Bubba: His Story

I got the email from a friend, and thought I would post this here… I thought it was funny. Yet it cured him with his problem he faced and save money … This is Bubba below. You will know why and how it did cure him and save money when you hear his story…

His Story:

Bubba went to a psychiatrist.

“I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.”

“Just put yourself in my hands for one year,” said the shrink. “Come talk to me three times a week, and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”

“How much do you charge?”
“Eighty dollars per visit, replied the doctor.”
“I’ll sleep on it,” said Bubba.

Six months later the doctor met Bubba on the street. “Why didn’t you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?” asked the psychiatrist.

“Well Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!”

“Is that so! And how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed! – Ain’t nobody under there now !!!”

Food Product photos

Last week, I was surfing on different blogs…and I found two food products below… that I have not seen them before… well one may be unpleasant.

I have tried the Choc. Chip waffles. They are good. However, this one looks like a corn dog, but it is pancake and sausage. I like corn dogs. I don’t see one like that on the frozen counter. I would love to try it one day when it comes to this area. It looks delicious. It does not need a fork and a knife. You can dip it in the syrup sauce and eat. Easy! I like that.

This one what I talk about unpleasant. It surprised me that Beyers made this ad. Beyers is an ice cream company. I don’t know what to say about this one. Lickable to which? Girls or ice cream? Take your pick. Do you think it is a good ad? I don’t think so!

Nice Bookshelf…

It is a beautifully work. I love wood shelves. It is more natural. I like the way it designs. It is simple.

You know .. it can be folded somehow… maybe not exactly folded, but it can turn to something else… I never thought of it, but it is quite interesting. Please click this image and it will take you to a new window what it looks like after.

After you look at it, does it sound a bit creepy… I think it does … but it is the idea of being creative. You can put all books in that and move… I wonder what would they think when they see one carrying to the moving truck. They might get the wrong idea…

I would not ever imagine wanting it after using again and again…ewww… even worse, dipped in warm milk, I am sure it smells stink after a while… Yet It amazes me how they do back in 16th century. I wonder what kind of material it was.

.::Would You Take That Bet?::.

Suppose if someone asks you as a man to bet for one hundred grand to have a breast implant and keep for a year, would you take that bet?

Someone already did in 1997. I was completely digusted when I read about that in Maxim Magazine tonight… He is a minor celebrity now.

True story…gambler Brian Zembic took a bet for $100,000 that he wouldn’t get breast implants and keep them for a year. Some surgery, a couple of 38Cs and 12 months later, he collected on his wager. Of course, when they interviewed him four months later, he still hadn’t taken them out. “It’s kind of fun to have them,” he admitted.

(The author of the Maxim article, Michael Konik, has also published an a book called “The Man With the $100,000 Breasts and Other Gambling Stories,” which contains the article and another picture.)

Pictures of Brian and his breast implants:

in Star magazine

In Maxim Magazine

He said in the current Maxim magazine why he still has it, as quoted:

‘So he did. To everyone’s astonishment, he forked out a few gran for a pair of C-cups. That was in 1997. Eight years ago. When Titanic came out. Yet today he’s still got the tits.

You know why? Because I can’t afford to have the damn things taken out” He’s grinning. “No, seriously, it’s because I hate operations. That general anesthetic, it makes me so sick. And now I’ve had them in so long, there’s all this scar tissue underneath…”‘

I doubt he will have it removed now or ever because he admitted that it is fun to have them. He said that girls sucked on his nipple. Mmm, he must have a ton of fun.

Now answering my own question: would I do it? NO! I would not. I like what I have. Thank you very much. I don’t care for 100,000 dollars.
