In the Crapper

That is where our economy is and where it seems to want to stay for awhile. No, I’m not shifting gears to political humor. I just thought I’d throw that lead in to give another outhouse joke some contemporary relevance. We all know outhouses are a vanishing part of Americana and no longer relevant...

Outhouse blues

I have to fess up. I’m old enough to remember when outdoor crappers, also known as outhouses, were still almost as common in the rural south as indoor plumbing. I had firsthand experience with more of these “convenience facilities” than I care to remember, and yes, I remember a time when we lived in... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s amazing!

We live in amazing, if somewhat unsettled, times. People take for granted marvels of technology and electronics that were undreamt of outside the pages of science fiction when I was a youngster. As fabulous as all these new wonders are, I still find myself fascinated with much that is now... Sign in to see full entry.

Off-color

The off-color purplish pink screen of agony is still with me. Nothing I’ve tried has worked to remedy the problem, so I’ve had to learn to deal with it just like the country preacher had to learn to deal with the often off-color expressions and stories from much of his male congregation. Thinking... Sign in to see full entry.

The Purplish Pink Screen of Agony

You’ve probably heard of the dreaded “Blue Screen Blue Screen of Death.” Well this maddening affliction is potentially almost as bad. Since mid-morning everything I type, instead of appearing as black on white text, has this horrible purplish pink background. I’ve tried about 648 different things to... Sign in to see full entry.

Got your Halloween costume ready?

I do. It’s really pretty simple for a naked blogger. If I get a late invite to a Halloween party, I go as I am – the Naked Blogger for real. Well, that’s not quite true. I’m actually pretty much bundled up in layers of clothes right now. It got down into the twenties last night and early this... Sign in to see full entry.

Not in your Sunday School lesson book

Not in your Sunday School lesson book It has always disturbed me that organized religions always picture God as a stern, all-knowing father figure. I can buy the all-knowing part, but I’ve also always pictured God as having an enormous sense of humor. How else can you explain all of mankind’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Sex Ed

I often marvel at how different things are today from when I was coming of age. There were no sex education classes, no handouts of free condoms, and damned little opportunity to learn about the birds and bees. Most of what we learned about the opposite sex, along with reproduction and birth... Sign in to see full entry.

Religion is a hot button topic

Over the years I’ve learned to carefully choose people I discuss religion with. Far too many people get quite riled up when you express thoughts and opinions that vary from what they argue is the only correct and rational faith. Perhaps I tend to be a little more tolerant, and somewhat unorthodox in... Sign in to see full entry.

Measuring up

I believe it has been mentioned in passing that the Ex was fond of raunchy jokes. She also enjoyed the routines of bawdy comediennes, sexy gag gifts and novelty toys, steamy stories and, near the end of our marriage, porno movies. Among her favorite gag gifts was an item she had learned to knit or... Sign in to see full entry.

Tough old broads

In addition to a fondness for little old lady jokes, I have a soft spot in my heart for stories about tough old broads. A great many of the anecdotes about tough old broads tend to be rude and crude. I suppose you could say that about the following story as well, but I just couldn’t resist telling... Sign in to see full entry.

Older guys like to score, too.

I suppose there are so many stories about man-craving little old ladies out there for the simple reason that the fairer sex tends to outlive the male of the species. But this is not always the case. There are more than a few rakish older fellows out there who are still joyously on the make. Like the... Sign in to see full entry.

Love those little old ladies

It seems that gapcohen and I share a fondness for little old lady jokes. Clean or risque, they always seem to pack a little extra punch despite, or perhaps because of, the age of the subjects and the incongruity of the situations. Following is one of my personal favorites: Two widowed little old... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, ladychardonnay and sam444,

the naked blogger does indeed blog naked. Thank you for asking. Naked blogging is a habit developed after a deteriorating electrical system caused a loss of power to the front end of the mobile home I fondly call the sweatbox during the warmer months. Unfortunately for me, that was also the only... Sign in to see full entry.

Man-hunters

I continued to wear my wedding band for several years after the Ex departed the scene. My reason was twofold. In the back of my mind was the faint hope that she might return and we could reignite the spark that drew us together in the first place. At the same time I was feeling so snakebitten that...

Getting screwed

Small town American life moves at a different pace from the rest of the country. For one thing there is little crime. This is a combination of both a lack of opportunity and the simple fact that almost everyone knows just about everyone else and what they are up to at any given time. The chances of...

Combating Inflation

Inflation has reared its ugly head again. It’s not just gas prices. Food, entertainment, travel, and almost everything else seems to be escalating in price while incomes remain stagnant for most of us. Inflation is particularly devastating for the elderly, a group I hope to belong to, once I... Sign in to see full entry.

The spirit is willing, but...

You often hear the expression, “you’re only as old as you feel.” Some old-timers carry on vigorous, adventure-filled lives long past traditional retirement ages. I hope to be one of that number in spite of frequent reminders of advancing age from my two oldest grandchildren. To them I’m ancient. In... Sign in to see full entry.

Anniversary Jokes

You can find a joke for almost any occasion on the Internet these days. Most of them are old as the hills, and some of them are even funny. Old and funny is just fine with me. Old jokes are like old friends or a fine old wine. With proper care and handling they get better with age. Normally I tinker... Sign in to see full entry.

The gentler sex is a misonomer.

Not only that, she kept coming home with new risque jokes she insisted one of the girls at work had told. It made me believe I'd grown up with several misconceptions about the mindset of...
