The Coffee Shop / The "Media" in today's world.....
« on: April 30, 2013, 01:26:24 pm »
A Harley 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 Harley, 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 her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider 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 and a Republican
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the Washington Post to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
...and THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days...

The Coffee Shop / A very lovely lady.....
« on: April 24, 2013, 12:08:36 am »
was escorted to the dentist's examination room, towel placed around her neck and told that the Dr. would be right in.
When the Dr. walked up to the chair he told her to open wide.
When she opened her mouth she also reached out and cradled his 'jewels' in her outstretched hand.
Next she smiled sweetly, looked into his eyes and said huskily....
"We are NOT going to hurt each other now are we?"

The Coffee Shop / NEW...Sunburn Treatment!!!
« on: April 23, 2013, 11:23:51 pm »
A guy fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs.
He went to the hospital, and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns.
With his skin already starting to blister, and the severe pain he was in, the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a 25mg Viagra pill every four hours.
The nurse, who was rather astounded, asked, 'What good will Viagra do for him doctor?
The doctor replied, 'It won't do anything for his condition, but it'll keep the sheets off his legs'!!!
And keep him from rolling over!!! (editor's comment!)
