He was a young Pastor, and as usual, he was running late getting into town
and he was speeding. Then to top it off, he looked in the review mirror only
to see the lights of the Highway Patrol. Already late for church and
figuring he'd try for leniency, he quickly slapped his Bible on the dash of
his car as the trooper walked up to the window and asked to see his drivers
license.
Looking at his name and title on the license, the trooper asked, "You're a
Reverend huh?"
The young Pastor nodded in affirmation.
The trooper then began writing out a speeding ticket and said, "Well,
Reverend, I must say that the Bible on your dash is a nice touch, however,
your speedometer runneth over and you're getting a ticket anyway."

Recent Quips from Late Night
"Last week, Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to fight global warming. Congratulations to Al Gore. ... Not to be outdone, today the oil companies named President Bush 'Man of The Year.'" --Jay Leno "In a recent interview, President Bush's daughter, Jenna, said she believes there's a ghost in the White House.

Los Angeles
Two men were sitting side by side on an airliner flying from
Denver to Los Angeles.
The first man appeared nervous and finally explained that he
was being transferred to LA. "I hate Los Angeles," he said.
"Everything you hear about LA is bad -- smog, traffic, and
worst of all, the crime. Gangs everywhere, people getting
shot and robbed, things stolen, car jackings, and everyone
hates everyone else."
"Oh, it's not that bad," said the second man. "I live in LA
myself. Most of that stuff you read is media hype. It's just
not true. You'll find LA is just like any other city,
anywhere in America."
"Really?" responded the first. "Boy, that makes me feel a
lot better. You say you live in LA -- what do you do for a
living?"
"I'm a tail gunner on a Bud Lite delivery truck."

The Procrastinator Handbook
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan-start-finish, but is wait-plan-plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator’s Society) if they ever get it organized.
