Charities

It was recently revealed that the head of the Susan G Koman foundation for breast cancer makes over $500,000 a year and the average salary for the women who work at the foundation is $77,000 a year and this charity gives part of their contributions to other charities that they choose to even though you may feel the money you donate is going to help cure breast cancer.



With everyone begging for money today, this will help you decide where your hard-earned dollars are best used. Imagine that, some people actually work hard for no salary because they believe in what they're doing and care about the welfare of others. What a concept!!!



As you open your pockets for the next natural disaster, please keep these facts in mind: The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.



UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a Rolls Royce. Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause.



The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. 96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.



The American Legion National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!



The Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!



The Disabled American Veterans National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!



The Military Order of Purple Hearts National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

best beer comercial
Posted April 24, 2012 by Blake Marquette
The producers of this beer commercial borrowed a small 150 seat cinema
playing a popular film, and filled 148 of its seats with rough-looking,tatooed bikers, leaving only two free seats in the middle of the theater.

They then allowed theater management to sell tickets for the last pair of tickets to several young couples.

What would you do?

Watch till the end .....

23 Adult Truths
Posted April 24, 2012 by Blake Marquette
1. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
New bills before congress will make it virtually impossible for site like this and many others that we use daily to exist due to the extreme liability proposed against site owners for content posted by it's members..
This is all about the big guns grabbing an even bigger piece of the pie and driving their profilts up..
Craigslist has put up links to make it easier for those of us that like the freedom the internet provides for us to be heard and hopefullykill these bills before they gain any more support in the house and senate..
I am providing a link to that Craigslist page.. Please take a moment to be heard before the internet as we know it is drastically changed for the worse..

In a local sports bar trivia quiz the other night, I lost by one point.
The question was where do
women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it's Africa .

One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells.
It appears
that Mexicans and African Americans is not the correct answer.


A new Muslim clothing shop opened here in Minneapolis, but I've been
banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets


A friend of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her
twin. I asked, "How can you tell
them apart?" He said, "Her brother has a mustache".

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Face
Book. I said "I can't wait for
the new 911 to arrive!" Next thing I know 4000 Muslims have added me as a
friend!!

Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said
to the lady at the registration
desk ... "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled." To which she
replied, "No, it's regular
porn, you sick bastard.”;

The red cross knocked at my door asking if I could help towards the floods
in Pakistan . I said I would
love to, but my hose only reaches the bottom of the driveway.

I know you realize I have a twisted sense of humor.
