    howzat for a dramatic exit? CYA :wavin:


    Two young boys walk into a pharmacy one day, pick out a box of Tampax and proceed to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asks the older boy, "Son, how old are you?" "Eight," the boy replies. The man continues, "Do you know what these are used for? "Not exactly," the boy says. "But they aren't for me. They're my brother ? he's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now he can't do either one."

    Two ministers are discussing their lives in the church, and one of them says, "I never slept with my wife until after we were married. How about you?" the second preacher thinks for a second, scratches his head, and says, "I'm not sure, what was her maiden name?"

    These real-life pranks landed the pranksters in jail, court, or hell



    Crappy Birthday to You
    Prank: Four teenage girls from Pennsylvania baked a birthday cake for a fellow student and decorated it with nature?s frosting: human turds. The B-day girl ate a morsel, and, unaware that the dessert came from someone?s butt, brought the rest home to share with her family. Thinking it ?tasted bad,? they sent it to a lab, where scientists revealed that the secret ingredient was fished out of a toilet. Seconds, please!
    Punishment: The mean girls got 22 months? probation and were ordered to do 200 hours of community service, cleaning bedpans at a nursing home and picking up dog shit. Which, in their case, is like foraging for food.

    Really, Really High School
    Prank: For a potluck at the University of Colorado Boulder, students Thomas Cunningham, 21, and Mary Essa, 19, allegedly punked their history class by serving up a tray of marijuana-laced brownies. Three people were hospitalized, including the professor, who experienced dizziness, blackouts, and a raging case of bongo playing.
    Punishment: Cunningham and Essa were arrested and charged with 18 felonies each, including second-degree assault and conspiracy to induce consumption of a controlled substance. They now face up to 78 mellow-harshing years in prison, or 537 years in stoner time.

    Sex Bomb
    Prank: Eighteen-year-old Tyell Morton placed a blowup sex doll in a bathroom stall at his Rushville, Indiana high school. Unfortunately, school officials were unfamiliar with things you?re supposed to put your dick into and called the bomb squad, thinking it was an explosive device. Well, you can explode into it?
    Punishment: Morton spent five days in jail and faced a felony charge of institutional criminal mischief, but the charges were eventually dropped and his record was wiped clean in return for eight hours of community service. He and the blowup doll were married and have two beautiful half-human, half-balloon babies.



    Jesting H. Christ
    Prank: Baby Jesus was at the center of a prank at Monmouth College in Illinois when a group of sorority sisters snatched him from his manger?along with Mary, Joseph, and several stable animals?and placed the holy figures on the lawn of the school?s president. Witnesses were able to describe the girls? getaway vehicle, and cops tracked them down at a nearby Taco Bell, where they fessed up to the practical joke and to cheating on their diets with way too many Chalupa Supremes.
    Punishment: The perps of Kappa Kappa Gamma had to put in 25 hours of community service...and an eternity in hell.

    Supersize Hit
    Prank: Texas resident James Markle, 19, called up a McDonald?s and, posing as a corporate official, convinced an employee to set off the fire suppression system. Then Markle told him that the liquid was toxic and that he needed to break all the windows ?for ventilation.? The worker followed orders and smashed out four windows, resulting in $5,000 in damages and a new menu item: Glass-Shard McNuggets.
    Punishment: In the eyes of the law, Markle?s ?prank? was considered a felonious terrorist threat, and he was sentenced to five years in prison. Something tells us this McPrankster won?t be lovin? it in lockdown.

    A woman speeds by a motorcycle cop holding a radar gun. He pulls her over and asks, ?What?s the rush?? She replies, ?I?m on my way to assist in an emergency procedure at the hospital.? The cop asks what she does in the ER. ?I?m an asshole stretcher,? she says. The cop scratches his head. She explains, ?You see, I prep the patient by taking one finger at a time to slowly stretch the asshole till my hands have made the patient?s asshole a full six feet open. ?Looking at the woman in shock, he inquires, ?What do you do with a six-foot asshole?? The lady says, ?Usually we give it a badge and a radar gun.?

    I was talking to a girl in the bar last night, and she said, ?If you lost a few pounds, had a shave, and got your haircut, you?d look alright.? I said, ?If I did that, I?d be talking to your friends over there instead of you.?

    A guy who?s looking for his buddy walks into a barbershop and asks, ?Bob Peters here???Sorry,? replies the barber. ?We just cut hair.?

    A woman walks into a bar and orders a whisky on the rocks. The bartender takes the glass and grabs a handful of ice. ?Wait a minute,? says the woman. ?I don?t know where those hands have been. Please use the tongs.?

    The bartender gives her a funny look, but shrugs and obliges. A couple minutes later the woman notices that the bartender has a string hanging from the zipper of his pants. ?Excuse me, I don?t want you to get the wrong idea, but you have a string hanging from you zipper.?

    ?Yeah, that?s so when I go to the bathroom, I can just pull it out without having to touch anything,? says the bartender. ?That way I don?t need to wash my hands.?

    ?That makes sense,? says the woman, and she continues to enjoy her drink. A few moments later, after having time to think, she adds, ?I don?t mean to pry, but how do you get it back in??

    The bartender smiles and replies, ?That?s what the tongs are for.?

    Twin brothers from Arkansas walk up to a U.S. Air Force recruiting officer and tell him they?d like to join the service.

    The officer asks the first twin, ?What can you bring to the Air Force??

    ?I?m a pilot,? he replies.

    ?You?re in,? says the officer.

    ?I chop wood,? offers the other twin.

    ?Sorry,? says the officer. ?We don?t really need any wood choppers.?

    ?But you hired my brother.?

    ?Sure,? says the officer. ?He?s a pilot.?

