John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock

(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am.

While his coffeepot

(MADE IN CHINA )

was perking, he shaved with his

electric razor

(MADE IN HONG KONG )

He put on a

dress shirt

(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),

designer jeans

(MADE IN SINGAPORE )

and

tennis shoes

(MADE IN KOREA)

After cooking his breakfast in his new

electric skillet

(MADE IN INDIA )

he sat down with his

calculator

(MADE IN MEXICO )

to see how much he could spend today. After setting his

watch

(MADE IN TAIWAN )

to the radio

(MADE IN INDIA )

he got in his car

(MADE IN GERMANY )

filled it with GAS

(from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search

for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging

and fruitless day

checking his

Computer

(made in MALAYSIA ),

John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals

(MADE IN BRAZIL ),

poured himself a glass of

wine

(MADE IN FRANCE )

and turned on his

TV

(MADE IN INDONESIA ),

and then wondered why he can’t

find a good paying job

in AMERICA

AND NOW HE’S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT

MADE IN KENYA

Dave and his wife Carol went to the state fair every year,

And every year Dave would say,

‘Carol, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.’

Carol always replied,

‘I know Dave, but that helicopter ride is fi fty dollars,

And fifty dollars is fifty dollars’

One year Carol and Dave went to the fair, and Morris said,

Carol, I’m 85 years old.

If I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.’

To this, Carol replied,

‘Dave that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’

The pilot overheard the couple and said,

‘Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don’t say a word I won’t charge you a penny!

But if you say one word it’s fifty dollars.’

Dave and Carol agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.

He did his daredevil tricks over and over again,

But still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Dave and said,

‘By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t.

I’m impressed!’

Dave replied,

‘Well, to tell you the truth,

I almost said something when Carol fell out,

But you know,

fifty dollars is fifty dollars!’

I’ve been watching action sports since they started some 17 years ago!  The last two years I have attended the Dew Tour events in Portland, OR.  This week, the tour is in town!  Here is a photo of the vert ramp in the Rose Garden.

I’ve always been disappointed with the TV coverage of sporting events.  They NEVER show the up and coming athletes.  Last night I saw 24 skaters rip up skate park and 17 tear up the vert ramp.  Usually, I only get to see seven or eight of the top ten.

Being a die hard fan, I will have my butt planted in the seat at every event today, Saturday and Sunday.  Stay Tuned for more pictures.
