August… here we are again… another issue of the Ultimate
biker magazine in New York State… I’d like to start off by
saying that I’ve been having a blast going to all the rides
and events I can. I feel fortunate to be able to continue
to be going on rides and covering events. For those that
don’t already know, the ’72 ironhead chopper on June’s
cover and myself greeted mother earth and father asphalt
at 50 mph on Rt. 32 during one of the violent rainstorms
we had last month. The back end slid out and high sided
me on a twisty after hydro-planeing and we had rode an
asphalt slip-n slide for about 150 feet before finally coming
to rest. It was quite the adrenaline rush to say the least.
from Long Ireland Brewing Company, and lots of other
I’m ok, but the bike will need some work. My angels were
good stuff. There may be rooms and cottages left for those
looking out for me that day. I’m also lucky that my softail
that want to party hard and safe. Hope to see you there…
just came back from the shop the day before, so I’m still out
Until then, ride hard, be safe, and live each day as it may
riding. I’d like to address a couple things: Events & event
be your last… you never know… it just may be…
listings in the magazine. Please go to our website: www.
thunderroads-ny.com and submit your rides and events.
PEACE
We use the site to pull the events for the magazine, and
William C. Frohmiller
that is the ONLY way they will make it to print. Although we
(owner/editor)
would love to go to all the rides and events, our advertisers
and sponsor will always get priority for event coverage
(Another reason you should be advertising with us.). It
is our advertisers and sponsors that make the magazine
possible, so be sure to visit them and tell them you saw
their ad or event in Thunder Roads New York Magazine.
Without them, we could not exist. The Deadline for events
listing and advertising is always the 15th prior to going to
print, so get your ads and events in early.
I’d like to thank everyone who came out to our 1st TRM-
NY Bike or No Bike night at the Hoot Owl in Pine Bush. It
was a blast and everyone seemed to have a great time.
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for September 4th. We
are having a BBQ Bash at Valley Brook in Wurtsboro (201
Kingston Ave). Anthony K will be there along with Beer

How Comfortable
Is Your Ride?
By Kevin G. Charleville

It has been a rough winter with very few riding days;

however, change is not far off. I have been sort of planning
for a couple of trips coming up this year, one at the end of
May and one in September. I always try to visualize trips
that I have taken in the past, and try to think of things that
I would do differently. One thing that I learned from my
first long trip that I took was to purchase a more comfort-
able seat. I normally do not have back pain, but I did that
trip. I was concerned that purchasing a new seat would
not solve the problem. I was concerned that the manufac-
turer’s claim of a more comfortable seat could be false.
However, I was totally amazed and very satisfied of the dif-
ference it made. When I first started riding, a close friend
of mine from Memphis, Tennessee, told me something that
I think about often. He said, “That when a person rides,
they need to be as comfortable as possible to fully enjoy
the experience” Although quite an obvious thing to say,
it does make total sense. I can also see the safety factor
in this as well. Being uncomfortable on a bike can cause
you to not be as alert as one should be, because being
uncomfortable can cause distractions, mentally and physi-
cally. I have heard many riders, (riders and passengers)
complain of back pain over the years. Some have back
pain anyway, whether you ride or not, and some have
chronic problems from disease, previous accident, or even
stress. Whether going on a long ride or short, and you
experience back pain, here are some tips that may help
ease the stress on your back. Regular exercise with ab-
dominal and lower back muscle strengthening, talk to your
doc about back stretches you can perform, or just Google
back exercises and stretches. If you suffer from chronic
back pain, there are several over-the-counter medications
and prescription medications that may help your cause.
However, before you self medicate with over-the-counter
or prescription meds, please talk to your personal doc first,
because medications sometimes affect people in different
ways which could make for a dangerous situation. Finally,
there are many products out on the market to help make
our ride more comfortable. The best thing to do is try be-
fore you buy, and if that is not possible, read the reviews
about the products prior to making a decision. Ride free,
ride safe, stay warm, and please take care of the children.

