Dog Driver
As I drove into a parking lot, I noticed that a pickup truck with a dog sitting behind the wheel was rolling toward a female pedestrian. She seemed oblivious, so I hit my horn to get her attention. She looked up just in time to jump out of the way of the truck's path, and the vehicle bumped harmlessly into the curb and stopped.
I rushed to the woman's side to see if she was all right. "I'm fine," she assured me, "but I hate to think what could have happened to me if that dog hadn't honked."

Jack was first up in his foursome. Eyeing the ball, he swung his club and hooked his shot over the fence and down a road where the ball crashed through the windshield of an oncoming car. The startled driver lost control of his vehicle, and it spun into a parking lot and bounced off three cars.
Jack raced over to the crash scene and was relieved to find that no one was hurt. Almost immediately, a policeman arrived and approached Jack, who was standing next to the crashed car, eyeing his ball. "Just what are you going to do about this?" demanded the policeman.
Jack looked up and said, "Well, the first thing I'm going to
do is change my grip."

Why you shouldn't respond to chain messages.
If you send this message off to 20 people within the next 4 days, and each of them send this letter off to 20 other people within 4 days...
In 40 days, approximately 10 trillion of these messages will cross the Internet.
From day 40 to day 44, an additional 200 trillion of these messages will cross the Internet, at an average of 50 trillion messages per day.
From day 44 to 48, an additional 4,000 trillion of these messages will cross the Internet, at an average of 1,000 trillion messages a day, 41.7 trillion messages per hour, 694 billion messages per minute, or 11.6 billion messages per second.
Of course, the Internet will have ground to a complete halt way before then, and a good thing too, because by day 44 (assuming each man, woman and child in the world is tied to the Internet) you would have to respond to about 2 chain mail letters per second, sending off 20 responses each second, giving you 5/100 of a second to send each message. If you drop the ball, you will break about 1,800,000 chain letters per day, bringing almost two million times the bad luck upon yourself than if you broke the first chain letter to begin with.
The logical conclusion? It is better to break the initial chain letter and receive one dose of bad luck than to continue the chain letter, and by day 44, receive 1,800,000 doses of bad luck.
I knew one poor fellow who ended up in such a circumstance. He ended up having 287,345 heart attacks, losing 5,137 wives, got fired from at least 100,000 jobs, and was run over by a truck. His Visa card was also revoked. Nobody liked him anymore. He finally ended up committing suicide 459 times, but he was so unlucky, he was never successful. Finally, he resigned to the idea of not dying, and was immediately hit by a meteorite and vaporized. But his cells went on to experience even more bad luck.

BOUDREAUX IN COURT
Boudreaux had a bad vehicle accident, caused by a
truck. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer
was questioning Boudreaux. "Didn't you say, at the
scene of the accident, "I'm fine," the lawyer asked?
Boudreaux responded, "Mais, Let me told you what
happened. Me, I had jus loaded my favorite mule,
Bessie, into da . . . . "
"I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer
interrupted. "Just answer the question? Did you not
say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!"?
Boudreaux said, "I had jus got Bessie into da trailer
and I was driving down da road . . ."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am
trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of
the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on
the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks
after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I
believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in
Boudreaux's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like
to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule,
Bessie".
Boudreaux thanked the Judge and proceeded, " I had
just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer
and was driving her down da highway when dis huge
semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my
truck right in da side. Me, I was thrown into one
ditch and Bessie was thrown into da udder. I was
hurting, real bad and didn't want to move at tall.
But, I could herd ole Bessie moanin and groanin. Me,
I knew she was in some kind o' terrible shape just by
her groans."
"Shortly after da accident, a Highway Patrolman, he
came on da scene. He herd Bessie moanin' and groanin'
so, him, he went over ta her. After he took hisself a
look at her, he took out his gun and shot her between
da eyes. Den da Patrolman came cross da road, gun in
hand, and looked at me, and said 'How are you
feeling?'"
"Now what would you say?"

Power Outage
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was betteron his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally, God Said, "Cool it! I am going to set up a test which willtake two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at their keyboards and typed away.
They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sentfaxes.
They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. Theydownloaded.
They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did everyknown job.
Suddenly, 10 minutes before the time was up, lightning suddenlyflashed across sky, thunder and the rain poured down and, of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known.
Jesus just sighed.
The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restartedtheir computers.
Satan started searching frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's allgone! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his files from thepast two hours.
Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait! He must havecheated! How did he do it????!"
(You'll love the punch line...)
God shrugged and said,"JESUS SAVES"...

Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat
and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly
removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing
vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while
you chop away.
3. Avoid arguments with the missus about lifting the
toilet seat by simply peeing in the sink.
4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself
and bleed for a while, thus reducing the pressure in
your veins.
5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock,
will prevent you from rolling over and going back to
sleep when you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad toothache? Hit your thumb with a hammer,
then you will forget about the toothache.
Sometimes We Just Need to Remember What The Rules of

You need only two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
The five most essential words for a healthy, vital

Heartfelt
Jimmy was at his first day of school. The teacher advised the class to start the day with the Pledge of Allegiance, and instructed them to put their right hands over their hearts and repeat after him. He looked around the room as he started the recitation, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..."
When the teacher's eyes fell on Jimmy, he noticed his hand over the right cheek of his behind.
"James, I will not continue till you put your hand over your heart."
Jimmy replied, "It is over my heart."
After several attempts to get Jimmy to put his hand over his heart, the teacher asked, "Why do you think that is your heart?"
"Because, every time my Grandma comes to visit, she picks me up, pats me here, and says, 'Bless your little heart,' and my Grandma wouldn't lie."

How Fathers Were Created
When the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A
female angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that? If you're going to
make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high?
He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed
without bending or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping. And God
smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make him childsize, who would children have
to look up to?"
And when God made a father's hands, they were large and sinewy. The angel
shook her head sadly and said, "Large hands are clumsy. They can't manage
diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on ponytails or even remove
splinters caused by baseball bats." And God smiled and said, "I know, but
they're large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his
pockets at the end of a day, yet small enough to cup a child's face."
And then God molded long, slim legs and broad shoulders. The angel nearly
had a heart attack. "Boy, this is the end of the week, all right," she
clucked. "Do you realize you just made a father without a lap? How is he
going to pull a child close to him without the kid falling between his
legs?" And God smiled and said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs
strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle or hold a
sleepy head on the way home from the circus."
God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever
seen when the angel could contain herself no longer. "That's not fair. Do
you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in
the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party
without crushing at least three of the guests?" And God smiled and said,
"They'll work. You'll see. They'll support a small child who wants to ride
a horse to Banbury Cross or scare off mice at the summer cabin or display
shoes that will be a challenge to fill."
God worked throughout the night, giving the father few words but a firm,
authoritive voice and eyes that saw everything but remained calm and
tolerant. Finally, almost as an afterthought, He added tears. Then He
turned to the angel and said, "Now, are you satisfied that he can love as
much as a mother?"
The angel shutteth up.

A few personal thoughts to close this special GCF.
Father's Day in the United States is the third Sunday in June. This year it
is June 19. In a nutshell, Father's Day was first observed in Spokane,
Washington in 1910. Over the next decade, cities across America began
celebrating a day for fathers and in 1924 President Calvin Coolidge
supported the idea of a national Father's Day. It wasn't until 1966 that
President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the
3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon
established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on
the third Sunday of June. This came almost sixty years after Mother's Day
had been proclaimed a National day of observance.
My father passed away nearly 5 years ago, but his memory lives on in my
heart each and every day. He lived 250 miles away and on the drive back
home from visiting family, I realized that I had not gotten to shake his
hand in several months. He always believed in a firm handshake and even
after his body became frail, the firmness of his handshake remained. I also
miss his always cheery greeting of "Hi there, number one son."
GCF was suspended for a week back in August of 2000 and during that time I
received hundreds of emails from GCF subscribers. These emails contained
many kind words and thoughts conveyed to me and my family, but the words of
one person said it all in one concise sentence. I apologize to the person
who sent it because I cannot remember your name, but your words said it best:
"You are blessed to have a father who let you know, just by how he
addressed you, how much you are loved."
If your father is no longer here, remember his memory with joy. If you are
lucky enough to have your father still around, be happy with him and enjoy
the day.

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a
very secluded, rural area of Georgia.
After spending a great evening chatting the night
away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon,
eggs and toast.
However, as he was eating, John noticed a film like
substance on his plate and questioned his grandfather
asking, "Are these plates clean?"
His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold
water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your
meal sonny!"
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"
Without looking up the old man said, "I told you
before sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water
can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear
another word about it!"
Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby
town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog
started to growl and wouldn't let him pass. John
yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me

paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00
for a toilet seat.Please find enclosed four toilet
seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029).
This brings my total payment to $3429.00.Please note
the overpayment of $22.00 and apply it to the
"Presidential Election Fund," as noted on my return.
Might I suggest you then send the above mentioned fund
a 1.5 inch screw." (See attached article...HUD paid

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE
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 car , an Armed
Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the
Phillips residence. Of course, the police 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!"

