Miss Kitty’s Store in Tombstone
Along the streets of Tombstone, Arizona is Miss Kitty’s store which helps keep all the women dressed in Tombstone fashion.
Oldest Profession in the West
Where there was money to be had in the old west there were prostitutes. Prostitutes would actually have license to be able to work in the city and believe it or not there are actually different classifications of prostitutes. Many worked in saloons, parlor houses, or brothels, but lower grade ones worked in cribs and the lowest class prostitutes were street walkers. Here are some photos of some pioneering prostitutes and also some of the working girls of the 1880’s.
Here is an example of the glamorous room of a prostitute of Tombstone.
You can see how wore down these stairs are from the Bird Cage Saloon and imagine how much business these working girls got.

Tombstone, Arizona was the site of one of the most famous gunfights in American history between Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, Doc Holliday, Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, Ike Clanton, and 19 year old Billy Clanton. There was tensions that arose between the cowboys and the Earp’s leading up to the shootout. The cowboys were democrats and the Earp’s were republicans and they were both trying to control how Tombstone’s resources were distributed. The gunfight left Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, and Billy Clanton dead and Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, and Doc Holliday injured, however Wyatt Earp was unharmed.

Pure Bred Idiot Hot Sauce Roulette
Dateland, Arizona is nothing more than a fly spec on a map along Interstate-8, but while making a pit stop and looking around I happened to notice this funny product. It is the Pure Bred Idiot Hot Sauce Roulette. I think it must take a special type of individual who enjoys pain while eating or perhaps friends making a daring game out of trying new hot sauces. Whatever the reason for purchasing this product I think something funny is almost guaranteed to happen.
Memorial Day 2019
Memorial Day is a time to reflect and remember those who are no longer with us, but are not forgotten. This year I went to Tombstone, Arizona to see a bit of American history that is being preserved at Tombstone. One of the most famous gun battles of the old west was the shootout at the O.K. Corral between the Earp’s and the McLaury’s that occurred on the morning of October 26th, 1881. This gun battle left cowboys Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, and 19 year old Billy Clanton dead where Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, and Doc Holliday were only injured. Shown in the image is the final resting places of the McLaury’s and Billy Clanton.

Ice Cream Parlor
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool… After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, ‘Crushed nuts?’
‘No,’ he replied, ‘Arthritis.’
Follow the Doctor’s Advice
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, ‘You’re really doing great, aren’t you?’
Morris replied, ‘Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.”
The doctor said, ‘I didn’t say that.. I said, ‘You’ve got a heart murmur; be careful.’
Midwest Crop Circles
While flying over the midwestern United States I happened to look down and see what looked like farm circles. Previously the only place I have seen things like these was in desert areas. This was due to having water sprayers that traveled in a circle pattern around and kept watering the crops. I am a little curious as to why these patterns are in the midwest.
State of the Art Hearing Aid
A man was telling his neighbor, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.”
“Really,” answered the neighbor. “What kind is it?” “Twelve thirty.”
Pirate Ship in San Diego
At the San Diego Maritime Museum you will find an old style ship that looks much like a pirate ship. This was used in the “Pirate’s of the Caribbean” films and is certainly something to check out. For their time these were considered to be great vessels, but you can see it dwarfed by a present day cruise ship.

“Nope!”
“This woman, is she good looking?”
“Not really.”
“Is she a good cook?”
“Nah, she can’t cook too well.”
“Does she have lots of money?”
“Nope! Poor as a church mouse.”
“Well, then, is she good in bed?”
“I don’t know.”
’Why in the world do you want to marry her then?’
“Because she can still drive!”
San Diego Fishing Pots
For a while now I have passed by the San Diego waterfront and I saw these fishing pots out on the dock. I kept thinking to myself that it would make a great photograph, however it wasn’t until now that I finally got around to stopping and taking a photo. It kind of reminds me of San Diego’s version of the television show “The Deadliest Catch” how they will get shots of the crab pots on the shores of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
Kangaroo Porn
Don’t you hate it when you are at the zoo and animals start humping? I don’t know what kind of freaky stuff kangaroos are into, but these kangaroos are going at it with a lookie-loo watching.
Hospital Regulations
| Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. ‘I don’t know,’ he said. ‘She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.’ |
Cruise Ships in the Port of San Diego

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, ‘Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great I would recommend it very highly.’
The other man said, ‘What is the name of the restaurant?’
The first man thought and thought and finally said, ‘What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that’s red and has thorns.’
‘Do you mean a rose?’
‘Yes, that’s the one,’ replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, ‘Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?’
Japanese Novelty Store
Whenever I go shopping for Asian food I like to stop by a Japanese novelty store to see what new items they have are. Some of them are pretty neat. These were the latest items I saw.
Write it Down
Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they’re physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember…Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair “Want anything while I’m in the kitchen?” he asks.
“Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?”
“Sure.”
“Don’t you think you should write it down so you can remember it?” she asks.
“No, I can remember it.”
“Well, I’d like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?”
He says, “I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.”
“I’d also like whipped cream. I’m certain you’ll forget that, write it down?” she asks.
Irritated, he says, “I don’t need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream – I got it, for goodness sake!”
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment and says “Where’s my toast?”
