The way it really is ... but with a twist | Eastern North Carolina Now

   Publisher's note: Some new and not so improved funny, or not so funny words from our friend Gene. One thing we can all be assured of - "somebody's laughing."

Balcony View


    Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony nd tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

    The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by."

    A few moments passed.

    "Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex."

    Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.

    "Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.


    Today is the Oldest you've ever been, Yet the Youngest you'll ever be, So ENJOY this day while it lasts.


You can laugh and understand only when you get above 50:

    Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel; I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.

    Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the door I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty.

    I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all, "Honey," I stammered; I always call her "honey" in times like these. "I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen."

    There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice. "Idiot", she barked, "I dropped you off!"

    Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me"

    She retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car."

    Yep it's the golden years.


Insurance Claims



    (1) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

    (3) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

    (4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

    (5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) (6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

    (7) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.. That will bring on a 'whatever').

    (8) Whatever : Is a woman's way of saying...Go to Hell...

    (9) Don't worry about it, I'll do it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.


    The following are actual statements found on insurance forms where car drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in the fewest possible words:

    I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.

    Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

    The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.

    I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.

    I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.

    A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.

    The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

    In an attempt to kill a fly I drove into a telephone pole.

    I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other Car.

    I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

    I was on the way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

    As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.

    To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.

    My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.

    An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

    I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull.

    I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.

    The pedestrian had no idea which way to run so I ran over him.

    I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.

    The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

    I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.


Things to remember!



    Simple Truth 1
    Partners help each other undress before sex. However after sex, they always dress on their own.

    Moral of the story: In life, no one helps you once you're screwed.


    Simple Truth 2

    When a lady is pregnant, all her friends touch the stomach and saying congrats".

    But, none of them come and touch the man's penis and say "Good job".

    Moral of the story: Hard work is never appreciated.


Five Rules to Remember in Life


    1. Money cannot buy happiness -- but it's a lot more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than on a bicycle.

    2. Forgive your enemy -- but remember the asshole's name.

    3. If you help someone when they're in trouble -- they will remember you when they're in trouble again.

    4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.

    5. Alcohol does not solve any problems -- but then neither does milk.

   There you have it ... and remember, life is good!
