  • The Harley-Davidson Facts

    This has got to be here somewhere already but anyways.....

    The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.

    At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'

    Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'

    St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

    God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? '

    Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

    God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'

    Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'

    God said, 'Ah, yes.'

    'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !

    1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension

    2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

    3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much

    4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

    5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

    'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

    God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.

    The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

    'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'.

        • put me in coach

          The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions... The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.

          Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.

          KABOOM!

          He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.

          KA-BLOOEY!

          Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.

          BULLS-EYE!

          "I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"

          So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl.

          The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.

          "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"

          "I don't want to talk to you, the old Muslim woman says."You are not my son!"

          "I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans."

          "No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn’t get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,....

          "I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit.

          • Kind of Private yet shocking message

            Kind of private, yet shocking message

            Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning

            First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's bad to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.

            Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.

            I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that my sister made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so beautiful that I watched it twice. Probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy stuff went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).

            Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.

            My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just drool all over her. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.

            After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.

            Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.

            My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was messed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.

            Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.

            A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.

            But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father.

                  • Cut and Pasted from another website. I make no claims as to the accuracy of the opening statement.

                    These are actual comments made on students report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny!)

                    1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

                    2. I would not allow this student to breed.

                    3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.

                    4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

                    5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

                    6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

                    7. This child has been working with glue too much.

                    8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

                    9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

                    10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

                    11. It is impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

                    12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

                      • Life without enemies

                        Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, ' How many of you have forgiven your enemies? ' 80% held up their hands. All responded, except one small elderly lady.
                        "Mrs. Neely? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
                        "I don't have any," She replied, smiling sweetly.
                        "Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
                        "Ninety-eight," she replied.
                        The congregation stood up and clapped their hands.
                        "Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"
                        The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said, "I outlived the bitches."



                        You Know you've Been Married to Long When....

                        Four guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the group is to leave, Frank’s wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn’t going. Frank’s friends are very upset that he can’t go, but what can they do? Two days later, the three get to the camping site, only to find Frank sittin’ there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cookin’ on the fire. “Damn man! How long have you been here? And how did you talk your wife into letting you go?”
                        “Well, I’ve been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening I was sittin’ in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?' I pulled her hands off and she was wearing a brand new see through nightie. She took my hand, and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals all over. On the bed she had handcuffs and ropes. She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed and I did. And then she said, 'Do whatever you want.' So here I am."

                            The body builder tells her, 'That's 100 lbs. of dynamite, Baby.'

                            He then removes his underwear and the blonde goes running out of the apartment screaming in fear.
                            The body builder puts his clothes back on and chases after her. He catches up to her and asks why she ran out of the apartment like that.

                            The blonde replies, 'I was afraid to be around all that dynamite after I saw how short the fuse was!'

                              Too much Coffee
                              You know you're drinking too much coffee when...

                              You answer the door before people knock.
                              Juan Valdez named his donkey after you.
                              You ski uphill.
                              You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
                              You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse.
                              You lick your coffeepot clean.
                              You're the employee of the month at the local coffeehouse and you don't even work there.
                              Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
                              You chew on other people's fingernails.
                              Your T-shirt says, "Decaffeinated coffee is the devil's blend."
                              You can type sixty words per minute... with your feet.

                              • Buying a horse

                                Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs, rump, and chest.

                                After a few minutes, Johnny asked, "Dad, why are you doing that?"

                                His father replied, "Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.

                                Johnny, looking worried, said, "Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom."
