Some have asked what I’ve been doing in retirement.   Well, I applied for a building permit for a new house. It was going to be 100 ft. tall and 400 ft. wide, with 12 gun turrets at various heights, and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system.

It would have parking for 200 cars and I was going to paint it green with pink trim. Then I was gonna hire some idiot to stand on top of it and SCREAM as loud as he could three or four times a day.

The City Council told me; Forget it…AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!

So, I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a “Mosque.”

Work starts on Monday. And here is the best part, it’s going to be tax exempt!

I love this country. It’s the government that scares me.
