 Fogie's Folly

Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

It is my sad responsibility to report that G. Dubbya, is insane. The poor guy is off his nut, he's flipped, batty, out to lunch, playing with half a deck, a few sandwiches short of a picnic, the porch light is on but nobody's home, his pilot light is out, he's all foam - no beer, the cheese has slipped off the cracker, he's got a screw loose, the engine is on but nobody's behind the wheel. I don't think he's quite all there any more.

I know I'm way behind in waiting until now to comment on this, but the reason for this sudden urge to inform you of my sad conclusion is an article I just recently read in which the Bushman is quoted as saying that any decision by the states to allow same-sex marriages is "deeply troubling".

Now, I want to make perfectly clear that my opinion on same-sex marriage is COMPLETELY irrelevant to the point I want to make; in fact, I voice no opinion to you on the subject one way or another. BUT, I am a huge believer in the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution. It is the most sacred document to American citizens and the complete foundation on which this country was built and is governed.

Which brings me to the truly troubling part of the article where the Prez says that, "If activist judges insist on redefining marriage by court order, the only alternative will be the constitutional process. We must do what is legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage." Translation for the G-man impaired: If the states continue to exercise their authority, G. Dubbya will seek to amend the constitution in order to take this power away from them and make gay marriage constitutionally illegal.

I ask you in the purist vein of governmental scholarship, what the heck does the Constitution have to do with gay marriage? Didn't I read somewhere the phrase "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness -- that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men."

It was either Maxim magazine or The Declaration of Independence. I think it was Maxim.

The bottom line is that you just don't go tinkering around with the Constitution at the drop of a hat! You don't take the fundamental principles of our governmental structure and twist them to suit the fancy of ANYONE. And you sure as heck don't amend what is arguably one of the greatest blueprints for governing in the history of mankind every time the political wind changes direction!

We're not talking about the bridge club rule book here, folks; it's the United States freakin' Constitution! And it PLAINLY spells out what rights and responsibilities belong to the feds and those that belong to the states. It is not the fed's job to dictate to the citizens and to the states how to run their lives and who they should run their lives with! It is their responsibility to stick with regulating interstate commerce, spying on the bad guys, ratting out their own CIA operatives and looking for WMDs in every two-camel garage in Baghdad.

Not that the Prez has said he's against homosexuals. He's not that crazy. Plus, if you're against homosexuals you're against lesbians... and I don't think anybody is really against lesbians.

What Mr. B. is against is the idea of homosexuals being married. He doesn't want them to have that kind of legitimacy. Because if you allow the homos to get married you have to allow them to get divorced, pay someone alimony, share insurance benefits, adopt and raise chitlins, attend PTA meetings and generally corrupt good, honesty, red-blooded, chick-loving Americans.

And we can't have that, now, can we?

Let's keep as much power as we can where it belongs -- with the people and with their state and local governments. If you don't want any homos or dykes in your community, raise a posse and run their butts out of town and back to California. But don't amend the Constitution just because you're a homophobe.

Have a LARGE day, Folliers.

Constitutionally,

me

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?"

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Nun's Wild Dancing Earns Her a Reprimand

BRUSSELS - A Belgian nun's acrobatic and indecorous dancing with a missionary during the Catholic World Youth Day in Germany over the weekend earned her a reprimand from her mother superior, a Belgian paper said.

Daily Het Laatste Nieuws showed pictures of a dancing Johanne Vertommen being held up in the air by the missionary, and then clinging to him with her legs wrapped around his body.

"I wouldn't do this at home but at such occasions I get carried away by the enthusiasm of the group," the 29-year-old told the paper later.

"My mother superior raised the issue today: she thinks I should watch out a bit and bear in mind that I represent our community," Vertommen said.

Pope Benedict attended the celebration at the Marienfeld, outside Cologne, in the presence of some 700,000 people.

[Oh, those crazy, wacky nuns! It's OK this time, just don't make it a HABIT.]

The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race realized that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole world.

One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They'd have five years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world. The losing side would have to lay down its arms. The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and Rottweiler bitches in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, killed his siblings, and gave him all the milk. The used steroids and trainers and after five years came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.

"When the day came for the fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Russian dog.

"When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out and wrapped itself around the outside of the ring. It had the Russian dog almost completely surrounded. When the Russian dog leaned over to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund leaned up and consumed the Russian dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.

The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. `We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler bitches in the world and the biggest meanest Siberian wolves."

"That's nothing", an American replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons working for five years trying to make an alligator look like a Dachshund.'"

Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. "Why do you do that, mommy?" he asked.

"To make myself beautiful," said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.

"What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?"

Regarding "Safe Porn"...

Fogie- because I'm sure you don't know this, the vast majority of gay porn producers for years have required performers to use condoms. -Lewis
[You're right... I would not know this. But I'll ask Joe to corroborate your story.]

Fogie, Since you are an expert on porn and, I'd suspect, OSHA rules, just what rules in the OSHA handbook applies to how people have sex? I'm curious how the rules read. -Jeff, Alexandria, IN
[Although we would all hope they applied to plot lines, acting skills and background music, it actually has to do with bio-hazards.]

What difference does it make what OSHA does to the porn industry. They are all pretty boring, the men are unattractive and the women are plastic and obviously faking! -Tammy
[Are you watching the TV or the mirror?]

Regarding "Austria Museum Lets Naked People in Free"...

This would be better than a nude beach at least for me... I burn to easy. :-) -Deb
[And no sand to worry about in those, er, hard-to-reach places.]

This is pragmatic; If someone comes in nude, I think I'd let them in free as well. I mean, where do they put their money? I wouldn't want to touch their money. -Gurl Troll
[Want to touch my monkey, then?]

