Uh Oh!!! This makes three in a row. Juliana ought to be thrilled :) This is me.



You Are Positive




You are the likable type. It would be hard not to like someone as sunny and upbeat as you! You are actively engaged in the world around you. You don’t stray too far from your friends. You try to make every moment fun, and you refuse to let life get you down. You savor a good chuckle. You are attracted to people who are excited about life. You like to surround yourself with joy.

From our anonymous jokester Bill at The Old Fart’s Blog we get the following. Mahalo Mr. Anonymous.

THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON FACTS

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. ‘Since you’ve been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.’

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ‘ I want to hang out with God.’

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, ‘Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ‘
Arthur said, ‘Yeah, that’s me…’

God commented: ‘Well, what’s the big deal in inventing something that’s pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can’t run without a road?’

Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, ‘Excuse me, but aren’t you the inventor of woman?’

God said, ‘Ah, yes.’

‘Well,’ said Arthur, ‘professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !
1. There’s too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much

4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

‘Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,’ replied God, ‘hold on.’

God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.

The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

‘Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,’ God said to Arthur, ‘but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours’.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

  1. ROTFLMBO (loose suspension and all)

  2. Oh, and I forgot to say: I’m little miss sunshine, too! Just like you, Thom…. ;)

  3. Surprise, surprise! I’m little miss sunshine, too. I was afraid to read the Harley Davidson piece to closely because I have all of those flaws I’m afraid!! Have a great evening, my friend!

    • LOL welcome to the club and don’t ever be afraid. We all have flaws and some time they are excellent to share with the world :)

  4. Good grief, what a collection of illustrations! But I like God’s last word on it.

    I’m “energetic”, and what a load of crapola that was.
    :-P

  5. your post tickles…
    ;)

  6. Waaaah! Love all the animations!!!!You are the best!

  7. My friend, you are indeed a sunny person.

    Great punchline.


  8. You Are Kind


    You have a broad perspective on life. You are very understanding and forgiving.
    You prefer a quiet, peaceful existence. You don’t like noise in your head – or in the world around you.

    For you, there’s no such thing as too much calm. Having time to think is a gift that you treasure.

    I’ve got some complaints about the front and rear suspension myself!

  9. LOL….I’ve read this before…and love it. But!—never had the animated story before. What a treat to have a giggle so early in the a.m.

    Thom Regarding my post today: No….I love the fountain. It’s great. And the arbor will be really nice. I think. It’s a whole ‘nother story I ended with today that irks me still today. About demolition of a rotted old building that needed torn down…and the city fought with several groups. Even it came to a vote of the citizens…to tear it down. Then the group that was fighting went to AUSTIN [the capital of TEXAS] and got an injunction to delay the demolition….costing us taxpayers thousands of dollars because of it. Long story!!!

  10. whew… thank god there’s no illustration for #4… LOL! this was rocking good, thom! aren’t all those flaws true??? but then… god’s findings really cracked me up. yebaaaaa!!!

    • and by the way mr. sunny smiley, keep spreading that sunshine. you make a lot of people happy. laughing, in fact.

      thanks so much for that heartwarming comment on my haiku post. :-*

      • ROTFLMAO!!! I just posted this the way it came to me. I so wanted to put something up for number 4 but thought nawww..better not Can you imagine what it would be LOL. Glad you like the funny’s I think we need that every day whether you agree with it or disagree…a good laugh is a great way to start the day. I loved your haiku :) It was brilliant :)

  11. And I am supposedly Compassionate….let us hope that holds up as I approach today’s funeral for Auntie and her crazy, bossy cousin. :)

    Thanks for making me grin…even if that rear suspension thing feels a little TOO familiar. :)

  12. Oh Thom, you are a bad, bad boy!! I’m gonna try that smiley test….

  13. Smiley test…
    “You are True”
    for me.

    Raining here… but at least it is a bit cooler.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog Thom. Always value your comments, they are so kind.

    Hope the skies ‘sunny up’ for you!

    • :) Very fitting :) Hope the day clears up for you as well but if it’s cooler that’s always good as long as it isn’t too cool LOL :) Have a good one :)

  14. you sure know how to make an old joke a riot! ;)

    the only smiley that appealed to me somehow was the sunny one. oh well… no wonder as only get to see the sun once in a blue moon :(

  15. I’ve always said that God has a strange sense of humor…

  16. You are the likable type. It would be hard not to like someone as sunny and upbeat as you!
    You are actively engaged in the world around you. You don’t stray too far from your friends.

    You try to make every moment fun, and you refuse to let life get you down. You savor a good chuckle.
    You are attracted to people who are excited about life. You like to surround yourself with joy.

    I’ll take that!

  17. You Are Wild

    You are unpredictable, kooky, and a total handful. You are the brightest bulb in the room.

    You are a wild ride. If people hitch their wagon to your star, then they better brace themselves.

    In life, you are a powerhouse that can’t be stopped. You are a total idea person.
    You are always challenging the status quo and innovating. You don’t accept anything as given.

    Do the men who ride women while they ride their Harleys get extra points?

  18. You Are True

    You make everyone around you relax. You just have a naturally easygoing vibe.
    You are completely genuine, and you appreciate every person’s unique gifts.

    You love life, and you are quite content. When you smile or laugh, you mean it!
    Friends consider you to have a good heart, and for you, there is no higher complement.
