Answer: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

joke of the day

A guy is reading his paper when his wife walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.

He asks, "What was that for?"

She says, "I found a piece of paper in your pocket with 'Betty Sue' written on it."

He says, "Jeez, honey, remember last week when I went to the track? 'Betty Sue' was the name of the horse

I went there to bet on." She shrugs and walks away. Three days later he's reading his paper when she walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head again with the frying pan.

He asks, "What was that for?"

She answers, "Your horse called."

Gotta See This

Cops in China hate a popular t-shirt which makes it look as if you're wearing your seat belt, but in reality just wearing a shirt with a wide black stripe crossing your body between your shoulder and waist.  

 It's the law to wear a safety belt, but 90% of drivers in China don't care.  Failure to wear seat belts remains the 3rd leading cause of traffic accident fatalities in China just after speeding and drunk driving.  But Chinese drivers couldn't care less...In the end, it's your precious face at risk.

A zoo!

Why do some people own too many dang cats?  And why is it always cats?  You never hear of the "crazy iguana guy."  Ya know, the one that owns 17 iguanas.  It's always cats.

The latest example can be found in Chicago where a couple is suing their downstairs neighbor over the woman's 20 smelly cats.  Yes, you heard right -- 20.  The couple says it's not only hard to breath in their condo, but it's hard to sell.  Their doctors is also warning them against getting pregnant.

They want the woman downstairs to get rid of her cats and pay to replace the ductwork between their two condos.

So how many cats are too many?  How many cats can you own before you're consider the "crazy cat (lady/guy/couple)"?

Click

When it comes to shopping, we like click instead of pick.  Forget picking through items at a store, a new survey found that three-quarters of us to half of our shopping online.  Why?  Discounts and selection are the top reasons.  The privacy of it is also important.  45% of people say they shop online for things they wouldn't buy in public.  (if you know what I mean)

Forgive a Cheater?

Would you forgive someone who cheated on you?  Have you?  For what reason?

A new survey discovered that many of us would give the cheater a pass... 42% would rebuild the relationship.  Sound a bit high to you?

Women, especially older women, are way more forgiving than men (46% to 37%).  Once women hit 55 years old, 53% are willing to work things out.

Facebook/phones:  "Once a cheater always a cheater?"  Is that true or is there room for success after someone strays?