This is what I like about Europe and why I married a Euro. Sex and Nudity is not taboo with Euros. Very open minded and kinky= lots of sexual pleasure. -John
[Plus, they don't shop at Walmart or biggie size their Wendys orders.]

I love European men. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll snag one. -Chrissy
[Well, every dog has its day.]

Things like this right here are why Muslims think WE are degenerate! -Crackle
[Dude, we ARE degenerate... Besides, we can't all be special enough to be part of a religion that thinks it's preferable for young men to have sex with boys than to have premarital sex with women.]

Filthy sluts looking at nude art is not what I call awe-inspiring! -Carl
[I don't know about awe-inspiring, but it's at least a heckuva fantasy! You must be gay.]

Good thing its not in the midwest, imagine the the naked people. -Gina
[*shiver*]

Regarding "Why Do Men Have Nipples?"...

Men's nipples work. I have read several stories in the past where men were able to lactate, so there must be mammary apparatus installed. -Curtis
[Yeah, but we produce beer rather than milk.]

y does sex stop after marriage?
y do women stay fat after having a baby?
y are there ugly women,
y do breasts have to sag?
how come women get that thing under their arms that sags.
how come there is no male birth control?
after millions of years of evolution, why are there still ugly people? -Jacob
[Why do monkeys write to me?
Y r there people who substitute letters 4 actual words?
And, you ask, why are there still ugly people? Because your parents reproduced.
And what makes you so sure that sex has actually stopped for your wife?]

Why do batteries have a - & + terminals? -Brian
[To attach to your man nipples, of course.]

So, we're all girls for a month? That's... interesting... -Don
[Don't worry, we realize that something isn't right after a month and start to evolve. Well, some of us.]

RE: Why do men have nipples... This is a cute little story but it is not accurate. The writer adds that men don't have mammary glands and it is here that a falacy is perpetuated. In fact, men have mammary glands and men also are susceptible to breast cancer as are women. The tissue is not as developed as it may be in women, but none the less, mammmay glands are clearly in both sexes. The reasons why men have mammary glands and nipples lies in the embryonic origin of these structures and their responsiveness to female hormones during development. I suspect that an accurate answer is less interesting than may be a glib and entertaining one. As Carl Sagan tried to teach, real science can be much more interesting that pseudoscience and myth. -Laura
[But not nearly as funny, as you have so well proved.]

Regarding "Desperate Teens Sell Themselves on EBay"...

IDIOTS!!!!! What the heck did they expect???? Did they think they were going to get rich???? What a couple of idiots!!!! Hard working, educated, experienced people all over America are trying to find good paying jobs and these two clowns think someone will pay big bucks for their labor??? LMAO!!!! Some how i bet these morons thought they would get sex offers from lonely house wives....maybe that is what they found with this man in St. Joseph. LMAO!!!!! $246.50? You can make more than that at McDonalds in 7 days. idiots... -Dan
[Yeppers. They should have tried to auction something TRULY valuable like a Virgin Mary grilled cheese sam'ich, ghost chains, french toast not eaten by Justin Timberlake, or the world's longest french fry. THAT'S what brings in the big bucks!]

This is a bad idea. Besides getting paid crap, doesn't this seem really dangerous to anyone? I mean where are their parents? Had I suggested I was going to "sell my services for a week" on the internet, my parents would have laughed in my face. It's asking for trouble. -Drema
[Out of curiosity, how much are your "services"?]

Another Bush employment success! 7 days! 247 bucks! Welcome to the Bush family's "new world order". -Blair
[Would you like fries with your feudalism?]

Uhhh... Do you know if Wacko Jacko has an EBay account? -Shane
[The guys were 19, not 13.]

This is the generation that will be paying my Social Security?!? I think I'd better open another IRA! -Victor, Olathe, KS
[Yeah... I bet whatever college they're headed to is reexamining their enrollment criteria.]

12 yrs of self esteem based education probably from public schools -- huge egos, little knowledge. -Charles
[Please, tell us more about yourself.]

Golden Palace.com -- They would have gotten more for advertising something on their bodies when they go off to college. -Mara, Holland Park, UK
[Hmmm... Hey, Chet! I've got an idea!]

General comments...

I've been noticing a disturbing trend in your reader comments, a veritable explosion in vocabulary, which in itself isn't bad, but all the new words pop up whenever you or Knox says them. Just goes to show you that you can win people over by making fun of them. -Chad
[If that were true I'd rule half the world. I don't rule half the world, do I?]

You should talk more about strange sex stories! -Sarah
[Well, there was one story involving a cucumber, a jar of honey, a chicken and some bungee cords, but I have to exercise some discretion.]

Fogie: I start each and every workday with a cup of coffee and your column. Keep up the great work. -Cari
[That's dedication above and beyond the call, especially since we only publish about twice a month lately.]

Fogie, did you see this crazy ass story? "MADRID - A man tried to have his wife charged with domestic abuse because she refused to have sex with him on five consecutive days. The man from Seville said her refusals amounted to "degrading treatment" and domestic abuse. The judge shelved the case." -Amy
[Interesting, but I was expecting to read something about a crazy ass, like you promised. Maybe somebody with three cheeks or something.]

Your site is very interesting. I am an international correspondent from Montreal for a European TV show on RTL. We have to make weird and unconventional reports. If you here about something bizarre and interesting you can tell me on my e-mail. -Kathleen
[Try subscribing!]

Hey fogie, can i say F*%! $&!* %@!# in the reader comments without being edited? -Curt
[Sure.]

wiccans are just fine. just because we practice witchcraft and cast spells doesn't mean we're bad. have you even looked into wicca before? -Trina
[Of course I have. I have a beautiful wicca chair in my den. Oh, wait a minute...]

I DISAGREE WITH YOU! You are wrong! -Bill
[I agree.]