A Kleptomaniac
A kleptomaniac woman had been caught shoplifting in a supermarket and had to appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for marital support. The prosecution proved that the theft had taken place so the judge told her that, considering her record, he was forced to impose a jail term.
"This time you stole a can of tomatoes. Let us suppose
that there were six tomatoes in the can. Do you
agree?"
The woman agreed. "Then I sentence you to six nights
in jail."
The husband jumped to his feet , addressing the judge,
"Your honor, may I approach the bench?"
"Well," said his honor, this is somewhat unusual but I
will make an exception in this case. You may approach
the bench."
The husband wasted no time getting there and, leaning
forward, he said in a low voice, "She also stole a can
of peas, your honor."

American tribes could participate in Native American Culture classes. The
program was for elementary to high school students.
One of my third grade students took home the paper work for his parents to
fill out. The parents were to list the name of their family's tribe. The
next morning Joe came running excitedly into the classroom shouting and
waving his application, "Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. Abbott I found out what I am! I
am part parakeet!"

How Fathers Were Created
When the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A
female angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that? If you're going to
make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high?
He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed
without bending or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping. And God
smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make him childsize, who would children have
to look up to?"
And when God made a father's hands, they were large and sinewy. The angel
shook her head sadly and said, "Large hands are clumsy. They can't manage
diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on ponytails or even remove
splinters caused by baseball bats." And God smiled and said, "I know, but
they're large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his
pockets at the end of a day, yet small enough to cup a child's face."
And then God molded long, slim legs and broad shoulders. The angel nearly
had a heart attack. "Boy, this is the end of the week, all right," she
clucked. "Do you realize you just made a father without a lap? How is he
going to pull a child close to him without the kid falling between his
legs?" And God smiled and said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs
strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle or hold a
sleepy head on the way home from the circus."
God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever
seen when the angel could contain herself no longer. "That's not fair. Do
you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in
the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party
without crushing at least three of the guests?" And God smiled and said,
"They'll work. You'll see. They'll support a small child who wants to ride
a horse to Banbury Cross or scare off mice at the summer cabin or display
shoes that will be a challenge to fill."
God worked throughout the night, giving the father few words but a firm,
authoritive voice and eyes that saw everything but remained calm and
tolerant. Finally, almost as an afterthought, He added tears. Then He
turned to the angel and said, "Now, are you satisfied that he can love as
much as a mother?"
The angel shutteth up.

A few personal thoughts to close this special GCF.
Father's Day in the United States is the third Sunday in June. This year it
is June 19. In a nutshell, Father's Day was first observed in Spokane,
Washington in 1910. Over the next decade, cities across America began
celebrating a day for fathers and in 1924 President Calvin Coolidge
supported the idea of a national Father's Day. It wasn't until 1966 that
President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the
3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon
established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on
the third Sunday of June. This came almost sixty years after Mother's Day
had been proclaimed a National day of observance.
My father passed away nearly 5 years ago, but his memory lives on in my
heart each and every day. He lived 250 miles away and on the drive back
home from visiting family, I realized that I had not gotten to shake his
hand in several months. He always believed in a firm handshake and even
after his body became frail, the firmness of his handshake remained. I also
miss his always cheery greeting of "Hi there, number one son."
GCF was suspended for a week back in August of 2000 and during that time I
received hundreds of emails from GCF subscribers. These emails contained
many kind words and thoughts conveyed to me and my family, but the words of
one person said it all in one concise sentence. I apologize to the person
who sent it because I cannot remember your name, but your words said it best:
"You are blessed to have a father who let you know, just by how he
addressed you, how much you are loved."
If your father is no longer here, remember his memory with joy. If you are
lucky enough to have your father still around, be happy with him and enjoy
the day.

Dishwasher...
John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a
very secluded, rural area of Georgia.
After spending a great evening chatting the night
away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon,
eggs and toast.
However, as he was eating, John noticed a film like
substance on his plate and questioned his grandfather
asking, "Are these plates clean?"
His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold
water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your
meal sonny!"
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"
Without looking up the old man said, "I told you
before sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water
can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear
another word about it!"
Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby
town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog
started to growl and wouldn't let him pass. John
yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me
get to my car!"
Without diverting his attention from the football game
he was watching on TV, the old man shouted ..... "COLD
WATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE
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 car , an Armed
Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the
Phillips residence. Of course, the police 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!"

