My parents would drink TWO twelve cup pots of coffee every day except Sunday. My dad, age 80, still drinks half a pot every day.

While in the service I could not get enough. Nowadays, I only drink 2-3 cups when dining out with my date.

Coffee must be black as death,
Hot as hell,
And sweet as love... ~Turkish proverb

As I was taught in the US Navy, there are five grades of coffee:

Day one - freshly made coffee;

Day two - java;

Day three - joe;

Day four - jamoke;

Day five - carbon remover...

I visited Egypt in the mid-1970's, complements the US Navy. We anchored outside Port Said. US Special Services offered a bus trip to Cairo for $28. We saw the Sphinx, several pyramids, many ' Hey, Joes!' selling jewelry, assorted leather goods, camel and horse rides. A couple of ship mates started climbing one pyramid. They weren't close to the half way point when the bus pulled out to go to the Museum downtown.

From a distance the edges of the pyramids looked like straight lines. However, when standing next to them with your hand on the carved blocks, limestone I believe, it was incredible to see just how harsh time and wind had worn the edges down.

While sitting in traffic, I looked down one of the cross streets and witnessed a transaction taking place between a woman and man. They were standing next to a large black object hanging outside a doorway and she was counting coins into the man's hand. When he felt enough coins were exchanged, he drew a long skinny blade from his belt, rubbed his hand down the hanging object exposing purple ink and cut a large piece of meat off the carcass. He turned to the woman and placed the meat into some newspaper she had unfolded to accept her purchase and wrapped it tightly around the meat. The spot the butcher had cut was black once again - Flies!

Egypt turned out to have been an educational place to visit.

So, they just left the deer there - that's criminal!

For many hunters, hunting is a means to bring food to your table. Harvesting wild animals by hunting is a means to do so.

Do you feel it is fair for vegetarians to eat animal crackers?

PS I use artificial lures and plugs to catch fish. It is tougher to fish that way.

My da and I got into an argument.

I was winning when he yelled, "How would you like a bust in the mouth!"

"38D's!" I replied.

"You couldn't handle 38D's!" he retorted.

Turning towards the kitchen, I yelled, "MOM!"

When chemists die, they barium...

When the chips are on the ground, the water buffalo is empty.

Hahahaha.
