Now this makes sense to me !!!



Sent to me by a hard working guy:



I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to earn that pay cheque, as I work on a rig site or a Fort Mac construction project, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them.??

Please understand I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.

I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer & smoking dope.

Could you imagine how much money the provinces or states would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance cheque.?

Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!



Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.
The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million.
Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.
I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border. He's kind of a "Git-R Dun" kind of Sheriff.

Update on Joe Arpaio

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO

HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF

AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
(In Arizona)
who created the
"Tent City Jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then He Started
Chain Gangs For Women
So He Wouldn't Get
Sued For
Discrimination.

He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order
that Required Cable TV For Jails
So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.

When asked why the weather channel
He Replied,
So They Will Know
How Hot It's Gonna Be
While They Are Working
ON My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee
Since It Has
Zero Nutritional Value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton.....If You Don't Like It,
Don't Come Back."

He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.


More On The Arizona Sheriff:

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter
Than Usual In Phoenix
(116 Degrees Just Set A New Record),
the Associated Press Reports:
About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment
At The
Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees
Inside The Week Before.

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.

"It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,"
Said James Zanzot,
An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year.
"It's Inhumane."

Joe Arpaio,
the tough-guy sheriff
who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic
He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And
Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too,
And They Have To
Wear Full Battle Gear,
But
They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,
So Shut Your Damned Mouths!"

Way To Go, Sheriff!
Maybe if all prisons were like this one
there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders.
Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.


Sheriff Joe
was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Please take no offence this is just Idiot Logic

Everyone concentrates on the problems
Your having in this country lately;

Illegal immigration,
hurricane recovery,
alligators attacking people in Florida.

Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems.
It's a win-win situation.

Think of it this way:-

+? Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.?


+ Send the dirt to New Orleans?
? ...to say... ?
+ Raise the level of the levies.?

+? Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.?






Any other problems you would like for me to solve today??

?This was sent to me by a woman
and that's why it's in this thread?

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of "pretend" bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care
(weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they're about to leave for vacation).
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

There is only one TV between them, and a remote with dead batteries.

Each father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of each and every character on cartoons.

The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, which they will apply to themselves either while driving or making three lunches.

Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas.

Each man must adorn himself with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and eyebrows groomed.
The men must try to get through each day without snot, spit-up or barf on their clothing.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme,
unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must try to explain what a tampon is for when the 6-yr old boy finds it in the purse.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

He will need to read a book and then pray with the children each night without falling asleep,
and then feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each morning by 7:00.
They must leave the home with no food on their face or clothes.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information:
each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctors, each child's favorite color, middle name,
favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00 a.m. and then spend the remainder of the day
tending to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until they are better.
They must have a loving age appropriate reply to, "You're not the boss of me."

The kids vote them off the island based on performance.

The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years...eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

I'm really sure this applies everwhere!

At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.

Be sure to read all the way to the end!_*

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin ,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words upon his tomb,
" Taxes drove me to my doom..."

When he's gone, Do not relax,
Its time to apply the inheritance tax.

AMEN ANDY ROONEY !

Right on, Andy Rooney!

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:



I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except

numbers.



The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things

like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment

Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine,

White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what

happens... Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.



Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can

kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you

from driving to the ball game.



I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason; that is why there

are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!

ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?



I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is

an opinion.



I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are

different, weird, or tick me off.



When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of

the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of

Probability.



I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a

newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact,

if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!



My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the

countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.



I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you

threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word

"freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.



I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are

qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsor ed bank loans or

tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or

any other business.



We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives

in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over

here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their

interpretations.



I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor.



I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television.

That doesn't stop you from watching them.



I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and

continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating

system that's better, and put your name on the building.



It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a

parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when

necessary, and say "NO!"



I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't

pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that

new lip ring heals I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you

serve me French fries!



I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and

not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be

"African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around

saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great,

great, great grandfather was from Europe ... I am proud to be from America

and nowhere else.



And if you don't like my point of view, tough...



I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO

THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! AMEN!

WOW . . . who new Andy Rooney was such a moron?

I wonder when Mr. Rooney was talking about BET or JET magazine if he ever considered exactly HOW many blacks have won an Oscar as opposed to whites and WHY that is? There have ONLY been 12 Academy award winners.

