COWBOY JOKE
An old cowboy, dressed in cowboy shirt, hat, jeans, spurs and chaps went to a bar, sat down and ordered a drink. As he was sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him.
After she ordered her drink she turned to the cowboy and asked him, "are you a real cowboy?" To which he replied, "well, I've spent my whole life on the ranch herding cows, breaking horses, and mending fences, so I guess I am."
After a short while, he asked her what she was. She replied, "I've never been on a ranch so I'm not a cowboy, but I am a ****. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think of women. When I eat, shower, watch tv -- everything seems to make me think of women."
A short while later she left and the cowboy ordered another drink. A couple sat down next to him and asked, "are you a real cowboy?" To which he replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a ****."
Hmmm ...since this is in the Needle Felting catagory...how about getting a styrofoam egg for a base..and needle felt an egg on it...then cut as desired...so this cute little kritter can sit in & have a hat too...just what comes to mind here.....make sense? I am not sure I explained this the way I visualize it in my head...lololol...Junior is sooo cute!!!
Shantell...that is wonderful ...thanks for sharing ...."I Wish You Enough"
AIRPLANE HUMOR
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet,"
which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots marked with a
P)
and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
(By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an
accident.)
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.
P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Daphne,
When I first started exploring needle felting, one of the things I found was this link...
http://www.peak.org/~spark/gallery.html
This lady does some incredibly beautiful flat felted work...
Here is "Felty" a needle felted easter bunny with his felted eggs & basket I recently finished. He is 3 1/4 inches sitting & has hematite rice bead eyes & felted nose and is 5 way string jointed.
I love all the bunnies here so far & look forward to seeing more
Ummmm...needle felted tongue???? Just my 2 cents....
WTG Kim...Snowy is very sweet! Moveable heads sure make these kritters more posable!
ROFL...I had seen the Husband Store one, and sent it to a friend, and he replied with the Wife Store one...When Nanc posted hers today I just had to follow up with the Wife one...Perhaps we could have a "joke" area here...because I seem to have a ton of them:) And Laughter is soooo important!!
hmmmm...no...guess you haven't heard about the new store across the street!!
The Wife Store!
A new wives store opened across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