TRUE COLORS
True Colors Motorcycle Club (TCMC) is
a family oriented club in the Hudson Val-
ley area. The Club is celebrating its 10th
anniversary this year. TCMC is about
good friends riding together and enjoy-
ing each other’s company in a safe and
fun environment. We pride ourselves in
being family friendly and appropriate for
children to participate in our events. Dur-
ing the non-riding season, we occasionally
get together for breakfast, lunch or dinner in a relaxed social
setting. We have meetings on the last Thursday of every
month at Cascarino’s restaurant in the Shop-Rite shopping
center in Montgomery. Meetings start at 7:00pm and typically
end around 9:00pm. Guests are welcome to attend.
TCMC was formed in 2000 with 7 members. Five of those
members were former members of another local Club. They
left that Club due to their dissatisfaction with the way that
Club was being run. Dave Naylor Sr. and J.J. Cleary are the
founding fathers of TCMC and the following were their goals in
starting the new motorcycle club:
-       To belong to a club that was run by the membership.
-       To belong to a club where all members were treated
fairly and equally.
-       To belong to a club where the club itself did not try to
financially profit from the membership.
-       To belong to a club that fostered and encouraged unity,
loyalty, honesty, and integrity within the membership.
The motto of our Club, “Remember your true colors are
not only worn on your back” is a quote that was taken from a
resignation letter to the former Club. It is an explanation that
although the members wore common colors on their jackets
as a statement of unity, the real measure of club brotherhood
is how you treat and respect one another. The name of our
Club came from this same quote. Our colors are of Uncle
Sam on a motorcycle. This representation is a proclamation
by the Club members that loyalty, integrity, unity and honesty
will be the basis of our interactions with our fellow True Colors
members. One of the first items of business in putting the
Club together was to get the blessing of the local Hell’s Angels
chapter. We met with them twice before they approved our
colors and approved of our operating as a motorcycle club
in their area. Their stipulation was that all of our members
join the AMA and an AMA member patch is visible wherever
our patch is worn. Dave and J.J. acted as co-chairmen until
the fall of 2001 at which time the Club had their first election
of officers. The membership elected Dave as President and
J.J. as Vice-President.
During this time, the
AMA chartered the
Club and the Club be-
came incorporated. In
2003, J.J. tried to take
the Club in a direction
more suited to non-
AMA (1%) Clubs and
not at all in line with
the Club’s established
By-Laws. His unsuc-
cessful efforts in this
regard resulted in him
and his wife resigning
from the Club. Five of
8 Thunder Roads New York August 2010
the original members are still in the Club.
Our membership growth has been intentionally slow. Our
goal is to maintain a smaller, close-knit club with no cliques.
We have chosen not to sponsor a poker run and our financial
stability is predicated on dues, a small yearly fundraiser or
two and a monthly 50/50 raffle. Although we support other
clubs in their charity events, we make a real effort to have a
lot of TCMC rides. As a Club, we have donated to the Mont-
gomery Food Pantry, the Walden Animal Shelter and we visit
the Montgomery Nursing Home every Christmas season and
distribute gifts to the residents. We also have two club parties
a year, our summer party and our Christmas party. This year
we have been invited to participate in the Montgomery Day
Parade for the second year in a row.
Men and women are both invited to apply for membership.
Dues are $50 per year with a one-time initiation fee of $75.
Once a member, there is no mandatory time commitment but
we do ask that members try to attend as many events as their
schedule allows. In TCMC, all members (men, women, Full
or Associate) are treated fairly and equally. The difference
between Full and Associate membership is the Full member
must have a motorcycle license while the Associate member
does not. Only a Full member may be President of the Club.
There may only be one Associate member on the Execu-
tive Board. All voting privileges are equal. We are currently
working on creating a Junior Membership for younger family
members. To become a member, one just needs to attend a
monthly meeting and submit an application for membership.
If you are accepted to be a probationary member, then a Full
member will be assigned as your sponsor to help you through
the probationary period.
I feel the Club lives up to the goals of the founding fathers.
We truly are a club devoted to having fun, treating each other
equally and with respect, we are run by the membership and
all members are considered in financial matters of the Club.
We believe strongly in maintaining unity, loyalty, honesty
and integrity within our membership. With these things as a
foundation, we try to always
have fun whether riding or
not.
Anyone interested
in riding with the Club or
coming to a monthly meting
should contact any active
member or Joan Naylor at
(845) 361-1298 or contact
us through the website at
www.truecolorsmotorcycle-
club.org.

