received this today from a camping friend ....
Winterizing my RV water system
After reading about the different methods of winterizing my RV water system, I decided to try the vodka method.
I had to go to a liquor store and being a preacher this was just the first of my problems, but I did it. It's in a rough part of town so I parked as far away from the other cars as I could in the back lot so some drunk wouldn’t hit my truck trying to leave. I waited a while and didn’t see anyone I knew, so thought it was safe to go on in.
The clerk seemed to think it was funny that I was buying 5, fifths of vodka. I nervously told him it was for my travel trailer, not for me to drink. He laughed like I was some kind of nut. Boy was I glad to get out of there, before seeing anyone who knew me!
On to the process. First, the instructions say to get as much water out of your system as possible, no problem with that except afterwards I couldn’t get my zipper back up all the way. Next, thought I should taste the vodka to be sure it was the real stuff and going to be strong enough to do the job. Took a good swig, it tasted like rubbing alcohol and was hot as fire in my throat so I felt sure it would keep things warm all winter!
Next, dumped the 5 bottles in the water tank and turned on the pump. Dang pump must be going bad. It made a high pitched squeal like a bearing going out.
Now to get it going through the system without wasting any. I opened the hot water faucet and used a coffee cup to catch any that came out there, almost half a cup. I was afraid it would kill the grass if I threw it out so decided to just drink it. WOW, it was still hot going down, so I had even more confidence it would keep the pipes warm and prevent them from freezing.
Did the same thing for the cold water faucet. Then the bathroom sink, hot and cold. Then the shower, hot and cold, guess I could have saved some on the shower since hot and cold goes through the same pipe, but by then, I just wasn’t thinking clearly.
Now the real problems start. I couldn’t figure out how to catch what came into the toilet bowl in my cup so I just flushed it down. What a waste! Even thought about opening the black tank valve and catching the vodka that I had just flushed down, but after a short nap decided not to do that.
Almost forgot the outside shower. Walked around the trailer 5 times before I could find that shower door. It seemed to be camouflaged with something that made it look fuzzy. Only ran a quarter of a cup out of both the hot and cold sides so I must be running out of vodka. I’ll have to go get more as soon as I find where to stick the key in my truck.
At least now I know how the vodka method works. It keeps things warm and fuzzy inside, but there may still be one more problem. I think it wants to come out the same way it went in!

How can you tell when a set of bag pipes is out of tune?
Someone's playing them.

Chuck again....
Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker the second Wednesday of every month.
Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
Chuck Norris uses pepper spray to spice up his steaks.
Contrary to popular belief, Chuck Norris, not the box jellyfish of northern Australia, is the most venomous creature on earth. Within 3 minutes of being bitten, a human being experiences the following symptoms: fever, blurred vision, beard rash, tightness of the jeans, and the feeling of being repeatedly kicked through a car windshield.
Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chuck Norris has 72... and they're all poisonous.
When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes, ever.
Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.
Police label anyone attacking Chuck Norris as a Code 45-11.... a suicide.
If you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win. Forever.
Faster than a speeding bullet ... more powerful than a locomotive ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... yes, these are some of Chuck Norris's warm-up exercises
When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang is roughly equal to 1CNRhK (Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick)
In honor of Chuck Norris, all McDonald's in Texas have an even larger size than the super-size. When ordering, just ask to be Chucksized.

I can tell by your current signature line ("I like to think of myself as a perfectianist...") you are using the electricionist's spellchecker.

Mercury has a harsh climate, as the day time temperature is 430 degrees Celsius. At night however, it freezes to -170 degrees Celsius.
First world problems.

I'll be making a movie about the Greek alphabet. It's a Psi Phi film.

Some people don't sleep because they have insomnia. I can't sleep because I have internet.

I went to see a psychic for her to look into a crystal ball and read my future.
She looked and said... "I see you will be trapped in by a massive blizzard in a few days, but Santa and his reindeer will come and bring you lots of presents !"
"Are you sure ?" I replied, "Santa's not real."
"Sorry," she replied, "I was accidentally looking into my snow globe."
