Not-so-Jolly Roger

A soldier meets a pirate in a bar, and the talk turns to their adventures. The soldier notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch.

“How did you end up with a peg leg?” he asks.

The pirate replies, “I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. As my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.”

“Wow!” says the soldier. “What about your hook?”

“Well,” answers the pirate, “we were boarding a ship when one of the enemy hacked off my hand.”

“Incredible. How’d you get the eye patch?”

“A grapefruit squirted in my eye,” the pirate replies.

“You lost your eye to grapefruit juice?”

“Well,” says the pirate, “it was my first day with the new hook.”

I personally love stupid criminal tricks and these videos made me laugh out loud

The crook in this video has a great plan: Get his buddy to look out while he gets some big rocks and breaks a window. Unfortunately, the window doesn’t budge and both of the two guys end up out cold.

As I understand the argument for global warming we are creating too many greenhouse gases. We are creating too much CO2. Now stop me if I am wrong, but plants absorb CO2 and release Oxygen. So the more plants we have and the larger the plants we have the more CO2 that would get absorbed.

I am also told that riding in my car or running other things that run with an internal combustion engine (like say a gas powered lawn mower) will create more greenhouse gases. And as far as that is concerned I believe that when I get exercise I also will generate more CO2 than when I am at rest.

So dear, it is not that I am too lazy to mow the lawn. I am just trying to prevent global warming.
