A Different Christmas Poem


Dave Snavely gets us off to a good start this week.
A guy is out with his buddies. He has a few drinks, gets in the mood for loving,


When he gets home he finds her sound asleep in bed with her mouth wide open.
He gets two aspirin and drops them in her mouth.

Of course, she awakens choking, but she quickly recovers and asks ,

"What did you put in my mouth??"

He says , "Two aspirin".

She replies , "BUT I DON'T HAVE A HEADACHE"!!!

He says , "That's all I wanted to hear."

*******************************************

Heres some pretty heavy advice from Wayne Paddack.

This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

As John Steinbeck once said. [ is supposed to have said ? ? who cares who??]

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall.

5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. (but shoot first anyway, then call 911)

6. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a .45?". The Ranger responded with, "Because they don't make a .46 "

6A. note " they currently make a .50 cal

7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

8. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?" "NO Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle." (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt).

9. Beware the man who only has one gun.
HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

AMEN!

A man was once asked if he had a gun in the house. To which he said he did.
The person said "well I certainly hope it`s NOT loaded!"
To which the man said, "of course it`s loaded."
The person then asked, "Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?"
The man replied, "No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching afire either
but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED."

>> >
>> > The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
>> >
>> > I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
>> >
>> > My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
>> >
>> > My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
>> >
>> > Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
>> >
>> > The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
>> >
>> > Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
>> >
>> > Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
>> >
>> > In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
>> >
>> > So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
>> >
>> > The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
>> >
>> > But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
>> >
>> > Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
>> >
>> > Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
>> >
>> > And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
>> >
>> > Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
>> >
>> > A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
>> >
>> > A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
>> >
>> > Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
>> >
>> > Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
>> >
>> > Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > "What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
>> >
>> > "Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
>> >
>> > Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
>> >
>> > You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
>> >
>> > For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
>> >
>> > Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
>> >
>> > To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
>> >
>> > Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
>> >
>> > I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
>> >
>> > "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
>> >
>> > That separates you from the darkest of times.
>> >
>> > No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
>> >
>> > I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
>> >
>> > My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
>> >
>> > Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
>> >
>> > My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
>> >
>> > And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
>> >
>> > I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
>> >
>> > But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
>> >
>> > Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
>> >
>> > The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
>> >
>> > I can live through the cold and the being alone,
>> >
>> > Away from my family, my house and my home.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
>> >
>> > I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
>> >
>> > I can carry the weight of killing another,
>> >
>> > Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > Who stand at the front against any and all,
>> >
>> > To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
>> >
>> > "So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
>> >
>> > Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > "But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
>> >
>> > "Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
>> >
>> > It seems all too little for all that you've done,
>> >
>> > For being away from your wife and your son."
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
>> >
>> > "Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
>> >
>> > To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
>> >
>> > To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
>> >
>> >
>> >
>> > For when we come home, either standing or dead,
>> >
>> > To know you remember we fought and we bled.
