"Shower Music"
"Somebody just gave me a shower radio. Thanks a lot. Do you really want music in the shower? I guess there's no better place to dance than a slick surface next to a glass door."

"An Honest Day's Work"
Today's Illustration "An honest Day's Work" was one I read on www.sermoncentral.com
The USS Astoria (C-34) was the first U.S. cruiser to engage the Japanese during the Battle of Savo Island, a night action fought 8-9 August 1942. Although she scored two hits on the Imperial flagship Chokai, the Astoria was badly damaged and sank shortly after noon, 9 August.
About 0200 hours a young midwesterner, Signalman 3rd Class Elgin Staples, was swept overboard by the blast when the Astoria's number one eight-inch gun turret exploded. Wounded in both legs by shrapnel and in semi-shock, he was kept afloat by a narrow life belt that he managed to activate with a simple trigger mechanism.
At around 0600 hours, Staples was rescued by a passing destroyer and returned to the Astoria, whose captain was attempting to save the cruiser by beaching her. The effort failed, and Staples, still wearing the same life belt, found himself back in the water. It was lunchtime. Picked up again, this time by the USS President Jackson (AP-37), he was one of 500 survivors of the battle who were evacuated to Noumea.
On board the transport Staples, for the first time, closely examined the life belt that had served him so well. It had been manufactured by Firestone Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, and bore a registration number.
Given home leave Staples told his story and asked his mother, who worked for Firestone, about the purpose of the number on the belt. She replied that the company insisted on personal responsibility for the war effort, and that the number was unique and assigned to only one inspector. Staples remembered everything about the lifebelt, and quoted the number. It was his mother's personal code and affixed to every item she was responsible for approving.

As the manager of our hospital's softball team, I was
responsible for returning equipment to the proper owners at
the end of the season.
When I walked into the surgery department carrying a bat
that belonged to one of the surgeons, I passed several
patients and their families in a waiting area.
I heard one man say to his wife, "Look, honey, here comes
your anesthesiologist."

hUMOR For March 14th
Thanks to Marti -- Before I was a Mom...
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about
how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my
teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom...
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a
lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were
poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Spit on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom...
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors
could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby
sleep.
Before I was a Mom...
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't
want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when
I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my
life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside
my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a
hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her
child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me
feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every
10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never
known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I
didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I
was a Mom.
And before I was a Grandma...
I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than
doubled!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

out of your nose and you have to gracefully clean it off your shirt.

I.R.S.
Moshe, the owner of a small Kosher New York deli, was
being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax return.
He had reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year.
"Why don't you people leave me alone?" the deli owner
said. "I work like a dog, everyone in my family helps
out, the place is only closed three days a year. And
you want to know how I made $80,000?"
"It's not your income that bothers us," the agent
said. "It's these travel deductions. You listed ten
trips to Israel for you and your wife."
"Oh, that?" the owner said looking guilty. " Er
Well... we also deliver."

hUMOR For March 12th
Hashing It Out
I was working as a short-order cook at two restaurants in the same
neighborhood. On a Saturday night, I was finishing up the dinner
shift at one restaurant and hurrying to report to work at the second
place, but I was delayed because one table kept sending back an order

A Few Laughs About Texas
A visitor asked a West Texas cowboy, "Do you ever get tornadoes out
here?" The cowboy replied, "Yeah, we had one a while back, but it ran
into a sandstorm outside of town and got ripped to pieces."
A visitor asked a West Texas cowboy, "Doesn't it ever rain out here?"
The cowboy replied, "Sure. There was a half-inch of rain a couple of
weeks ago just a few miles north of here, but I was too busy and
couldn't go."
The wind blows so hard out in West Texas that at a drive-in theater it
once blew Gene Autry right out of the saddle."
A little brown hen once got caught in a West Texas sandstorm. She was
flying through the air backward so fast that she laid the same egg
three times.
It was so windy that prairie dogs were digging holes 40 feet in the air.
It was so dry that the Baptists were sprinkling, the Methodists were
spitting, and the Catholics were giving rain checks.
It was so hot that I saw a roadrunner pull a worm out of the ground
using pot holders.
It was so cold that a farmer threw a dipperful of water and it froze
in midair and knocked a pup unconscious.
A visitor to Amarillo asked a local rancher, "How do you stand the
wind blowing every single day?" The rancher said, "You just have to
get used to it - learn to lean into it. In fact, one day last fall the
wind stopped blowing all of a sudden, and all the chickens in the
panhandle plumb fell over."
During a period of heavy sandstorms, a rancher visited his banker and
applied for a loan. The banker warned him, "I'll have to come out and
inspect the property first." The rancher replied, "That won't be
necessary. Here it comes now."

Psych:
Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over a
drink, one asked, "What was your most difficult case?"
The other replied, "I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world.
He believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave
him a fortune. All day long he waited for a letter to arrive from an
attorney. He never went out, he never did anything, he merely sat
around and waited for this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle.
Iworked with this man eight years."
"What was the result?"
"It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years, but I
finally cured him. And then that stupid letter arrived!"
I was working as a short-order cook at two restaurants in the same
neighborhood. On a Saturday night, I was finishing up the dinner
shift at one restaurant and hurrying to report to work at the second
place, but I was delayed because one table kept sending back an order
of hash browns, insisting they were cold. I replaced them several
times, but still the customers were dissatisfied.

