BEER

I just don't understand women. A few days ago, my wife told me we had to cut back on expenses, and that I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker; maybe a 12 pack on weekends---
Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day she came home from grocery shopping and when I looked at the receipt and saw $45 in makeup. I said,
"Wait a minute. I've given up beer and you haven't given up anything!"
She said,
"I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you."
I told her,
"Hell, that's what the beer was for!"

FISHING

(Sioux Falls, SD) A peaceful Sunday of fishing turned sour for Josh Williams recently. The problems started when Mr. Williams hooked a nice smallmouth bass, and a bald eagle took notice. While the eagle swooped in, attempting to catch the bass in its talons, Mr. Williams was observed by a Fish and Wildlife Service officer trying to scare the eagle away by throwing stones at it.
The FWS officer testified in U.S. District Court of South Dakota that Mr. Williams had clearly violated one of the Endangered Species Act's prohibited activities that specifically makes it illegal to "...harass....an endangered or threatened species without a permit from the Secretary of the Department of the Interior."
The judge agreed, finding the man guilty of a misdemeanor violation of the Act. The judge was lenient in sentencing, however, requiring only that the man apologize to the eagle. Mr. Williams expressed remorse, stating that the eagle would be welcome to help him fish anytime it wanted to. The eagle had no comment.


OBSERVATIONS

"A true friend is someone who knows you're a good egg even if you're a little cracked."

Depression is merely anger........... Without Enthusiasm.