Or that most of the things like Ms. America and such are run by all white panels and judges and there's usually only 1 or 2 minorities in the pageant. . . . i mean how many Minority Ms. America's have there been since this ridiculous pageant has been in existence? Not many.

And I wonder If Mr. Rooney has ever even BEEN to Spanish Harlem or Harlem (or ANY inner city area for that matter) and realized that it looks almost EXACTLY the same as it did many years ago and that the NAACP or UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND had to be started because alot of people who live in these kinds of places just can't afford a college education that easily.

Of course there's no united caucasian college fund, because ever since the "CAUCASIANS" came over here and pretty much TOOK the country from the NATIVE AMERICANS, they've pretty much made every opportunity available to whites SINCE then.

I mean REALLY Mr. Rooney blacks in this country had to FIGHT for their civil rights, rights that were SUPPOSED to be granted to them by this so called "CONSTITUTION" as recent as the '60s! I mean come on!

I'm sure Mr. Rooney wasn't bitchin' about there being BLACKS ONLY water fountains and BLACKS ONLY bathrooms or BLACK seats on the bus? So why's he bitchin' about the blacks tryin' to get their own stuff goin'?

Every time something is started by a minority group it's because that minority group is being kept out of the magazine, tv show, etc.
so they go and make their own thing, what's wrong with that? . . . The REASON there is even a such THING as the LATIN GRAMMYS is because with all the different kinds of latin music that's out there, there's HARDLY an mention of it in the "AMERICAN" Grammy awards . . . . So MAYBE just maybe if EVERY other race was included more in what the whites had going on then there would be no NEED for there to be a BLACK beauty pageant or BLACK entertainment magazines or channels, or black college funds, or minority business loans or affirmative action . . . . NONE of these kinds of things would exist if EVERYone was TRULY treated as equals and included in everything.

Has Mr. Rooney counted how many BLACK presidents there have been?
Or how many black people are in congress? compared to whites?

And as far as speaking ENGLISH if you're an AMERICAN citizen, the language here in america was a totally different dialect UNTIL the ENGLISH came over and started running things, Native Americans had their own thing going on until they got butchered and everything was taken from them, English was brought over by the BRITISH, even the colors of the American flag are from the BRITISH flag! I wonder if Mr. Rooney ever gave that a thought? Hmmmm . . . probably not . . . .

And I wonder why Mr. Rooney doesn't think people not born in this country should be allowed a loan to open a business? I'm sure he's buyin' coffee at one of "those" places or has eaten at one of "those" restaurants and that all goes back to other people just getting a chance to do something with their lives that they might not be able to do so because they couldn't get into HARVARD or YALE.

So this millionaire old fart is pissed because someone has a coffee shop or a news stand?

As far as Mr. Rooney thinking we "Oh so gloriously" went over to other countries to help defend their freedoms because it was the RIGHT thing to do, is ANOTHER crock of shit, wars have all been pretty much fought for the SAME reason . . . MONEY Mr. Rooney that's all . . .

And why exactly would Mr. Rooney be so angered with someone wanting to call themselves "AFRICAN-AMERICAN" . . . would he rather it BLACK AMERICAN or EBONY AMERICANS? . . . NATIVE AMERICANS still call themselves NATIVE AMERICANS, does he have a problem with that?

I think Mr. Rooney should just relax and drink his prune juice and maybe pop a Viagra and go have some fun, he seems a little uptight . . . and alot of this sounds like the ravings of an ignorant madman who's thinking hasn't REALLY evolved too much, I wouldn't be surprised if he's part of some secret society that wear sheets to represent the fallen rebel soldiers of the south . . . . .
but that's just one humble LATIN AMERICAN'S opinion! . . . oops or is that HISPANIC AMERICAN? Ker

"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.

I can't even talk the way these people talk:

Why you ain't,

Where you is,

What he drive,

Where he stay ,

Where he work,

Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.

You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education,

And now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics .

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ?

Or who is his father ?

People putting their clothes on backward:

Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward , pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up

And got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans.

Those people are not Africans;

they don't know a thing about Africa!

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed.

Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs.

We, as black folks have to do a better job.

Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

We cannot blame the white people any longer."



Dr. William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

WAY TO GO, BILL !!

It's never been about color...It's about behavior!!!,

9 Things I Hate About Everyone



1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?


