I just realized this thread is 600 pages long now. Wow. I don't have any jokes right now, but there is this.

The Ypsilanti Water Tower, at the intersection of Washtenaw Avenue and Cross Street, Ypsilanti, Michigan is nicknamed The Brick Dick. Either you see the resemblance or you don't. The tower is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. An American flag and a Greek flag are flying, and a bust of the Greek general, Demetrios Ypsilantis (also commonly spelled "Demetrius Ypsilanti"), for whom the city is named, is in the foreground.

The stone tower is located at the highest point of elevation of the city on Summit Street. The tower is made of Joliet limestone. The tower is 147 feet tall, has an 85-foot base. The substructure walls taper from a thickness of 40 inches at the bottom to 24 inches at the top. The reservoir holds a 250,000 US gallon steel tank. When it was constructed it had a dual purpose. Not only did it store water but the falling water also generated electricity for the city street lamps at night.

It has become a well-known landmark in Ypsilanti, and due to the building's shape and location, the tower is frequently used by residents as a point for providing directions for visitors and residents. And it looks like a big mushroom-headed... you know. :)

Whenever you think there's an ATF agent watching you, you're wrong. There's not just AN ATF agent watching you. :)

Marlboro cigarettes aren't the only cowboy killers. Stickers and T-shirts at Ranger Point Precision.

This looks more like a pack of Marlboros.

This only looks like a joke. It's a discontinued Winchester rifle called the Model 94 Timber Scout. A "scout rifle" based on the old '94.
