9/18: Clay, Ruben, Kimberley tour no go
By: Rodney Ho | September 18, 2007, 12:57AM EST

Kimberley Locke recently told Billboard she had talked to Clay and Ruben about a possible tour next year and she thought they were both receptive. Clay recently nixed the idea. Here is Locke’s clarification on her blog.. Bummer. I would have loved to have seen that!

I just wanted to clarify that recently during an interview regarding my “Christmas” album will Billboard, I was asked about any fellow Idols that I may speak with. I mentioned that I had spoken with only Clay and Ruben because I do try my best to keep in touch with them. I went on to say in that interview that I had spoken with them about a reunion concert tour idea and that Ruben and Clay were game for it because they told me they were. In fact, in my last conversation with Clay he suggested that my manager and agents contact his. They did. And they have spoken.

And in telling Billboard we were “in talks” and “Now it’s up to our agents and managers to book it,” I was being truthful in the information that I had received. I told Billboard I was “hopeful” that the tour would come together. (That didn’t get printed.) In no way did I imply that we were all committed to this tour idea. So contrary to Clay feeling “unfortunate,” that the story “found it’s way to the press unauthorized,” it was not “unauthorized.” It was put out there my me, who conceived the touring idea and called my friends for their involvement. If Clay had chosen to return my phone calls over the last two months, he would perhaps not feel as “unfortunate,” and he would have been made aware that I mentioned it to Billboard. I want to thank the fans of Clay and Ruben and my own who were positive and supportive of this idea, which again, was just an idea. It will now be put to rest.

Hmmm… notice a tone of unhappiness on Kimberley’s part that Clay hasn’t talked to her in a couple of months?

She also noted she’s almost down 40 lbs thanks to Jenny Craig and her single “Band of Gold” is now top 20 in the AC charts.

Oh, and she’s touring with Dave Koz this Christmas. So Kimberley is staying busy even without Ruben and Clay.

Good Morning All!!

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 8:13AM EST
Mitch, the cheesy/pineapple bake was great. And it complimented the omelett and sausage perfectly. My hubby and I both enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

And, good morning all. I like Kimberly. Sometimes I think Clay is full of himself. He doesn't come over well a lot of times.

Posted by: YoDaddy on September 18, 2007 8:14AM EST
Hey Mitch! Kimberly was in Savannah last weekend for our little Gay Pride Festival. I didn't go, but I hear she was good.

Posted by: shay on September 18, 2007 8:15AM EST
Claydo is going to mess right around and end up as a nobody. I believe her when she says he was up for the idea and now he is trying to act like he didn't say it. Like he is too big to do a reunion concert. I think not! Now I believe the story of him being an arse on that airplane putting his foot on that lady's armrest.

Posted by: Deirdre on September 18, 2007 8:28AM EST
Kimberly will soon be feeling the wrath of the claymates. :-) Too bad that this happened. I was under the impression that she and Clay were good friends.

Morning bloggers. I have a day of mom's doc appts to get through. Hope they're not like Choc's yesterday. :-( Have fun!

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 8:44AM EST
Nana, glad you liked the casserole (and that I got the recipe corrected before you tried it).

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 8:56AM EST
Morning Everyone, Clay is so full of himself, he is a has been. This is a perfect opp for him to gain some fans from others genre's. But then again, maybe he is satisfied with the hand full of fans he calls his "claymates".

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 9:04AM EST
I just don't understand why Clay things he has to act like a jerk. He's not a superstar. He didn't win Idol. And, he could very easily go back to teachingand no one would notice his step back into everyday life. It just amazes me why some who have emerged into public life to act like jerks.

Posted by: YoDaddy on September 18, 2007 9:10AM EST
But then, does CLay need a reunion tour? He plays Vegas and Kimberly plays Savannah. And Ruben....who?
OK, let the verbal beating begin. :)

Posted by: Jex on September 18, 2007 9:13AM EST
Good Morning Everyone! Clay seems to be a bit confused. He thinks he’s a real star. He needs to do whatever he can to keep his name out there. With his K.D. Lang hairdo.

For all you Seinfeld fans, the AJC has a blog asking for your favorite lines from the show.

Happy Festivus Everyone!!

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 9:15AM EST
I was not a Sienfeld fan.
Jex, are they asking for Krammers favorite lines too? lol

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 9:16AM EST
Good morning everyone!

