Elbow Liberation Day

Yes, yesterday was finally "Elbow Liberation Day".  I picked Shannon up at lunch time and we decided to mix some fun in with the trip to the orthopedic guy.  We started out at Applebee's for lunch (that's root beer, just so ya know)

Then it was off to the orthopedic group to get that big thing cut off, get more x-rays, meet with the doc, and see what the deal was. Turns out that her arm is healing well, but she's still got two more weeks of casting and maybe a splint for a week or so after that.  She was NOT happy to hear about the splint, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

When we left there, we were off to the salon for a shampoo and a blow dry.  It's a real pain washing her hair in the sink all the time, so I thought it might be nice to have Ashley do it for a fun treat.  I know I love it when somebody else washes and styles my hair.  

And finally, I present to you.....the left elbow!  

When it comes to politics, I can be pretty outspoken about my views, but I keep all of that off of this blog, because I just don't want to go there.  Frankly, I"m totally sick of all the election crap already and it's only May.  I don't object, however, to some equal-opportunity joking around when it comes to political jokes.  As long as everybody gets picked on, it's all good to me.  

A friend send me this the other day and I thought some of them were hilarious!

So tell me....Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The
chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need
to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side
of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross
the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from
Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to
cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of
the chicken crossing the road...

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life
long dream of crossing the road.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from
his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this
chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life
like the rest of the chickens.

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after
the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him
realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems
before adding 'NEW' problems.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped
to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?
That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is
gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott
all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white
washes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken
should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

BILL GATES:
I have just released Chicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is
much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.

DR. SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, the chicken crossed the road,
But why it crossed I've not been told.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Ha! My personal favorite was Ernest Hemingway's reply. Took me straight back to 10th grade and my English teacher telling me that Ernest Hemingway could write any way he wanted because he was a famous author, but we had to write in complete sentences or die.
