Ever notice that analysts always seem to know what drove the market up or down AFTER the market went up or down?

Pissing and Moaning Gets the Job Done

Lawrence , Kansas, December 12, 2008 
A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house.

The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring.

Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1 . The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain
and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.

4.. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.
Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by 
pissing and moaning.

Proud Grandpa

Mentioned earlier that I was about to become a grandpa so guess now that I am one I need to brag on my new grandson:

And of course he is perfect in every way.  (Although at 3 AM his mom and dad might think otherwise.)

Teach Me to Pray

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike, then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me."

AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.

'Impossible!' says the doctor.. 'Show me.' 

The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream. 

The doctor said, 'You're not really a redhead, are you? 

'Well, no' she said, 'I'm actually a blonde.' 

'I thought so,' the doctor said, 'Your finger is broken.'

Movie: The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo - Investigative reporter looks for young girl who disappeared years ago. Kept my interest for the 2 1/2 hours in spite of the fact it was in Swedish with subtitles. Quite a dark and brutal film. Probably not what that the Swedish Department of Tourism is looking for to drum up more business.

Comment on Above Post -

The day after the movie, Eva, her sister Tina, and I joined the Midsommarfest in Rockford. The Swedes didn't look to threatening there so maybe the movie was fiction?

Soon to be Grandpa

How could I have gotten so old?  My daughter and her husband John will soon be three with the arrival of Julian.  That will make me Grandpa Mark.  Not sure I like the sound of that but what can I do?