A Kleptomaniac
A kleptomaniac woman had been caught shoplifting in a supermarket and had to appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for marital support. The prosecution proved that the theft had taken place so the judge told her that, considering her record, he was forced to impose a jail term.
"This time you stole a can of tomatoes. Let us suppose
that there were six tomatoes in the can. Do you
agree?"
The woman agreed. "Then I sentence you to six nights
in jail."
The husband jumped to his feet , addressing the judge,
"Your honor, may I approach the bench?"
"Well," said his honor, this is somewhat unusual but I
will make an exception in this case. You may approach
the bench."
The husband wasted no time getting there and, leaning
forward, he said in a low voice, "She also stole a can
of peas, your honor."

My wife was complaining that I spend too much time on the computer, and not enough time with her. I decided to fix that by having a "movie night" with her.

She's still mad at me. What did I do?

W1: Oh no! No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think.
W2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck.
W1: Oh, that's funny! I would love to have your neck!
W2: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms, see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.

And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in

Sermon complete, he then sat down.

The Poor Preacher
After worship service one Sunday, a little boy walked
up to the minister and handed him a quarter. The
minister asked why did he give him the money. The
little boy said, "Because my dad said you needed it
and I want to help you out."
The minister asked why he thought that way and the
little boy responded, "Because my dad said you were
the poorest preacher he had met."

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," the nun
said while patting his hand. "We do have to know,
however, how you intend to pay for your stay here.
Are you covered by insurance?"
"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely. "Can you
pay in cash?" "I'm afraid I can't, Sister."
"Do you have any close relatives, then?" "Just my
sister in New Mexico, but she's a spinster nun." said
the man. "Nuns are not spinsters, Mr. Smith," the
nun replied. "They are married to God." The man
said with a smile, "Okay, then bill my
brother-in-law."

Arriving back at the dorm late one evening, my roommate explained that she had gotten lost in the school library. No one was surprised, since the library is large and has a confusing layout.
When I asked how long it took her to find an exit, she admitted she hadn't actually found the exit herself. She had used an emergency phone to call for help. Puzzled, I asked, "How did your rescuers find you if you didn't know where you were?"
"Easy," she said. "I started reading titles of books around me, and they located my position from the card catalogue."

Guests arrive, and all is going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown has not shown up, and finally, the clown calls to report that he is stuck in traffic, and will probably not make the party at all.
The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to entertain the children herself.She happens to look out the window and sees one of the goobers doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree branches, does midair flips, and leaps high in the air. She speaks to the other goober and says, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvellous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party? I would pay him $50!"
The goober replies, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him."
"HEY NEIL! FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"

Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day
April through October . He said it works. He was
right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
Vitamin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat bananas, the mosquitos like you, -
something about the banana oil as your body processes
it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the
mosquitos will be much less interested.
This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub.
Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off
a smell that bugs do not like, so plant some in that
garden also to help ward off bugs without using
insecticides.
"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time
"camping out" say that the very best mosquito
repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil
mixed about half and half with alcohol.
One of the best natural insect repellants that I've
discovered is made from the clear real vanilla. This
is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works
great for mosquitoes and ticks, don't know about other
insects.
When all else fails--get a frog...
Fight West Nile.....pass this along to all your
friends in skeeter land!!!

Ken and Melba had finished their breakfast at the retirement home and were relaxing in the library. "You know," said Melba, "today, in most marriage
ceremonies, they don't use the word 'obey' anymore."
"Too bad, isn't it?" retorted Ken. "It used to lend a little humor to the
occasion."
Time Management
The church wanted to help their congregation cope better with the stresses of modern life, and decided to offer a course in Time Management.
Soon after the course was announced, a member telephoned the Pastor.
"What time does the course start, Pastor?"
The Pastor replied, "Oh... sixish, sevenish...."

Behavior Modification
An elementary school teacher, well versed in educational jargon, asked for a small allotment of money for "behavior modification reinforcers."
The principal saw the item and asked, "What on earth are those?"
"Lollipops," the teacher explained.

Budget
I've been working on my budget.

