Rudy, the 75 year old former Navy Seal, was voted off Survivor on Thursday. That reinforces my idea that the most deserving person never wins on this show. A guy like Rudy who never complains, always pitches in to help, and seems to be truly at ease under harsh conditions is always voted off. While someone who is weak, constantly complains, and has virtually no integrity continually makes it into the finals. Out of the seven previous winners, only Ethan really deserved to win based on his character and work ethic. At least the show started out on a high note with Tina getting the boot. There is no way that she deserved to win over Colby in the Australian version of Survivor. Colby did all the work, won most of the challenges, and was clearly the stongest member of the two tribes. Tina just sat around and gossiped all day. She was also the first person to invade a fellow tribe mate's privacy by searching his backpack for some beef jerky that Jerri falsely accused him of hiding. What made the incident particulary bad was that the guy was an officer in the military, so they were attacking his honor. That's about as low as you can get. I hope Jerri goes next followed by Richard and Susan.

There are two blondes walking on opposite sides of a river. The first blonde shouts "How do you get to the other side of the river?". The second blonde shouts back "You are on the other side of the river!"

A man is asleep with his wife when he wakes up to the sounds of someone yelling outside. He opens the bedroom window and asks what the guy wants. The guy answers "Will you give me a push?". The man mumbles to his wife that it's too cold outside, but she tells him to be a good neighbor and help. The man gets dressed, goes outside, and shouts "Where are you?" into the dark night. The guy says "I'm over here on the swing.".

Which of these jokes do you believe is funny. I think that the type of humor that you find funny says a lot about you. Personally, I like the second joke the most, but I may have been influenced by the person who told it to me; someone who I admire. The other two seem to be a little cruel and promote stereotypes. Of course, I used to like the Three Stooges, so I'm no authority on good humor. That's all for now, porcupine head.

I started watching "American Idol". The early shows are often better than the later shows. In the early shows, you get to see a lot of singers who really can't sing, but think they can. Sometimes, it's really sad when they find out that their life dream isn't going to happen. At least not on this show. Of course, you never can tell. If Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, or Rod Stewart had auditioned, they probably would not have made it thru the first round either. The judges wouldn't have a clue if Janis Joplin were alive and auditioning. Even Joni Mitchell or Carly Simon might have been too nervous when they were young to make a great impression on the judges. On the other hand, a young Elvis would have kicked ass all the way to the Finals. Big Time.