Laws Concerning Food and Drink
Household Principles
Lamentations of the Father
by Ian Frazier
*Laws of Forbidden Places*
Of the beasts of the field, and of the fishes of the sea,
and of all foods that are acceptable in my sight you may
eat, but not in the living room.
Of the hoofed animals, broiled or ground into burgers, you
may eat, but not in the living room.
Of the cereal grains, of the corn and of the wheat and of
the oats, and of all the cereals that are of bright color
and unknown provenance you may eat, but not in the living
room.
Of quiescently frozen dessert and of all frozen after-meal
treats you may eat, but absolutely not in the living room.
Of the juices and other beverages, yes, even of those in
sippy-cups, you may drink, but not in the living room,
neither may you carry such therein.
Indeed, when you reach the place where the living room
carpet begins, of any food or beverage therein you may not
eat, neither may you drink.
But if you are sick, and are lying down and watching
something, then may you eat in the living room.
*Laws When at Table*
And if you are seated in your high chair, or in a chair such
as a greater person might use, keep your legs and feet below
you as they were.
Neither raise up your knees, nor place your feet upon the
table, for that is an abomination to me.
Yes, even when you have an interesting bandage to show, your
feet upon the table are an abomination, and worthy of
rebuke.
Drink your milk as it is given you, neither use on it any
utensils, nor fork, nor knife, nor spoon, for that is not
what they are for; if you will dip your blocks in the milk,
and lick it off, you will be sent away from my presence.
When you have drunk, let the empty cup then remain upon the
table, and do not bite it upon its edge and by your teeth
hold it to your face in order to make noises in it sounding
like a duck: for you will be sent away from my presence.
When you chew your food, keep your mouth closed until you
have swallowed, and do not open it to show your brother or
your sister what is within; verily I say to you, do not so,
even if your brother or your sister has done the same before
you.
Eat your food only; do not eat that which is not food;
neither seize the table between your jaws, nor use the
raiment of the table to wipe your lips. I say again to you,
do not touch it, but leave it as it is.
And though your stick of carrot does indeed resemble a
marker, draw not with it upon the table, even in pretend,
because we do not do that, that is why.
And though the pieces of broccoli are very like small trees,
do not stand them upright to make a forest, because we do
not do that, that is why.
Sit just as I have told you, and do not lean to one side or
the other, nor slide down until you are nearly slid away.
Heed me; for if you sit like that, your hair will go into
the syrup.
And now behold.....even as I have said, it has come to pass.

A 21st Century Marriage
I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up
roses for my wife. As the clerk was putting the
finishing touches on the bouquet, a young man burst
through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red
roses.
"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered
our last bunch." The desperate customer turned to me
and begged, "May I please have those roses?"
"What happened?" I asked. "Did you forget your wedding
anniversary?"
"It's even worse than that," he confided. "I crashed
my wife's hard drive!"

Three Men on a Trip
Fred, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and

After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to
hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and
they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get
to their room.
Bill said to Jim and Scott, "Let's break the monotony
of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something
interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can
sing songs for the next 25 flights, and Scott can tell
sad stories for the rest of the way."
At the 26th floor, Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim
began to sing. At the 51st floor, Jim stopped singing
and Scott began to tell sad stories.
"I will tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left
the room key in the car!"

Hunters from Minn.
Two hunters from Minnesota -- (true story) This is
from a radio program, a true report of an incident in
Minnesota:
A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator truck for
$42,500 and has $560 monthly payments. He and a
friend go duck hunting in winter, and of course all
the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the
lake with their guns, a dog, and of course the new
vehicle. They drive out onto the lake ice and get
ready. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural
landing area for the ducks, for the decoys to float
on. In order to make a hole large enough to look like
something a wandering duck would fly down and land on,
it's going to take a little more effort than an ice
hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator truck comes a
stick of dynamite with a short 40 second fuse. Now,
these two rocket s cientists do take into
consideration that they want to place the stick of
dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they,
(and the new Navigator truck), are standing. They
don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice
when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up
in smoke with the resulting blast.
They light the 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned
the vehicle, the guns, and the dog?? Let's talk about
the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for
RETRIEVING. Especially things thrown by the owner.
You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of
doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of
dynamite with the burning 40 second fuse about the
time it hits the ice.
The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder
what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming.
One of the guys grab s the shotgun and shoots the dog.
The shotgun is loaded with #6 shot, hardly big enough
to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment,
slightly confused, but continues on.
Another shot and this time the dog, still standing,
becomes really confused and of course terrified,
thinking these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog
takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator
truck. The men continue to yell as they run. The
exhaust pipe on the truck is still hot, so the dog
yelps and drops the dynamite under the truck, and
takes off after his master.
Then --BOOM-- the truck is blown to bits and sinks to
the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving
the two idiots standing there with this "I can't
believe this happened" look on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a
lake by illegal use of explosives is not COVERED. He
still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a
month payments!!!

