OLDER LADY DRIVER

A mature (over 50) lady gets pulled over for speeding...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see... Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see. The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older Woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk..

Officer2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

Don't Mess With Mature Ladies!!!
I hope I brighten your day with a chuckle!!!

Have A Great Day!!!

MOM ARRESTED FOR LEAVING KIDS LOCKED IN CAR

A woman was arrested for leaving her 3 children in the car while shopping at the mall. Someone called the police and reported 3 children unattended inside the car. Upon officer's arrival, they found three children ages 7 months, 2 and 4 years old locked inside a 1999 Mazda Millennium. The children were crying loudly and sweating profusely. The windows were rolled up. The engine was not running nor was the air conditioner on inside the vehicle. She admitted leaving the children inside the car and was charged with three counts of child desertion.

She should be locked up in her car, sitting in the same parking lot while awaiting trial. Would save alot of money and also the childrens' future lives. How Pathetic!!!

CHARLIE'S SOAP REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

Charlie's Soap kindly sent me some products to test out. I got to try an 80 load bag of laundry powder, and a bottle of their all purpose cleaner. The first thing that drew me in was the packaging, it has a vintage feel and comes in a cute little drawstring bag.

Charlie's Soap is safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable. It does NOT contain any lye, brighteners, whiteners, dyes, softeners, petroleum, or perfume. It is safe and effective for all fabrics, including silk, wool, cotton, linen, microfiber, and waterproof gear.

Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder - The first thing you notice about this product is the packaging. Which is really neat it comes in a small cloth drawstring bag lined with plastic. The laundry powder does not have any scent so it is great for people that are allergic to perfumes. Charlie's Laundry Powder is a revolutionary approach to laundry care. It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners - it really cleans. It is made with a unique blend of biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda.

Charlie's Soap all Purpose Cleaner - It cleans everything from false teeth to diesel engines that is which the bottle says. I love the size of the bottle it is easy to handle. Gets under grease and grime, gently releasing them without harsh abrasives. Quickly, easily and safely removes pitch and tar from machinery, tools and hands.

Charlie's Soap is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader a chance to win a bag of Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder, 17 oz sprayer of all purpose cleaner and reuseable grocery tote bag.

FROM A WASHINGTON DC TICKET AGENT

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in trouble!!!

1.) I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2.) I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts.." Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa" his response -- click.

3.) A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I ask what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!" (OMG)

4.) I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No" She said, "But they look so close on the map." (OMG, again!)

5.) An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car to drive between gates to save time." (Aghhhh)

6.) An Illinios Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m, and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinios, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7.) A New Yorker lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, 'No, why do you ask?' He replied, "Well when, I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT) and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!" After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.

8.) A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?"

9.) I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them."

10.) Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, "I need to fly to Pespi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever, smarty!"

11.) Mary Landrieu LA. Senator called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China... After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those. I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!"

12.) A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York." I was at loss for words. Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" 'Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the man. After some searching, I came back with, "I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." "The man retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered. "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."

Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
Yes, they walk among us, are in politics, and they continue to breed..
