I cringe in advance for whatever Al comes up with. Saw this one and wanted to share...
A man and a woman, who have never met before, but are both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly...he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she replied. "Get your own f***ing blanket!"
After a moment of silence, he farted.

There were three little old ladies sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the park. The flasher came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.
The first lady immediately had a stroke.
Then the second lady also had a stroke.
But the third lady, being older and more feeble, couldn't reach that far.

The wifes been watching some tv show where big name singers/groups from the 70's and 80's come on the show and sing their old hits. Bunch of fat bald guys. Weird seeing these dudes that look more like my dad than rock stars belting out pop songs...

What's worse, these groups are still out touring. The oldies station here (before it was reformatted :P) used to promote their concerts, which carried inflated ticket prices...

I've given up on old classic rock acts... burned too many times...
A Frenchman, and Greek, and a Jew were walking down the street, when suddenly a city bus swerved out-of-control, striking the threesome, killing them all.
When the three arrived at the Pearly Gates, they all cried and moaned about being too young to die, etc., until finally, exhausted from their incessant whing, St. Peter agreed to send them back to Earth. There was a catch, however, in that each would have to give up their biggest vice. They all agreed, so, poof, they were returned to Earth.
As they proceeded down the sidewalk, the Frenchman noticed a small cafe, where patrons were sipping wine and smoking cigarettes. He walked to the window to peak in, then, poof, he vanished.
The Greek and the Jew looked at each other, shrugged, and continued down the street. As they turned a corner, the Jew noticed a $100 bill on the ground. Eyeing it briefly, he bent over to pick it up.
Poof, the Greek disappeared...

I'm convinced Keith Richards has been dead for 25 years. They just rub him down with a preservative once a week and then on concert night set him up on stage and hit his body with electrodes to simulate movement.

I watched that last night. I was disappointed. They talked too much, showed too many commercials and played abbreviated versions of all the songs. The only good one was the one who didn't rely on aftermixing fixups to make her sound better in the 80's. She blew the rest away and was the only one I enjoyed watching. At least she won, and at least I recorded it and fast forwarded through the boring parts and commercials. (Funny how a 1-hour show turns into a 15-minute show that way.)
By the way, I think they were all lip syncing. Even the one I liked....there were a couple of times she pulled the mike away from her mouth but kept singing just as loud. Very disappointing.

Yep, first thing I noticed when I got a tivo was that I could watch twice as much stuff in the same time, or the same stuff in half time.
Football games are amazing. You skip the blah blah and the commercials and you can watch a four hour game in under 2. In fact, if things get boring, I found if I hit the '30 second skip' button as soon as a guy is tackled it gets just about to the point where the QB is about to take the snap. Nice.
Plus having moved from the east coast to CA, it allows one to watch the games at 1pm and 4pm as god intended, not at 10am and 1am. Fer chrissakes you cant even crack open a beer at 10am in good conscience. Thanks be to the inventor of the bloody mary.
