Yet another Lawyer Joke

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Sheriffs Deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the Deputy because he is sure that he has a better education. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputies expense...

Deputy says, "License and registration, please."

Lawyer says, "What for?"

Deputy says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign ."

Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."

Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop,that's the law.>License and registration, please!"

Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slowdown and stop, I'll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket, if not you let me go and no ticket."

Deputy says, "Exit your vehicle, sir."

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says: "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

Phil=Freepcreep

Below is part of my email thread with Phil, or shall I say "Freepcreep". I finally found out who Freepcreep, my online stalker, was because of his little mistake, however strange it may be. That's cool. Phil always had a weird sense of humor. He's still a good friend. Thanks again for the bike jersey, Phil. Let's go biking sometime.



Very strange... Oh, now I get it. There is some dude in my apartment complex whodoes a lot of biking. He's the one who sent it to you. He says the jersey isbrand new and never been worn.Phil

Sarah Passes her Board Exams

Congratulations to Sarah for passing her pharmacy board exams. She passed the NAPLEX and CPJE. Now, she is a full fledged pharmacist. I'm pretty stoked.

South Korean man dies after 50 hours of videogames

This is a total tragedy. Don't worry it's not about me. Even I don't play for that long straight. Maybe I would do it for one whole day. This guy actually quit his job to devote his time to playing games. Now, that's dedication.

Another Joke

A woman walks into a hillbilly bar. She eats some food, but gets something caught in her throat. She starts panicking and turns blue. One hillbilly asks her if she is okay and she shakes her head "no". The hillbilly then pulls down her skirt and panties and starts licking her butt. The woman was so startled she coughs up the food that was caught in her throat and starts to breathe again. The hillbilly walks back to the bar. Another hillbilly says, "Wow! I've heard of it being done, but I've never actually seen anyone do the hindlick maneuver before."

The Chevy SSR. I guess this hotrod truck would be more practical than a Miata, but you can't really carry that much or tow much. I have more pictures on my Yahoo Photo Album. Let me know if you want to see more. I'll give you the link. You can also find the link to my Photo Album through my past blogs. 

This Vette seems to be a good fit for me. If only the freeways were like the autobahn... 

The 400 hundred horse power Cadillac CTS-V. Now, this ain't your daddy's Cadillac.  

So many different colors to choose from. I don't think that I should get a Vette though, because I'm sure I'll probably be sent to jail. You know that I always have to test out the maximum speed on the roads. I'll probably just get a minivan for my next car to drive around my future mini-me's and mini-Sarah's. The thought of having kids scares me though, because I'm so tired from working right now. I can't imagine how much more tired I'll be once we have kids. 

Here's a Saturn spyder they're planning on launching soon. This is a good image car for Saturn, because Saturn doesn't have any hot cars yet. 

Sarah also drove some hot cars. Unfortunately, she failed to seize upon the opportunity to drive like a maniac. She just drove the speed limit instead. Boring. 

I wish I had pictures and videos to show you guys of my crazy awesome driving skills. You all know I'm the best driver, right? 

Here are some pictures from GM's Auto Show In Motion. Sarah and I got to drive a bunch of different cars, but we didn't take pictures of the cars that we drove. It was like a race course there so we felt too pressured to get in and drive. Plus, it was too dangerous too take pictures on the course. People were driving way too fast there. I got to drive the Corvette, Cadillac CTS-V, Chevy SSR, and the Pontiac GTO. Those cars all had 400 horses. I also enjoyed driving the Hummer H2 on the offroad course. I also liked the BMW 530i, Audi A4, and the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Car. I plan on going there again real soon. 

Here's Sarah and I riding this 2005 Z06 Corvette. We went to GM's Autoshow in Motion on Sunday, July 31, 2005. I got to drive this 400 horsepower monster and smoked the tires. It was awesome. We got to drive a bunch of other cars too. We had a blast.  

You're wonderful!