During a sermon one Sunday, the pastor heard two teenage
girls in the back giggling and disturbing people.
He interrupted his sermon and announced sternly, "There are
two of you here who have not heard a word I've said." That quieted them down.
When the service was over, he went to greet people at the
front door. Three different adults apologized for going to sleep in church, promising it would never happen again.

One day a blonde was riding on an airplane. There was a loud noise that came from outside the plane. The captain came on the intercom, "Attention passengers, we just lost one of our engines; but don't worry, the other three engines will keep us up. Also, we will arrive at our destination about an hour behind schedule."
Half an hour later, another loud noise sounded from outside
the plane. The captain once again came on the intercom, "Attention passengers, do not be alarmed. We lost another engine, but the other two will still keep us flying. We will arrive at our destination about three hours late."
After the captain said this, the blonde leaned over to the passenger next to her and said, "If those other two engines go out, we'll be up here forever."

A tourist is visiting New York City when his car breaks down. He jumps out and starts fiddling under the hood. About five minutes later, he hears some thumping sounds and looks around to see someone taking stuff out of his trunk.
He runs around and yells, "Hey, bud, this is my car!"
"Okay," the man says, "You take the front and I'll take the back."

The Wedding Plans
George, age 92, and Edith, age 89, had been seeing
each other for 2 years when they decided that life
was too short and they might as well be together for
the rest of their lives. Excited about their decision
to become newlyweds, they went for a stroll to discuss
the wedding and what plans need to be made.
Along their way, they found themselves in front of a
drugstore. George said to his bride-to-be, "Let's go
in. I have idea." They walked to the rear of the
store and addressed the man behind the counter:
"Are you the owner?" asked George.
The pharmacist answered, "Yes sir, I am. How can I
help you?"
George: "Do you sell heart medications?"
Pharmacist: "Of course we do."
George: "How about support hose for circulation?"
Pharmacist: "Definitely."
George: "What about medications for rheumatism,
osteoporosis & arthritis?"
Pharmacist: "All kinds."
George: "How about waterproof furniture pads &

Surprised, I said that my colleague was far more experienced than I was.

Stress Relief
As an assistant professor, I taught during the day and did research at
night. I would usually take a break around eight, however, to play the
strategy game Warcraft online with a teammate. (Because the game is online,
the team players do not see each other since they are playing from
different locations, sometimes in different cities or countries).
One night I was paired with a veteran of the game who was a master
strategist. With him at the helm, our troops crushed one opponent after
another, and after six games we were undefeated. Suddenly, my fearless
leader informed me his mom wanted him to go to bed.
"How old are you?" I typed.
"Twelve," he replied. "How old are you?"
Feeling my face redden, I typed back, "Ten."

"I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three, "but if my great grandfather was living today he'd be the most famous man in the world."
"Really? What'd he do?" his friends wanted to know.
"Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old."

Grandma Thanks
A grandmother was headed out the door to go to church one Sunday when she got a call from her daughter. 'Would Grandma like to have her three little grandchildren visit while her daughter and son-in-law took a five-day holiday trip?' Grandma was so delighted she put five dollars in the collection basket at church and thanked the Lord.
The Sunday after the grandchildren had returned home, she put twenty dollars in the collection.

A client brought a litter of golden retriever puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet, wet my fingers, and moistened each dog's head when I had finished.
After the fourth puppy, I noticed my hitherto talkative
client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized."

The temperature had taken an overnight plunge, and Minnesota reaffirmed its reputation as one of the nation's coldest states. Despite a wind-chill of minus 40, the steelworkers erecting a TV tower in a Minneapolis, St. Paul suburb, showed up for work. By 9 A.M., a tall Texan climbed down from the tower and entered the office trailer. He took his lunch pail from the shelf and headed for the door.
"What's up?" the foreman asked. "You sick?"
"Nope," the Texan replied. "Goin' home to get my jacket."
"Where's home?" the foreman persisted.
"Dallas," he said.

Speeding Farmer
After pulling a farmer over for speeding, a state
trooper started to lecture him about his speed,
pompously implying that the farmer didn't know any
better and trying to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. He finally started writing out the ticket, but had to keep swatting at some flies buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there are ya?" The trooper paused to take another swat and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle flies." The farmer was pleased to enlighten the cop. "Circle flies are common on farms. They're called circle flies because you almost always find them circling the back end of a horse." The trooper continues writing for a moment, then says," Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?" "Oh no, officer." The farmer replies. "I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers for that." "That's a good thing," the officer says rudely, then goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer added, "Hard to fool them flies, though."

