JOKE OF THE DAY
A girl realized that she had grown hair between her legs.
She got worried and asked her mom about that hair.
Her mom calmly said: "That part where the hair has grown is called Monkey, be proud that your monkey has grown hair." the girl smiled.
At dinner, she told her sister: "My monkey has grown hair."
Her sister smiled and said: "That’s nothing, mine is already eating bananas."

Snowbirds are coming.
Actually, they are already here. Next month they will be gathered in full force fricking up traffic with shitty driving and bumper stickers/license plate motto talking about how great the state they have fled from is.
I can wait until the end of January when it gets down into the high 40's and I can hear them start bitching about it being cold and how they might as well be back home. As if they are owed some level of temperature because they are snowbirds.

A couple is trying to have a kid
they haven't been able to have a child for over a year so they go see a doctor. He has them do all the tests, sperm, blood and so on.
After a week they get a call from the doctor's office, the results are in. So they go. The doctor comes in and sits down. He looks at the lab results, looks at them. Looks back at the lab results and then back at them again.
And then he says: "Gentlemen, you cannot be serious."

I had one of those, "man I can't wait to go to bed" nights last night, where, naturally, once I laid down I was more awake than if I had just got finished doing a Tony Montana sized mound of coke.
I think I'll just go with a tired and vaguely surly "morning" today.

In Florida we never really get a break. During the summer we get the rest of the south on vacation.
When I lived in Phoenix, it was really dead in the summer, which was nice. It was hot as balls, but traffic and people were no where near as dense. In the winter time, it was like the population almost doubled because of the snow birds.
If I was a snowbird, I'd go to Phoenix.

I don't have much of a southern accent(compared to most from the south anyway), but it does come out if you get mad and cursing.