2 People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V.. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?


7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8 When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?


9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Isn't Bill Cosby the guy who was in the paper because he cheated on his wife some time ago? And some child out of wedlock was lookin' for child support or something like that? . . . I guess that high powered education didn't include morals and not cheating on your wife . . . Some role model Dr. Cosby. . . . yeah he's someone who should tell people how to "BEHAVE". Right up there with Woody Allen (who married his adopted daughter) and Marv Albert.

I'm willing to bet Mr. Cosby didn't stop from listening to Marvin Gaye or Bill Withers or Ray Charles or The Isley Bros. (All artists who used the word AINT in their songs) In fact he featured a Ray Charles song on one of his episodes.

I think he might be bitchin' about the guys with their caps backwards and their boxers showin' because these guys like 50 CENT, PUFF DADDY, ICE CUBE or SHAQUILLE O'NEAL have as much loot as he does and they don't hafta wear a corny lookin' sweater to do it, they can be themselves and use the word "AINT" and get paid . . . . I'm sure Bernie Mac or Chris Rock "AINT" sweatin' it, neither are the WAYANS BROS. or EDDIE MURPHY for that matter . . . . It reminds me of a story Eddie Murphy once told about Cosby . . . and it goes a little something like this . . .

"I love Bill Cosby's show. I been a big fan of Bill Cosby all my life.

Never met the man before, but he called me up about a year ago
and chastised me on the phone for being too dirty on-stage.


It was real weird, because I had never met him and he just thought it was... He should call me up, because he was Bill, and tell me that he did... About what comedy is all about.

And I sat and listened to this man chastise me.
And when Bill Cosby chastises you, you forget you grown.

You feel like one of the Cosby kids and shit.

And I ran in the house all excited to talk to Bill and picked up the telephone and Bill got raw on me.

I was like, "Hello, Mr. Cosby?" And you hear:

"I would like to talk to you"...about some of the things that you do in your show.

"Now, I'm going to tell you a story."

He always tells you stories.

"I would like to tell you a story. I have five children.

"One, two, three, four, five. Five... Five children.

"I live in Massachusetts with my wife, Camille, and my five children.

"NOW, of the five children that we have, there are four girls and a boy.

"The boy's name is Ennis. He loves everything you do.

"Comes home from school the other day

"with a big smile on his face. And my son looks just like me.

"He walks through the door, looking at me with this big smile,

"and I cannot resist, because it's such a beautiful smile.
"And he walks up and I say, 'What are you smiling about? '

"And the child says to me: 'I'm smiling because I need money to go see the Eddie Murphy show.

'Please give me money for a ticket.'

Now, if the child is smiling this way because he needs money for a ticket, "I have to give him money for a ticket.

I do not handle the money in the house. My wife, Camille, handles the ticket money.

So I must go into the kitchen to where my wife is cooking dinner for the family.

And she is inside the kitchen cooking. And she's got a bowl. And she's cooking up the food, man. She's cooking it up.

And the child walks in the room with the smile and he says,
"Mother, please, money."

"She gives him the money he runs off to see your show.
"Now, we sit in the living room waiting for Ennis to return.

"At about 1:00 in the morning, the child comes through the door.
"He has a different look on his face.

"A look like he heard something at your show that he's never heard before.

"And I say to my child, I say, 'Child... 'I say, 'What did the man say on the stage? '

And he says, 'Pop, the man comes out and says these things.'

I say, 'Well, what did he say? '
Pop, he comes out and says some stuff.'

I say, 'What did he do? '

Pop, he walks out and he goes: "Hello, suck this, and MF and kiss my big black stuff "And suck it and stick it down in your mouth and suck it, suck it."'
So Mr. Cosby tells me: "You cannot say filth, flarn, filth, flarn, filth in front of people."

And I say, "I never said no 'filth, flarn, filth'."

"You know what I'm talking about. I can't use the type of language that you use, but you know what I mean when I say 'filth, flarn, flarn, flarn, filth'."

I say, "I never said 'filth, flarn, filth'.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm offended you called. F#ck you."

That's when Bill got pissed and said: "That's what I'm talking about.
You cannot say 'f#ck'...in front of people."

And I got mad. Because he thought that was my whole act.
Like I just walked out on-stage and cursed and left.