Clay sounds as if he is just full of himself. Get over it already dude! Everytime I hear about him in the press he comes across as a jerk. So I agree with most about him, with Yo being the only exception. Not going to verbally abuse you today Yo...( :

"Claydo"...that's funny! Hey Shay!!

Dee, I hope your mom's appts go well and without the type of frustrations I had yesterday! I'm in a much better frame of mind today...THANK GOD!!

Posted by: linnykat on September 18, 2007 9:20AM EST
urgh. mernin' B'pound.... busy day again today... and i am having trouble keeping both eyes open at one time... i just want to sleeeeeeep in this cool weather!

not a Seinfeld fan either, sorry! i don't think i ever watched a single full episode! just never got into it, i guess.

maybe in rebellion since it was sooooooo popular (also never got into xfiles cuz i got so tired of hearing simply everyone talk about it, lol!

now i watch them when i seen 'em!

go figure

peace, gang!

Posted by: Deirdre on September 18, 2007 9:20AM EST
My favorite Seinfeld line: During the shrinkage episode Elaine says "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things!"

Posted by: flat screen on September 18, 2007 9:21AM EST
Good morning pound!!!I really hope yall are all having a wonderful day..I hope Clay finds himself and is happy for the rest of his life..lets all get behind Clay and wish him the best.

Posted by: Jex on September 18, 2007 9:27AM EST
LOL @ D! That's a good one. I've often thought that myself!

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 9:35AM EST
Mornin All!

Clay is a diva beyotch, end of story. I wish Kimberly much success.

Good morning folks. I havent been able to blog much lately due to last minute wedding planning things. My youngest will be married THIS Saturday and I cant wait! The reality is setting in now and I am starting to get a little mushy I hope I dont cry during the ceremony.

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 9:53AM EST
Vegas will take anyone, just ask Toni Braxton, or George Wallace.

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 9:54AM EST
KPH, it is ok to cry, I cried at my wedding, I tried not to, but when i saw my beautiful wife coming dwon the isle to join me for a life long commitment, I just couldnt resist.

Posted by: linnykat on September 18, 2007 10:03AM EST
How old is your youngest, K? And you actually are letting your kid get married when there's a Georgia/Alabama game the same day???? Is it a daytime wedding so you can get home in time for the game at 7:45?

i'm just kiddin' ya, hon....congrats!

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 10:05AM EST
I probably will Shaun I almost did at a wedding I attended this past Saturday that was one of my sons best friends from our neighborhood. I have known the guy since he was 5 and he is almost like a son to me. I coached him in baseball, football and wrestling. He was raised by his Mom in a single parent home with 2 sisters so I sort of took on the Father figure role and he calls me Pop's.

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:09AM EST
Question for you guys, is this the year of the cleavage? Why do so many women in Atlanta think exposing most of your cleavage is sexy???? Whatever happened to modesty? Don't get me wrong, I love to dress sexy on the right occasion. I took my 15 yr. old son and 14 yr. old stepson to the mall on Sunday and I swear almost every female in there were letting it all hang out, young, old, fat, skinny, it didn't matter, and of course they were loving it. It really bothers me that mother's would let their 12/13 yr. olds dress like that. I'm done ranting, but is it just me?

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 10:09AM EST
I cried when my daughter married, it was a happy one though. But then, I'm an emotional cripple. I cry at sappy commercials too.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:11AM EST
Eve, the moms of those 12/13 yr olds are probably dressing like that too, sadly enough.

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 10:11AM EST
Maybe that's the female "sagging" look. Clevage v. sagging pants? One TV station here has a female working the sports beat and she had cleavage doing her segment yesterday. I mentioned it to my husband, and he said "what's wrong with that". I thought it was inappropriate.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:12AM EST
Oh, and to add to that....a lot of parents these days do not have control of their children. Simple as that.

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 10:13AM EST
You hit the nail on the head there Choc.

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:16AM EST
Lol @ Nana.

You're right Choc, a lot of parents don't have control of their daughters but some of the older women are even worse. Some women just shouldn't be in public without a BRA! LOL.

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 10:17AM EST
Thanks Linny he is 28 and the wedding is at 2pm. The after party starts at 7:30 at a place on lake Oconee that has lot's of tv's so we wont miss the game.

