Finally, something to laugh at regarding that horrific and tragic attack on our Capitol. |

Think of it as being like the political cartoons that made fun of Hitler during WWII, or the more recent cartoons showing that buffoon, Donald Jackass Trump.
I was amused to read that Jake Angeli (the "Shamon" of QAnon) is apologizing for being part of the Capitol building riot. That cowardly asshole is no doubt hoping to lessen his eventual prison sentence for his felony charges.
Now, if only Trump had enough sense to say he regretted his six zillion screw-ups while in the White House. But he is clearly not the "very stable genius" he claims to be, so that will never happen . . . _________________ ____________

A Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his motorcycle, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly,
A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the biker says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.”
The biker replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”
The reporter says, “Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I voted for Trump."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH”
And this is "news" as it is in 2021 ! _________________ There comes a time, thief, when gold loses its lustre, and the gems cease to sparkle, and the throne room becomes a prison; and all that is left is a father's love for his child. |

Blonde sex pot Vikki Dougan appeared in several movies wearing a truly backless dress (cut right down to the crack in her fanny), and it made her famous.
Jessica Rabbit's gown is inspired by Miss Dougan.
A group called The Limeliters released a song devoted to Miss Dougan, and it's hysterical!
Enjoy!

The Limeliters were one of the umpteen folk groups that proliferated during the folk-music boom of the early 1960s. I remember them doing TV commercials for (among other products) L&M cigarettes, Folger's coffee and Ford cars.
Talking of Vikki Dougan's "envelope-pushing" way of dressing, the 1972 French spy comedy The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe has a famous seduction scene in which Mireille Darc wears a long, slinky black dress cut so low in back it that exposes an inch or two of her butt cleavage. The dress was so iconic that when the movie was remade with Tom Hanks in 1985 as The Man With One Red Shoe, actress Lori Singer wore an exact copy of it! |

That dress reminds me of Jean Harlow's backless white dress in "Dinner at Eight" (1933). It been a few years since I have seen the movie, so it may not really plunge down that low. But it is a pre code movie so it may have.

English is the language of hypocrites. Here's proof.
If you take your dog to the vet and tell him it needs to be "put to sleep" — he kills the poor animal.
But if your dog comes inside after a hard day of playing in the yard and you see that he's "dead tired" . . . you tell him to go to bed!
And why do we say that two people "slept together" if they actually went home after they had sex? _________________ ____________

I don't often hear the old euphemisms "sleeping with" someone or "going to bed with" someone anymore. Nowadays people just have sex. If they're lucky, that is! |

I've always told my wife that I've never slept with another woman!
Thank God they were so good they always kept me awake! _________________ There comes a time, thief, when gold loses its lustre, and the gems cease to sparkle, and the throne room becomes a prison; and all that is left is a father's love for his child. |

Gosh, you must not watch many current TV shows!
They still use that phrase to refer to "having sex", so that the parents out there in TV Land don't have to explain embarrassing things to their youngest kids.
Then again, maybe you don't watch many older TV shows. Back then, NOBODY said they "had sex" with someone. It was the excepted way to refer to "intercourse" . . . or as Sheldon Leonard said on The Big Bang Theory, "Having coitus"!
Frankly I prefer "sleeping together" to that disturbingly clinical term!
I don't "have coitus" with women. I "make love".
Unless, of course, we happen to be married (and I have been, twice . . . ), in which case we end up "making war"! _________________ ____________
