New Hobby

So, I've recently taken up a new hobby - Knifemaking. Or rather knife-handling, as I buy premade knife blades and add handles to them. Everybody says, are you gonna sell them? We'll see. I think they need to be a lot more creative and unique to get enough out of them to cover my time and materials. For now it's fun. And they make great Christmas presents!

Some examples...

We recently discovered that my Grandfather, Peter, was granted a patent on a bread slicing machine. He never mentioned it that Mom knows of, so he may have never known it was awarded as he had moved from the address it was registered to before the notification arrived. Cool!

Dreamin'

So, I would really like to have a house like this with a courtyard... only some place warm!
The Casita and Garage #1 would be my man-cave and workshop. Also would maybe make Garage #2 a pull-through.

Dear Mr. Pope,
We regret to inform you that you do not qualify for pension benefits... well, you would if we had a pension plan... but we never anticipated needing one. We understand the Rome Wal-mart is hiring greeters. Thank you for your inquiry.
Best wishes in your future endeavors,
Vatican HR Dept.

A PRIEST AND A RABBI

A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.

After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked,
“Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?”
The rabbi responded, “Yes, that is still one of our laws.”
The priest then asked, “Have you ever eaten pork?”
To which the rabbi replied,
“Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest,
“Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?”
The priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith”
The rabbi then asked him,
“Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?”
The priest replied,
“Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my Faith.”

The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, and sat thinking, for about five minutes.

Finally, the rabbi said,
“Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?”