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 10:20AM EST
Eve, you mean the women with boobs down to their waist with bras, and the ones 100 pounds overweight with the bras - I find myself laughing out loud. Oh Lordy......

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 10:20AM EST
So what's wrong with showing cleavage? I like it! LOL!

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:21AM EST
LOL @ Nana.

KPH, I'm sure you do, lol.

Posted by: YoDaddy on September 18, 2007 10:21AM EST
Choc is right. Some of these parents don't even have control of themselves. You should see what sahow sup at this school sometimes. Just last week this woman came up to get her child and she was wearing this see-through dress with her tatas just flappin' in the wind. And this was a BIG woman. Then a father came up in shorts and barefeet! Sometimes it's easy to see why some of these kids are the way they are.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:25AM EST
My mom and I talk about this all of the time. When I was a child I had a healty fear of my mom and what she would do to me if I disobeyed her. It didn't always keep me in line but it did for the majority of the time. My mom threatened me and my sister with what her actions would be if we did certain things. As adults, she has admitted that she would have NEVER done these things BUT, as children, we didn't know that. A few examples:

1. My sister is 7 yrs older than me and we didn't get along. It was a tenuous relationship. During one of our sparring matches, mom called, what we thought were Child Services, to come get us and put us in foster care because we didn't know how to get along with one another. Scared the shyt out of me, not sure about my sis though. It wasn't until we were adults that she confessed it was my dad on the other line. LOL It worked for a while...LOL

2. When my sis & I hit puberty, she gave us "the talk" which was followed by "the threat". If you get pregnant, after you have the baby, I will help you secure a one bedroom apartment in the housing projects up the street and you are on your own. "Two women can't live in the same house" was her favorite line. Yep. That too, she never would have done and didn't admit it until we were grown. Needless to say, THAT one worked for both me and my sister!! LOL

Fear and intimidation (applied properly) worked for my mom. LOL

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 10:26AM EST
YoDaddy - I can definitely tell you attaire stories while I've waited in line for grandson at schools. Elementary school with the short short shorts and skits and the very little tops - and the "after five" spiking heals. I think, are they getting ready for their night job, or did they just finish a day encounter? Unbelievable. And not to mention the cleavage at church some Sundays.

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 10:30AM EST
There is a BIG difference in looking sexy & slutty. Watching the red carpet Sunday night, some of the women had "cleavage" down to their waists while others were "covered". To me, the covered looked sexy because it made "imagine" what the others just let hang out there.

Posted by: flat screen on September 18, 2007 10:33AM EST
I was drunk is all get out the 1st time I tied the knot.I almost passed out at the end!

Posted by: YoDaddy on September 18, 2007 10:35AM EST
Yeah I saw some of the red carpet. Cleavage is NOT sexy when you can count ribs. Some of those girls need to eat!

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 10:37AM EST
Sometimes a little "hint" at cleavage is better than the ones that show everything to the belly button.

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 10:37AM EST
Cleavage is also not sexy if the man the woman is with has more "cleavage" than you do.

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:42AM EST
Lol @ Yo.

Choc your mom had the right idea. I don't have many discipline problems with my 15 yr. old son but my 5 yr. old daughter is another story. Sometimes I look at her and think are you possessed? She challenges my authority at every turn and it's draining at times, but when dad speaks she listens.

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:44AM EST
LOL @ Mitch. Man boobs are so "not cute", lol.

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 10:45AM EST
I hear ya Yo some of those women need to be introduced to some cornbread and beans! Skinny IS NOT sexy!

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 10:46AM EST
Eve, that is what i try to tell my wife. Even though our son is only 1, he listens to what i say, she can tell him something 5 times and he just sists there, I told her you have to put it in their head early that my word is serious, and when i speak you listen!
My grandmother had a famous quote, "If you dont whip them, the police will".

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:46AM EST
Eve, sorry about the 5 yr old. My sister was the "demon-possessed" child in our house. God willing she will grow out of it soon!! ( :

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:49AM EST
Shaun, my neice has the same issue with my nephew. The women in my family have to tell him 3 or 4 times and "threaten" him with the sight of a belt before he stops what he's doing wrong. But the moment his dad says stop, come here, stop screaming, sit it down...he is "Johnny on the Spot".

