GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS

Got this one from my uncle. He doesn't blog so I can't link to him.

GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS

A distinguished looking young lady is on a flight returning from Switzerland.

She finds herself seated next to a priest and asks "Excuse me father, may I ask a favor of you?"

"Well of course Miss, what can I do for you?" he replies.

"Here's the dilemma: I purchased for myself a superbly sophisticated electronic hair remover. I paid a lot of money for it. I really went well over the limits set forth by Customs, and I fear they will confiscate it from me. Could you perhaps secret it through Customs for me under your robes?"

"I certainly could my dear, only I must warn you I really am not ever able to lie."

"You have such an honest face father, surely they will never ask any questions of you," and with that she hands him the hair remover.

After landing they proceed through Customs and it becomes the father's turn in line.

"Father, do you have anything to declare?" asks the Custom's officer.

"From the top of my head to my waist I have nothing to declare my son."

Finding this answer a little strange the custom's officer proceeds to ask, "And from the waist to the floor, what do you have to declare?"

The father replies, "I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which has never yet been used..."

Roaring with laughter the Custom's officer says, "Go right through father. Next!"

Claude Allen Story Explained

Claude Allen, the president's former domestic policy adviser, resigned last week and was arrested in suburban Maryland. Charged with stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from Target and other stores in a scheme to fake returns. Apparently he is accused of purchasing item, put it in his car, return to the store with the receipt, pull another off the shelf and cash it in.

American Princess has more on the story. I think she should be called on as a witness for the defense because she has it all laid out for the world to see.

Luckily for Claude Allen, the Presidential aide who resigned last week, and shortly thereafter arrested for presumably shoplifting from a Maryland Target, he might just be looking at the "Lisa Defense." He's got an evil twin, Floyd (which is, by the way, the perfect name for an evil twin).

Hop on over to ">American Princess' site for more on this bizarre story.

Formosa Termite Hoax E-Mail Aims at Lowes and Home Depot!

This was first spotted in 2006 and is now making the rounds -

FALSE

If you use mulch around your house be very careful about buying mulch this year. After the hurricane in New Orleans many trees were blown over. These trees were then turned into mulch and the state is trying to get rid of tons and tons of this mulch to any state or company who will come and haul it away. So it will be showing up in Home Depot and Lowes at dirt cheap prices with one huge problem; Formosan Termites will be the bonus in many of those bags. New Orleans is one of the few areas in the country were the Formosan Termites has gotten a strong hold and most of the trees blown down were already badly infested with those termites. Now we may have the worst case of transporting a problem to all parts of the country that we have ever had. These termites can eat a house in no time at all and we have no good control against them, so tell your friends that own homes to avoid cheap mulch and know were it came from

FALSE

Snopes comes through again!

prying1 sez: IT'S A COMMUNIST PLOT AGAINST CAPITALISM!!! - Both Lowes and Home Depot have performed above and beyond the call of business concerning Hurricane Katrina
- Quote - Craig Johnson, president of retail consulting group Customer Growth Partners, said he expects Home Depot to soon announce relief plans as well. "Based on similar situations in the past, both Home Depot and Lowe's have responded quickly," Johnson said. - end quote -

OK, maybe it is not a communist plot - (which reminds me of a joke. What's the difference between Russia and the United States? - Answer: Russia does not have a Communist party...) - but whoever the fool was that originally sent this one out must have known he was spreading lies and that it would hurt the business of two companies that have certainly accomplished more for people than the rectal aperture hoaxer ever did. I'm willing to bet he has never owned a business nor paid people wages or a salary.

If found the idiot ought to be tarred and feathered!
