You know you aren't in the US when...

You get signs like this in the place you go to to eat:

Here are some random Aruba shots including one of me on a climbing wall on the beach (couldn't resist that!) with the Caribbean Sea in the background and one of the only person I saw who was whiter than I was.

[Brody]

What the heck...it's cold outside and gonna get colder, so here are some more 'sun' shots. Not to make anyone jealous, but more to warm you up...

[Chris]

Thanks for those Pete, I hate the cold!

[Funrover]

Great pics, thanks for sharing! So.. did you make the climbing wall? LOL :D

[Brody]

Yes to the wall. Anything you can do in sneakers ain't too hard....

[Tye]

Were'nt none of them sharks on he wall huh Pete...:D

[Brody]

I was really trying to get out of shark range, truth be told. I had heard two things that really disturbed me: 1, that there are now mutated sharks with legs that like to hunt on shore and 2, that they can't jump very high. LaDawn thought that I was overdoing it a bit....

[Chris]

mutated sharks with legs that like to hunt on shore

They're called lawyers, right? :D

[Pathrat]

They're called lawyers, right? :D

good one!

At least land sharks you might be able to see in time.

[Brody]

Just to get something straight...I always thought that lawyers were bottom feeders, but land sharks work. I think that I have been buying (or have bought) mine at least a Mercedes 500, European model, the one that they don't import cause it's so badass and costs a fortune...

So there were these two guys that died at the same time, a lawyer and a bishop. They both end up at heaven's gate talking to St Peter. St Peter sets them up with their new quarters in heaven, putting the bishop in a small basement apartment and the lawyer into a plush house with about everything that you could ask for.

The bishop was a little upset about this and goes to talk to St Peter.
What's up with this?, he said. I've dedicated my whole life to serving god and expected something a little better.
Well, St Peter said, we get a lot of bishops here, but this is the first lawyer we have ever had..

A blind rabbit and a blind snake met up on the trail.
What are you? they asked each other .
Let's touch each other and try to find out.
The snake feels the rabbit-big ears, fuzzy, little nose, big hind legs.
You must be a rabbit, he says.
The rabbit touches the snake-cold, scaly, low to the ground.
The rabbit thinks for a minute and says, I think that you are a lawyer.

What do you call 1,000 lawyers in a sinking ship in the middle of an bad Atlantic Ocean storm?
A good start.

Here is one of those hypothetical, what would you do scenarios.
So a guy was walking back from the newsstand with his Sunday paper. He heard someone struggling in the canal next to the path he was on. There is a man in a suit, splashing and trying to crawl up the steep bank, but he kept sliding back into the water. "Help me! I'm a lawyer, I have money, I'll give you whatever you want just save me!!!"

What would you do first? Read the front page or go right to the comics section?

[Brody]

Try to find a Starbuck's with a view of the lawyer in the canal. Relax and enjoy the show....
