I remember as a kid, dad giving me 50¢, going to the local market, getting a candy bar for me, a pack of smokes for the old man, 10¢ in change and no questions asked.

And if you remember going down the street for your dad, (I do) Cigarettes out of the machines were only .23 and the two cents change for a quarter was inside the package of smokes. AND some of those pennies in the cigarette packages on the East coast were the original 1955 double dies!

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN:"Hi Honey,it's me. Are you at the club?
MAN:Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$90,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.
He turns and asks, "Anyone know who's phone this is?"

An old dear friend use to drive stock cars there and he told many a story. Did take my wife, to be, there to...watch the movies. Strange I can't remember any of the titles. lol We have been married now going on 46 years.

Domestic disputes

For the last two weeks my wife has received at least one package
every single day. So today something came for me and she
asked, in a judgmental tone, "What did you order?"
If you have to tell your wife, "It's a joke," it's already too late.
My favorite thing about marriage: Having to listen to my wife scold
me for doing the same thing I watched her do 5 minutes before.
I went food shopping and forgot to use a coupon my wife had
given me. Now I'm not sure if I should go home, or assume a new
identity and start a new life.

Years ago, when one could actually enjoy travel, a man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation in Jerusalem and while they were there, the wife unfortunately passed away.
The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her buried here in the Holy Land for $150 or we can have her shipped back home for $5,000.”
The husband thought about it and told the undertaker he would have her shipped back home.
The undertaker asked him, "Why would you spend $5,000 to have her shipped home when you could have a beautiful burial here, and it would only cost $150?"
The husband replied, "Long ago, a man died here, was buried, and three days later, rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance!"

A little girl is talking to the priest in the confessional for the first time, and very nervous.
When she exits the room she's starts crying and runs into her parents arms.
They ask, what's wrong ?
The little girl replies,
When I finished talking to him he told me to say three Hail Mary's.
That's Ok honey, the mother said.
No it's not mom, I only know one Hail Mary.

You know you're getting older when the news story about a bikini clad woman in her 50s looking great and you immediately click on it and agree. Thank you Padma Lakshmi!

Tommy took Michelle out for a romantic dinner where the conversation turned to the subject of marriage.
Tommy had been saving for an engagement ring, but he was in graduate school and in dire need of a new computer.
Michelle was understanding, telling Tommy they had the rest of their lives to get engaged, so he should use his savings to buy a new computer instead.
During dessert, Tommy suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out an engagement ring.
Michelle was stunned, but after she collected herself, she looked up and prompted, "Well, don't you have something to ask me?"
Tommy then got down on bended knee.
"Honey," he said, "will you buy me a new computer?"

A Greek and an Irishman were sitting in a Starbucks one day comparing their two cultures. Over a double latte, the Greek mentions:

"We built the Parthenon, you may recall, along with the Temple of Apollo."
Aye, and it was the Irish that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices."

"But it was the Greeks who gave birth to advanced mathematics."
"Granted, but it was the Irish who built the first timepieces."

Knowing that he's about to deliver the coup de grace, the son of Athens points out with a note of finality:
"Keep in mind that it was the ancient Greeks who invented the notion of sex as a pleasurable activity!"

"Aye! True enough, but it was the Irish who got women involved."

Things I have thought about while having a glass of wine.... Cheers, RickO

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.
He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
A day without sunshine is like, night.
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?
I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.
Seen it all, done it all. Can't remember most of it.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
