Just some humor to brighten your day.........

Why women shouldn't take men shopping


After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to
Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women-she loved to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.

Dear Mrs. Johnson,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr.Samsel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2 : Set all the alarm clocks in housewares to go off at 5-minute i ntervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

The Return of ....................................

FRANKENFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The cast is off as of last Thursday February 5th and the break is finally healed. I truly believe that God did this as on Saturday January 31st, we had the opportunity to go up for prayer. Our dear friends Bob and Francine Warriner, prayed for me while I was still in my seat (could not walk up and stand)
My cast started causing blisters, so we were off to the doctor who took the cast and yes there were blisters forming, but the break was healed - thank you God!!!
I have to wear FRANKENFOOT until my leg gets stronger. My left leg is 1 inch thinner than my right, not the way I reccommend doing this.

But the cast otherwise known as The Bride of Frankenfoot, got to go to Disneyland and was autographed by the characters, check it out.







Then to make matters worse, of course it was pouring down rain in Disneyland. So how do you keep a cast dry? Wear a garbage bag of course.


At the end of the day, tired feet rest and here is a look at the cast. Oh by the way, I was able to keep the cast. Now what to do with this thing that I absolutely hated. Casts suck, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Maybe adding some bling or some stickles will make it more my style. Too bad I can't Zutter it.
