hUMOR For 23rd

As you know, it is very important for

Santa and his reindeer to be very quiet when they
deliver presents on Christmas Eve so no one will know
they are there. One Christmas Eve as Santa Claus
landed on a rooftop, he suddenly heard a very loud
"Snort sniff honk honk snort!" coming from one of his
reindeer.

Since he was in the sleigh behind them, he didn't know
which one it was. It happened again, only louder this
time: "Snort sniff honk honk snort!"

Dogs in the neighborhood began to bark. "Shhh!" Santa
hissed. "Please be quiet!"

He went to work lifting the sack of toys out of the
sleigh when he heard it again, only a lot louder this
time. "SNORT SNIFF HONK HONK SNORT!" Lights came on
all over the neighborhood and some people even stuck
their heads out of their windows.

Santa was horrified. Jumping back into the sleigh, he
drove quickly back to the North Pole. He lined up all
the reindeer and announced, "We are not going to
deliver another present until the reindeer who is
making funny noises with his nose steps forward and
apologizes!"

None of the reindeer stepped forward.

Santa held up a piece of paper. "I know who it is, and
I have written your name on this paper. But I want to
give you a chance to do the right thing on your own."

Still none of the reindeer came forward. So Santa did
the only thing he could do. Read off the rude-nosed
reindeer...

Thanks to Marti -- HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE
OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up
to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light
on in the garden shed, which she could see from the
bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn
off the light, but saw that there were people in the
shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your
house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all
patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his
door and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and
phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a
few seconds ago because there were people in my shed.
Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause
I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed
Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the
Phillips residence and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you
said that you'd shot them!"

George said, "I thought you said there was nobody
available!"

Thanks to LBS: Christmas Mail

A blonde goes to the post office to buy stamps for her
Christmas cards.

She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas
stamps?"

The clerk says, "What denomination?"

The woman says, "God help us. Has it come to this?
Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and
22 Baptist.

Thanks to LBS: Big "BAD" Walmart

Those folks who badmouth Walmart stores,
I do not find it fittin'
If workers there found it so bad
They'd say it's so by quittin'.

At Walmart prices are quite low
So poorer folks can buy there
They can't afford most other stores
So that is why they try there

The greedy unions are to blame
They're looking for more DUES
That's why they're making all that fuss
We're hearing on the news.

Some senior folks are working there
They're only there part-time
As friendly greeters at the door
And I think that's just fine

They make themselves some extra cash
And mingle with the "folks"
It helps them live more actively
And they can tell more jokes.

Employees find advancement there
The ones more qualified
And anyone can raise himself
If he works hard and tried.

Nutritious Eating

According to a recent article I just read on nutrition, eating right
doesn't have to be complicated. Nutritionists say there is a simple
way to tell if you're eating right. Colors. Fill your plate with
bright colors: Greens, Reds, Yellows.

In fact, I did that this morning. I had an entire bowl of M&M's. It
was delicious! I never knew eating right could be so easy.

Christmas Sign
A church was preparing for Christmas services. The pastor decided he wanted a banner made for the entryway and had a parishioner call the banner company.
The parishioner told the man on the phone the message he wanted and the dimensions needed for the entryway.

The sign came back a few days later: . . "Unto Mary Jesus was born, six feet long and two feet wide."