SWAP MEET FOR THE CURE
I need to start by giving a HUGE
thanks to everyone that came out to
the SWAP MEET FOR THE CURE
that took place at Latham Circle Mall,
Latham NY on July 10th 2010. Pro-
ceeds were donated to the Breast
Cancer Research Foundation of New
York. We had a very rainy start while
setting up, but by 11:00 am the weather
broke right on time. The day heated up
which brought out the bikes. We had a
great crowd.
There was something for everyone at
this event. We had face painting and a
bounce house for the kids. (Although,
it was highjacked by some local hot-
ties!) Later in the day, the Section 518
boys tore up the asphalt with numerous
stunt shows showing off some incred-
ible tricks. Thank you to all the vendors
and sponsors for your participation. It
was an honor to have you all attend
the FIRST ANNUAL SWAP MEET FOR
THE CURE. I can only hope to see
you all again next year. It was You that
made the show!
My favorite part of the event was that
the whole day was drama free! There
were MC’s from all sides of the spec-
trum that paid their respects and came
out to the show. Never a bad or rotten
word was spoken. I wouldn’t have it
any other way. Thank you all for your
support.
I especially need to thank Thunder
Roads Magazine, Lamination Preser-
vation & Mr. Marine Bike. We all had a
blast hanging out all day and into the
night. Big Bill from Thunder Roads, you
are the man with the plan! Thanks to
you, I got the word out to all the readers
of your magazine. Thanks again bro.
Thank you to Dino Petrocelli Photog-
raphy (518) 785-7656 that took all the

One of the best I have ever had the
pleasure of working with. To Ismile Stu-
dios: Bob, Steph and Staff… WOW! I
mean, WOW!!! The father’s day photos
you took of my daughters were amaz-
ing. Then the pictures from the show,
edited and printed live on location and
shot from a portable green screen were
excellent! I have to say it one more
time, WOW!!!

Anthony K
Biography
When it comes to balance, Anthony K  has about as much as your going to get in this business. Beginning at one end of the spectrum with girls, groups,  liquor,
touring etc. with some of the biggest names in the biz and all the debauchery that goes with it, to the other end of the spectrum where the dark, lonely scared
and almost suicidal side where many do not dare to go. Anthony K has no fears anymore. He has experienced them all. He has recently finished his most
recent country/rock recording in Nashville, Tn. with a who’s who in music. The CD is scheduled  to be released in 2010. There is also a TV show which Anthony
K will be a part of scheduled to begin filming in summer/fall of 2010. The first six episodes will be filmed in Atlantic city, NJ with the remainders to be filmed in
Las Vegas, NV.Back in elementary school when he performed on a stage in front of his schoolmates in the cafeteria and got a standing ovation, he new his
destiny in life was music. Forming bands and performing live through his teen years then moving to NY when he was 21 was just part of the big picture. Anthony
K even became a DJ for one of the top radio stations in the country. He lives, eats, and breathes music. At times he has to be removed from the stage because
as long as the audience is into it, he’ll play all night. Anthony K signed with Rock Solid Music Group an artist development, management and record label in
2003. In 2010 he signed with Avalanche Music Group to enter into the country market. Anthony K now shares his life experiences and feelings through his
recordings and live appearances around the world with his fans and gathering new ones along the way.

Discography
The new self titled country 6 pak release scheduled for 2010.
“The Real Deal” pop/singer songwriter
“Wilted” CD from Anthony K’s rock band  project HUMAN X  which has received worldwide airplay and sales and is available everywhere great music is sold.

