It’s 9/11, a day that we will never forget. Our people died to teach us a valuable lesson. We learned, in the blistering explosive haze, that freedom isn’t a right but a responsibility we must be constantly vigilant around. Responsibility is the key. Lawsuits need to be band. Stand up and take the lumps for your actions and watch your back. Take a moment to congratulate one of our fighters and to mourn the loss of our fellow Americans.
The Beach Ride was last weekend and some will report that it didn’t do so well. Others will say not bad for being down a year and returning to a new venue. We’ll see?
I have so much on my mind that I can’t sort it out. Let’s get to the news. Maybe it will make more sense later:

I HATE OLD FART JOKES–Two old men decided they are close to their last days on earth and thoughtthey’d have one last night on the town.After a few drinks, they ended up at the local brothel. The madam takesone look at the two old geezers and whispers to her manager, “Go up to thefirst two rooms and put an inflated doll in each bed. Those two are so oldand drunk, I am not wasting two of my girls on them. They won’t know thedifference.”
Her manager does as she is told and the two old men go up the stairs andtake care of their business.
As they are walking home, the first one says,”You know, I think my girl was dead!”
“Dead?” says his friend. “Why would you think that?”
“Well, she never moved or made a sound all the time I was loving her.”
His friend says, “I think mine was a witch.”
“A WITCH!!!! Why the hell would you say that?”
“Well, I was making love to her, kissing her on her neck and I gave her alittle bite…then she farted and flew out the window!!!

BIKERS ARE RIDING FOR CHILDREN–ANNUAL BEACH RIDE DRAWS 2,000 TO QUEEN MARY–Sunday, September 07, 2003 – LONG BEACH — Legions of leather-clad bikers roared into Long Beach on Sunday, but the only rumbling involved was the throaty thrum of engines as riders eased their motorcycles into the parking lot at the Queen Mary Events Park.
The bikers came, not to settle old scores, but to take part in the 11th Annual Beach Ride, a fund- raiser for the Exceptional Children’s Foundation.
Beach Ride publicist Kate Bilger estimated that 2,000 people paid $35 each to listen to concerts by acts such as Brian Howe, the former lead singer of Bad Company, check out the customized cycles on display and break bread with fellow motorcycle enthusiasts.
This year’s Beach Ride raised approximately $70,000 for Culver City-based ECF.
“ECF operates a variety of programs throughout Los Angeles County for about 2,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities,’ said Scott Bowling, the organization’s president and CEO.
The Beach Ride co-founded by Art Naddour, a biker and ECF board member is the organization’s largest annual fund-raiser.”Bikers from all over the western part of the United States come to this beach or, in the past, to Ventura, to raise money for ECF,’ said Bowling. “We’re very fortunate to have their support.’
This was the first year that the Beach Ride was held in Long Beach, and Bowling suggested that the change of venue may help to explain a significant drop in attendance. In previous years, the event has attracted between 5,000 and 7,000 bikers.
This year’s grand marshal, former “Dallas’ and “I Dream of Jeannie’ star Larry Hagman.Hagman enjoyED himself, nonetheless, amiably working the throngs browsing through displays of leather clothing, chrome helmets and other cycling accessories. The actor, a longtime member of the Uglies motorcycle club, certainly looked the part, wearing a black cowboy hat with a Harley-Davidson emblem on it.

Italians hate all witnesses.
Do you know why most men from Italy are named Tony?

You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can’t fit twocappicola sandwiches, 4 oranges, 2 bananas and pizzelles into a regularlunch bag.
Your mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant, travel agent andlawyer are all your cousins.
You have at least 5 cousins living in the same town or street.All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather orgrandmother.
You are on a first name basis with at least 8 banquet hall owners.
You only get one good shave from a disposable razor.
If someone in your family grows beyond 5′ 9″, it is presumed hisMother had an affair.

THE PARKING TICKET– I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, “Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?”
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires!
So I called him a piece of horse shit. Hefinished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket! This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn’t care. My car was parked around the corner.
