Getting into Heaven
An Angel visited a woman and told her she must give up smoking, drinking and unmarried sex if she wants to get into Heaven. The woman said she would try her best.
The Angel visited the woman a week later to see how she was getting on.
“Not bad” said the woman, “I’ve given up smoking and drinking but then I bent over to look in the freezer, my boyfriend caught sight of my long slender legs in high heels, he pulled up my skirt, pulled my panties to one side and made love to me right then and there.”
“They don’t like that in Heaven,” said the Angel.
The woman replied: “They’re not crazy about it at Costco either!

Patriot Missiles
While stationed at Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait there were some Patriot Missiles there. Every time Saddam Hussein sent scud missiles south of the 38th parallel something would be sent up that way to take it out. Periodically I would check just to ensure they were still pointing north. If they were I felt everything was going to be A-ok.

Little Italy Bar & Grill in El Cajon California
I don’t typically write a lot of reviews, however in this case I need to give credit where credit is due. I went and ate at the Little Italy Bar & Grill in El Cajon, California for a special occasion and the food was amazing. The quality was great the price was very reasonable and the service was good. When I first got there I asked the waitress what was good on the menu and she said, “everything.” I said, “Don’t tell me everything because some things aren’t going to be good.” Well, she didn’t lie. Everything I ate was delicious. Granted I didn’t try everything on the menu, but I also didn’t leave there hungry. I left with a full stomach of great quality food for a reasonable price. That’s two thumbs up in my book.

Curry House CoCo Ichibanya Irvine, California
ココイチカレー、たまに無性に食べたくなる味。特に海外だと恋しく感じる。
CAには４店舗あるらしく、アーバイン店に行ってみた。
日本に住んでいた外国人にも人気があり、この味を求めて来るお客でいっぱい。
週末のお昼時は行列が出来ていた。
中国系と韓国系のレストランやショップに囲まれたショッピングセンター内にその店舗はあり、駐車場が無料なのがありがたい。
当たり前ですが英語のメニュー。辛さ・ご飯の量・トッピングを選べて比較的に日本とあまり変わらない。店員は地元の学生さんっぽい。
オーダーも英語のみ。でもアメリカにしてはサービスが良く、
注文するとすぐにカレーが運ばれてきたし、お水もすぐにお代わりを聞いてくれた。
でも店員さんを呼ぶあのチャイムがあったら便利なのになぁ〜。
肝心の味は「これよ！これ！」と安定のお味。
量は多いので食べきれず持ち帰れるか聞くと、To-Go Boxを持って来てくれた。
アメリカ式自分でやりなさいのあのお弁当箱だ。
値段はチップ料金が掛かるので日本より少々高く感じた。
お子様セットのお菓子はオレオクッキー♪
