Here is another one of those blonde Alan jokes. I would
duck if I was you Alan before the women around here go quackers! Oh look Alan. I slipped in a duck
joke. A blonde and a guy were out on a date and they ended up at "Lovers'
Cove"
where they were making out.
The guy thought that things were going
pretty good and maybe he would get
lucky tonight, so he thought that he
would ask her if she wanted to go in
the back seat.
"NO," yelled the
blonde!
The guy just figured that she wasn't ready yet. Things got pretty
hot and
the guy thought he would try again.
"NO," the blonde yelled
again!
Things got even hotter and the blond was down to her bra and the
guy even
had her pants unzipped.
"Do you wanna go in the back seat
yet," asked the guy?
"For the last time, NO, said the blonde! Frustrated,
the guy asked, "Well,
why the hell not?"
The blonde looked at him and
said: "Because I wanna stay up here with you."

Of
course! Boom Boom!

. By the way Don’t forget to
visit Shammy tomorrow night in the Café Comedy Lounge at midnight for open mic
night! We don’t want him getting lonely in that room all by himself because he

****Service Animals Protected:
Service
animals in New
Jersey now protected, 'Dusty's Law' signed.
Posted
by: Jerry DeMarco January 21, 2014

The
state measure born in Woodcliff Lake known as "Dusty's Law" is, in fact,
a
law now after being signed by Governor Christie today.
It establishes
criminal penalties for killing, maiming or interfering with a
service
dog.
Before today, police couldn't investigate such instances as
criminal acts
but, instead, must refer them to animal control agencies who
sometimes
cannot respond immediately on nights or weekends. The law was
crucial,
proponents said, because of the imminent danger to a blind person
whose dog
is incapacitated or killed.
Dusty's Law makes it a criminal
matter requiring police response. It governs
any animal that attacks,
injures or interferes with any kind of service dog,
including during
training.
That includes attacks on any dog, horse or other animal owned
or used by a
law enforcement agency, including search-and-rescue
dogs.
It's named for Dusty, a German Shepherd puppy being trained as a
guide dog
who was mauled by a pit bull in Woodcliff Lake, requiring nearly 100
stitches,
in July 2010.
Dusty, who was nine months old at the time, lost four teeth
and suffered
emotional trauma that kept him from continuing his work with
The Seeing Eye
program.
"Seeing eye dogs are especially vulnerable to
injury during an attack
because they've been bred and trained to be
non-aggressive," Jim Kutsch,
president and CEO of The Seeing Eye, the
world's oldest guide-dog school.
They also "are unlikely to leave their
masters' sides, even to save
themselves," he said.
Dusty's trainer,
Roger Woodhour of Woodcliff Lake, who has volunteered with
The
Seeing Eye for more than 20 years, noted that nearly half of all guide
dogs
are attacked at some time by other animals, ordinarily within a
half-hour
walk from home.
The Seeing Eye published a survey that found that 44% of
744 guide dog users
had experienced at least one attack by another animal.
More than 80% said
they'd had some kind of interference by another
animal.
Allowing an animal to kill a guide dog would be punishable by up
to 18
months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000, or both, under the
law.
Allowing an animal to injure or interfere with a guide dog would be
a
disorderly persons offense, with the potential for a six-month prison
sentence.
The measure also requires restitution if a guide dog is
killed or injured -
including the dog's value, the nearly $60,000 it costs
to train a
replacement dog, veterinary bills, and lost income.
.GUEST
COLUMN (Morristown Green): State laws protecting the rights of guide
dogs
and handlers vary, but few provide real protection, compensation, and
lawful
response. Dusty's Law would offer round-the-clock police protection
for
New Jersey's
guide dog teams who need immediate assistance.

*****Fighting Retiree Bordem:
Fighting
Retiree boredom
For all my retired friends.
A few days ago my best
friend from high school sent me a "Vietnam Veteran"
cap. I never had one of
these before, and I was pretty hyped about it,
especially because my friend
was considerate enough to take the time to send
it to me.
Yesterday,
I wore it when I went to Wal-Mart. There was nothing in
particular that I
needed at the world's largest retailer; but, since I
retired, trips to Wally
World to look at the Walmartians is always good for
some comic relief.
Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of
the people that
frequent the establishment. But, I digress... enough of my
psychological
fixations.
While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me,
probably in his
early thirties, asked, "Are you a Vietnam Vet?"
"No,"
I replied.
"Then why are you wearing that cap?"
"Because I couldn't find
the one from the War of 1812." I thought it was a
snappy retort.
"The War
of 1812, huh?" the Walmartian queried, "When was that?"
forgive me, but I
couldn't pass up such an opportunity.
"1936," I answered as straight-faced as
possible.
He pondered my response for a moment and responded, "Why do they
call it the
War of 1812 if it was in 1936?"
"It was a Black Op. No one is
supposed to know about it." This was beginning
to be way fun!
"Dude!
Really?" he exclaimed. "How did you get to do something that COOL?"
I glanced
furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low
voice
said, "I'm not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission."
"Dude," he was
really getting excited about what he was hearing, "that is
seriously
awesome! But, didn't you kind of stand out?"
"Not really. The other guys were
wearing white camouflage."
The moron nodded knowingly.
"Listen man," I
said in a very serious tone, "You can't tell anyone about
this. It's still
'top secret' and I shouldn't have said anything."
"Oh yeah?" he gave me the
'don't threaten me look.' "Like, what's gonna
happen if I do?"
With a
really hard look I said, "You have a family don't you? We wouldn't
want
anything to happen to them, would we?"
The guy gulped, left his basket where
it was and fled through the door. By
this time the lady behind me was about
to have a heart attack she was
laughing so hard. I just grinned at
her.
After checking out and going to the parking lot I saw Dimwit leaning in
a
car window talking to a young woman. Upon catching sight of me he started
pointing excitedly in my direction. Giving him another 'deadly' serious
look, I made the 'I see you gesture. He turned kind of pale, jumped in the
car and sped out of the parking lot.
What a great time! Tomorrow I'm
going back with my Homeland Security cap.
Then the next day I will go to the
license agency and wear my Border Patrol
hat,and see how long it takes to
empty the place.
Whoever said retirement is boring just needs the right kind
of cap!
