Joke
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven."

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God."

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle?"

Arthur said, "Yeah, that's me...."

God commented: "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?"

Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?"

God said, "Ah, yes."

"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble too much

4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!! !!

"Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."

God went to his Celestial supercomputer typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours.


:evilgrin:

10. pretty good
I always have too much to do on Sat. I do tai-chi and then play mah-johnng, and then the guys and I went to see Dragon Boat races on the river. That was cool. My son works hard to keep me from checking out all the jewelry in the various festival booths...


I love Cops. My husb. calls it "social workers with guns"


As for music, I have been taking drum lessons for a few years now and I really need to find a band or at least some folks to jam with again....

8. Good!
Sometimes I wish I could be more like me in real life on here because I like to mess with people. Not that this was like that, but there are sooooo many things I would say here just to joke, but I don't want to start things. LOL

It is hard biting my tongue. But I am really a nice guy. :)

I know you're a nice guy.......it comes across in your posts......

I don't think that there would be any problem with your messing with folks here......

I have never seen you be mean, and I'm sure you wouldn't be in any joke situation either.....

Go for it! :bounce: :bounce:
