    AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

    To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

    Date: 2017-01-17, 1:43 am. E.S.T.

    I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled
    the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.


    First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when
    I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber
    Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!


    I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it
    was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. (That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again).


    After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of
    what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!


    I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That
    made his day!]


    I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the
    windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.


    Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning
    President Trump as my possible target.


    The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

    ;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution
    is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path
    you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!


    Thoughtfully yours, Semper fi,

    Alex

    Confused


    I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies:

    Internal Revenue 'Service'

    Postal 'Service'

    Telephone 'Service'

    Cable / TV 'Service'

    Civil 'Service'

    City, County & State Public 'Service'

    Customer 'Service'

    This is not what I thought 'Service' meant.

    But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows.

    BAM!!! It all came into focus.

    Now I understand what all those agencies are doing.

    I hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am.

    Little Susie goes home from school and tells her mum that the boys keep
    asking her to do cartwheels because she's very good at them .

    Mum said . YOU should say "no" - they only want to look at your knickers

    Susie said "I know they do"... "that's why I hide them in my bag"!!

    Here's a truly heart warming story about the bond formed between a little 5 year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time...

    A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.

    The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.

    Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot.

    They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

    At the end of the week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars.

    The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two dollar 'pay' she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

    When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age.

    The little girl proudly replied, 'I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us.'

    'My goodness gracious,' said the teller, 'and will you be working on the house again this week, too?'

    The little girl replied, 'I will if those ars*holes at Bunnings ever deliver the f*cking Gyprock...'

    OLD people have problems that you haven't even considered yet!

    An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part
    of his physical exam.

    The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring
    back a semen sample tomorrow.'

    The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and
    gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

    The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's
    like this--first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried
    with my left hand, but still nothing.'

    'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with
    her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth
    in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.'

    'We even called up Arleen, the lady next door, and she tried too, first
    with both hands, th en an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between
    her knees, but still nothing.'

    The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbor?'

    The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open

    Best Salesman in the World

    A young guy from Idaho moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

    The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

    The kid says "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in Idaho."

    Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he gave him the job.

    "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

    His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor.

    "How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One".

    The boss says "Just one? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day."

    "That will have to change and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in Idaho, but you're not on the farm anymore, son."

    The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"

    The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65."

    The boss, astonished, says $101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

    The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."

    The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a TRUCK!?"

    The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing!"
