Wow!!

Where do I start...... I'd like to thank the Academy...my mom...my shrink's best friend.....

Fun deal - thanks for the votes and for adding a little more fun to the end of the week, each week, with the YWTC contest. As usual, there were a bunch of funny ones from a lot of people.

I liked the one that referred to the Flex as "the Clear-Cut choice". That's good logging humor, that is.

I have an old picture of my brother and I crouched underneath babe's Sack and holding it up! Right there! We were in High School I guess, and I can remember people in the parking lot were yelling at us to stop (seriously? Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor?). I just want to know who the guy was that designed those things, and what the builders must of thought while constructing them 8)

Rick8365, are you sure about Paul? I heard he lost his in an AXident because of “holding wood” while “beaver-tailing” a “school-marm” back in '89. Congrats! I also found "A real kick-ox ride, no matter who you axe" quite punny.

Actually, Babe is an ox, so they've been missing for a while.

There's a line from the musical "1776," spoken by Benjamin Franklin:

"Calling me an Englishman without giving me the rights of an Englishman is like calling an ox a bull--he's grateful for the honor but he'd much rather have restored what's rightfully his."

Damn, I just thought of what would have made one of my captions better. "Paul says that Babe prefers a Taurus AX"