An minister tells of his first Sunday in a new parish and of

church had some magnificent stained glass windows, so his message
centered on how each of us is called to help make up the whole
picture of life (the life of the community of the faithful). Like
the pictures in the windows, it takes many little panels of glass to
make the whole picture.
And then he said, "You see each one of you is a little pane." And
then pointing to each child, "You're a little pane. And you're a
little pane. And you're a little pane. And..."
It took a few moments before he realized why everyone was laughing so hard.

Stained Glass
An minister tells of his first Sunday in a new parish and of
presenting the children's message. It seems the sanctuary in the new
church had some magnificent stained glass windows, so his message
centered on how each of us is called to help make up the whole
picture of life (the life of the community of the faithful). Like
the pictures in the windows, it takes many little panels of glass to
make the whole picture.
And then he said, "You see each one of you is a little pane." And
then pointing to each child, "You're a little pane. And you're a
little pane. And you're a little pane. And..."
It took a few moments before he realized why everyone was laughing so hard.

hUMOR For March 9th
My little boy sometimes had difficult bowel movements. One
day, we were browsing together in a novelty and gift store.
There were many wooden signs of "words of encouragement"
hanging on display.
Suddenly, he pointed to one of the signs and said to me,
"Mum, I think we should get this one and hang it in the
toilet." I looked at the sign he was indicating.
It read:
P. U. S. H.
"Pray Until Something Happens."

"Hat Bet"
A Chabad Rabbi was walking, slowly, out of a Schule in New York City, when a gust of wind blew his hat off and down the street. Being an old man who walked with the aid of a cane, he wasn't able to catch up with his hat.
Across the street, a young guy saw what was happening, rushed over and grabbed the hat and returned it to the Rabbi. "I could not have retrieved my hat by myself," said the Rabbi, "Thank you very much!" He then placed his hand on the man's shoulder and said, "May G-d bless you."
The young man thought to himself, "I've been blessed by the Rabbi, this must be my lucky day!" He then decided to go to the Racetrack. In the first race he noted a horse named 'Stetson' at 20 to 1. "A Stetson hat," he thought, "This is a sign!" He bet $50.00 on Stetson, and sure enough, the horse came in first. In the second race, a horse named 'Fedora' was at 30 to 1! "A fedora is also hat!" he thought, so he bet all his money on Fedora, who came in first as well. "Just one more race, and then I'll go home and surprise my wife!" he said...
At the end of the day the guy returned home to his wife. She asked him where he's been. He explained how he caught the Rabbi's hat, and how he was blessed by him, and how he then went to the track and bet on horses which were named after hats.
"So where's the money?" she said.
"I lost it all in the third race. I bet on a horse named Chateau, and it lost."
"You fool! Chateau is a house, *Chapeau* is a hat!"
"It doesn't matter," he said, throwing his arms in the air, "The winner was some Japanese horse named Yarmulke..."

Yard Sale
A woman was taking her time browsing through everything at a friend's
yard sale, and said to her, "My husband is going to be very angry I
stopped at a yard sale."
"I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him about all the bargains
you found," her friend replied.
"Normally, yes," she said. "But he just broke his leg, and he's
waiting for me to take him to the hospital to have it set."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Millionaire
She had reached the final plateau on the show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire":
If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $32,000 milestone money.
As she suspected, the million dollar question was no pushover. It was, "Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?"
Is it:
A) the condor
B) the buzzard
C) the cuckoo, or
D) the vulture?
The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer, and she had used up her 50/50 lifeline and her audience poll lifeline.
All that remained was her phone-a-friend lifeline, and the woman had hoped against hope that she would not have to use it; mainly because the only friend she knew would be home happened to be a blonde.
She had no alternative She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.
The Blonde responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy!
The answer is 'C' - The Cuckoo."
The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving Regis any answer except for the one her friend had given her (Considering her blonde friend, that would seem to be the logical thing to do. On the other hand, the blonde had answered with such confidence, such certitude, "I need an answer," said Regis.
Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C - The Cuckoo."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Regis. "Yes, that is my final answer."
After the inevitable, interminable dramatic pause, Regis said, "That answer is absolutely correct! You are now a
millionaire!"
Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends -- including the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars.
"Jenny, I just don't know how to thank you," said the contestant. "Because of your knowing the answer to that final question, I am now a millionaire . .. and you know something -- it was the assuredness with which you answered the question that convinced me to go with your choice. By the way . . How did you happen to know the right answer?"
"Oh, come on," said the blonde. "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests! They live in clocks!"

"Redecorating Help"
A young woman decided to redecorate her bedroom. She wasn't sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need, but she knew that her friend next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size.
"Buffy," she said, "how many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?"
"Ten," said Buffy.
So the girl bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job, but she had 2 rolls leftover.
"Buffy," she said. "I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I've got 2 leftover!"
"Yeah!" said Buffy. "So did I."