In the trenches of the First World War a load of
troops are hemmed in by the Germans and they're
awaiting orders via a carrier pigeon.
They see the pigeon approaching with a message and
then the pigeon falls from the sky.
The Captain then asks for a volunteer to go and get
the message from the pigeon--nobody steps forward
except daft Paddy. He says, "I'll go for my country".
Anyway, he crawls out of the trench and all you hear
are bullets, mortar, bombs, etc. and everyone thinks
Paddy is dead.
Two hours later Paddy arrives back into the trench and
everyone cheers for his safe return.
The Captain asks, "Did you get to the pigeon?"
Paddy says, "Yes".
The Captain says, "Did it have a message?"
Paddy says, "Yes".
The Captain says, "What was the message?"
Paddy says, "Coo! Coo!"
Grandma Thanks
A grandmother was headed out the door to go to church one Sunday when she got a call from her daughter. 'Would Grandma like to have her three little grandchildren visit while her daughter and son-in-law took a five-day holiday trip?' Grandma was so delighted she put five dollars in the collection basket at church and thanked the Lord.
The Sunday after the grandchildren had returned home, she put twenty dollars in the collection.

A client brought a litter of golden retriever puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet, wet my fingers, and moistened each dog's head when I had finished.
After the fourth puppy, I noticed my hitherto talkative
client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized."

The temperature had taken an overnight plunge, and Minnesota reaffirmed its reputation as one of the nation's coldest states. Despite a wind-chill of minus 40, the steelworkers erecting a TV tower in a Minneapolis, St. Paul suburb, showed up for work. By 9 A.M., a tall Texan climbed down from the tower and entered the office trailer. He took his lunch pail from the shelf and headed for the door.
"What's up?" the foreman asked. "You sick?"
"Nope," the Texan replied. "Goin' home to get my jacket."
"Where's home?" the foreman persisted.
"Dallas," he said.

Exercise Program
Here is an exercise program for those of us whose wisdom exceeds our ambition. The doctor told me "Physical exercise is good for you." I know that I should do it, but my body is out of shape, so I have worked out this easy daily program I can do anywhere. If I can do it, you can do this, too.
Monday:Beat around the bush.Jump to conclusions.Climb the walls.Wade through paperwork.
Tuesday:Drag my heels.Push my luck.Make mountains out of molehills.Hit the nail on the head.
Wednesday:Bend over backwards.Jump on the bandwagon.Balance the books.Run around in circles.
Thursday:Toot my own horn.Climb the ladder of success.Pull out the stops.Add fuel to the fire.
Friday:Open a can of worms.Put my foot in my mouth.Start the ball rolling.Go over the edge.
Saturday:Pick up the pieces.

A little girl was in church with her mother when she started feeling ill.
"Mommy," she said, "can we leave now?"
"No," her mother replied.
"Well, I think I'm gonna be sick, Mommy!"
"Then go out the front door and around to the back of the church and then behind a bush."
After about 60 seconds the little girl returned to her seat.
"Were you sick?" her mom asked.
"Yes."
"How could you have gone all the way to the back of the
church and returned so quickly?"
"I didn't have to go out of the church, Mommy. They have a
box next to the front door that says, 'For the Sick.'"

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed out
woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned
yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing,
stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have
beaten the red light by accelerating through the
intersection. The tailgating woman hit the roof, and
the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her
chance to get through the intersection.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her
window and looked up into the face of a very serious
police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her
car with her hands up. He took her to the police
station where she was sea! rched, finger printed,
photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the
cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to
the booking desk where the arresting officer was
waiting with her personal effects. He said, I'm
very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up
behind your car while you were blowing your horn,
flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a
blue streak at him.
I noticed the Choose Life license plate holder, the
What Would Jesus Do? bumper sticker, the Follow Me to Sunday-School bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car. Priceless!!

a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am, and then my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."
That night, on a meal of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned

Say What?
A research team proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a
sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of
which was unspecified.
One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to
the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the
second member of the team performed a self-rotational translation oriented
in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In simple English what does this translate to??
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am, and then my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."
That night, on a meal of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned
in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to
herself and thought, "I don't think so!"

