Backup News

Hi Folks,

I have decided to stop posting here until the need arises. Blogger.com is working fine lately and the need to post on both sites in not necessary. I will keep the  site in case the need to use it becomes necessary.

First Christmas Joke of the Season

First Christmas joke of the season.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at
the pearly gates. “In honor of this holy season,” Saint Peter said,
“you must  each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into
heaven.”

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a
 lighter.
He flicked it on. It represents a candle, he said. You may pass
through  the pearly gates Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of
keys. He shook them and said, “They’re bells.” Saint Peter said
you may  pass through the pearly gates.

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets
 and finally pulled out a pair of women’s panties. St. Peter looked
at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, “And just what do those symbolize?”

The man replied, “These are Carols.”

And so the holiday season begins….

Canadian Scenes – Lake Louise

Ontario is the Glue

My nation Alberta…

Two boys are playing hockey on a frozen pond in Lethbridge, Alberta,
when one of the boys is suddenly attacked by a crazed Rottweiler. Thinking
 quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves it under the
dog’s collar, twists it, and breaks the dog’s neck, saving his friend.

 A reporter is strolling by, sees the incident, and rushes over to
 interview the boy. “Young Flames Fan Saves Friend From Vicious
Animal” he starts writing in his notebook.

 ”But I’m not a Flames Fan,” the little hero replies.

 ”Sorry — I just assumed you were” says the reporter and he starts
writing again. “Oilers Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack.”

 ”I’m not an Oilers fan either,” the little boy says.

 ”Oh, I assumed that everyone in Alberta was either for the Flames or
the Oilers. What team do you root for?” the reporter asks.

 ”I am a Maple Leafs fan,” the boy replies.

 The reporter starts a new page in his notebook and writes: “Little
Bastard from Ontario Kills Beloved Family Pet.”
