Three very mischievous old ladies are sitting on a park bench
when they see an old man walk by. "Say, fella," the first lady says.
"I bet we can guess your age."
The man pauses and looks at them skeptically. "Guess my age? that's impossible."
"C'mon, we'll show you," the second lady says.
"First, we'll need to look up your nose."
Embarrassed by the notion but wondering if the ladies truly knew something,
the old man walks over and lifts his head, enabling them to look right up his nose.
"Okay, now stick one finger up your nose, one finger in your ear, cross your eyes
and sing Danny Boy in a loud voice." the third lady says.
The man then does so; the ladies muse for a few moments, before saying, "You are 87 years old."
"Why, that's incredible," the man gasps. "That's absolutely right!
Tell me, how were you able to tell?"
He had silently wondered how all of these seemingly random methods had enabled the ladies to find out his age.
The ladies reply, "We were at your birthday party."
A couple had been married for 45 years
and had raised a brood of 11 children and were blessed with 22 grandchildren.
When asked the secret for staying together all that time,
the wife replies, "Many years ago we made a promise to each other...
the first one to pack up and leave has to take all the kids!"
I come from a large family, five sisters and three brothers.
My sisters and I were looking through the family photo album one day.
Picture after picture, we were all dressed in matching clothes.
I asked my mother why she dressed us all alike, right down to the baby.
She explained, "When we had just four children,
I dressed you alike so we wouldn't lose any of you.
Then," she added, looking at the pictures in the album,
"When the other four came along,
I started dressing you alike so we won't pick up any that don't belong to us."
Forty-eight years ago today, May 20, 1975, the final episode of Adam-12 aired. The show initially ran from September 21, 1968, through May 20, 1975, and helped introduce police procedures and jargon to the general public in the United States.
Adam-12 featured the year-old LAPD Rampart Division station at 2710 West Temple Street as the setting for the series. However, according to the radio call sign of the unit "1-Adam-12", the patrol area was within the Central Division (Division One), which serves Downtown Los Angeles, rather than Rampart (Division Two).
Many filming locations were in the San Fernando Valley, and the garage used tow trucks from the North Hollywood Division, close to Universal Studios, which co-produced the show with Mark VII Limited. The Temple Street building was closed in 2008, as a newer and larger station now houses the Rampart Division; the old building is being renovated to serve as headquarters for LAPD's Metro Division, an elite reserve unit that includes counterterrorism and SWAT platoons.
Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency! Take place in the same universe and depict different aspects of the public safety infrastructure of Los Angeles, California. Each series has several "crossover" episodes with characters from other Mark VII shows.
Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed appear on the Dragnet episode "Internal Affairs: DR-20", The D.A. episode "The People vs. Saydo" (the conclusion to a crossover that begins on "The Radical"), and the Emergency! Pilot movie, "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act." Sergeant MacDonald appears on the Dragnet episode "Personnel: The Shooting." The episode "Lost And Found" was set at Rampart General Hospital and featured the Emergency! Cast. However, during an Emergency! Episode Adam-12 is shown as a TV show that the paramedics like to watch, causing a paradox between the shows.
Several years after Adam-12 was canceled, Kent McCord was signed to appear in a planned third series of Dragnet, playing Sgt. Friday's partner, but the project was canceled due to Jack Webb's sudden death in 1982; since none of the scripts Webb wrote for the project were ever produced or released, it is not clear if he intended McCord to play a different character or to revive the Jim Reed character.

OK. Start by explaining the EV bashing. Thanks.
EV's are not ready for prime time. They have a long way to go both literally and figuratively.
A link to the joke would help. Whoever posted it may wany to chime in.

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.
While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!"

Who considers jokes bashing? Jokes are just that, Jokes! People need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously. Life is way to short. Don't sweat the small sh**. Laugh a little you might enjoy it.
A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked, “Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?”
The father replied, “It is mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”
With that the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello, is Melvin there?”
The man answered, “There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don't you learn to look up numbers before you dial”.
“See,” said the father to his daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch….”
The father dialed the number again. “Hello, is Melvin there?” asked the father.
“Now look here!” came the heated reply. “You just called this number and I told you that there is no Melvin here! You've got lot of guts calling again!” The receiver slammed down hard.
The father turned to his daughter and said, “You see, that was anger. Now I'll show you what exasperation means.”
He dialed the same number, and when a violent voice roared, “Hello!”
The father calmly said, “Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?”

When he saw how astronomically high his latest phone bill was,
the head of house called a family meeting.
“This is unacceptable,” said the father. ”You have to limit the use of the phone.
I never use this phone. I always use the one in the office.”
The mother said, ”Same here. I hardly use the home phone, because I use my work phone.”
The son said, ”Me, too. I never use the home phone. I always use the company's mobile."
”So what is the problem?” asked the maid. ”We all use our work telephones.”

As we plummeted down he said, "So how long have you been an instructor?"
