When I wake up on a Sunday morning with a hangover and read something
like this it makes it all worthwhile.

I subscribe to a daily jokes list and sporadically send them out to my
friends,
but this one is by far and away the best that I have seen in a long time.

Brick(Tired of paddling...Shopping for a motor)

An American crossed the border into Mexico to spend the day. Somewhere
along the way he lost his passport.

Upon attempting to re-enter the US, the customs officer refused to allow
him entry. He tried to convince the guy he was an American, but to no
avail.

Finally he stated; I can prove it! I've got Reagan tattooed on one butt
cheek and Clinton on the other. Surely only an American would consider
tattooing two American pres's to their body!

The customs office said Prove It!

The guy dropped his drawers, spun around, and bent over.

The customs office was convinced and let him enter.

He also stated that Massachusetts was "that direction" and to have nice
trip home.

The guy, very puzzled, said, "How'd you know I was from Massachusetts?

Well, you've got Reagan on the left cheek, Clinton on the other, and
Teddy Kennedy in the middle!

(If you lean left, change Kennedy to Gingrich or something!)

Kili and her Maui ways.....

It's evident to me that Pacific islanders have the same sense of
hospitality that is so common in the rural south.

Hence the message you'll get if you call here when we're not home....

"Howdy, you've reached the Hawaiian Hillbillies.....etc.."

Older joke, and better IMNSHO


The barmaid went to the tattoo parlor to get Elvis' face on her hip
beside her beaver.

When it was finished, she liked it so much she wanted a duplicate on the
other side.

Next night at work she was so excited she just had to show somebody.

Only customer in the bar was me (You can insert any old drunk here)


So she showed me her 2 new tats and asked if I could identify who was
portrayed there.

I looked left, looked right, and finally said, "M'aam, I don't know who
them twins are, but that's Willy Nelson in the middle!"

There is no such thing as too much garlic in anything.

I use good garlic powder (granulated) mostly, but when I use the real
deal I just smash it with the side of the cleaver and rough chop it.

Yup. I thought I useta use a lot of garlic. Then I married Jun. She uses a
LOT of garlic! Now I use about 10 times what I used to.

All garlic is not created equal. Most stupidmarket garlic is
of the softneck type. (Lots of rows around the center)
Hardneck (hard stem in the middle and one row of "toes"
around the outside) typically tends to be somewhat stronger.
There are literally hundreds of different types of garlic.
If she put 6 or 8 in and it still was very mild, it's
possible that you have elephant garlic, which really isn't
garlic - it's a variant of the leek and usually has very
large "toes".

We like hot/strong varieties so I grow German White and
German Red. If you would have used 6-8 toes of mine the
stew would have been basically un-eatable, and we like
garlic which is kinda obvious by the fact that I grow it
every year. ;-)

Check around in your area for farmers markets or depending
on where you live, there may even be a local garlic farm in
your area. It's very simple to grow. If you'd like some to
plant this fall, file my email address and shoot me a note
around the first of September. I go to a local garlic
festival each year to get mine to plant. Here in the NE US
you plant just before the weather is going to snap cold,
usually in October and harvest in late June or July.

I grow garlic, shallots, leek, & chives [and just a few onions]. I
buy most of my onions.

lol, you're welcome. But, what's this crap about you living
by Gilroy and never gone to the festival?!? Shamie shamie on
you. ;-)

We have one which is pretty big every September. Nowhere
near as big as Gilroy but still pretty big. We go every year
and walk around pigging out for a few hours. Last year I
even got brave enough to try the garlic ice cream and
believe it or not, it was very good. Of course, after all of
the other garlic foods I'd eaten, my taste buds could have
just been overwhelmed. ;-)

Once you start growing your own, you'll never want to go
back to store bought. Although, I'd think living that close
to Gilroy, you should be able to find a local farmers market
with good stuff pretty easily.