"First Impressions"
A company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he thinks this is his chance to show everyone he means business!
The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"
Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $200.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO then hands the guy $200 in cash and screams, "Here's a week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"
Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?"
With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "He's the pizza delivery guy."

I was in the Express Lane at the store, quietly fuming.
Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into
the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries.
Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward,
looked into the cart and asked sweetly, "So, which six items would you
like to buy?"
Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?!

Hillary Clinton gets elected President and is spending
her first night in the White House. She has waited so
long..........
The ghost of George Washington appears, and Hillary
says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Washington says, "Never tell a lie."
"Ouch!" Says Hillary, "I don't know about that."
The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears.
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Jefferson says, "Listen to the people."
"Ohhh! I really don't want to do that."
On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears.
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."
** Graveside Services **
A young preacher was asked by the local funeral
director to hold a Grave-side burial service at a
small local cemetery for someone with no family or
friends. The preacher started early but quickly got
himself lost, making several wrong turns. Eventually,
a half-hour late, he saw a backhoe and its crew, but
the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were
eating lunch.
The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and
found the vault lid already in place.
Taking out his book, he read the service. Feeling
guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an
impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased
to the great beyond in style.
As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of
the workmen say: "I've been putting in septic tanks
for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like
that"

The teacher asked one of her young students if he knew his

"Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did a good job.
What comes after ten?"

Dan heard that milk baths would make him masculine. He left a note for
his milkman to leave 15 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the
note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought Dan probably meant
1.5 gallons so he knocked on the door to clarify the point.
Dan came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note to leave
15 gallons of milk. Did you mean 1.5 gallons?"
Dan said, "I want 15 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk
and take a milk bath."
The milkman asked, "Do you want it Pasteurized?"
Dan said, "No, just up to my chin, I don't want to splash it in my eyes.
For those outside my family, please substitute blonde for Dan.

We Must Stop This Immediately!
Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are
heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the
corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young
ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak
up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same
silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I
am, a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On
the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran
into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she
didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair
this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own
refection.........Well, REALLY NOW- even mirrors are not made the way
they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking
life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of
them.. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the
way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would
they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do
they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the
waist, hips, thighs, and bosom?
The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but
in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on
that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who
do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on --
but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've
printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever
find a number in here!
All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless
something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer
these awful indignities.

A young woman decided to redecorate her bedroom. She wasn't sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need, but she knew that her friend next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size.
"Buffy," she said, "how many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?"
"Ten," said Buffy.
So the girl bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job, but she had 2 rolls leftover.
"Buffy," she said. "I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I've got 2 leftover!"
"Yeah!" said Buffy. "So did I."

"First Impressions"
A company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he thinks this is his chance to show everyone he means business!
The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"
Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $200.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO then hands the guy $200 in cash and screams, "Here's a week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"
Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?"
With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "He's the pizza delivery guy."

I was in the Express Lane at the store, quietly fuming.
Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into
the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries.
Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward,
looked into the cart and asked sweetly, "So, which six items would you
like to buy?"
Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?!

Hillary and the Young Preacher
Hillary Clinton gets elected President and is spending
her first night in the White House. She has waited so
long..........
The ghost of George Washington appears, and Hillary
says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Washington says, "Never tell a lie."
"Ouch!" Says Hillary, "I don't know about that."
The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears.
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Jefferson says, "Listen to the people."
"Ohhh! I really don't want to do that."
On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears.
Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"
Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."
** Graveside Services **
A young preacher was asked by the local funeral
director to hold a Grave-side burial service at a
small local cemetery for someone with no family or
friends. The preacher started early but quickly got
himself lost, making several wrong turns. Eventually,
a half-hour late, he saw a backhoe and its crew, but
the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were
eating lunch.
The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and
found the vault lid already in place.
Taking out his book, he read the service. Feeling
guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an
impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased
to the great beyond in style.
As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of
the workmen say: "I've been putting in septic tanks
for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like
that"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The teacher asked one of her young students if he knew his
numbers.
"Yes," he said. "I do. My father taught me."
"Good. What comes after three."
"Four," answers the boy.
"What comes after six?"
"Seven."
"Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did a good job.
What comes after ten?"
"A jack," says the little boy.

Dan heard that milk baths would make him masculine. He left a note for
his milkman to leave 15 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the
note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought Dan probably meant
1.5 gallons so he knocked on the door to clarify the point.
Dan came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note to leave
15 gallons of milk. Did you mean 1.5 gallons?"
Dan said, "I want 15 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk
and take a milk bath."
The milkman asked, "Do you want it Pasteurized?"
Dan said, "No, just up to my chin, I don't want to splash it in my eyes.
For those outside my family, please substitute blonde for Dan.