The SUNDOWN Band has been performing their brand of southern rock and roll cover and tribute shows since 1976.
If even just a few years of playing music you love is a reason to smile, then Ronnie Pauls, founding member and lead guitarist of
Westchester, NY’s well known southern rock band, SUNDOWN, must be grinning from ear to ear. He’s been performing his brand of
southern rock music for an unbelievable 31 years ! After the bands inception in 1976, SUNDOWN started playing high school dances
and college keg parties all over the Westchester area. After a few years and some lineup changes, Ronnie finally hooked up with
keyboardist Jimmy Milito, who remains the driving vocal force of the band today. Realizing their love and commitment to southern rock
and blues, they finally hit the local club scene in June of 1980. The band played such legendary Westchester clubs like The Fore N’
Aft (North and South), The Crazy Horse Saloon (where they meet with long time friends Vincent Pastore of “The Sopranos” fame, and
Matt and Kevin Dillon, Bottoms Up, Ben Dovers, the original Lone Star Cafe in New York City, and the “New Rochelle North Ave Strip” of IONA college bars
like Characters, Striders, Gary’s, and The Beachmont. The band also donated their time to many benefits and charities. They rocked their hearts out to packed
rooms for the next few years. Soon they were working four nights a week and had started to build a legion of fans that still come to see them today. Many “life
long” fans now bring their teenage kids to experience the band perform their style of classic southern rock tunes. Through the 80’s, Ronnie and Jimmy were
faced with personnel changes until 1989 when they opened for The Outlaws with their tightest act to that date, which now included guitarist Steve Mitchell. After
another few years, Ronnie, Jimmy and Steve switched the rhythm section and recruited Fred Andreassi on
bass. They continued to work for another few years when, due to outside commitments, another personnel
change was made. Drummer Keith “Bam Bam” Michaels was recruited in 1998 to add the final piece. This
current lineup is The SUNDOWN Band’s best yet. These local “southern” New York talents play their hearts
out and perform their own rendition of classic Southern Rock tunes in the local club circuit every weekend.
One of the highest complements ever paid to the band came from a music industry executive with Lynyrd
Skynyrd. After listining to a live CD of SUNDOWN, he sent the following email to the band: “It is nice to
FINALLY hear a band “PLAYING” Southern Rock and not obsessed with “COPYING” Southern Rock. 99%
of the bands who play these songs are so damn obsessed with copying the songs note for damn note
that they lose fact of what it is they are doing. They sound stiff and there is no “LIFE” in the music they are
trying so hard to copy. The musicians in SUNDOWN obviously are ENJOYING playing the songs and are
not just covering the songs, but are PLAYING them and it shows.” The SUNDOWN Band performs unique
renditions of southern rock classics from bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchet and more. The level
of showmanship is a treat to see. The highlight of their shows are the duel guitar talents of Ronnie and Steve, which leaves audiences in awe!

