Is this what daughters are for?

My wife and I were sitting around talking with our daughter and her friend this evening. I could tell she was bored, but she was being polite. The conversation was not about guys or makeup or hair styles, but rather boring stuff like older people, you know, her parents and such.

So I told her that I was sorry for boring her to death, and then thanked her for being courteous and polite. I went on to tell her that it was a great time "chillin'" with her and her friend and that I too was tired of hanging around old farts.

Ever the one with a quick and sassy comeback, she says "Is that why you make so many new ones?"

Isn't that great? She gave me a reason to blog today.

Open the Windows of Heaven

blog, the second

Now that I’ve met my daily obligation I can relax and write from the heart. As all of us know there are many fine blogs floating around these days. But sadly we often encounter some that offend our sensibilities. I would like to warn everyone about a site masquerading as a mere redneck blog with “Dixie” blasting away in the background. Sure, this blog includes some helpful hints to let people know if indeed they might actually be a redneck, but then the site turns nasty. It presents some very sexist jokes under the guise of redneck humor. I’m sure that we all agree that jokes such as this are uncalled for. For example: How many men does it take to open a beer? None. It should be opened when she brings it.

And it even gets worse.
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

And then this site even gets crude with the question, Why do men fart more than women? Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.

And I thought “blond” jokes were the bottom of the barrel. This guy sums up his philosophy by analyzing why there’s an inequality between the sexes. Stated succinctly he claims that: Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

Well, that gives me confidence.
