Southern cops have a way with words!

South Carolina Highway Patrol Stickers, Decals & Bumper Stickers

These are actual comments made by South Carolina Troopers that were taken off their car videos: 
 
1. “You know, stop lights don’t come any redder than the one you just went through.” 
2. “Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch after you wear them a while.” 
3. “If you take your hands off the car, I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.” 
4. “If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.” 
5. “Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that’s the speed of the bullet that’ll be chasing you.”
6. “You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?” 
7. “Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I’m the shift supervisor?” 
8. “Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.” 
9. “The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?” 
10. “Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop.” 
11. “Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets an air fryer.” 
12. “In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC.” (National Crime Information Center) 
13. “Just how big were those ‘two beers’ you say you had?” 
14. “No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we can.” 
15. “I’m glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.” 
 
AND THE WINNER IS…. 
 
16. “You didn’t think we give pretty women tickets? You’re right, we don’t. Sign here.”

Don’t Mess With Older Women…..

SHE WALKED UP AND TIED HER OLD MULE TO THE HITCHING POST. AS SHE STOOD THERE, BRUSHING SOME OF THE DUST FROM HER FACE AND CLOTHES, A YOUNG GUNSLINGER STEPPED OUT OF THE SALOON. HE HAD  A GUN IN ONE HAND AND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY IN THE OTHER. THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER LOOKED AT THE OLD WOMAN AND LAUGHED, “HEY OLD WOMAN, HAVE YOU EVER DANCED?”

THE OLD WOMAN LOOKED UP AT THE GUNSLINGER AND SAID, “NO, I NEVER DID DANCE. NEVER REALLY WANTED TO.” A CROWD HAD GATHERED AS THE GUNSLINGER GRINNED AND SAID, “WELL, YOU OLD BAG, YOU’RE GONNA DANCE NOW,” AND STARTED SHOOTING AT THE OLD WOMAN’S FEET. THE OLD WOMAN PROSPECTOR – NOT WANTING TO GET HER TOE BLOWN OFF – STARTED HOPPING AROUND.

EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHING. WHEN HIS LAST BULLET HAD BEEN FIRED, THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER, STILL LAUGHING, HOLSTERED HIS GUN AND TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK INTO THE SALOON. THE OLD WOMAN TURNED TO HER PACK MULE, PULLED OUT A DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN, AND COCKED BOTH HAMMERS. THE LOUD CLICKS CARRIED CLEARLY THROUGH THE DESERT AIR. THE CROWD STOPPED LAUGHING IMMEDIATELY.

THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER HEARD THE SOUNDS, TOO, AND HE TURNED AROUND VERY SLOWLY. THE SILENCE WAS ALMOST DEAFENING. THE CROWD WATCHED AS THE YOUNG GUNMAN STARED AT THE OLD WOMAN AND THE LARGE GAPING HOLES OF THOSE TWIN BARRELS. THE BARRELS OF THE SHOTGUN NEVER WAVERED IN THE OLD WOMAN’S HANDS AS SHE QUIETLY SAID “SON, HAVE YOU EVER KISSED A MULE’S ASS?

THE GUNSLINGER SWALLOWED HARD AND SAID, “NO MA’AM. BUT, I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO.”

THERE ARE A FEW LESSONS HERE FOR ALL OF US:
 Never be arrogant.
 Don’t waste ammunition.
 Whiskey makes you think you’re smarter than you are.
 Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
 Don’t mess with old women –  they didn’t get old by being stupid.

I JUST LOVE A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING, DON’T YOU?

A Bunch of Bull….

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd, but he just ate grass and wouldn’t even look at a cow.

I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth. Anyhow, I had the Vet come and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.

The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor’s cows!

He’s like a machine! I don’t know what was in the pills the Vet gave him . . . . but they kind of taste like peppermint.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

LDN 1622: Dark Nebula in Orion
Image Credit & Copyright: Chris Fellows

Explanation: The silhouette of an intriguing dark nebula inhabits this cosmic scene. Lynds’ Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 appears against a faint background of glowing hydrogen gas only visible in long telescopic exposures of the region. In contrast, a brighter reflection nebula, vdB 62, is more easily seen just above the dusty dark nebula. LDN 1622 lies near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, close on the sky to Barnard’s Loop, a large cloud surrounding the rich complex of emission nebulae found in the Belt and Sword of Orion. With swept-back outlines, the obscuring dust of LDN 1622 is thought to lie at a similar distance, perhaps 1,500 light-years away. At that distance, this 3 degree wide field of view would span about 100 light-years. Young stars do lie hidden within the dark expanse and have been revealed in Spitzer Space telescope infrared images. Still, the foreboding visual appearance of LDN 1622 inspires its popular name, the Boogeyman Nebula.

Bible Verse
