Brokeback Deputies




A group of retired deputy sheriffs went to a retreat in the mountains.

To save money, they decided to sleep two to a room. But no one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first deputy slept in Daryl's room and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said,"Man, what happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night it was a different deputy's turn. In the morning, same thing -- hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Whoa, bad night? You look awful!" He said, "Geez, that Daryl shakes the roof. I watched him all night."

The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said.

They couldn't believe it! They said, "Wow, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed and kissed him good night. He sat up and watched me all night long."

ScarletRose:

It's on it's way to you

I hope you enjoy it as I did

Eriisa:

Darn I thought I was replying to Doliitle but whatever
I still don't have this book back from my son's girlfriend, although she read it and was charmed by it.

I'll send it on
Do is the most proficient reader amongst us.

I am almost done with Charles Dickens:
Four Complete Novels
including Great Expectations
Hard Times
A Christmas Carol
and
A Tale of Two Cities

I would only pass this on if I could be certain that it would be appreciated and read thoroughly

My favorite book of all time is David Copperfield

Has anyone read that?

ajtgirl: LOL I read it in high school. hmmm don't remember it much anymore.

Tuesday sent me 'A Million Little Pieces' so I have 2 copies now. She also wrote a note and says she's been busy working & fixing up the house and tell everyone Hi!

(lol, she says too that she is not using a new nic on BK!) rofl

Eriisa:

You may have read it in high school, but did you understand it then?

Dolittle: AWESOME site Do!!!! I plan on buying all of the Harry Potter books.I borrowed all but the last one out,that one I bought.I want the entire collection and think I will get it from that site.Thank you!

ajtgirl: Charles Dickens is one of my favourite authors, I read all his books when I was very young, that is how I learned to speak by reading his books out loud every night.
Edited for spelling.

Mousetrap:

Wonderful!
I went to high school in Texas and they didn't give a darn for Charles Dickens
I have just finished Great Expectations and am ready for Hard Times next.

His imagery and vocabulary are so beautiful and I love his style of always promoting the underdog.

ajtgirl:Not all of Texas was that way!

Dolittle:
Of course not, and I didn't mean to offend
I lived in the panhandle, strictly agricultural and livestock
The parents in our school district, who elected the school board and chose the curiculum
were making future farmers and homemakers in 1974
I learned a lot there but not about reading or the arts
But I can sew an entire wardrobe for a man or a woman!

LOL

ajtgirl: I can sure understand that! We had a terrific English/Literature teacher that exposed us to a lot of good reading and poetry!

ajtgirl: They did,nt do it at my school either lol!
My mam bought me all his books, it was to help me speak as I am deaf and it worked because I have never shut up since lol!

ajtgirl: A Cristmas Carrol was always my favourite by the way. For poetry my favourites are Poe and Longfellow and the Latin version of Virgil,s Aneid, we had to learn that by heart at secondary school. I have always believed that all the best literature was written in Latin. Latin is not taught in secondary schools any more, my class was one of the last to do it, I was lucky! But I canna sew to save me life I,m afraid!

Mousetrap: You have done so very good tho, so being able to sew is no big deal. You just keep on reading and nurturing your mind!

Dolittle: If I only had a brain!
Unfortunately I don,t!

Mousetrap: I don't agree with that, sounds like you have a very good one!!

I read the first two books. Very interesting indeed. I would like to read a conversation between Garfield and the Cat from the Book... Or find Kon Ichikawa's film adaptation!!!

Mousetrap:

I am so delighted that you have fond memories of Charles Dickens' writings.
Being deaf, they must have been quite an education in elocution
He was one wordy fellow and with a sharp wit, indeed.

God bless you
I am still reading Hard Times

瀬人様:

Wonderful
Is it translated into English?

瀬人様: Being a mouse I don,t really like to talk about this err subject but if I must, my favourite cat story is The Cat that Walked by Himself, the further away the better imo but its from the Jungle book.

Got the book Swan the other day Atjgirl.. forgot to tell you then.. been reading it.. :) Thanks!

ScarletRose: I already edited the list to show that you have Swan. Hope you enjoy it!
It is exciting to see more people interested in reading!

I have just finish Our Hands are Stained with Blood, it was very interesting. Anyone read that?

Mousetrap:Haven't read that one but it does sound interesting.

ajtgirl: Its by Michael L. Brown and is about the church and the persecution of the Jewish people.
The book is Our Hands Are Stained With Blood.

Mousetrap: I didn't know about that book either..thanks for telling us about it

baddessi: Another good one written in an humourous way is The Sex Lives of The Popes by Nigel Cawthorne, he wrote a series of them not sure I can repeat them on here though lol!
Actually he is very good. I know I know I read some strange books!

Mousetrap: I like new and different things. I'm glad you talk abuot them. If you didn't, I wouldn't know about them.

I have finished 2 books
One Thousand White Woman
and
Songs in Ordinary Time

both very good reads...anyone want me to send them their way????

baddessi: Thanks! Nice of you to offer but I think One Thousand White Women might be a bit too expensive to keep and I can,t even sing at all never mind Songs in Ordinary time.

Mousetrap: ok, thanks : )

Someone will want them..maybe I'll just mail them to someone and surprise them

baddessi: LOL! Well they both look good! I never heard of that intergration happening in the USA before and the Songs book reminds me of Catherine Cookson.

ajtgirl: My paws won,t reach that far to put it on the shelf but if you mean for the circle you would be lucky if you ever got it from here unless I paid the highest postage which is the resgistered one it would be far cheaper to just buy it or go to the library there lol!

Bwild:I think Baddessi still has Songs in Ordinary Times and One Thousand White Women. If you will contact her, I am sure she will send them to you!
