George,

 GP> If at first you don't succeed. . .
 GP> . . . then skydiving may not be the right hobby for you. . . . then try
 GP> doing it the way your wife told you to in the first place. . . . hide
 GP> all evidence that you even tried.

  The meme I liked was where this guy is confronted by "The Grim Reaper"
on the street. He tells the poor soul "that fancy expensive item you had
ordered was delivered to your home while your wife was at work, and she
signed for it. Do you want to go home and face the music, or just come
with me now??". 

 GP> Actually, with inflation, it;s more like $119!

  Or as Jerry Reed's song "Lord, Mister Ford", noted...

  "Well, I figured it up, and over a period of time, this $4000 car of
mine cost $14,000 and 99 cents". 

 GP> There's a name fron 40 years ago! I remember him -- whatever happened
 GP> to him?

  I don't know...but he was originally from Russia, and he emigrated to the
US. He had a show in Branson, at his own theatre...and it was all G-rated
entertainment.

 GP> You ever have those people who say, "Here's a picture of me from when I
 GP> was younger?"

  Not that I can recall.

 GP> EVERY picture of you is from when you were younger! -- American
 GP> Philosopher G. Carlin(RIP)

  This is true. I've got a picture on my Facebook profile of our late
parents, my brother and myself. It was Christmas Day, 1962...my brother
had just turned 1, and I would turn 3 in March. I think my Mom and Dad
were only 37 at the time...they were born 40 days apart...Mom was the
older one...but she lived 12 1/2 years longer than my Dad.

 GP> I have a nice set of the Comedy Central Roasts -- they're my fave. A
 GP> new genre out now: Roast Battles.

 GP> There's the US, UK, & Canadian TV series.

  I'm sure there are several on YouTube. It reminds me of a deal known
as "The Curse Exchange".

 GP> That's how I first saw & fell in love with Sarah Tiana (southern girl
 GP> -- not all sugar & spice, but the most adorable little cheeks!)

  Never heard of her.

 GP> It's simple: in the olden daze, the nobility (corporate CEOs in today's
 GP> world) taxed the heck out of people's hard work, to ensure a constant
 GP> flow of their production into their own treasuries. Those who refused,
 GP> were executed as examples to the rest.

  I'm sorry I asked. :P

 GP> Now they want you to buy whatever crap they've dreamed up for the same
 GP> purpose, because now only the government can tax you (& it's slower
 GP> getting your money that way, for the modern nobility)

  Why does the saying "Don't lie, cheat, and steal!! The government hates 
competition!!" come to mind??

 GP> So they poison the foods & meds the poor people take (execution,
 GP> because they didn't produce enough to buy the better stuff)

  That's what they seem to be doing today with Covid-19...they're saying
the unvaccinated are dying, but from what I've seen, it's the other way 
around.

 GP> ALL the antidepressants covered by HMOs & socialist governments cause
 GP> the takers to visualize themselves committing suicide. (true story:
 GP> "suicidal ideation" usually not understood by those who even bother
 GP> reading the monographs)

  I am reminded from the deal on "The Fat Bible", where mankind basically
listened to Satan, and gorged himself with all the high fat and high
cholesterol foods. The last 3 lines went like this:

And, man went into cardiac arrest.

And, God created quadruple bypass surgery.

And, Satan created HMO's. 

 GP> Beer goggles = satirical reference to being drunk (she looks better
 GP> when youre  drunk = the goggles are working)

  First time I've ever heard the term.

 GP> "It's a photo of my wife," he answered, "I came in here to get drunk.
 GP> Soon as she starts looking good, I'm done."

  Wonder how long it took to get what he wanted.

 GP> Not me -- no market for naked pics of this big ol' old guy! (oh, right,
 GP> Rule 34, so maybe there is).

  Rule 1: The boss is always right.
  Rule 2: Whenever the boss is wrong, refer to Rule 1.

 GP> "Who is it?" one asked.
 GP>   "Blind guy."
 GP> "She opened the door, figuring what harm.
 GP>   "Wow! Looking good, sisters.  Where do you want these blinds?"

  I've heard a variation of that...I'll bet that man got an eyefull!! 

 GP> As I've heard -- pretty ignorant, if you ask me, for stores to be
 GP> operated in Spanish, when the nation is English(still the majority, by
 GP> an ever slimmer margin)

  I had Spanish in high school...but I don't know if I ever took it in
college. I can read it, but I can't speak it, as it were.

 GP> Nancy Kerrigan got the damaged knee, no? Thus Tanya took her out, via
 GP> the knee?

  Or it was Tonya's boyfriend who did the dirty deed?? Whatever happend to
all of them??

 GP> Nah, these were already well established in the '90s, when I first
 GP> stole that one from this echo! *LOL* & I'll steal it again. . . I
 GP> don't care! I'm a rebel!

  Non-conformist. 

 GP> I had 2 buttons:
 GP> "Kiss me, I'm Irish" &, for those who would question my heritage:
 GP> "Irish for a day"

  (rolling the R's) "Irish Irus in Dixie".
