Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

An old man calls his son and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting a divorce. Forty-five years of misery is more than enough for anyone."

"Wait, Dad, what are you talking about?" the son yells, completely shocked.

"We just can't stand each other anymore," the old man says, his voice firm. "I'm tired of looking at her, and I don't want to discuss it. Call your sister and break the news to her," and he hangs up.

The son, now in a panic, immediately calls his sister. She explodes, "Like heck they are!" She calls their father right back. "You are NOT getting divorced! Don't you dare do a single thing. We are both flying home first thing tomorrow to sort this out. Do not call a lawyer. Do not file a single paper. DO YOU HEAR ME?" She slams the phone down.

The old man hangs up, turns to his wife, and says, "Okay, they're both coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares."

A young man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

The man bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The young man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want." Again the young man took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Next the frog yells, "Okay okay, If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you FOREVER and do ANYTHING you want." Again the young man took the frog out, then he chuckled at it and put it back in his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you forever, and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The young man said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."

Somebody is taking holiday "stocking up" quite seriously.

$1M Whiskey Heist

The heist was not a spontaneous or random act of burglary either, with the perpetrators having carefully planned and orchestrated the theft using fraudulent logistics documents and a freight truck to carry it out. They arrived at the Burlington, Washington warehouse on the 31st of July posing as freight carrier crew bound for New Jersey with the delivery, but the distillery was alerted to the theft when after a week the bottles failed to arrive at their scheduled destination on the East coast.

Club ONT Storytime

How many movies or books would be very different with modern technology?

So many storylines are based on the unknown - Where is a person? Where is the enemy? I'm waiting for a response from someone. What is the weather? Where are we going? Are we lost? What does that unknown language mean?

Club ONT Reading

Gimme the Reader's Digest. The Club recommends Word Power.

Hectic sex lives "explain why men die younger than women"

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology examined more than 1,100 species of mammals and birds, asking a deceptively simple question: which sex tends to live longer?

A clear rule emerged: the strongest predictor that the males of any given species would meet a relatively early end was down to how elaborate and energetic their mating rituals were.

Moron Worthy Club ONT History

Olympic medals with art talent.

From 1912 through 1948, the Olympics held competitions for art categories. Five divisions: Architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture. At the time known as the "Pentathlon of Muses."

More reading on the various arts / Olympics.

It is not widely known that art competitions have been part of the Olympics Games from 1912 to 1948. Each host city would establish a jury to judge aspiring artists' submissions. Like in the sports competitions, the best artworks were awarded a medal. This competition was the brainchild of the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Pierre de Frédy, who believed that competitions of the mind and body should take place at the same time. He saw the expression of human creativity as fundamentally important as physical movement. One might even argue that the immaterial nature of thoughts and artistic invention is the origin of anything created physically in our world.

Top 10ish Comments of the Week. Or thereabout...

Club ONT brought to you by: The 1901 Ford "Sweepstakes."

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Ford entered the car in a race that took place on October 10, 1901, at a horse racing track in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. The race was known as a sweepstakes, so Sweepstakes was the name that Ford and Barthel gave their car. Henry's opponent in the race was Alexander Winton, who was already a successful auto manufacturer, and the country's best known race driver. No one gave the inexperienced, unknown Ford a chance.

When the race began Ford fell behind immediately, trailing by as much as 300 yards. But Henry improved his driving technique quickly, gradually cutting into Winton's lead. Then Winton's car developed mechanical trouble, and Ford swept past him on the main straightaway, as the crowd roared its approval.

Henry's wife Clara described the scene in a letter to her brother: "The people went wild. One man threw his hat up and when it came down he stamped on it. Another man had to hit his wife on the head to keep her from going off the handle. She stood up in her seat ... screamed "I'd bet $50 on Ford if I had it.'"

Henry Ford's victory had the desired effect. New investors backed Ford in his next venture, the Henry Ford Company. Yet he was not home free. He disagreed with his financiers, left the company in 1902, and finally formed his lasting enterprise, Ford Motor Company, in 1903.

Unlike the Federal government, Club ONT remains fully operational. All Club ONT personnel are essential and they are engaged in conducting essential functions. Club ONT will never give you up, never let you down, never run around, or desert you.
