I told my friend that he forgot to flush the toilet
He said if he is only taking a leak then he wont flush because it conserves water
........................
"I applaud your dedication to the preservation of our environment, now go flush my damn toilet!" I said.

Well Dear crooks you kept that quiet Well done and all the very best for the "Big Day". You will be so overwhelmed that half an hour after the service you won't remember a thing that just went on.

As he is finishing a cup of coffee that you make him, say "guess where that water came from"

From my experience a quick drink with Dad of your future wife will fix that.

A quicker drink with every dad that attends the service will fix it quicker. Might also make the service go by smoother as well.

Good Luck to you, Crooks!!

Usually, the people I know that don't flush just because they are relieving their bladder are either older than me (and THAT's OLD) or were raised in a rural (farmland) area where they had only cesspools or septic tanks. You didn't want to flush too often for fear of overflowing the septic tank.

They got so used to that routine that even after having sewer drains installed and connected to the city sewer system, they still didn't flush for only No. 1. My grandparents were like that. Our home in Milwaukee was connected to the city system. But the house we bought in California in 1951 still used a Cesspool out back under the patio. But we soon had a regular sewer line installed and by-passed the cesspool altogether.

Yet, they still only flushed for No. 2.

About bloody time, I was beginning to think you'd given up on the idea.
Now repeat after me "yes dear"

If it's yellow let it mellow - if it's brown flush it down.

Congratulations Crooks! Just remember...your spouse/mate should be your best friend first and foremost!

And always respect each other!

The other day Ashley and I were talking about her latest "crush". I asked her if he liked her as well?

She said "he does, he just doesn't know it!"

Bottom feeding

I have been out bid on four properties so far this month. It's been a little disheartening. Yesterday I met the agent of the completion. His client has $10million earmarked to purchase local property. He is buying up distressed properties at the rate of three or four a week.

This makes a change in my decision making process. I suppose I could wait a month (or two) until he has satiated his buying spree or runs out of money. My other option is find a property I REALLY like and offer an amount substantially over the asking price. Not the ridiculously low prices I've been seeing but still a good deal. Previously I was making offers on properties that "would do" priced at about half of their previous high.
