Got this from Jimmy M.
A guy is 71 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up. '
He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard
the voice say a gain, 'Pick me up.'
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, 'Are you talking to me? 'The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully
and placed it in his front breast pocket.
Then the frog said, 'What, are you nuts?Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said;
'Nah. At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog.'
With age comes wisdom.
You've certainly done enough here to disprove that there is any link between age and wisdom.
ReplyDeleteCan't stop laughing.....;-)
ReplyDeleteTake care!
The above two comments show the difference between a Leftie and other folks perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you Claudia.
DA, is that you in my pocket??
hahahahaha
hahahahahah...
ReplyDeleteJim - My second laughter today... Thank you! ;-)
I dunno, I thought you lost your pocket when your investments when down this year :)
ReplyDeleteNope, I joined the Democrats and short sold the market. Plus, I sold the gold bathroom fixtures and replaced them with chrome in the palatial retirement compound.
ReplyDeletesigh.... The things one has to do to maintain their standards.
But the Hussein Recession does have me worried.
Now. Back in the pocket.

ReplyDeleteGood, because I thought you would be forced to live on rice and beans or something.
Of course, some of us were out of the market because we could see what's coming, my retirement accounts weren't touched at all by the economic downturn this year.
Not that I like to brag or anything like that, I've been told that's a bad habit to get into..............
But the Hussein Recession does have me worried.
I clearly remember the current downturn taking place before he was elected, and there is the historic fact that the most economic growth happens when there's a Democrat in the White House, not to be disrespecful or anything like that.
Damn. Are you out again?
ReplyDeleteYou confuse retirement accounts with investments designed to make or lose money. The former was always protected, I thought you know that,,,
The latter is off about 30%, not bad when the DJIA is off around 44%and I have been buying some that I think can weather the Hussein Recesion and be positioned to take advantage of the 2012 Palin Boom!
Jim,
ReplyDeleteI'm having the time of my life here. You're so funny!
But I think I prefer a squirrel on my balcony to a frog in my pocket...hahahahaha
Oh, I dunno.... Can you imagine pretending to be a ventriloquist?
ReplyDeleteNope...Never...No talent whatsoever...I would kill the show by laughing too much.
ReplyDeleteBut you're a master. Actually, if your money goes down too much because of Hussein's folishness, you could have a new career. Let me know where and when. I'll follow you....;-)

ReplyDeleteA lot of folks lost money on their 401kS and IRAs this year unless they had some sort of FDIC protection backing up their account. I didn't have my IRA in a mutual fund or security-based instrument, I learned from what happened to the folks who worked for Enron.
Now, if you meant "Social Security" for "retirement account", yes, that is true.
That is not what I meant, and I apologize if it caused any confusion on your part.
BTW,
I've never heard of an investment designed to lose money, perhaps that was your problem in the first place.
be positioned to take advantage of the 2012 Palin Boom!
Ah, now I understand.
Thanks
Fortunately for me, my retirememt accounts haven't lost money this year.
ReplyDeleteThere are, as you must not know, some rather secure investments. Social Security is secure, but I would hate to consider it an "investment." More like, "Give us your money and we will give part of it back."
I have been blessed with advisors who explained the difference between having enough protected money to let me live, more or less, in the same life style I did before retirement.
I take it you have never heard of bonds, T-Bills, annuities and such...
I have also been blessed with advisors who explained to me that when you invest to make money for other purposes, you must expect to win some and lose some. That let's you dump a loser and take a loss instead of riding it all the way down.
In poker we call such a person a "Goose."
Now, back in my pocket.
Claudia.... you're too kind! I'll have a Stoly in your name!
