I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked,"If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?" I asked.
"No, I don't waste time fishing," the homeless man said.."I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on hunting equipment?" I asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't gone hunting in 20 years!"
"Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?
I replied, "Don't worry about that. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking, fishing and hunting."

Just ordered 2 tires for the Fuglybike. I was hoping to get 18,000 miles outta the rear tire before I changed it.....which is what I got out of the original tires....but it doesn't look like it's gonna make it.
There's 15,000 on them now but, can't see another 3000 on the rear.
I've got a 2nd set of wheels so I'll get these new tires all mounted up and ready to go. That way I can change'em out as soon as I'm ready.
......just in case anyone GAS!!!!

I like to refer to TOAK'ing as multitasking.

With all your "extra" time during the day....maybe you should get a side job. Like cutting &^%$%^& gr*ss...or delivering newspapers....or dog walking....or shoveling sn*w. And don't forget to pay taxes on the extra money.