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:51AM EST
Shaun that's what my husband says too, that I have to be stern. I hate to spank my kids and I only do it if nothing else works so maybe that's the problem.

Choc, how old was your sister when she grew out of it? Please don't say adulthood, lol.

Posted by: on September 18, 2007 10:52AM EST
Morning All!

Dayum busy ass day today. Just skimming thru, agreed about teaching the kids early. I'm old fashioned so you hear my kids saying "yes, sir" "yes ma'am" please and thank you. If they step outta line, mama and daddy are gonna put 'em back in line. I HATE going out to eat and seeing kids climbing all over the chairs and up and running around. It starts when they're young, if you wait til they're 15 to start disciplining then, it's too late.

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 10:52AM EST
Shaun it must be the base in the male voice, lol.

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 10:54AM EST
As God said "spare the rod and spoil the child". I dont believe in whipping a child every time he or she misbehaves but strategic well timed butt stingings get their attention faster than anything you can say. I know it did with me and mine. Shaun your Grandmoter had a good very true quote there!

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 10:54AM EST
Eve, I wasn't talking about manboobs (although i agree they are "not cute") but some of these women are so skinny I can't see what they are trying to show off.

I said it on here before (and to my shock had people agree) that the way women (and men) dressed back on the classic TV shows (I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, Father Know's Best etc) looked so much sexy and more elegant.

Posted by: linnykat on September 18, 2007 10:55AM EST
Hubby says it's not so much what you say as how you say it.... there's a "command voice" that will almost always cause a more obedient response, even in adults... and he says some people have it and some don't...he's a security guy in a bar, and he HAS that voice, even drunks usually will respond to it! and usually that voice is low, quiet, and calm, as opposed to the yelling, or high pitched ranting that both men and women can use.... so yes, Eve, it part it might have to do with the tonal quality as well as the tone of voice!

just a thought, lol!

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 10:56AM EST
Eve, I was afraid you were going to ask that. My sister's "possession" (LOL) didn't start until 9 or 10 and lasted until her Sr yr in H.S.

Posted by: shay on September 18, 2007 10:57AM EST
Thanks for the tips Eve. I called and reserved the week of Thanksgiving!!!

Posted by: linnykat on September 18, 2007 10:57AM EST
Mitch, it's the same with both sexuality and violence in the visual media.... back in those days, it was implied, but not graphic, and to my way of thinking a LOT more effective when your imagination had to "fill in the blanks" on what was happening! today, it's all "out there" for the world to see, so no imagination necessary...

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 10:58AM EST
Got this song on my iPod and thought I would share it with those of you in Athens & those who wish they were...

Athen's Grease . . . Phil Vassar

If you're headin' south on
Georgia one twenty-nine
Straight into Athens past the Clark County line
There's an old Texaco right across
From the Athens Woolworth
Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that lift
There ain't a car on the planet that he can't fix
He swears on his chrome-plated ratchet
That his heaven on earth

Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease

Six days a week, he's a man on a mission
He's the redneck Picasso of
The manual transmission
And the only man in town who can make
Charlie Vincent's van go
When the sun goes down
And the day is endin'
Billy's still rockin' with a rack and pinion
Long as that boy's at work, well he's right at home

Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease

Well, he's a rotatin,' lug nuttin,'
Spark pluggin' good ole boy
With his name on his shirt
And Thelma Lou Taylor likes to hang out at the station
'Cause she loves to watch him work

Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease

Yeah, Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's grease
Athen's grease, baby

Posted by: Eve07 on September 18, 2007 11:00AM EST
LOL @ Choc, that's a long time. My daughter's started at the end of the "terrible two's" so hopefully the change is just around the corner.

LOL Mitch!!!! i've been in Athens (off and on) since '74... I'm trying to place where the old Woolworth's used to be, and for the LIFE of me.... i can't!!! Texaco.... old texaco station.... hmmmmmm

i may have to go into the Athens-Clarke County archives, LOL!!! now my curiousity is aroused!

greg... does she only drink when you're home on weekends & holidays, or home sick? or does she drink all the time...

...i'm just askin' ...

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 11:17AM EST
I'm not sure how old that song is. Phil had it on a more recent CD but I had it on a CD by Curtis Day from the mid 90's

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 11:18AM EST
Keeping the Preacher
A Preacher was explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave.

Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the City stands up and proclaims, "If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!"