We Must Stop This Immediately!
Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are
heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the
corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young
ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak
up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same
silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I
am, a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On
the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran
into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she
didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair
this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own
refection.........Well, REALLY NOW- even mirrors are not made the way
they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking
life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of
them.. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the
way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would
they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do
they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the
waist, hips, thighs, and bosom?
The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but
in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on
that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who
do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on --
but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've
printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever
find a number in here!
All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless
something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer
these awful indignities.

hUMOR For March 7th
My husband had been the only driver in the family for many
years. I can't drive and usually prefer to sit in the back
of the family car behind the front passenger seat. Our elder
boy would take the front seat and the younger boy sat in the
back with me.
When our elder son got his driver's license, his father was
very happy because he wanted to relax as a passenger for a
change.
On the day our elder son got to drive for the first time,
there was a change in the seating position. My husband
decided he wanted to sit in the back with me, so our younger
boy went to the front.
As we were leaving the parking lot, our younger boy cheered,
"Yeeeaaahh...! We children have taken over the car!" He then
turned around, looked at us, and said with mock severity,
"Now, the two of you behave yourselves in the back." He
paused for a few seconds before adding, "Remember now, no
hanky panky!"

A man had just settled into his seat next to the
window on the plane when another man sat down in the
aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the
middle seat next to the man.
The first man looks very quizzically at the dog and
asks why the dog is allowed on the plane. The second
man explained that he is a DEA agent and that the dog
is a "Sniffing dog." His name is Sniffer and he's the
best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne,
when I put him to work."
The plane takes off, and once it has leveled out, the
agent says: "Watch this." He tells Sniffer to
"search." Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle,
and finally sits very purposefully next to a woman for
several seconds.
Sniffer then returns to its seat and puts one paw on
the Agent's arm.
The agent says, "Good boy", and he turns to the man
and says: "That woman is in possession of marijuana,
so I'm making a note of her seat number and the
authorities will apprehend her when we land.
"Say, that's pretty neat" replies the first man.
Once again, the agent sends Sniffer to search the
aisles.
The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few
seconds, returns to its seat, and this time, he places
TWO paws on the agent's arm.
The agent says, "That man is carrying cocaine, so
again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the
police."
"I like it!" says his seatmate.
The agent then told Sniffer to "search" again.
Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little
while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing
back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and
proceeded to poop all over the place.
The first man is really grossed out by this behavior
and can't figure out how or why a well-trained dog
would act like that, so he asks t he agent "What's
going on?"
The agent nervously replied, "He just found a bomb!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I Help?
One summer evening a young son came in while his parents were setting
the table for supper. Quite surprisingly, he asked if he could help.

Do You See God?
SOMEBODY'S RAISING THEIR KID RIGHT!
One Nation, "Under God".
One day a 6-year-old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was
going to explain "evolution" to the children.
The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He
just doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!

MAINTAINING A DISTANCE OF 5 PACES BEHIND!!!
Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA-ABC Television) did a story on gender
roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk
behind their husbands. From Ms. Walters vantage point, despite the
overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk
even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the
old custom. Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,
"Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so
desperately to change?"
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes and without
hesitation, said, "Land mines."

During WWII, the Japanese were searching for a way to
demoralize the American forces that they faced. Their Psychological
warfare experts came up with a message that they thought would work
well. They gave the script to their famous broadcaster "Tokyo Rose"
and everyday she would broadcast this same message packaged in various
ways hoping to have an impact on American GI morale.
What was the message? It had three main points:
1. Your President is lying to you.
2. This war is illegal.
3. You cannot win the war
Sound familiar?
Maybe it's because the Democrat Party has picked up the same message
and is broadcasting it to our troops. The only difference is that they
claim to support our troops before they demoralize them. Come to think
of it, Tokyo Rose used to tell the troops she was on their side.
Think about this next Election Day.
Let's see how many people vote for Tokyo Harry, Tokyo Teddy, Tokyo
Nancy , Tokyo Murtha, Tokyo John, or Tokyo Hillary.

"Why Are You Here?"
A man dressed as napoleon went to see a psychiatrist at the urging of his wife. "What's your problem?" the doctor asked?
"I have no problem," the man replied. "I'm one of the most famous people in the world. I have a great army behind me. I have all the money I'll ever need, and I live in great luxury."
"Then why are you here?"
"It's because of my wife," the man said. "She thinks she's Mrs.Levine."

Perfectly Made
When we put our house up for sale, I stressed emphatically that my
sons make their beds each morning. I left for work before they left
for school, and I wanted to be sure that the house looked presentable
when the agent showed it to prospective buyers.
I was surprised and impressed that my 15-year-old son's bed was
perfectly made each day. One night when I went into his room, I
discovered his secret.
He was fast asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag.

1. You've read the entire Dilbert page-a-day calendar for 2006 - and
it's only the middle of February.
2. You discover that staring at your cubicle wall long enough
produces images of Elvis ... Or maybe Mister Rogers.
3. You've definitively figured out a way to get Gilligan OFF the island.
4. You decide to see how many Jolt Colas you can drink before the
inevitable explosion occurs.

