Mom's Foot

OK, so it is time to report on what has been happening this last week. Mom is out the the hospital and is at home recovering. While in the hospital she was treated for an infection in her foot. They had to open her foot up surgically and remove an abscess that had accumulated some of the infection. with that done she is home, kinda, she is still on an I. V. that delivers a focused anti-biotic, that means they know what the infection is and how to treat it specifically. She should be on that for 2 weeks, and then they will see about plastic surgery to close the wound. I will keep you posted. For the adventurous there are some pictures of the foot, but be warned this is really a big sore. here is the link Don't look if you don't want to know

Texas Trooper

Two guys are speeding through Texas when a state trooper pulls them over. The trooper walks up to the drivers side of the car, gets out his billy club and smacks the driver across the face. Stunned, the driver asks, "Why did you do that??"

The trooper responds, "You're in Texas now son, you have that license out and ready around here!"

"I apologize sir, I'm not from around here."

The trooper then walks to the passenger side of the car, and taps on the window. The passenger rolls down his window and the trooper takes out his club and smacks the passenger across the face.

"What was that for?" asked the passenger.

"I know your kind," says the trooper, "About two miles down the road you would have looked at your buddy and said 'I wish that son of a gun would have tried that crap with me!'"

Tough Love

A dying man smells his favorite oatmeal raisin cookies cooking downstairs. It takes all the strength he has left but he gets up from the bed and crawls down the stairs. He sees the cookies cooling on the counter and staggers over to them.

As he reaches for one, his wife's wrinkled hand reaches out, smacks his and she yells:

"No, you can't have those! They're for the funeral!"

The Rabbi and the Priest

A Rabbi and a Priest buy a car together and it's being stored at the Priest's house. One day the Rabbi goes over to use the car and he sees him sprinkling water on it. The Rabbi asked, ''What are you doing?'' The Priest responded, ''I'm blessing the car.'' So the Rabbi said ''Okay, since we're doing that....'' and takes out a hacksaw and cuts two inches off the tail pipe.
