A tired young doctor got off a night shift at the hospital and stopped into a bar called “Dick’s” across the street for a drink.

“Hey what can I get you?” asked Dick.

“How about a daiquiri?”

The bartender makes a drink and slides it down the bar.

He takes a sip and loves it. “Whoa that’s great. What’s your secret?”

“A little bit of almond extract. Gives it a little something extra.” The two hit it off and a lifelong friendship develops.

One night the doctor enters and like clockwork the bartender goes to make his favorite drink only to realize that all the almond extract is gone. Thinking on his feet he substitutes it with a little hickory on hand.

The doctor takes a sip. A little confused, he takes another…

“Is this an almond daiquiri, Dick?”

“No, it’s a hickory daiquiri, Doc.”

Way back when the West was full of towns that as yet had no names, John and his son were travelling westward with their friend Al.

Al had told John that his only goal in life was to have a town named after him. He had also told the boy, who was a very very polite young man who said, “Yes, Sir.”

One day Al was terribly ill and could not travel any more. He told John, "Just leave me here so I won’t slow you down. But be sure not to forget … _Name A Town After Me._ "

“Yeah, sure, Al. I won’t forget.”

Next morning as John and his boy trudged on westward Al shouted one more time, “Name a town after me!”

Then he heard the boy’s voice from the distance saying, “I’ll make sure he does it, Mr. Buquerque.”

You may never alter the words inside a quote box for ANY reason, ever. That is a hard and fast rule here and must be obeyed at all times.

Parts of a quote box may be cut out for brevity, e.g. reducing it to the one paragraph to which you are replying, but any alteration of any kind is totally forbidden.

Do not do this again.

Thanks

Two businessmen meet on the beach in Florida, both obviously recently retired. They bring each other up to date on their lives:

1st businessman: “My business was killing me. The suppliers were shipping shoddier and shoddier merchandise. The customers were always coming back with complaints. The taxes kept going up and up. The only thing that saved me was that the store caught on fire one night. I took the insurance money and retired.”

2nd businessman: “I was pretty much in the same situation. Then there was a torrential rain, and my business was flooded out. I also took the insurance money and retired.”

1st businessman: “Just between us ---- who do you contact to arrange for a flood?”

The rule is absolute. Furthermore, if you have a problem with moderation, you must take it to the ATMB thread. Do not argue with moderator instructions in any forum other than ATMB.

You can copy/paste and edit to your heart’s content, but you can’t put the result inside Quote tags. You may not attribute something to someone that they did not actually write.

HE DIDN’T DO IT FOR DECEPTIVE PURPOSES! That was the reason the rule was instituted. All bob\_2 did was make the joke easier to read and understand. Where is the malicious intent?

If he hadn’t used the quote feature, it would have been kosher, correct?
