You're lucky a bear didn't find it and spend all your cash on sushi.
:laugh:

Another time in a green room on a construction site, pulled up my britches and felt the pocket flip over... Saw the wallet bounce on the seat... Even took a swipe at it... Nope.

There was 400 bucks in that wallet.
Driver's license.
Fishing license.

I thought about it, I really did...
But about 40 construction guys had been doing their business in there... Every morning there's a line around 10 o'clock...

NOPE.

Took 4 weeks to get those licenses straightened out.

I wonder if the sewer doer dude got the tip.  :whistle: :shrug:

Green Rooms. Construction sites. This sh*t is right up my alley. The stories are endless.

Once I took a dump 30 miles back in the woods... spent two days up that way before getting home and noticing my wallet was gone.

Drove all the way back up there... Yep. There it was.

That's when the thirty-point buck comes sauntering into view during hunting season, too. :silly:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's why I always carry a multi tool (Leatherman). If it didn't sink, you can fetch it out with that.

I wasn't quite that far back in but otherwise my story is the same.  One of the major reasons I now carry my wallet in my left FRONT pocket.

Nope. If it would have caught up on something I would have figured something out. Ploonk! Right in the tidy bowl.

I even offered all the money to anyone willing to go scuba diving... Just to get my licenses back...

No takers. Just a whole lot of construction guys barely keeping a straight face as they gave me that 'hard times' pat on the back... walking away in fits of laughter.

You know how that's gonna go.   *****rollingeyes***** :laugh:

Well, I was up there two days after...  That was three 10:30 Expresses. Not one. I pretty well had to track myself all the way back to the offending er... site.

Woman eaten by 20 pet cats after collapsing dead
By Henry Holloway, The Sun   
June 17, 2022 11:02am

A woman was eaten by her 20 cats after she collapsed at her home and was not discovered by cops for two weeks.

Police were horrified when they discovered the partially eaten remains of the woman – who has not been named – after receiving a call from a concerned co-worker.

The woman was a cat breeder who kept the 20 giant Maine Coon pedigree cats in her home. ...

It can happen anywhere. A friend died one summer and was not discovered until over a week later.  His dogs were in the trailer house with him...

No one wanted to adopt the dogs.

I thought my husband was constipated: Actually, he had a water bottle in his butt
By Brittany Miller   
July 15, 2022 6:32pm

This guy really did have something up his butt.

A married man from Iran is recovering after doctors removed a 7 ½ inch water bottle from his rectum.

The suspect suppository was discovered after the 50-year-old arrived at the hospital with his wife, who grew concerned once he stopped eating and began to suffer from abdominal pain and constipation. ...

Doctors at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari did not mention why exactly how the bottle got stuck there, but did say that sexual gratification is usually behind these sorts of situations. The man was also known to have a history of depression, according to the Clinical Case Reports. ...

Trans Cheerleader Booted From Camp For Allegedly Choking Female Teammate: Called Me ‘Man With A Penis’
By  Ryan Saavedra

A transgender cheerleader, who is a biological male, was criminally charged last week for allegedly choking a female teammate at a cheerleading camp.

Fox News reported that the incident occurred at Ranger College in Texas after the female teammate allegedly called Averie Chanel Medlock “a man” and said that Medlock should not be on the team.

“Well guys I’m officially retired as a cheerleader as of last night at 5:30 AM. A girl on the team was being very disrespectful and told me I am a MAN with a PENIS and that [guys] should not be on the team,” the transgender cheerleader, Averie Chanel Medlock, reportedly posted on Facebook. ...

Medlock reportedly said the alleged attack on the female cheerleader was a joke. Nevertheless, law enforcement officials charged Medlock with assault and removed Medlock from the campus. ...

@mountaineer

This really ain't all that complicated. If you have a penis,you ARE a male.

You can call yourself a Buick if that's what makes you happy,but nobody is going to be able to drive you to work,and after the first time they fill you up with gasoline,you won't be around any more to bother anyone.

It's not that simple since women have had the AddaDicktoMe and men have had the Dickectomy surgeries, the one simple biological fact that can not be changed is chromosomes.

Does nothing to alter your DNA.

These people don't have a gender problem,they have a mind problem.

So,following THEIR logic,shouldn't they be cutting their heads off instead of their genitals?

The truly sad thing is that the suicide rate is almost the same for them pre and post transition. They need help that does not include the use of a scalpel.
