At 10:25 a.m. Tuesday, a man on the 1900 block of Bayberry Court said his neighbors were upset with him because of a parking issue.

The neighbors ran into their house, saying they would get a rope and hang the man from a tree, calling him a racial epithet.

The cops found that no parking violations were committed and that it was a verbal dispute. Both parties were warned about racial comments.

Clerk: Can I help you, kind sir?

Fool: Yep.



Clerk: Uhm...

Fool: You're messing with the wrong guy!



Clerk: Can I interest you with a spark plug? A hose siphoning system? A tire removal kit?

Fool: You're messing with the wrong guy! What I need you don't got.

Clerk: Free pop corn? Grease? How about our special - two for one brake pads.

Fool: Where's the stilleto shoes! My wardrobe is incomplete! You're messing with the wrong guy! And I will be back later!

Clerk: Yes sir. Next time bring a translator if you would.

God, I love Tracy.

Giving social security numbers and other information to a website online. Ok, here we go:

The FOIA(Freedom of information act).

People are stupid.

Turbotax, Taxact, etc, People went online doing their own taxes in record numbers this year. Thinking they were sooooooo smart.

Didn't anybody ever tell them not to put their private/personal information out there online?

To anybody.

Anyone that did their own taxes online did just what that gal did.

Every one of them.

They gave out their social security number,

their children social security numbers,

Dates of birth,

Deposit bank information,

Their address,

Where they worked numbers and EIN's.

How much they make per year.

They gave out this information freely, then they wonder why they are getting all kinds of junk mail.

Why do you think these online tax places provide free federal online tax preparation?

"FREE". Go figure.

It may simply be Toby Keith's new film crew has problems and he's upset about not finding any new digs and freaks people out with 'Lonnies' Monster Truck..?

*Comment to Sam;

It's actually 'Whiskey for my horses and beer for my men'.