"Goober Ice Fishing"
If you are wondering what a Goober is, there is a picture of one at:
http://www.cybersalt.org/cleanlaugh/whatsagoober.htm
There were two good ol' boys from the South who love to fish, and they wanted to do some ice fishing. They'd heard about it up in Canada, so they took off up there. The lake was frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, "We're gonna need an ice pick." So they got that, and they took off.
In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're gonna need a dozen ice picks."
Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left.
In about an hour, he was back. Said, "We're gonna need all the ice picks you've got."
The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how's the fishing going?"
"Not very well at all," he said. "We ain't even got the boat in the water yet.

"Refined Shopping"
A very refined young man comes to a small food shop and sees fruit. "Give me two kilograms of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece of paper, please," he says to the saleswoman. She does it.
"And three kilograms of cherries, please, and wrap up every berry in a separate piece of paper, too." She does.
"And what is it there," he asks pointing out at something dark in the corner.
"Raisins," says the saleswoman, "but they're not for sale."

hUMOR For March 4th
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was submitted by a guy who purchased his lovely wife a
"pocket Taser" for their anniversary.
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop
that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd
anniversary, and I was looking for a little something extra
for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt,
pocket/purse-sized Taser. The consequences of the Taser were
supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse
effects on her assailant, allowing her adequate time to
retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I
loaded two triple-A batteries in the darn thing and pushed
the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however,
that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal
surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arch of
electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
Awesome!!!
Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn
spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to
myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two
triple-A batteries, right?!!!
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on
intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the
directions and thinking that I really needed to try this
thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I
thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second)
and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I
was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself
against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would
work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my
reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose,
directions in one hand, Taser in another. The directions
said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your
assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle
spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second
burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the
ground like a fish out of water.
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the
batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring
about 5 inches long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference --
pretty cute, really -- and loaded with two itsy, bitsy
triple-A batteries, thinking to myself, "No possible way!"
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do
my best.....
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head
cocked to one side as if to say, "Don't do it, master,"
reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little
ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.... I decided to give
myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched
the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door,
picked me up in the recliner, and then body slammed us both
on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely
recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with
tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, my
left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and
tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making
meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face,
undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, do it again!"
Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a
Taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a
one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go
of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a
violent thrashing about on the floor. A three-second burst
would be considered conservative.
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a
relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what
little I had left), sat up, and surveyed the landscape. My
bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace.
How did they get up there???
My triceps, right thigh, and both nipples were still
twitching. My face felt as if it had been shot up with
Novocain and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
Still in shock,
Tommy

The Brain
The relatives gathered in the waiting room at the
hospital where their family member lay gravely ill.
Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.
"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he
surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for
your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is
the only hope.
"Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have
to pay for the brain yourselves."
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the
news. After a great length of time, someone asked,
"Well, how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male
brain, and $200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not
to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but
some actually smirked.
A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the
question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male
brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and
explained to the entire group, "It's just standard
pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of
the female brains, because they've actually been
used."
SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND TO
THE MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT.

Thanks to JLH: Why you never hear 'Muslim jokes'
Jackie Mason
Muslim fundamentalists have decided that even if you
never saw or heard of the cartoons, you deserve to be
hit with rocks, have your car wrecked and your
embassies destroyed.
Ironic ally, the cartoonists were not insulting Islam;
they were satirizing fanaticism. Now the fanatics have
decided that there are no laws, limits or boundaries
that apply to their behavior. They not only have the
right to take your life; they now have the right to
rob you of your freedom of expression.
Could you picture a Jew killing anybody for such
meaningless reasons? If a Jew gets mad he might sneak
into your house and steal your Lipitor or he would
make a deal with your doctor to lie about your
cholesterol number, or just when you have fasted a
whole day on Yom Kippur he would sneak into your house
and steal all the pastrami sandwiches.
I never saw a Jew going into meaningless fights. That
is why you seldom see Jewish football players. A Jew
is not going to take a chance in spraining his neck or
tearing a ligament in his knee just because he was
fighting with somebody about catching a ball. He would
rather go to a store and buy another ball and avoid
the whole problem. That is why there are also no
Jewish hockey players. Hockey players spend all their
time hitting each other in the mouth with sticks.
When Jews saw how Gentiles played hockey, that is how
Jews found out that instead of becoming hockey players
they would become dentists, and that way they decided
to let other people play the game while they found a
way to make a profit from it.
Jews are never known to get into unnecessary physical
battles. That is why people are never afraid of being
attacked by a Jew. Did you ever hear anybody say,
'Don't go into that neighborhood, it is very
dangerous, there are a lot of Jews there?' Jews have
so long been accustomed to being threatened and
persecuted all over the world that they cou ld never
dream of creating needless violence anywhere, because
they would be grateful to find a place where they are
allowed to live in peace.
Meanwhile, the world is reacting with an amazing
cowardice. Instead of a collective fury, we are
pleading forgiveness and promising not to offend them
with any more cartoons. Could anything be more
perverted?

