Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald

NPG.72.107 “Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American fiction writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. While he achieved limited success in his lifetime, he is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s.” Wikipedia

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

“Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.”

“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maybe F. Scott Fitzgerald drank a little to much::

A really drunk guy walked out of a bar stumbling back and forth with car keys in his hand. A  nearby cop saw this and said,

“Hello Sir, Can I help you ?”

“Yesssh! Ssomebodyyy sstole my carr”, the man replied.

The cop inquired, “Where did you see you car last time?”

Drunk : “It was on the end of this key”.

At the same time the cop looked down and saw the man’s wiener carelessly hanging out of his fly. So he asked the man, “Excuse me Sir, Are you aware that you are currently exposing yourself?”

Confused for a moment, the drunk looked down at his crotch and without wasting a second, blurted out….

“Holy shit! What the hell… My girlfriend’s gone too !!”

DSC_0027 F.Y.I. The beds may not be the most comfortable at the hostel, but sure beats sleeping on the ground…..  Have a great day. A Quality time Day.

Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in the Outback. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.  The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off; it was a fine, dry summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left.  At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.  The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a Breathalyzer test.  To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This Breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the truly proud Redneck. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