RALLY RESCINDS DISCRIMINATORY NO-COLORS POLICY
Following a “Call to Action” issued by the U.S. Defenders, a
politically active arm of the Confederation of Clubs, a major
motorcycle rally in the red hills of Oklahoma has rescinded
a “No Colors” policy that would have prohibited entry to any-
one wearing a patch, including HOG, ABATE and any club.
The Hawg Lakes Motorcycle Rally published a no colors
policy on their fliers, ads and website that quickly stirred
an uproar across the country, due largely to an e-mail “Call
to Action” conducted by the U.S. Defenders and the Okla-
homa Confederation of Clubs. Brook “Xman” Bullock, State
Secretary of ABATE of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Defender
Rep, sent out a nationwide call to action to “Please take
your money and support to BIKER FRIENDLY rallies and
events, not 2010 Hawg Lakes. Pass the Word.” According
to the e-mail; “2R” (ABATE of Oklahoma State Coordinator)
personally talked on the phone with Hawg Lakes and “the
guy in charge said he was absolutely unwilling to change
his policy. ABATE, HOG, BACA, and not any Club, no colors
of any kind will be allowed.” Mark “Bus” Buskirk, Oklahoma
Commander, U.S. Defenders wrote “Hawg Lakes Rally on
July 29th will not allow you to wear your club colors on their
property. So we the motorcycling community need to not go.
They are stomping on our rights of freedom of speech.”
Within days, the Call to Action was called off when Tiger
Mike Revere, ABATE of Oklahoma Liaison to the OK Con-
federation of Clubs and member of the National Coalition of
Motorcyclists board of directors, reported that; “The Hawg
Lakes event has RESCINDED its No-Colors Ban -- Score
one for our side!!”
MYRTLE BEACH SUED AGAIN OVER NOISE LAW
As Myrtle Beach prepares to adjust some of the 14 ordi-
nances passed in 2008 to quell the May motorcycle rallies,
including their city-wide helmet law and four other ordi-
nances being invalidated by the state’s high court, it faces
yet another legal challenge that could require even more
changes. Some residents and other motorcycle enthusiasts
are suing the city again, this time hoping the Horry County
Circuit Court will overturn the city’s noise ordinance. Under
the final version of the noise ordinance amendment, which
gained final approval in March 2009, no vehicles except
emergency vehicles can be louder than 89 decibels when
measured from 20 inches away from the exhaust pipe, at
a 45-degree angle, while the vehicle is idling. Bikers also
must have an EPA issued sticker that state their bike meets
federal noise reduction laws according to the municipal
ordinance, but not South Carolina state law. On June 15th,
Virginia-based Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) attorney
Tom McGrath filed suit in Horry County Circuit Court on
behalf of local motel owner William O’Day, Horry County
ABATE, and others who feel the city overstepped their
authority in enacting muffler regulations that conflict with
existing state law. McGrath’s challenge to the city’s helmet
ordinance prevailed in the S.C. Supreme Court, with all five
justices unanimously agreeing that the state has already
covered the issue of who has to wear motorcycle helmets
20 Thunder Roads New York August 2010
and that the city could not make its own rules because
there must be a uniform traffic code. The noise ordinance
wasn’t included in the case the high court recently ruled
on, he said, because the focus was on the helmet law.
“They were issuing tickets left and right [under the helmet
law],” he said. “No one we know had gotten a ticket under
the noise ordinance. It’s still sitting there, and the city has
bought decibel meters, so we assume they are planning to
use them. We felt we shouldn’t let the ordinance stay on the
books.” McGrath said he felt it best to give the Circuit Court
the first chance to make the decision in this case. “Let’s
see if the judge will follow the Supreme Court’s opinion,” he
told the Sun News. Meanwhile, the city of Myrtle Beach has
mailed out refunds to those who paid fines when they re-
ceived tickets for not wearing motorcycle helmets. The city
repaid nearly $14,000 in fines for 141 tickets it issued when
the improper helmet law was in effect.
MICHIGAN’S REJEUVENATED HELMET LAW REPEAL
EFFORTS HB 4747 to repeal the helmet law was passed
by the Michigan House of Representatives in March, and
now awaits action in the Senate. Even though similar
legislation has been approved by the state legislature the
past two sessions, only to be vetoed by outgoing Gover-
nor Jennifer Granholm (D) both times, two out of the three
gubernatorial contenders to replace her support giving adult
motorcyclists freedom of choice. Herb Rials who lobbies
for ABATE of Michigan claims to have the support of every
candidate for governor minus one, he told FOX News in
Detroit. According to the legislative analysis of HB 4747,
proponents of voiding the 40-year old helmet law argue it is
a civil rights issue. “Wearing a helmet, or not wearing one,
they say, should be a matter of personal choice and not
a legal mandate.” Supporters of repeal legislation, which
includes ABATE, the Michigan Confederation of Clubs and
both Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls, also argue that
removing the helmet requirement would increase motor-
cycle traffic in Michigan and thereby stimulate the state’s
sagging economy. “Our outdated helmet law is a barrier
to motorcycle tourism,” argues ABATE’s Jim Rhoades.
“Michigan is the only Great Lakes state with a mandatory
helmet law. Surveys repeatedly show that an overwhelming
majority of motorcyclists in neighboring states refuse to visit
Michigan because of this law.” According to a study done by
Michigan Consultants in Lansing, Michigan is losing millions
of tourism dollars and approximately $1.2 billion in overall
economic benefit because of this law. So if the House and
Senate vote next year to kill the helmet law as they have in
years past, there’s a good chance that a governor’s signa-
ture, not a veto, will be attached to the measure.

