One of my favourite stories.....

Kerry Packer was playing poker in the high roller's room of a Las Vegas casino. Also in the room was a rather loud mouthed Texan who was not shy about his wealth.

Kerry was always forthright with his opinions. After some time the Texan's bragging of his wealth began to annoy Kerry.

When Kerry had had enough of the Texan shooting his mouth off he said to him "Just how much did you say you're worth ?"

The Texan replied "I'm worth 60 million dollars".

Kerry's reply was "I'll toss you for it".

Exit one Texan.

On another occasion Packer asked his waitress why she wasn't at home with her husband and kids.

She replied "because I have a mortgage to pay for."

Kerry promptly paid her mortgage off.

What a guy.

Hot off the cyber presses.

SURFIN' USA:

"I've never seen anything like this in 22 years," said West

Reading, Penn., police Detective Joseph M. Brown. At the start of the

afternoon rush hour, a driver climbed out his window and climbed on the

top of his minivan, and rode it down the highway until it careened

across all four lanes of traffic. It then crashed, "catapulting" him

off. Witnesses "were shocked when he got back onto the road" after

climbing up an embankment, Brown said. The man then stripped off his

clothes and ran along the highway, bleeding from a foot-long gash on

his torso.

Multiple motorists called 911, but the man wouldn't stop for

officers.

They shot him with a Taser three times without effect, they

said, and finally tackled him so he could be taken to a hospital, where

he was reported in critical condition from the accident.

The newspaper said it is withholding the 38-year-old victim's name "because he has

not been charged." (Reading Eagle) ...So, they're saying the Taser was

defective?

Received this in email from a friend today:

You see some wild stuff in Bangkok but this latest episode from Friday night has me scratching my head. A farang drove his car into Soi Cowboy red light district early in the evening and stopped right outside Joe's Bar where, while still in the car, he proceeded to remove all of his clothes. Then, while sitting in the driver's seat, he decided to pleasure himself. After he had finished, he put the car into gear and drove off. Was this some sort of dare, or a bet or perhaps some sort of crude fantasy? You've never seen it all in Bangkok!

On This day 3rd May 1939

The "Beer Barrel Polka" was recorded by The Andrews Sisters.

Slow day in bedders. Does everyone have hangovers ?

Oh well, there's another post for the mantlepiece.

Slow day in bedders. Does everyone have hangovers ?

It is and yes I do for one.

One of our friends celebrated his 67th birthday yesterday, he started out by doing 67km on a bicycle, we helped him quench his thirst when he finished and I've spent most of today in the recovery position.

I have had a great weekend!

My end was NOT great, just weak.

I'm still having a great weekend - it's a bank holiday here n the UK!

The way it's going, all the banks in the UK are due a " holiday ".

Don't worry (not that I'm saying you are worried!) they will bounce back. The UK is the home of finacial services showing Jonnie Foreigner how it's done - fiddling the figures for millenia.

Also doesn't make any differnce to me I have not got anything invested anywhere, everything I earn I spend!
