Cats and lasers

I have to admit it I was a cat torturer today, no I did not water board them, that would be too hard. Actually we had a load of fun I came across an old laser I had stuffed away in a drawer some what like the one in the add here. Well anyway I went to test it out and turned it on and the dot appeared on the floor nice and red and bright. Enter cat, hell this was better than catnip, she was all over it. Me being me I could not resist in playing with the cat and the red dot, I am not sure who got the bigger workout but soon the other two cats decided to jump in and it was a site to see cats trying to catch this dot, the best part was when I decided to put the dot halfway up the wall and then to the ceiling. That kind of killed it but the look's on cats faces was priceless and we all had fun.....

Another funny

"An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

Funny of the day

     I caught this over at frugals:

History of the Last Five Thousand Years

 

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel
”pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead
you to the promised land"



Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said,"Lay down your shovels, sit on
your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the promised land".



Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price
of camels and mortgaged the promised land!



I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the
economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement
funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline.



Got to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They
got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck....

Redneck day

     OK Ladies, Gents and space aliens alike no cabin update today as it turned out to be a total cluster in that everything we started seemed to get hung up in one way or another. The biggest hang up being a few things for the master bathroom work fine on paper but in laying it out it just didn't work to that's on hold for a day or two until we work out the changes. On the bright side we did get the pull down ladder installed for the small attic space that we worked in so I will include a pic of that when I have more content to fit in. Other than that not much to go on but this little redneck funny I found, Author unknown.

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to
be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..'

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing
the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas'
instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when
someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your
hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem

You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces
veterans with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an
American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe
and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and
raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to
a friend.

Doctors

 

 

A doctor from Israel says: "In Israel , the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles, put them into another man and in 6 weeks he is looking for work!"   The German doctor comments: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out of a person, put it into another person's head and in 4 weeks he is looking for work!"


   A Russian doctor says: That's nothing, either. In Russia we take out half of the heart from a person, put it into another person's chest and in 2 weeks he is looking for work!"


    The US doctor answers immediately: "That's nothing colleagues, you are way behind us!  In the USA , we grabbed a person with no brains, no heart and no balls.  We made him President and now the whole country is looking for work!!!"
