The Coffee Shop / coffee alert

It was my first time visiting Dr Putz for a colonoscopy
 I went into his office for my first rectal exam.
 His new blond nurse, Evelyn, took me to an examining room.
 She told me to get undressed and have a seat until the doctor could see me. She said that he would only be a few minutes.
 After putting on the gown that she gave me I sat down.
 While waiting I observed there were three items on a stand next to the exam table:
 A Tube of K-Y jelly,
 A rubber glove,
 And a beer.
 When Dr. Putz finally came in I said, "Look Doc", I'm a little confused. This is my first exam. I know what the K-Y is for, and I know what the glove is for, but can you tell me what the BEER is for?"
 At that, Doctor Putz became noticeably outraged and stormed over to the door.
 He flung the door open and yelled to his new blonde nurse, "Darn it, Evelyn !!! I said a BUTT LIGHT!"

Pattern Requests. / pattern request
« on: November 04, 2013, 08:15:30 pm »
Here are pictures of our newly adopted grandchildren. I want to make portraits of them for Christmas. Would you wonderful pattern makers out there have a go at them for me. I need to practice the art of making patterns but I want a good job so I will leave it to a professional. I am not sure if the pictures are workable, if not let me know and I will try to get others. Thanks.

Computer questions / Strange email
« on: October 24, 2013, 09:10:35 pm »
This morning when I checked my emails I noticed there was one in my inbox identified as, " no sender" and "no content". It was dated 12/31/1969. There was nothing to open, I closed the program and reopened it and that email was gone. Has anyone had this happen? And what could have caused it. Is it a communication from the 5th dimension? Wooooooo, woooooooo :o

Pattern Requests. / Moose and hunter
« on: October 16, 2013, 05:42:49 pm »
I have a customer who wants me to do a piece with a moose and hunter. It could be after a kill or it could be a moose with a hunter standing alongside. At this point anything goes. Does anyone have something or know a site that I could use or go to? Thanks for your help, Clyde

The Coffee Shop / So everyone wants to scream Racism
« on: October 04, 2013, 06:17:27 pm »
Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.


 A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?"

 The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?"

 The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something.

 "If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?

 "Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?

 "Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?

 "Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?

 "Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?"

 The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

 The guy says, "Because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Polish?"

 The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot."

The Coffee Shop / A duckie joke.
« on: September 29, 2013, 06:58:35 pm »

Three little ducks go into a bar......

 "Say, what's your name?" the bartender asked the first duck.

 "Huey," was the reply.

 "How's your day been, Huey?"

 "Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Been in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?" said Huey

 "Oh. That's nice," said the bartender. He turned to the second duck, "Hi, and what's your name?"

 "Dewey," came the answer from duck number two.

 "So how's your day been, Dewey! ?" he asked.

 "Great. Lovely day. I've had a ball too. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?"
 The bartender turned to the third duck and said,
 "So, you must be Louie?"

 "No," she said batting her eyelashes,
 "My name is Puddles."

The Coffee Shop / Scam.
« on: September 05, 2013, 07:43:31 pm »
This one has been around before but I thought I would remind you all about the threat that is out there. And there may be new members who have not heard about this despicable act men are subjected to.


MEN SCAMS
 Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves
 at the mall, parking lots, etc.
 But this is the first warning I have seen for men,
 and I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.

 A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at
 Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart.
 Last month I became a victim of a clever scam while shopping.
 Simply going to get supplies turned out to be quite traumatic.
 Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

 Here's how the scam works:

 Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come up to your vehicle
 as you are putting away your purchases.
 They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex,
 with their skimpy T-shirts.
 (It's impossible not to look).
 When you thank them and offer them a tip,
 they say 'No'
 but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's.

 You agree and they climb in the vehicle.
 On the way, they start undressing.
 Then one of them starts crawling all over you,
 while the other one steals your wallet.

 I had my wallet stolen
 August 4th, 9th, 10th,
 twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th.
 Also September1st, 2nd and twice on the third
 and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

 Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each.
 I found even cheaper ones for $.99 at the dollar store
 and bought them out in three of their stores.

 Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's.
 I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth
 from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Costco, Etc.

 So please,
 send this on to all the older men that you know
 and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam.
 (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)

The Coffee Shop / The Pope and Steven Harper
« on: September 01, 2013, 07:00:55 pm »
The Pope and Stephen Harper are on the same stage in the Maple Leaf Gardens in front of a huge crowd.

 The Pope leans towards Mr. Harper and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?

 This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"

 Harper replied, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand? Show me!"

 So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!

? AND THE CROWD ROARED and CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!

 Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

And if you are not Canadian, you can substitute your own .........