    The brother rolls his eyes and replies, ?Yeah, but I have to chop the wood before he can pile it!?

    Goede morgen Mick!
    I will be here to start the post tomorrow. Sunday is my favorite exercise class, so I am up at 7:30.

    It was sort of okay yesterday, no word from the owner though. She better be laid up in hospital for some reason to ignore this situation. Actually, our neighborhood is really nice, with decent human beings for the most part. We are just unlucky with this situation. There are two really great neighborhoods in the Hague, so says my hubby, and this is one of them. We don't even hear traffic at night. Anyhow. Normally it is very quiet here even during the day.
    We have been looking all over the Netherlands for a house, but we really have to stay in the Randstad because of me. I want to teach art, and the majority of the International Schools are here. Outside of the Randstad there are affordable properties, inside the Randstad it is laughably expensive. And everything under, say 800,000 is SMALL. The housing market is taking a dive, (not as bad as the states), but I do not want a scary mortgage. It makes no sense. I think the situation is similar in the UK? So, I do not want to make an impulsive decision. Buying the offending apartment upstairs will solve our immediate problem for now. It is fine, but no reply yet. My husband promised we will take action before we leave on our trip in June. I am entirely at the end of my rope. I was so exhausted yesterday and the day before. I am so off balance.

    The L-Glut seems to have a calming effect though. I still woke up twice in the night, but I feel like I slept deeper. The neighbors came home at 4AM, so that woke me, but I feel pretty okay this morning.

    Is it sunny there today Mick? Usually we have the same weather.

      Hi Guys - just a quick check in- all OK here. Its night-time and I have been working at home plus made a big pot of yummy pumpkin soup. The troops at home are OK too. Partner is going to try my unused Glutamine for his sugar cravings - but he forgets to take the meds !!!

      Sorry about your neighbours LTLW and sorry about your 'flatness' Cinders. I get that like sometimes - but it was especially bad whenever I started my quits in the past. It did pass but I had to work at living with it and then finding way to get my joy back again. Often little things made a difference - not the biggies.
      I recall when I tried Naltrexone years ago that I was so flat that I didn't want to eat or move or do anything. That slipped into depression and then very black feelings - so thats one reason why I decided Nal was not for me - altho I gave it another go - but had a very bad reaction. Thank a million gods and godwits now that I am not in that space.

      Have a great weekend persons and enjoy Manchester Mick. I recall last time it was shopping :H
      Tomorrow is Mums day here and I have asked for no pressies (my kitchen is a big enough one) but would really like to go for a walk with daughter and spend a few hours together. I have located a new series of hiking tracks up some hills and through some forests and I think she and I would enjoy this

        Good morning Abbers!

        Awaiting the arrival of some sunshine after a night of thunder storms & lots of rain. I can just hear all that grass growing out there & demanding to be cut again :H
        I'm not touching that mulch pile outside Mick until it dries out a bit, yuck!

        I saw your pics PQ, nice! That raised bed for diasbled gardeners is awesome - never saw anything like that before

        LTLW, I visited Holland several yeras ago with my SIL. She has a sister living in Haarlem in an ancient canal house which was awesome. From there it was a quick train ride into Amsterdam. I was told the real estate is quite expensive, I can just imagine! Everything seemed pretty expensive to me. Take your time, don't make any rash moves that you'll regret later.

        TT, happy Mother's day to you! Hope you have a nice time with your family.

        Mick, have fun playing in the dirt today! You are way ahead of this gardener :H

        Wishing you a safe trip Det!

        Cindi, I chased away that flat feeling by getting myself interested in some new things like meditation & renewed my interest in gardening, house projects, etc

        Have a great AF day everyone!

          hey all - day 8 for me but first day back here in a long time. I am having a productive/lazy day - cats taken to vets for check up,eye infection,cleaned kitchen and I have my second load of laundry in.
          Off to garage to pump up car tyre in a bit and to vacuum inside of car - horribly messy in there!

          Sick of the hangovers,had starting smoking LOTS when drinking again,sick of messy disorganised house and low level anxiety/low mood/low energy. Also sick of the constant do I/don't I have a problem with alcohol - if I didn't I wouldn't have been on/off the MWO forum for the last 6 years and would have achieved successful moderation.

          LOVED waking up with no hangover today and a clear head. I am aiming for 30 days as my initial goal. I am aiming for permanent sobriety but I know that I have to break it down into doable baby steps.I need to lose 4 stone and am breaking that down into mini goals as well. When I don't drink I eat healthier,exercise more and don't have the extra booze calories mounting up.

          I recently turned 40 and it was a wake up call - I don't want another 24 years of binge drinking/anxiety/smoking/unhealthy living - I want to make the most of my life and be healthy.

              Morning all - Saturday morning here, and feeling just hunkdory....know that that will change as the day progresses and I start to rationalise great reasons to have a glass of wine.....
              I posted many moons ago about the change in the from drinking days where the morning STINKS, the afternoon gets better, the eveining is just fine and who remebers the nights - to not drinking days with a fabulous morning, ok afternoon, tough evening and a good night.....still makes the non drinking days work out better doesn't it....
              I love your signature LTLW - i need to remember my successes and not dwell on the failures - in Jan I drank one day, Feb 3, March 2, April 4 and May 2 - pretty dang amazing when I look at it like that!!
              OK, back to the errands....
              see you all later when the witching hours bug me

                  Mick....I get the "boss eyed" thing I think. Her point was that we each look in the mirror each day without ever looking ousrselves in the eyes. For me it may be brushing my teeth, putting on makeup.....but never really looking at myself.

                  Now I am just having fun with it.....I never really new how blue my eyes are until now. Really at 41....just now your realize that not only are your eyes blue.....but, they are really blue.

                  I always been complimented on them.....and I never bothered to look!
