"Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida .Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.* Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.* Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.* Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border. Any other problems you would like for me to solve today ? Yes! Think about this one: 1. Cows 2. The Constitution 3. The Ten Commandments

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment. "south40

• The other day at the  pool a very pretty red headed woman came down and asked a hugely fat woman sitting nearby, How's the water? It's way too cold. Red rolled her eyes and dived in (I liked her immediately for that), she then swam up to me and said, How are you?
• I cleaned my bellybutton with a Q Tip and hydrogen peroxide this morning.
• If you let milk set long enough to warm some it becomes sweeter tasting- why?
• The sampler combo thing at Olive Garden is very good.
• I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane- there's calm in your eyes

I have come to a realization that I don't have many friends. That means when I die I won't have enough people to carry my casket. I believe the minimum number of pallbearers is six. I've also got a very small family, so they won’t do. I can't do any exact math on the numbers of available people because by the time I die I won't be sure which of those people will still be around or if we all died together in some horrific accident. If I make a rough estimate I'd say roughly there would be 5 reliable people, friends and family included. As you can see I'm short one. So I am here on craigslist in search of a new friend. So why a female friend? I just thought I'd even it out a bit since most of the other pallbearers will be male. In all honestly I don’t want my funeral to be a sausage fest because then some of the other pallbearers might not show. With some female incentive it will ensure that they come through for me. Now I realize this is going to be very competitive, I mean who wouldn’t want to carry my casket? So below is more details on how to apply. Now in order to my friend you'll have to meet the following conditions and requirements: -Must make an appearance at my funeral to carry my casket -Must be able to lift 1/6th of the weight of my body inside a casket -Being my friend is only secondary to your role as my pallbearer, in the case that I start to actually like you as a friend, that role may be switched to a secondary priority. -This will be STRICTLY friendship. You must not fall in love with me. I don't need a coffin straddler at my funeral because it will make the casket that much heavier to carry. Besides it's not proper custom the spouse to be a pallbearer anyway -In the case that you die before I do I will be your pallbearer -In the case I changed my mind and decide to be cremated then you are hereby relieved of your duty as pallbearer The interview process may subject you to tests such as heavy lifting, ability to cry, and proper funeral dress. Training will be provided for all successful applicants in proper lifting technique, crying when you really don't care, and how to dress for a funeral. I thank all applicants for applying but only those that I am interested in will be contacted for an interview. In case you're wondering, I'm not dieing. Therefore until the day I do maybe we can be friends? So please would somebody commit to this task? I could die any day now…please hurry.