Weight Report
A small town doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish.
One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a
call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed
to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the doctor used his
fishing scales. The baby weighed 32 lb. 10 oz.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETTER FROM A FARM KID (now at Camp Pendleton, San Diego,
Marine Corps Recruit Training)
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are too. Tell Brother Walt and Brother
Elmer that the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch
by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the
places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till
nearly 6 a.m., but I am getting so I like to sleep late.
Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth
your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to
pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay...
practically nothing. Men got to shave but it's not so bad...
there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like
fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on
chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie, and other
regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by
the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours
holds you 'til noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder
these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says
are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my
place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far
as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet
and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a
school teacher. He nags a lot. The captain is like the
school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and
frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep
getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye
is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it
ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you
got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't
even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training.
You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real
careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting
with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in
this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I
only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but
I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300
pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join up before
other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding on in.
Your loving daughter,
Alice

Mommy Test
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She
picked up something off the ground and started to put
it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I
asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know
where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs," I
replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total
admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this
stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly, "All moms know this
stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or
they don't let you be a Mommy." We walked along in
silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information.
"Oh, I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the
test, you have to be the daddy."
"Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face
and joy in my heart.
When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom!

If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, TRY
THIS:
Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas,
visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
• Once there, demand that the local government
provide free medical care for you and your entire
family.
• Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
• Demand free bilingual local government
forms, bulletins, etc.
• Procreate abundantly. Deflect any criticism
of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior
with, "It is a cultural USA thing. You would not
understand, pal."
• Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old
Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your
front window or on your car bumper.
• Speak only English at home and in public and
insist that your children do likewise.
• Demand classes on American culture in the
Mexican school system.
• Demand a local Mexican driver license. This
will afford other legal rights and will go far to
legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in
Mexico.
• Drive around with no liability insurance and
ignore local traffic laws.
• Insist that local Mexican law enforcement
teach English to all its officers.
Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or
soon dead. It will never happen. It will not happen in
Mexico or any other country in the world except right
here in the United States, Land of the naive and
stupid, idiotic politically correct politicians.
If you agree, pass it on.
If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or
Iran.

A member of the senior adult class dropped by the presiding elder’s office on Friday morning and said, “Pastor, good news! I think I’m going to get married, but I’ve got a problem.” The pastor replied, “Congratulations, Fred, that is good news, ... but what could possibly be the problem?”
Fred -“Well, last night I asked Louise to marry me, but I can’t remember how she answered,”
Pastor- “Here’s the phone. Call her up and make sure.”
Fred (after dialing) – “Louise, this is Fred. This is embarrassing, so please bear with me. I can’t remember what your answer was last night when I asked you to marry me!”
Louise- “Well that solves a mystery for me that's bothered me all day! I was thinking somebody asked me to marry him, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember who it was.”
A small town doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish.
One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a
call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed
to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the doctor used his
fishing scales. The baby weighed 32 lb. 10 oz.

LETTER FROM A FARM KID (now at Camp Pendleton, San Diego,
Marine Corps Recruit Training)
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are too. Tell Brother Walt and Brother
Elmer that the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch
by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the
places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till
nearly 6 a.m., but I am getting so I like to sleep late.
Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth
your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to
pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay...
practically nothing. Men got to shave but it's not so bad...
there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like
fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on
chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie, and other
regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by
the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours
holds you 'til noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder
these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says
are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my
place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far
as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet
and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a
school teacher. He nags a lot. The captain is like the
school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and
frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep
getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye
is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it
ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you
got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't
even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training.
You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real
careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting
with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in
this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I
only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but
I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300
pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join up before
other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding on in.
Your loving daughter,
Alice

Mommy Test
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She
picked up something off the ground and started to put
it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I
asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know
where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs," I
replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total
admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this
stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly, "All moms know this
stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or
they don't let you be a Mommy." We walked along in
silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information.
"Oh, I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the
test, you have to be the daddy."
"Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face
and joy in my heart.
When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom!

Nose Ring
I was hanging out with a blonde friend of mine when we saw a woman
walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My
friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her
head?" I had to explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain
the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

