Hospital regulations require patients being discharged to be wheeled out in a wheelchair. A student nurse, fresh out of the Marine Corps, notices a fully-dressed man sitting on a bed with a suitcase at his feet. “I’ll get you a wheelchair, Sir,” says the student.
“No, I’m fine, really,” the man says.
The marine-turned-nurse will not be deterred, however. “Sir, you will get in the wheelchair – it’s the hospital’s rule!” And without further argument, the man sits in the wheelchair.
The burly nurse-in-training reaches the lobby with his charge. “Now is your wife coming to pick you up?” he asks the man.
“I really doubt it,” the man replies. “She’s still up in the room behand a curtain, changing out of her hospital gown.”
Steve and Eromlig are hunting in the forest and they find some tracks, “What kind of tracks do you think these are Steve?” asked Eromlig, “bear tracks?”, “no” said Steve. “Deer tracks?”, “no” said Steve. “How about…..”, just then they were hit by a train.

It’s called a hogshead because that’s how much beer a hog could drink back then before it went to its head

Can you imagine being stuck in prison AND listening to banjo music, but you don’t dare complain to the guy about it?

The first time I heard the term hogshead was in a song:
“Over men and horses, hoops and garters Lastly through a hogshead of real fire”

My ex mother-in-law’s nickname, they said you could put lipstick on her but it did no good.
Capone could play the mandola and the ‘Chicago Typewriter’ with equal skill.Upon further review, it was just ‘Borscht Night’ on the space station when the Russian cosmonauts were there.
