Great Stories

[OG-]

So I was wondering who has some fantastic stories of the irony of life. I was just randomly reminded of one my friend Mark told me a couple months ago about a friend of ours named AJ.

This happened a few years ago. AJ was playing golf with his dad and they were talking about investing in the stock market etc (his dad thought it would be a good idea to get him into the market at an earlier age) and AJ's dad told him that he was going to invest in CISCO and if AJ wanted to go in on him with it, he would help him out a bit with the money. For anyone who doesn't know, CISCO basically runs the internet and this was at a time before they were the common name pubicly associated with networking.

So AJ goes up to Mark the next day and says, "Man, yesterday I was playing golf with my dad and he asked me if I wanted to invest in a company with him." Mark asked what company and AJ replied with, "CRISCO! Why the hell would I want to invest in a company that makes tubs of lard!?"

hahahahahaha, oh man. I know he's gotta be regretting that one.

i have no personal experiences to share, but it did remind me of a good joke

A nun is speaking with her "Mother" and confesses that she swore the previous day.

The elder nun asked why, and the nun explained. She had been golfing and had launched a ball with enough force to make it to the green, a happy gilmore shot. But the ball hit a telephone wire and fell short, after travelling only 100 yards. "Is this when u swore", the elder nun asked? But no, then a squirrel picked up her ball and began to run away with it. "Is this when u swore", the elder nun asked anxiously? No, then an eagle picked up the squirrel and took off. "Is this when u swore", the nun asked, dying of curiosity. No, then the squirrel, in pain, dropped the ball, and it bounced off of a large rock. "Is this when u swore", the nun asked impatiently. No, the ball bounced and landed a mere 6 inches from the whole. The elder nun finally said" You missed the f*cking putt, didn't you?"

here's one...a few years ago we visited new hampshire for the second time in our brand new car...rob loves short cuts and decided to take one..it was an old logging road by the name of sandwich notch road...well this one started off paved, turned to gravel, then just plain dirt..we went down this deserted bumpy road for 45 minutes until we finally hit civilization...we came up on a general store with two men sitting outside...rob got out of the car for some snacks and asked the two men where we were..one of them explained that we were in the town of center sandwich and was curious how we got here...rob pointed toward the road that we had just come down on and one of the men shook his head..."can't be," he said, "that road was washed out two years ago!!!"

this thread just keeps reminding me of jokes

two guys are hiking, and they find this big hole in the ground, and they wonder how deep it is, so one of them tosses a coin in. They wait, and wait, and wait, and they don't hear the coin hit, so they go in the woods and find this great big log. They toss it in the hole, and they wait, and wait, and wait, and they don't hear it hit. They keep looking, and they find this great bid tractor tire. So they throw it in, and they wait, and wait, and wait, and they hear something in the bushes behind them. So the look at the bushes, and a few seconds later, something lunges at them, runs by them, and jumps in the hole. "Did you see that, it looked like a goat". So by now, they're tired and are sick of that hole, so they head home. On the way, they meet a farmer, who asks them if they've seen his goat. And they tell him the story of the goat that jumped in the hole. The farmer says that that couldn't have been his goat, his goat was tied up to a tractor tire.

I have a hilarious story.
My brother and I went to this resteraunt called Spanish Flower. It's in Houston Heights. It was really fun because we were just messing around telling jokes and having fun. Then we ordered our drinks. We all place our orders and then she brings chips and our drinks. Before she walks away my brothers friend, who I could tell had had a few drinks(Don't worry he was 25), tried to order Chile con Queso without the queso.

It was great and i realized how stupid drinking usually makes people and so it taught me a lesson, drinking is a vile drink that turns the smartest people into idiots but it was still really funny. If you don't find it funny I guess you had to be there.
