A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Hunting Flies” he responded.
“Oh. Killing any?” she asked.
“Yep, 3 males, 2 Females,” he replied.
Intrigued, she asked; “How can you tell them apart?”
He responded, “3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone.”
An elderly gent was invited to an old friends’ home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The couple had been married almost 60 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host, “I think it’s wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names.”
The old man hung his head. “I have to tell you the truth, “he said, “Her name slipped my mind about ten years ago and I’m scared to death to ask her what it is.”
This year for BayFest 2008 some of the bands playing are 3 Doors Down, Live, Everclear, and some country singer. It’s not everyday that a southern rock band comes to Hawaii so it’s a great chance to go check out some real music, as opposed to this local style music, and rock things out a little bit. In the past BayFest has had some pretty good bands like, Staind, Lynard Skynard, and others.
3 Doors down sparked my interest, so I went and checked them out today. I took some photos and short videos. My photos didn’t turn out very clear, but the video turned out ok. 3 Doors Down played some old, familiar, and some new songs off their new album. It was cool to get out and check the band out, but one thing that surprised me is that the lead singer and one guitarist were the only two people who actually moved around the stage. The other guys kind of just stood back and played the music. I thought that was kind of disappointing because I was expecting this band to be more lively and exciting. It was a pretty cool concert and finished off with some cool fireworks, so there are definitely no complaints here.

In Hawaii people don’t make as big of a deal about the Independence day of the United States, that is probably due to the large Asian population living in Hawaii. They seem to make a bigger deal out of New Year’s Eve than they do the 4th of July. So this year I went to celebrate the 4th of July with some people who really know how to party…the service men and women of the Marine Corps. stationed at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. For the last few years I have been coming to Kaneohe to celebrate the 4th of July because every year the MCCS puts on the Kaneohe Bayfest. This year I watched the fireworks while sitting under the wing of a P3 airplane and next to a Marine helicopter. Now that’s something you don’t do everyday!
I’m reminded of the time that Catherine, a little girl in our neighborhood told me that she wanted to be President one day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there with me – and I asked Catherine – ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’
Catherine replied – ‘I would give houses to all the homeless people’.
‘Wow’! ‘What a worthy goal you have there Catherine’ I told her (while both parents beamed), ‘But, you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and clean up all the dog poop in the back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $5 to use toward a new house.’
Catherine (who was about 5) thought that over for a second, and then replied, ‘why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop himself, and you can pay him the $5 dollars.’
Welcome to the Republican Party, Catherine…