I manage to stick in some jokes between the curses.

You couldn't give no curse show. Walk out, say, "Hey, Felt Forum,
"motherf#cker, d#ck, p#ssy, snot and shit. Good night.
"Good night. Suck my d#ck. Bye-bye."


I was pissed off. I was so mad
I called Richard Pryor's house up.


I said, "Yo, Richard, Bill Cosby just called me up
and told me I was too dirty."


Richard said: "The next time motherf#cker call, tell him I said, 'Suck MY dick. I don't give a f#ck.

"Whatever the f#ck make the people laugh, say that shit."

He said, "Do people laugh when you say what you say?"

I said, "Yes."

"Do you get paid?"

I said, "Yes."

He said, "Well, tell Bill I said: "Have a Coke and a smile
and shut the f#ck up.' "The Jell-O pudding-eating motherf#cker."

Richard... Richard is the rawest motherf#cker in show business.

Richard's the one that made me wanna do comedy.

Passport Application/So Funny But True!




Dear Mr. Minister,



I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this.

How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a t.v. cable from them back in 1997, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date.

For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand?



My birth date you have on my social insurance card, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my health

insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight goddamn passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out

before being allowed off the planes over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done at election times.



Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHIT!



I apologize, Mr. Minister. I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bullshit! You send the application to my

house, then you ask me for my @#&in' address. What is going on? You have a gang of Neanderthals assholes workin' there!



Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my ass on a

sandy beach.



And would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do

something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone!



Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city and get another @#%in copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of $60! Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day??

Nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the @#%in' place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some asshole to confirm that it's really me on the goddamn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?!

(@#%in morons)



Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!



Signed - An Irate @#%ing Canadian Citizen.



P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 when one of my forefathers took up arms against the Americans.

I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had security clearances up the yingyang. I was aide de camp to the lieutenant

governor of our province for ten years and I have been doing volunteer work for the RCMP for about five years. However, I have to get someone

'important' to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN COMMUNIST @#%ing CHINA!!!

THE OTHER DAY, SOMEONE AT A STORE IN OUR TOWN READ THAT A METHAMPHETAMINE LAB HAD BEEN FOUND IN AN OLD FARMHOUSE IN THE ADJOINING COUNTY. HE ASKED ME A RHETORICAL QUESTION,

'WHY DIDN'T WE HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN YOU AND I WERE GROWING UP?'

I REPLIED THAT I DID HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN I WAS YOUNG:

I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING.

I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH FOR WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS.

I WAS DRUG TO FAMILY REUNIONS AND COMMUNITY SOCIALS NO MATTER THE WEATHER.

I WAS DRUG BY MY EARS WHEN I WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO ADULTS.

I WAS DRUG TO THE WOODSHED WHEN I DISOBEYED MY PARENTS, TOLD A LIE, BROUGHT HOME A BAD REPORT CARD, DID NOT SPEAK WITH RESPECT, SPOKE ILL OF THE TEACHER OR THE PREACHER, OR IF I DIDN'T PUT FORTH MY BEST EFFORT IN EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASKED OF ME.

I WAS DRUG TO THE KITCHEN SINK TO HAVE MY MOUTH WASHED OUT WITH SOAP IF I UTTERED A PROFANITY.

I WAS DRUG OUT TO PULL WEEDS IN MOM'S GARDEN AND FLOWER BEDS AND COCKLEBURS OUT OF DAD'S FIELDS.

I WAS DRUG TO THE HOMES OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS TO HELP SOME POOR SOUL WHO HAD NO ONE TO MOW THE YARD, REPAIR THE CLOTHESLINE, OR CHOP SOME FIREWOOD.AND IF MY MOTHER HAD EVER KNOWN THAT I TOOK A SINGLE DIME AS A TIP FOR THIS KINDNESS, SHE WOULD HAVE DRUG ME BACK TO THE WOODSHED.

THOSE DRUGS ARE STILL IN MY VEINS, AND THEY AFFECT MY BEHAVIOR IN EVERYTHING I DO, SAY, AND THINK.

THEY ARE ST RONGER THAN COCAINE, CRACK, OR HEROIN; AND IF TODAY'S CHILDREN HAD THIS KIND OF DRUG PROBLEM , AMERICA WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.


GOD BLESS THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones,

because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.
