    It is far more likely that ducks transfer fish eggs that stick to their feet or feathers.

    How do you steal a beach? Literally, you shovel up the sand and carry it off to sell. Apparently some types of sand are quite valuable.

    Drugs were probably buried in that Jamaican Beach!

    The Flesh is Weak

    A priest and a rabbi are seated together on a plane. After a while, the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, “Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?” The rabbi responds, “Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.” The priest then asks, “Have you ever eaten pork?” To which the rabbi replies, “Yes, on one occasion, I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.” The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

    Later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?” The priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.” The rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptation of the flesh?” The priest replied, “Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith.” The rabbi nodded understandingly.

    He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, “Beats a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?”

    I always thought there was something fishy about that duck over there. Also there’s something ducky about that fish. LOL, hey I got a million of ’em. ~ Jerry Seinfeld, making millions off of tripe.

    Take care, may relentless sun worshiper Betty “Scrub Oak Bark Skin” Oncologord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Benny the Russian was strolling along a beach along the Caspian Sea when he stubbed his toe on a magic lantern. He picked it up, polished it with his sleeve (it was a little chilly so he wasn’t wearing normal beachwear..) and (you guessed it) – out popped a genie!

    The genie said "OK you get the traditional three wishes. What’s Wish #1?

    Benny replied “I want to be rich – you know, yachts, multiple homes, mucho dinero in the bank account – that kinda thing.” (Many people not in the US speak multiple languages – Benny’s second language was American English.) The genie replied “That’s one of our stock wishes and easily granted. Wish #2?”

    Benny said “My second wish is to be handsomely virile – so much so that I’m sexually irresistible” The genie replied “Ho hum, another typical one – when you get to your mansion you will find many beautiful women anxiously awaiting your ‘company’. What’s Wish #3?”

    Benny thought for a while, then said “Well, I want to live forever, in order to enjoy Wishes #1 and 2.”

    The genie replied “That’s a little more complicated, and comes with a condition. It can be granted but if you ever shave you will be turned into a Grecian urn.” So do you still want that as Wish #3?

    Bennie said “Yes, I can live with not shaving.” I would elaborate about Benny’s thought process prior to his acceptance of this condition but I don’t want the story to get bogged down with non-essential information trivia if you will…

    We’ll now pick the story back up with Benny is ensconced in his #1 palace and enjoying all the perks . He’s loving the Rolls Royce (with chauffeur) plus every other material good he desires, as well as (ahem) the fruits of Wish #2.

    After a hundred years or so of bliss Benny (who is admittedly a little spoiled by this time) starts to be a little irritated by his beard which has become a significant impediment to his mobility.

    Benny retires to his gold-plated master bath and shaves a small portion of his left cheek (he’s left-handed so that would naturally be his first choice). Nothing happens, so he shaves a little more. Still no adverse effects!

    Benny thinks “I bet that genie has retired, or has lost our agreement (after all it’s been a hundred years)” and proceeds to shave his entire face. As the last whisker succumbs to his razor, he turns into a Grecian urn.

    What’s the moral of this story? A Benny shaved is a benny urned. Of course – what else could it be?

    I hope you didn’t skip to the end as this life lesson should be taken seriously. My next life lesson (once I recover from all this typing) will be “King Arthur and the Yellow Fingers.”
