The birth of a non-descript infant

Did you guys here the politically correct rendition of "O Holy Night" on the Glenn Beck program? I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Oooooo Night.. when non-descript infant was born…
Oooooo Night... the supernatural beings with wings..

That is some good stuff right there.

At work, I noticed one office had decorated their hall with all kinds of things about "love", "peace", "forgiveness", and the ultimate gift. Upon closer inspection I realized the writing on a scroll was a verse from the Bible. Then when I stepped back, it all came together... all these helicopters carrying these sayings were leading up to the ultimate sacrifice that Christ gave by dying on the cross for forgiveness of our sins. This is quite a paradox. I work for the government. The government is trying to get Christianity out of this holiday. Yet here in our very office is a huge display of it. Interesting.

Oh, and Merry Ramahanakwanzmas!

BAD SANTA VIDEO!

Are all girls directionally challenged?
Yesterday, we were all kickin' back in the sauna. Mike and Steve were giving Lisa a hard time about her second ever solo trip to Huntsville. She's only 22 and mentioned her parents really sheltered her and wouldn't even let her drive on the beltline, much less go to Huntsville on her own.

On the way home, she had gotten confused and somehow headed towards Scottsboro instead of Decatur. She called up Steve and was crying because she didn't know how to get back to Decatur. I was like, "Good Lord it's an interstate, you can only go East or West, just take an exit, get back on, and go the other way."

This is not the first time I've heard of this phenomena. Is it some kind of natural in-born thing where girls can't tell North from South, or East from West?

Trading Spouses, always a barrel of fun!
I couldn't believe how the 3 teenage girls were acting on that show. Not only were they disrespectful to each other and the adults, it seemed like every other sentence contained the F-word. I was like, "I see 3 kids who need a beating."

"Beating" is a term several of us have come up with which refers to good old fashioned Corporal Punishment (CP). We don't literally mean physical beating with your fists or anything... just a good old swat on the butt, maybe an ear pinch, or smack on the hand with a ruler.

I had all those done to me when I was in grade school. I remember one time in 4th grade, we were studying Alabama history (Boooooooooring), so my friends and I in the back of the room were kind of whispering and talking, when we were suppose to be reading. The teacher came up and smacked me on the hand with a ruler. $$%#%#&!@ that hurt like a mother. LOL But guess, what, I quit talking.

My personal favorite in-school punishment was having to write sentences. I went through a major phase of this in the 7th and 8th grade when I was in private school. I wish I could remember what I had to scribe, but I recall filling up, front and back, about five or six 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper on more than one occasion.

Then there was the paddling. I think I only got swatted 2 or 3 times . Remember the paddles with the 1/2" holes drilled in them? Yikes. LOL

I'm not sure what any of that has to do with Trading Spouses, but are you now fondly recalling your days in grade school?!