The congregation sighs in relief and applauds.

Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says "If the Preacher will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary and also establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of all his children!"

More sighs and loud applause.

Sadie Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the Preacher stays, I will give him sex!"

There is total silence.

The Preacher, blushing, asks her "Mrs. Jones, whatever possessed you to say that?"

Sadie's 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replies "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help and he said 'Screw the Preacher!' "

P.S. Isn't senility something else?

Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

I found that when I used a firm voice, and looked them straight in the eye when getting my point across, it worked best. Also, I was a lecturer for my daughters when growing up, and they usually did what was told because they didn't want the 1 hour lecture. Worked. :-)

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 11:28AM EST
I have been trying to find more on it but I haven't found it yet. This morning on Fox, they had reported on a lawmaker in Nebraska that has filed papers to sue God. The lawsuit claims that God is a terrorist that allows tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes etc to destroy property and kill countless people.

Then he goes own to say that he only filed it to show how so many lawsuits in the country are frivolous. I want to know 1) how they are going to serve papers? and 2) are they going to hold God in contempt of court? Afterall, God has been banned from all government buildings.

Posted by: flat screen on September 18, 2007 11:32AM EST
Linny..I dont really know..I'm usually off with me ol dogs combing the woods for valuables...she loves to get on the front porch and waiten on ol Flats to come on home.We buy liquor and beer at the piggly wiggly there in town 6 days a week.I thanks she dranks cause she loves me!

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on September 18, 2007 11:34AM EST
When calling witnesses to the stand, do they still place their hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? LOL I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Mitch, I read that and my initial thought was "boy, I sure don't want to be in your shoes come judgement day".

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 11:36AM EST
Flats how much have you had to drink today? LOL!

Posted by: Mitch on September 18, 2007 11:37AM EST
LOL They had the man that filed the lawsuit on the story this AM. It is going to be interesting.

That is an interesting question, Choc. They can't have the Ten Commandments but yet they have the Bible to swear on? But to an Athiest, the Bible is no different than a Charles Dickens novel.

Posted by: mynana on September 18, 2007 11:38AM EST
OMAHA, Neb -- State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He said on Monday that it is to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.

Posted by: KPH on September 18, 2007 11:40AM EST
Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is
freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have
demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of
the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of
poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or
tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through
a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop
Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to
drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm
doing it as a public service

Chambers said senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objection is that the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all.

"Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody -- even God," Chambers said.

11 PEOPLE ON A ROPE



Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a

helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not

strong enough to carry them all, so they decided

that one had to leave, because otherwise they were

all going to fall. They weren't able to name that

person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the

rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up

everything for her husband and kids or for men in

general, and was used to always making sacrifices

with little in return. As soon as she finished her

speech, all the men started clapping.

A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States.

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America!"
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says,
"Thank you for the wonderful America!"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Iraq, free relocation because war……..No American!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from India"
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"

The Indian lady checks her watch and says..."Probably at work...”

I think he would have been better to have filed the lawsuit against some of the attorneys that file these lawsuits. They were talking on the news this AM how these lawsuits take up time and cost taxpayers so much. Many now are just out of plain stupidity because people do not want to take responsibilty for their on actions. Just like the teens who got FAT and then sued McDonalds.

On my way home from work I usually get behind a schoolbus. This is on a busy road during rush hour. It makes 2 stops every afternoon at the same apartment complex. One at each entrance that are less than the length of a football field apart.

And we wonder why we are becoming an obese country.

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.

While on the operating table, she had a near death experience.

Seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up"?

God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to

live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a

face-lift, brow lift, lip enhancement, boob job, liposuction, and a

tummy tuck.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home, she was hit by an ambulance

And killed.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had

Another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of the ambulance?"

God replied, "Girrrlllllll, I didn't even recognize you!"

Bob and the Blonde


Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a bar around 9:58 PM.
He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV.
The 10:00 PM news was coming on. The news crew
Was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building
Preparing to jump.


The blonde looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"
Bob says, "You know, I bet he'll jump."
The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't."
Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the
Ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.
The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob,
Saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Bob replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5
PM news and so I knew he would jump."
The blond replied, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Bob took the money.

You know you are getting old when everything

either dries up or leaks.

First you forget names, then you forget faces.

Then you forget to pull up your zipper.

It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
