POTATO BAG STRENGTH
An exercise for people who want to ease into exercising.

Step 1
Begin with a five-pound potato bag in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides, hold them there for a full minute, and then relax.

Step 2
After a few weeks, grab two ten-pound potato bags. Again, Extend your arms straight out from your sides, hold them there for a full minute, and then relax.

Step 3
A month or so, grab two 50-pound potato bags with the goal to be able to lift the potato bag in the same manner... working up to two minutes!

Once you succeed at these steps...

Go back to your pantry, grap two potatoes and put one in each bag.

While driving in the car the other day, my wife said she didn't think I had been listening to anything she had been saying.

I thought that was a strange way to start a conversation.

Wife: Can you stop yawning when I'm talking to you?

Hubby: I'm not yawning, I'm trying to say something!

At the hearings, Kavanaugh was asked how he would prefer to cross a waist deep river, in a rowboat or simply walk across it
He said he doesn't want to give an opinion on Row Vs. Wade

Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years. Finally sick of the stress he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from humanity as possible He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there.
"Name's Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come. About
5:00."
"Great", says Tom, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you...be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem" says Tom. "After 25 years in the business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, thanks again."
"More'n likely be some wild sex, too,"
"Now that's really not a problem" says Tom, warming to the idea "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
"Don't much matter ...Just gonna be the two of us."

A guy is reading his paper when his wife walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.
He asks, "What was that for?"
She says, "I found a piece of paper in your pocket with Betty Sue written on it."
He says, "Jeez, honey, remember last week when I went to the track? Betty Sue was the name of the horse I went there to bet on."
She shrugs and walks away.

Three days later he is reading his paper when she walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head again with the frying pan.
He asks, "What was that for?"
She answers, "Your horse just called!"

Why don't they put more money in ATMs!? I tried 5 different machines yesterday and they all said was "insufficient funds."

Two things to make your day better: Do not watch the news and stay off your bathroom scales...

When I was a boy Momma would send me down to the local store with a dollar. I'd come back with 2 loaves of bread, a pound of hamburger, a dozen eggs, 3 bottles of milk, and a hunk of cheese. You can't do that today. Too many security cameras...

The worst part of being a vegan is having to wake up at 5am to milk the almonds...

Let me get this straight; you drive a mile to the gym to walk a mile on the treadmill...?

I get it! Since I filled my living room with water, swimming is great! Rolling out of bed and jumping in the pool is wonderful.