Say What?
A research team proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a
sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of
which was unspecified.
One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to
the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the
second member of the team performed a self-rotational translation oriented
in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In simple English what does this translate to??
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

********************************
/* If you are not familiar with golf, you probably won't get these. Ask your closest golf player. */
1. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.
2. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.
3. If you are afraid a full shot might reach the green while the group ahead are still putting, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.
4. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to
share his ideas about the golf swing.
5. If it isn't broke, try changing your grip.
6. Golfers who claim they don't cheat also lie.
7. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach
shot.
8. A golf match is a test of your skill against your
opponent's luck.
9. It's surprisingly easy to sink a 50 foot putt when you
lie.
10. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
11. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
12. It's not a gimme putt if you're still away.
13. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the large tree.
14. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces and
bounces just the way you intended to play it.
15. You can hit a two-acre fairway 10% of the time and a
2-inch branch on a tree 90% of the time.
16. Every time a golfer makes a birdie he must subsequently make three triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
17. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods try to hit just short of a water hazard.
18. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example, backswing 20 miles per hour, handicap, 15, downswing 300 m.p.h.
19. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your
hands: how many hands you have, and which hand is wearing
the golf glove.
20. Hazards attract; Fairways repel.
21. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on
the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.
22. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is
not yours.
23. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the
bunker, your ball is in the bunker.
24. If both balls are in the sand, yours is in the
footprint.
25. Don't buy a putter until you have had a chance to throw
it.
26. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors.
********************************
A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating the husband's 60th birthday. During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years, and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand.
Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman 30 years younger than me."
The fairy waved her wand and POOF! He was 90.
********************************
This is without a doubt, some
mighty fine advice.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it
cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get
older, their conversational skills will be as
important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have
or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in
the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get
married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't
have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love ! deeply and passionately. You might get
hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't
want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to
know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great
achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self;
Respect for others; and responsibility for all your
actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great
friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller
will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and
touches your heart.
********************************
BUZZARD
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet
and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of
its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The
reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from
the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space
to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to
fly but will remain a prisoner for life in a small
jail with no top.
BAT
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a
remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off
from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or
flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly
and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
BUMBLEBEE
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be
there until it dies unless it is taken out. It never
sees the means of escape at the top but persists in
trying to find some way out through the sides near the
bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.
PEOPLE
In many ways, there are lots of people like the
buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. They are
struggling about with all their problems and
frustrations, not ever realizing that all they have to
do is look up.

University Parking
A friend of mine found a way to reduce the high costs of parking tickets at
the University. He discovered that when in a pinch for a parking space,
the fine for parking on the grass is much less than parking in a faculty
space. He also found that he could "re-use" a ticket by putting it back
under his windshield the next time he parked. (By the way, neither of these
are recommended.)

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.
3. Make a trail of oramge juice on the floor leading

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an
official tone,' Code 3' in housewares......and see
what happens.
5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's
on lay away.
6. Move a ' CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted
area.
7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell
other shoppers you'll invite them in if they bring
pillows from the bedding department.
8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to
cry and ask,"Why can't you people just leave me
alone?"
9. Look right into the security camera, use it as a
mirror and pick your nose.
10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask
the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
11. Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the theme from "Mission Impossible."
12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna
look" using different size funnels.
13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse
through, say "PICK ME!" PICK ME!"
14. When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker,
assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's
those voices again!!!!"
And last but not least
15. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a
while and then yell loudly, "There is no toilet paper
in here!"

Wash the Cat
Here's a great way to clean the kitty.
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet
water, and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him
to the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet
and close the lid.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides
a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be
quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and
ensure that there are no people between the toilet and
the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and
quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet
and run outside, where he will dry himself.

Women Vs. Men! LoL
WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her
daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her
boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her
husband is on the back of the milk carton.
WOMEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items
the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her
wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set
in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, " but my husband refused to come
shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil
thing I could do to him legally."
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never
understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it
onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.
MARRIAGE SEMINAR
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with
communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's
favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and
whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles,
not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an
argument and neither of them wanted to concede their
position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
he husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.The
wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to
repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to
his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you
can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same
time.
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me
beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made
me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up
first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get
our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking
around here and you should do it, because that is your
job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it
is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it
indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would
need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early
morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and
LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me
at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find
it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it
was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he
was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened
him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the
masterpiece.

shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil
thing I could do to him legally."
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never
understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it
onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.
MARRIAGE SEMINAR
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with
communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's
favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and
whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles,
not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an
argument and neither of them wanted to concede their
position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
he husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.The
wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to
repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to
his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you
can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same
time.
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me
beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made
me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up
first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get
our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking
around here and you should do it, because that is your
job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it
is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it
indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would
need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early
morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and
LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me
at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find
it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it
was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he
was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened
him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the
masterpiece.

