Apparently Willey DOESN'T get it and that is probably a good thing!

On the other hand what makes this really funny is that my son just moved out and we're about to clean his old room...I wonder what we might find? :lol:
 
TSA Before Christmas
(With apologies to Clement C. Moore)

Twas the night before Christmas, ‘tween New York and O’Hare
Not a creature was stirring, asleep in the air.
The luggage was checked at a Franklin per bag,
I thought we’d bring less, but “No!” (Nag, nag, nag!)

The children were nestled all snug in their seats,
We’d made it on time, through the snow-covered streets.
Again with her Coach bag, momma boarded that night,
I’d settled my mind for that long winter flight.

It’s come to all this, don’t know what could be sadder,
I’ll tell you what happened, just what was the matter.
Right to the problem, I’ll tell in a flash,
A Franciscan Nun being handled so rash!

The goon touched the parts of the crest-fallen Sister,
She just does God’s will on earth, right down here, mister!
When, what to my angering eyes should appear,
But Supervisor Goon, and eight agents here!

“When I was your age, son, these lines moved quite quickly,
But now “for our safety”, that Nun sure looked sickly.”
More slowly than turtles, the agents they came,
And I shook my ol’ head… this $#!+’s just insane!

No liquids, no toothpaste, no shoes, you can’t don ‘em!
And certainly no t-shirts with cartoon guns on ‘em!
Your hands up on top! With your back to the wall!
No modesty left now, they must see it all!

The things you must show before you can fly,
Do not be an obstacle to mount to the sky!
So up on House panels, the appointed ones sit,
To explain how Amendments will no longer fit!

So there, in a twinkling, the 4th one went POOF
Because you can’t fly, if you don’t give them proof…
That you’re not a threat, and you’re going to give in,
T’was my turn next, if I’d just let him in.

I was dressed and prepared, from my head to my foot,
To be scanned, grabbed and probed and to show them my loot.
A laptop, an iPhone, a pair of brown slacks,
He looked like a beggar, just opening my packs.

His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples how scary!
His cheeks were like roses (prolly from all that sherry).
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a sneer,
Knowing I’d go nowhere, till I pleased him here.

The stump of a brain kept him focused on me,
And he looked up and asked, “Where you going to be?”
T’was not his concern, and such is my lot,
And I said as a man, “That’s your business…NOT!”

He was flabby and plump, a right nasty old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A dart of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had something to dread.

He spoke not a word, but stood up, oh quite near,
And said something loudly, so ev’ryone could hear.
Then laying his finger aside of his snout,
He turned to the back and yelled, “Got an Opt Out!”

He sprang to his spot, to his team gave a whistle,
And oh boy they came like the point of a missile.
But they heard me exclaim, and who would have thunk?
"Happy Christmas to all, and do not touch my junk!"
 
Absolutely Epic 1974 Letter From Cleveland Browns to a Fan

This isn't a joke but a true story.

In November of 1974, a Browns fan and season ticket holder sent a letter to the team regarding a concern of his.

The Cleveland Browns (specifically, their general counsel) sent back an absolutely epic response.

Here are their two letters

And here's the Browns response:

Thing is, he probably has ultimately gotten his way since blue collar (and consequently paper airplane throwing) sub-class types can't afford tickets to pro sports games anymore anyway. I'm sure he's safe in his skybox by now.
 
Craigslist Ad

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.


Here is a response from the ad:


I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a cr@ppy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump."

I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
 
In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern
University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant
standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe
approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large
piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his
hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its
face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually
the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his
teenaged son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its front foot off the
ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted
loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this
was the same elephant.

Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way
into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe s legs
and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant!
