The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumoured to have a wonderful cure for erectile disfunction.<br />After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for. The old man slowly and methodically produced a potion, handed it to his 'patient', and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say 1-2-3. When you do that, you will become manlier than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want." As the medicine man walked away, the husband turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say 1-2-3-4, he responded. "But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon." The man was eager to see if it worked. He went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, "1 -2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"...<br />And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-43280781555332489952012-06-04T20:29:12.906-05:002012-06-04T20:29:12.906-05:00I need to correct my pissed offedness.

The 8- and 9-letter Down entries in each corner section. Nice work, Jeff. Fwiw, if I were new to constructing and didn't know the ropes and someone who put out a quality puzzle like today's was offering tutelage, I'd be all over that.<br /><br />Kazie, your pictures were amazing. You have a great eye.<br /><br />Barry G., I love seeing Alan Rickman as the bad guy, most notably as the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Smart Bad Guy Leader in “Die Hard”. I think he was perfectly cast in the Harry Potter movies. He was also a great bad guy in a little-known, very profound arthouse movie called “Closetland” with Madeleine Stowe.<br /><br />Saw “Midnight in Paris” over the weekend. Woody Allen examines <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-honig/golden-age-thinking_b_1178176.html" rel="nofollow">“Golden Age“ thinking</a>, and it’s a pretty cool love story, too. Notable also is that the fantasy element of the film is never logistically explained; sometimes that can be irritating or unsatisfying, but he pulls it off well, here.<br /><br />Jerome, enjoyed your post. "Omaha" took me a minute. What is your source?<br /><br />Loved the "paramour" story today, and also the "vase sect" story from the other day.

I just finished watching the last installment of Harry Potter. I thought it was overlong and as a result, a bit tedious in parts. That's probably why I didn't go see it in the theater when it first came out. Still, it was ultimately satisfying with the bad guy getting his just deserts. <br /><br />I need some influence from eddyB. I discovered the third game of the Stanley Cup isn't been televised locally on any of the 600 channels I get. The first two games were televised but this one has been shuttled to some obscure cable channel that I don't get. That's enough to piss me off.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-86946985794722414062012-06-04T18:23:14.497-05:002012-06-04T18:23:14.497-05:00I updated the triple play video to a version that ...I updated the triple play video to a version that explains what happened.Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472446316589207365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-6711054473697883592012-06-04T18:20:53.244-05:002012-06-04T18:20:53.244-05:00HG: Your superintendent reminds me of one hormone ...HG: Your superintendent reminds me of one hormone charged spring when I was at the newspaper.

This woman’s life is irreparably harmed just like male and female teachers who seek relationships that are inappropriate and even illegal. A former principal of mine got caught in affair<b>s</b> with a former student and a former faculty member. He has become persona non grata as a result to a lot of former colleagues.

Thanks Jeff and Argyle.<br /><br />I couldn't think of Lou Gehrig for some reason,got it with the perps. I remember, so well, in the movie of his life, when Jimmy Stewart quoted his famous words "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." It was after he had been diagnosed with his disease in his farewell address.<br /><br />59A-Impale. What came to my mind is what happened last week about 70 miles east of us. A seven year old girl was walking with family and friends when an arrow hit her in the back, into her lungs and and other vital organs. They think it was a teen age boy who was careless while shooting arrows. She is in a Milwaukee hospital.<br /><br />I guess that's all for now. Have a good evening,all.<br />MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781756196891709805noreply@blogger.com