was invited by Pipe of “Scorch ‘n Pipes Cycles” to go out
to the Monticello Motor Club for the day and meet with
Smokin’ Joe (Joseph Tirado) and hang out while the
bikes raced around the track. What a treat it was.
Launched in July 2008, MMC is a private, mem-
bership only, motorclub/racetrack situated on 650
beautiful hilltop acres; MMC offers a new road course
facility with 4.1 miles of race-grade paving that forms
a dozen course configurations, including a 3.5 mile
“Full Course” with 18 turns, 1.5 miles of straights and 450
feet of total elevation change. They have incorporated exciting elements from
some of the world’s most famous tracks while delivering a circuit unique in
design and character. More than just a track, the MMC is a luxury destina-
tion with an array of services and amenities. In addition to the stunning and
challenging circuit, designed by preeminent track architect Bruce Hawkins
and race legend Brian Redman, they offer professional instruction, track-side
support, premium car storage, fine dining and five-star service. Members such
as Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Gordon, and Chris Dyson find MMC the perfect setting
to practice, learn and explore new limits. The MMC is open from April through
November. Although started as an Elite Car Club, MMC has included motor-
cycle training and racing. And this is where Joseph Tirado comes in.
Smokin’ Joe, of Team Pro-Motion, CCS Championship Racing (#959) has
been a Certified Coaching Instructor for 15 years. He also is a Champion-
ship Series Racer. He won the 2003 Formula USA CCS in the Poconos on
a ‘97 GSXR 750. Coming out of retirement after 6 years, he is now racing a
Buell 1125R with special gearing and a custom swing arm. At 52, he is still
competing and eager to put Buell into the winner’s circle. He may just be
the man to do it. Smokin’ Joe uses a Yamaha R1 for coaching and Keith, his
pit crew leader, keeps his bikes fueled up and in top shape. He coaches 10
sessions/day from 8:30-5:00 on selected weekends. Training the likes of up
and coming: Daniel Landan, a 21 yr old Team Pro-Motion racer. Daniel has
been riding dirt bikes since he was 9 yrs old, and now is learning from Joe
how to ride his 2007 GSXR at amazing speeds around the course safely and
competitively. Smokin Joe’s goal is to: “teach to ride fast with priority of keep-
ing students safe”. In fact, all of Joe’s bikes have a hand painted angel that
his wife Linda painted for luck, safety, and in memory of his mom. Joe says:
“Wheelies, Stunt riding, Street racing, etc. in public is wrecking the image of
the sport...If I can rescue one out of the streets that’s one more we can save...
take it to the track...”
It was a wonderful day at the track, and I’d like to thank Smokin’ Joe, Daniel
Landan & The Moticello Motor Club for their hospitality and also thank Pipe
of Scorch ‘n Pipes for the invitation. I look forward to going back to the track
soon. It’s probably one of the best kept secrets of Monticello.