1. Introduction: Why Do We Need Humans?
So you've decided to get yourself a human being. In doing
so, you've joined the millions of other cats who have
acquired these strange and often frustrating creatures.
There will be any number of times, during the course of your
association with humans, when you will wonder why you have
bothered to grace them with your presence.
What's so great about humans anyway? Why not just hang
around with other cats? Our greatest philosophers have
struggled with this question for centuries, but the answer
is actually rather simple:
THEY HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS.
Which makes them the perfect tools for such tasks as opening
doors, getting the lids off of cat food cans, changing
television stations, and other activities that we, despite
our other obvious advantages, find difficult to do
ourselves. True, chimps, orangutans, and lemurs also have
opposable thumbs, but they are nowhere as easy to train.
2. How and When to Get Your Human's Attention
Humans often erroneously assume that there are other, more
important activities than taking care of your immediate
needs, such as conducting business, spending time with their
families, or even sleeping.
Though this is dreadfully inconvenient, you can make this
work to your advantage by pestering your human at the moment
it is the busiest. It is usually so flustered that it will
do whatever you want it to do, just to get you out of its
hair. Not coincidentally, human teenagers follow this same
practice.
Here are some tried and true methods of getting your human
to do what you want:
Sitting on paper: An oldie but a goodie. If a human has
paper in front of it, chances are good it assumes the paper
is more important than you. It will often offer you a snack
to lure you away. Establish your supremacy over this wood
pulp product at every opportunity. This practice also works
well with computer keyboards, remote controls, car keys, and
small children.
Waking your human at odd hours: A cat's "golden time" is
between 3:30 and 4:30 in the morning. If you paw at your
human's sleeping face during this time, you have a better
than even chance that it will get up and, in an incoherent
haze, do exactly what you want. You may actually have to
scratch deep sleepers to get their attention; remember to
vary the scratch site to keep the human from getting
suspicious.
3. Punishing Your Human Being
Sometimes, despite your best training efforts, your human
will stubbornly resist bending to your whim. In these
extreme circumstances, you may have to punish your human.
Obvious punishments, such as scratching furniture or eating
household plants, are likely to backfire; the
unsophisticated humans are likely to misinterpret the
activities and then try to discipline YOU. Instead, we offer
these subtle but nonetheless effective alternatives:
* Use the cat box during an important formal dinner.
* Stare impassively at your human while it is attempting a
romantic interlude.
* Stand over an important piece of electronic equipment and
feign a hairball attack.
* After your human has watched a particularly disturbing
horror film, stand by the hall closet and then slowly back
away, hissing and yowling.
* While your human is sleeping, lie on its face.
4. Rewarding Your Human: Should Your Gift Still Be Alive?
The cat world is divided over the etiquette of presenting
humans with the thoughtful gift of a recently disembowelled
animal. Some believe that humans prefer these gifts already
dead, while others maintain that humans enjoy a slowly
expiring cricket or rodent just as much as we do, given
their jumpy and playful movements in picking the creatures
up after they've been presented.
After much consideration of the human psyche, we recommend
the following: cold-blooded animals (large insects, frogs,
lizards, garden snakes, and the occasional earthworm) should
be presented dead, while warm-blooded animals (birds,
rodents, your neighbour's Pomeranian) are better still
living. When you see the expression on your human's face,
you'll know it's worth it.
5. How Long Should You Keep Your Human?
You are obligated to your human for only one of your lives.
The other eight are up to you. We recommend mixing and
matching, though in the end, most humans (at least the ones
that are worth living with) are pretty much the same. But
what do you expect? They're humans, after all. Opposable
thumbs will take you only so far.

"House Calls"
A pipe burst in a doctor's house, and he called a plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed the doctor a bill for $600.
The doctor exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! Even I don't make that much as a doctor!"
The plumber waited for him to finish and quietly said, "Neither did I when I was a doctor."

"Investigation"
A woman had a beautiful black cat with white feet, named Socks. Socks spent his days outside and came indoors only at night. One cool October evening, he disappeared.
She searched for him high and low, for several days, but all in vain. The following spring, however, Socks reappeared, looking healthy and clean. She figured he'd just been out sowing his wild oats, and let it go at that.
Everything was back to normal until that autumn, when Socks once again disappeared. The next spring, just as the prior year, he returned. When it happened for the third year in a row, she became very perplexed, and decided to investigate. She started by asking her neighbors to see what, if any, information they might have.
She was down to the last house on the block, the home of an older couple. If they didn't have the answer, she wasn't sure where she would turn. So she went up and knocked on the door. The lady of the house answered, and she asked her, "By any chance, have you ever seen a black cat with 4 white feet around here?"
"A black cat?" the woman said. "With 4 white feet? Oh my, yes! He's the sweetest thing. My husband and I kept seeing him outside every fall. We hated it that the poor thing had to be out in the cold, so we decided that when we go south for the winter, we'd take him with us. He's been going to Florida with us every winter for the last few years."

Tracey, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those
nails away?"

on the wrong end; and I throw them away."

An hour later, feeling the heavy load of our packs, we
wondered if the end would ever come. "Men," our
sergeant yelled, "you're doing a fine job. We've
already covered four miles!"
Revitalized, we picked up the pace. "And," continued
Sarge, "we should reach the starting point any minute
now."

From fran -- BIBLE
A father was approached by his small son who told him
proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father
smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what
the Bible means? The little boy replied, "I really
do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "So tell me son, what does
the Bible mean?
"Thats easy, Daddy. It stands for 'Basic Instructions
Before Leaving Earth.'"

Thanks to CT: Churches in New Orleans
One of the local television stations in South
Louisiana actually aired an interview with a woman
from New Orleans.
The interviewer was a woman from a Boston affiliate,
so she asked the interviewee how such total and
complete devastation of the churches in the area had
affected their lives.
The woman replied," I don't know about all those other
people, but we haven't gone to Church's in years. We
gets our chicken from Popeye's."

Two blonde carpenters...
Two blondes with hammers, Sue and Tracey, were doing some carpentry work on a house.
Sue, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a
nail and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in.
Tracey, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those
nails away?"
Sue explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head
on the wrong end; and I throw them away."
Tracey got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! Those nails aren't defective!
They're for the other side of the house!"
