April 30, 2010A Portland newspaper says police paid an informant to have sex with a prostitute. The story in the Portland Mercury says police used 150 dollars from their evidence fund for the informant to get the goods on a suspected prostitute by engaging in a sex act for money–the police’s money. Arrest reports show that the po-po nailed the woman shortly after her motel room hook-up with the informant.

The Tea Party
April 30, 2010To all the Parents and Grandparents out there !!!!
When I was a toddler, someone had given me a little Tea Set as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of “tea” which was just water, of course.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch his little Princess bring him a cup of tea, because it was, “Just the cutest thing!”
My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy.
She watches him drink it up and then says, “Did it ever occur to you that the only place that a toddler can reach to get water is the toilet?”
THE END (I hear you laughing!)

The IRS & Grandpa
April 23, 2010The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.
The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.’
I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about a demonstration?’
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, ‘Okay. Go ahead.’
Grandpa says, ‘I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.’
The auditor thinks a moment and says, ‘It’s a bet.’
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.
Grandpa says, ‘Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.’
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
‘Want to go double or nothing?’ Grandpa asks ‘I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.’
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa’s own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
‘Are you okay?’ the auditor asks.
‘Not really,’ says the attorney. ‘This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it!’
I keep telling you! Don’t Mess with Old People!!

MORE BELLOTTI DOMINOES FALL AT THE U OF O
April 23, 2010University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere wouldn’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, as to whether the university’s general counsel is being forced out over the Bellotti mess. Melinda Grier has been reassigned to teach at the las school at her present salary of almost $185,000 a year, but she won’t be re-hired in 2011. She has worked in the U of O administration since 1977. She was responsible for giving the university legal advice, and presumedly failed in that regard when Mike Bellotti was allowed to move from coach to Athletic Director with a verbal contract only. The situation led to a 2.3 million dollar payout to Bellotti when he left to join ESPN television.