 “Squiggy” and his wife, Joletta, are having hard financial times, so
they decide she’ll become a hooker. She’s not quite sure what to do,
so “Squig” says, “Stand in front of that bar and pick up a guy. Tell
him a hundred bucks. If you’ve got a question, I’ll be parked around
the corner.” She’s not there five minutes when a guy pulls up and
says, “How much? Joletta says, “A hundred dollars.” Guy says
“Dang, All I’ve got is thirty.” She says, ”Hold on.” She runs back to
Squiggy and says, “What can he get for thirty dollars?” Squig pon-
ders and says, “A hand job”. She runs back and tells the guy all he
gets for thirty dollars is a hand job. He says okay, so she gets in the
car, he unzips his pants, and out pops an astonishing HUGE pecker.
Joletta stares at it for a minute, and then says, “I’ll be right back.”
She runs back around the corner and says breathlessly, “Squig, you
reckon you can you lend this guy seventy bucks?”.
A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became
friends. Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They
discovered that they both brought chicken sandwiches every day!
This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day he
noticed that her sandwich wasn’t a chicken sandwich. He said, “Hey,
how come you’re not eating chicken, don’t you like it anymore?”
She said “I love it but I have to stop eating it.” “Why?” he asked. She
pointed to her lap and said “Cause I’m starting to grow little feathers
down there!”. “Let me see” he said. “Okay”, and she pulled up her
skirt. He looked and said, “That’s right. You are! Better not eat any
more chicken.” He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day
he brought peanut butter. He said to the little girl, “I have to stop eat-
ing chicken sandwiches, I’m starting to get feathers down there too!”
She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his pants for her. She
raised her eyebrow at him and said “Oh my, it’s way too late for you!
You’ve already got the neck and the gizzards.”
The football coach noticed that his star tackle, “Boner”, had so many
women hanging around that he couldn’t possibly handle all of them.
So one day he asked Boner “Just what the hell is your secret, kid?”
Boner replies, “Well, Coach, whenever I’m about to have sex, I always
whip it out and bang it on the dresser like a hammer. That numbs
it up, and I can screw ‘em till they beg me to stop!” The coach went
home early one day and went to the bedroom. He heard his wife in
the shower. Seeing a window of opportunity, he tore off his clothes
and started bangin’ the hell out of his “wanker” on the dresser. His
wife stuck her head out of the shower and yells out, “That you Boner,,
baby?”

This morning on Hwy. 12, I looked over to my left and there was a
woman in a brand new Cadillac doing 65 mph with her face up next
to her rear view mirror, putting on her eyeliner. I looked away for
a couple seconds...to continue shaving; and when I looked back
she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup. As a
man, I don’t scare easily, but she scared me so much; I dropped my
electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In
all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees
against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone away from
my ear, which fell into the coffee between my legs! splashed and
burned “Big Jim and the Twins”, ruined the damn phone, soaked my
trousers, and disconnected an important call. Damn women drivers!
Ma was in the kitchen fiddlin’ around when she hollers out....”Pa!
You need to go out and fix the outhouse!” Pa replies, “There ain’t
nuthin’ wrong with the outhouse.” Ma yells back, “Yes there is, now
git out there and fix it.” So......Pa mosies out to the outhouse, looks
around and yells back, “Ma! There ain’t nuthin’ wrong with the
outhouse! “ Ma replies, “Stick yur head in the hole!” Pa yells back,
“I ain’t stickin’ my head in that hole!” Ma says, “Ya have to stick yur
head in the hole to see what to fix.” So with that, Pa sticks his head
in the hole, looks around and yells back, “Ma! There ain’t nuthin’
wrong with this outhouse!” Ma hollers back, “Now take your head
out of the hole!” Pa proceeds to pull his head out of the hole, then
starts yelling, “Ma! Help! My beard is stuck in the cracks in the toilet
seat!” To which Ma replies, “Hurt’s, don’t it ?!”
When little Tony Soprano returned home from elementary school,
in his youth, he told his Dad he got an F in math. “Why?” asks the
father? “The teacher asked ‘How much is 2x3’, I said “6’”, replies
Tony. “But that’s right!” says his dad. “Yeah, but then she asked
me “How much is 3x2?’” “What’s the f***ing difference?” asks the
father. “That’s what I said!”, little Tony yells.
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tick-
ets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and
he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat....
she said, “Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub.”
One day a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a
very sexy nightie. “Tie me up,” she purred, “and you can do anything
you want.” So, he tied her up and went for a ride on his Harley.
