Have you ever wondered who first uttered the phrase:



"You Gotta Be Shittin Me?" It wasn't a MARINE, SOLDIER or SAILOR

Well, it just so happens to have originated through the Father of Our country, way back when George Washington was crossing the Delaware River with his troops.

There were 33 (remember this number) in Washington's boat. It was extremely dark and storming furiously and the water was tossing them about.

Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal Peters (remember this name) and stationed him at the front of the boat with a lantern. He ordered him to keep swinging it, so they could see where they were heading.

Corporal Peters, through driving rain and cold, continued swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth.

Then a big gust of wind and a wave hit and threw Corporal Peters and his lantern into the Delaware. Washington and his troops searched for nearly an hour trying to find Corporal Peters, but to no avail. All of them felt terrible, for the Corporal had been one of their favorites.

Sometime later, Washington and his troops landed on the other side, wet and totally exhausted. He rallied the troops and told them that they must go on.

Another hour later, one of his men said, 'General, I see lights ahead.' They trudged toward the lights and came upon a huge house.

What they didn't know was that this was a house of ill repute, hidden in the forest to serve all who came.

General Washington pounded on the door, his men crowding around him.

The door swung open, and much to his surprise stood a beautiful woman...

A huge smile came across her face, to see so many men standing there.

Washington was the first to speak, 'Madam, I am General George Washington and these are my men. We are tired, wet, exhausted, and desperately need warmth and comfort.'

Again, the Madam looked at all the men standing there, and with a broad smile on her face, said, 'Well, General, you have come to the right place. We can surely give you warmth and comfort. How many men do you have?'

Washington replied, 'Well, Madam, there are 32 of us, without Peters.'

And the Madam said, 'You gotta be shittin me...'
Have you ever wondered who first uttered the phras... (show quote)


It put a smile on my face!
I'm sure the madam soon found out there were more peters than she could handle.

If you haven't seen this before, it's worth a watch.

Very appropriate in these trying times on our college campuses and a reminder
to those meat-head students that they live in America and not in a third world country.

Just retired and now hope to find time to learn to master flounder, and speckled trout fishing


Congratulations on your retirement. You'll find out that you won't have as much free time as you think.....after the honey dos and fishing, fix that thing and fishing, paint that other thing and fishing.
After I retired I wondered how I managed to work full time when there were so many other tings to do.

I'm in Brownsville, TX and fish out of South Padre Island. If you're ever down this way, look me up and do some surf fishing.
Cheers

Hey Ranger, here’s an option. The US just launched over a hundred defense missiles to defend Israel in the last two days alone! Each anti missile costs us over a million dollars each. Our allies also deployed another twenty, at the same cost! In two days that’s over a hundred and twenty million dollars! We have also launched over four hundred against the the foes in Lebanon trying to protect shipping trade in the Red Sea. About another four hundred million dollars, not including the cost of our operations!
Our brain dead president has allocated over 6 billion dollars in humanitarian aid to Iran. Simple option, for each million dollar rocket that we incur we deduct it from his aid package!

How about stopping aid to Iran and other countries that like to shout "death to America"?

Wasn't the name HAL, IBM in disguise?
IBM are the letters that follow HAL = H(I), A(B), L (M)

what happened to the Roman empire?


Smitty, now look what you did. You made me Google it!

I thought I knew what happened but this is what really happened:
"In 476 AD, Romulus, the last of the Roman emperors in the west, was o*******wn by the Germanic leader Odoacer, who became the first Barbarian to rule in Rome"

.....and then the neighborhood went to CHIT!

We are now as a nation experiencing major diseases that we as a nation have not experienced for the last 50 years. We now have a major outbreak of whooping cough along with a major outbreak of measles in our nation. Most troubling is the rise in polio infections. A disease that was eradicated over fifty years ago in our nation!
Why is this occurring ? Polio was eradicated in our nation over fifty years ago. But now it’s on the uptake!! Immigration as allowed many to enter our country with no regard to their v******tion status. They are now sleeping in city and state sponsored facilities sleeping in totally uncontrolled environments. With zero proof of v******tion status. There children are allowed to now to enter the public school system with no prove of the
Required v******tions that all U.S. students require! Talk about a cesspool of further calamity!All about the politics! The untold story that no politician will speak about!

And to make matters worse, irresponsible politicians are now asking citizens to give them shelter in their homes!

A high school friend of mine recently snapped this photo on the Delaware river (New Jersey side.) Thought is was pretty awesome. The American Shad migration is on and the osprey are taking full advantage.


Beautiful picture and timing. Worthy of an appropriate mounting frame.

My one piece of advice I already knew. It was from my father. If you fish offshore make sure you have a compass and know how to use it. Electronics can fail anytime. Check you direction on the way out and add 180 Deg. to that number and you'll get home safely.


Excellent suggestion Gordon, even if you're hiking.
You've got to pay attention, regardless.

Oh that last one would be so tempting.

A friend wants to know would that be considered assault with battery?


Only if it's a car battery.

Here are some statistics for Biden’s three years according to Fox News. Definitely still have the immigration issue, but these numbers look good. IMO.
