Distinction Between Guts and Balls

Here’s an awesome giggle from our Meredith’s Jack over at New Twist, After All These Years. 
 
Distinction Between Guts and Balls…As in that guy really has guts or he really has balls.
 

There is a distinction between Guts and Balls.  We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls, but do you really know the difference between them?
 

In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions: 

GUTS  - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: 

'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'

 

BALLS  - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the Balls to say:

'You're next, Chubby.'

 

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. 
 

Medically speaking there is no difference in the outcome... 
 

Both result in death.

Woman Gives Best Reply Ever To Husband’s Wish Of Remarrying.
This Is Awesome!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night.

Now, I have a $750,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman.  It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great?

They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.

A Love Story

Here’s another one from our Meredith’s Jack over at New Twist, After All These Years.  It's an oldie and I have seen different variations of it over the years but still grin every time I see it.  Thanks Jack!

A SPAGHETTI LOVE  STORY

For  several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.

One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he said he would pay her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.  Furthermore, if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.

She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.

To keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him a post card and write 'Spaghetti' on the back.  He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.


One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. 

'Honey, she said, 'you received a very strange post card today.' 

'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later,' he said.


The wife obeyed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written:
Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
Three with meatballs, two without.
Send extra sauce.

Are These People Serious?
