegal to drive over graves in a cemetery. Oh the humanity.

Well Speakies there you go with some strange laws to obey when you visit the Sunshine State. Have no fear other states your dumb laws will be listed on JoeyZ’s site soon. Have a great day and stay clear of the law.

SUPER BOWL WEEKEND WISHES

Happy Friday Speakies:

A big weekend coming up for all you football fans, it’s “SUPER BOWL WEEKEND”, coming directly at you from Miami, Florida. The forecast for Sunday is plenty of sunshine, high around 62 degrees and lows in the 40’s at night. Might be a little chilly at kick-off time. So get to the stores on Saturday and stock up on all those goodies. It’s not only Super Bowl Weekend, we have other holidays to observe and here they are:

Today:
Weatherman’s Day – In honor of those always accurate guys.
Wear Red Day
World Nutella Day – That great peanut butter substitute.
Bubble Gum Day – Remember Bazooka Joe.

Saturday:
Dump Your Significant Jerk Day – I’d like to drop a lot of jerks.

Sunday:
Of course Super Bowl Sunday
Ballet Day - If you must catch the matinee showing.
Daytona Pole Day – For all you race fans coming to Daytona Beach.
Man Day – Named after me of course.
Wave All Your Fingers at Your Neighbor Day – And if you don’t like them too much wave one finger.

So Speakies raise your glasses tall to all these holidays big or small. Have a great weekend, remember to love one another and be careful out there.

SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY

SPEAKIES: NEWS FLASH FROM FLORIDA.

A group of Fish and Wildlife Commission officers were arrested on charges of stealing over $300,000 from the state. This money was being used to purchase a home and furniture in Sin City, that's Las Vegas Baby. More arrests are to follow. Another smelly situation at the Florida government level.

How could they do this take away money from the little fishes and blow it in Vegas? I'm glad they were caught hook, line and sinker.

QUACKER DAY HAIL OUR FURRY FRIENDS

Good Day Speakies:

Stopping by to wish you all a Happy Thursday and hoping you all will have a great day. I’d like to say Welcome to a new Speakie from Romania. My international list of visitors is growing. Today we celebrate some holidays so let’s see what we have:

Liberace Day – Big holiday in Vegas.
Quacker Day – Let the quacks speak out and be heard.
USO Day – A great service organization.
World Cancer Day – My question has been for years “Is there a found cure or are the drug companies hiding the truth?”

I might be stopping back later, so behave.

IT'S A DAY TO HONOR FOUR BRAVE MEN

Good Morning Guys and Dolls:

I always try to keep humor in my blog on a daily basis, however today I would like to honor four brave men. Four brave men to who gave up their own lives to save others, “The Four Chaplains.” These men all held the rank of lieutenant and were Methodist Reverend George L. Fox, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode, Roman Catholic Priest John P. Washington and Reformed Church in America Reverend Clark V. Poling. They were sailing on the USAT Dorchester a troop transport on February 3, 1943 when the ship was torpedoed by a German U-Boat in the North Atlantic. As the ship was sinking, the four chaplains calmed the frightened soldiers and sailors, aided in the evacuation of the ship and helped guide the wounded to safety. They even gave up their own life jackets.

A survivor quoted, “As I swam away from the ship, I looked back. The bow came up high and she slid under. The last thing I saw, the Four Chaplains were up there praying for the safety of the men. They had done everything they could. I did not see them again.”

On December 19, 1944, all four chaplains were awarded the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross. Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes may these men rest in peace always. This story was on the History Channel awhile back if you ever see it listed watch it.

Have a great day Speakies.

THEY ARE HERE

Yes Speakies as I am writing this GIANT SQUIDS are invading the coast of California. Fishermen up and down the coast are requesting twilight fishing trips to nab the invaders. Rumors are that thousands of Italian women are also heading west to bring back those squids for their homemade Calamare. How I wish GIANT MUSSELS would invade the Florida coast so I can have decent Mussels Marinara with some hot Italian bread for dipping and a nice glass of wine to wash it all down.

I think I'm just going to close my eyes and dream a little dream.

WELCOME LITHUANIA

JUST WANTED TO STOP BY AND SAY WELCOME TO A NEW SPEAKIE FROM

LITHUANIA A NATION CLOSE TO POLAND. WELCOME AND PLEASE STOP BY OFTEN.
