Leper's Top 10 List

top 10 reasons why vacations are cool:

10) Scenery is majestic at 6,000+ feet above sea level.. the peaks all around are 12,000 feet and above...and they all are distinctive..
9) Weather is awesome, in the mid-80's, sunny and blue blue blue blue sky..
8) I can watching Harry Potter on the big outdoor screen at the bottom of the ski run in Aspen, spread out on a sleeping bag and fleece blanket.. and a red bull & vodka in hand..
7) can have plenty of booze with dinner and not have to worry about the consequences for the having to go to work the next day
6) bike paths are smooth and runs on forever for miles and miles and miles...
5) no alarm clocks required - you just wake up, whenever it may be..
4) you can splurge on a $9 chef salad and a $3 diet coke before boarding the plane...
3) there's plenty of moonshine on the camping trip
2) dirty clothes can be re-worn and nobody notices...

and the number 1 reason why vacations are cool...
DAMN!, it feels good to be lounging around while everyone else is working!!!

My favorite joke of all-time...

There once was a little frog who wanted to take out a home improvement loan to fix up his pad. His name is Kermit Jagger.

He hopped over to his local bank, went up to the teller and said, "Hi, I'd like to take out a loan to fix up my pad."
The teller replied, "You need to see our loan officer. Her name is "Patricia Black."

So the frog hops over to the loan officer's desk and sits down. When Patricia arrives she ask, "What can I do for you?"

The frog says, "I'd like to take out a loan to fix up my pad."

Patricia asked, "What do you have for collateral?"

After thinking for a couple of moments about what he could offer, the frog reaches into his little froggy pocket and pulls out a small white elephant.

"This is a very unusual form of collateral." said Patricia. "I'll have to check with our bank president to see if it's ok."

Patricia goes to the president and says, "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who want's a home loan and this white elephant is all he is offering for collateral. What should I do?"

The bank president takes the small white elephant and after carefully examining it hands it back to Patricia and says, "Why, it's a nick-knack Patty Black give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
