Last Shreds Of Sanity

Yes, swimsuit season is upon us...Damn those designers for thinking that you must be a size 2, stick thin and built like a 10 year old boy to wear a bathing suit! GRRR!

***Clothing designers, please note: Curvy girls like to go swimming and sunbathe, as well. I would really like to see some of you fit into one of your own "creations"...feel comfortable and look good! How about designing clothing for REAL WOMEN??? Oh, sorry, that would mess up your "vision" and the "line" of the garment...my bad.***

Well isn't this quite funny...I Googled my nickname and this is what came up:

I found this at Infertile Myrtle's place:

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"

The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!"

Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her.

She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement.

Just then the blonde flips the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Dang it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
