A lady was walking past a pet store when a parrot said, ''Hey,lady! You're really ugly!" The lady was furious and continued onher way. On the way home, she passed by the pet store again and the parrot once more said "Hey, lady! You're really ugly!"

- 02/04/12 08:36 AM
A London Lawyer in his flash new BMW is pulled over by a Scottish policeman.
He says, "Sir, I pulled you over because you didn't stop at the STOP sign. That'll be a 100 pound fine"
The lawyer looks at him "100 pound?!!!", then pretty agitated: "Look, I slowed down all right? What difference does it make, I slowed down surely that's enough."
The policeman raises a brow and looks at him: "Sir, it's a STOP sign, so that means you have to stop not just slow down."

- 11/16/11 07:27 AM
Did you know there is a California-Friendly Plant of the month? Well there is and this month it is the Purple Fountain Grass.

Purple fountain grass is often preferred over other fountain grass varieties because it doesn’t drop seeds, which makes it … (0 comments)
