House:

Just a reminder that our permanent meeting host is American Legion Post 166.  Meetings start at 7:30pm, but all are welcome to arrive early for food and drink specials.

 

The AL will have a viewing party for the Titans 9:30am game in London on Sunday 10/15.  They will have a brunch buffet instead of the normal one.  They would like to know if the Roost is planning to attend so they can plan the buffet details.  I will conduct a " raise your hands survey " to see how many of our regular attendees + other new ones expect to do that.  At this time, I do not know if food off of the other regular is also available, as usual at the 1:00 games.  Those who attend regularly always have a good time very inexpensively.

Funny Poop

A man returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live.  Given this prognosis, the man asks his wife for sex.  Naturally, she agrees, and they make love.  

About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, "Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live.  Could we please do it one more time?"  Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again.

Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left.  He touches his wife shoulder, and asks, "Honey, please...just one more time before die." She says, "Of course, Dear," and they make love for the third time.  After this session, the wife rolls over and falls asleep. 

The man, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he's down to 4 more hours.  He taps his wife, who rouses. "Honey, I have only 4 more hours.  Do you think we could..."

At this point the wife sits up and says, "Listen, I have to get up in the morning.  You don't!"
