Life Imitates Old Joke No. 341

2008-12-02T09:09:00.000-08:00

Life imitates old joke:
John and Jim are walking through the desert. Suddenly, a snake bites the end of Jim's prick! "AAIIIIIII!!" He panics, and John panics. "What can we do?"
"We should call for a doctor." John pulls out his cell phone and calls the doctor.
RING, RING, RING.
J: My friend is bitten by a snake. What to do?
D: What kind of snake?
J: A one meter green-yellow one. What can we do?
D: The only thing you can do, is to suck the poison out. Otherwise, your friend will be dead within half an hour.
John hangs up, looks over at Jim. Jim, pale looking already, asks what the doctor said.
Johny: You'll be dead within half an hour.

2008-11-24T09:09:00.000-08:00

Because I am often seen taking pictures at San Onofre, people I don't even know ask me to take a picture of them surfing. I usually reply with something like "Well, do something memorable and I'll take a picture."

The girl on the left hung on like a trooper, even when the wave came down on them and the raft flipped. Maybe it was because she held on so tight that the raft blew out a seam.

I just hated to let the vet put Sebastian into the incinerator after he died. I thought about having him stuffed, but I didn't want to have him just lying around like more clutter. Finally I thought of a way to have him around, but also have him be functional. I put him on a shelf in the library, but my office manager says that some of the secretaries have complained. I thought women liked cats. I just don't understand women.

Just A Sweet Girl Who Needs A Day At The Beach With Her Uncle

2008-10-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Please be nice to my niece when she comes to San Onofre Surf Beach next Sunday. She’s a sweet girl inside. She has had some problems, but my brother assures me that decapitating and burning her Barbie dolls is a normal rite of passage, though the fire did get out of hand.

The Fire Marshall was exaggerating when he said she drenched half the house in gasoline. Five rooms isn't really half, and they were mostly just the rooms with people in them. The claim that she tied up the whole family with wire while they slept, so that they would burn in the fire, is also untrue. First of all, Grandma was not home at the time, and she is very much part of the family, though she does have her own condo across town where she sleeps.

Secondly, several of them were tied up with extension cords, and while I would agree that there is wire in an extension cord, I think that the difference is important.

Thirdly, if she truly wanted to kill them, she could have done so when she slipped sleeping pills into their evening dinner. I mean really, what was the point? Are we really to believe that she drugged them just so she could tie them up, and she carefully calculated the correct dosage so that they would be awake in morning when she set the house afire; all so that they would be conscious when they were burned alive? That's absurd. If she were that clever, she would have simply given them all a fatal overdose and been done with it. What she told the doctors is just some fantasy.

The blood tests of the family are not reliable. Look that the LAPD and O.J. Simpson. They contaminated the blood in that case. It was proven. I don't think we can believe blood tests that show that all the family members in the house ingested the same pills. And how can they really tell that it was mixed in the food? The same lab tested the leftover food! For all I know the whole lab is contaminated with sleeping pills, so that everything that they test shows signs of sleeping pills.

Really, I just want you to be nice to her. She has just had some issues to deal with. You can read about this normal rite of passage, including how such hatred and violence are normal in a study by the University of Bath.

San-O Beach Tip No. 90: Sand Castles

Shortly afterwards she indicated, without saying a word, that she wanted to leave at that time and further, that she had a particular reason for wanting us to be somewhere else. Subtlety, thy name is woman.

Your dog will love it. I have been personally assured by SONGS employees that the warm water that discharges into the ocean from the nuclear generators is completely safe.