Every Word
A professor asked a student to remain for a few moments after class. Holding out the young man's assignment, the professor said, "Did you write this poem all by yourself?"
The student said, "Every word of it."
The professor said, "Well, then, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Poe. I thought you were long dead."
********************************
Here is today's CleanQuote.
"Fine: A tax for doing wrong. Tax: A fine for doing well."
********************************
A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he announced.
Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and
missed.
"Strike One!" he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball
and said again, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!"
He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed. "Strike Two!" he cried.
The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!"
Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed. "Strike Three!"
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "I'm also the greatest pitcher in the world!"
********************************
Two men are driving through Texas when they get pulled over by a state trooper. The trooper walks up and taps on the window with his nightstick, the driver rolls down the window and "WHACK," the trooper smacks him in the head with the stick.
The driver says, "What was that for?"
The trooper says, "You're in Texas, son. When we pull you over, you better have your license ready when we get to your car."
The driver says, "I'm sorry, officer, I'm not from around here."
The trooper runs a check on the guy's license, and he's clean. He gives the guy his license back and walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window. The passenger rolls his window down, and "WHACK," the trooper smacks him with the nightstick, too.
The passenger says, "What did you do that for?"
The trooper says, "Just making your wish come true."
The passenger says, "Huh?"
The trooper says, "I know that two miles down the road you're gonna say, 'I wish that jerk would've tried that with me.'"

Fish Heads
A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor's quick
wit and intelligence.
"Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"
"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering his
voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and
faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of
them, you'll be positively brilliant."
"You sell them here?" the customer asks.
"Only $4 apiece," says Green.
The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store complaining
that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn't any smarter.
"You didn't eat enough, " says Green. The customer goes home with 20 more
fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really angry.
"Hey, Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for $4 a piece when I
can buy the whole fish for $2. You're ripping me off!"
"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."
********************************
Baseball in HeavenTwo ninety-one year old men, Moe and Sam, have been friends all their lives.It seems that Sam is dying of cancer, and Moe comes to visit him every day."Sam," says Moe, "You know how we have both loved baseball all our lives, and how we played minor league ball together for so many years. Sam, you have to do me one favor. When you get to Heaven, and I know you will go to Heaven, somehow you've got to let me know if there's baseball in Heaven."Sam looks up at Moe from his death bed, and says, "Moe, you've been my best friend many years. This favor, if it is at all possible, I'll do for you."And shortly after that, Sam passes on.It is midnight a couple of nights later. Moe is sound asleep when he isawakened by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calls out to him,"Moe.... Moe....""Who is it?" says Moe sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?""Moe, it's me, Sam.""Come on. You're not Sam. Sam just died.""I'm telling you," insists the voice. "It's me, Sam!""Sam? Is that you? Where are you?""I'm in heaven," says Sam, "and I've got to tell you, I've got really good news and a little bad news.""So, tell me the good news first," says Moe."The good news," says Sam "is that there is baseball in heaven. Better yet, all our old buddies who've gone before us are there. Better yet, we're all young men again. Better yet, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play baseball all we want, and we never get tired!""Really?" says Moe, "That is fantastic, wonderful beyond my wildest dreams! But,what's the bad news?""You're pitching next Tuesday!"
********************************
Good Ol' Boys
This IT manager works at a manufacturing plant where, he says, friendship
is thicker than employment.
"Management has often suspected some of the good ol' boys clocking in their
buddies who routinely come in late," he reports. "The union contract
specifically stated no surveillance systems are allowed, and management
couldn't prove anything until the day one of the gang called in sick
shortly after his shift started -- but he was already clocked in!"
Plant boss is at his wits' end. But the manager gets an idea. He's already
made friends with one of the plant's more popular workers, who likes to
tinker with computers, and fish thinks the guy might be willing to help.
"I was happy to give him obsolete equipment and help him with computer
problems, so we'd built a nice rapport," he says. "And he was an honest
fellow -- in fact, he was quite upset that the others were stealing from
the company.
"So the morning after a long holiday weekend, he went out and stood by the
time clock with a laptop and looked up at a dark area of the ceiling 45
feet high. Then he looked at the screen and hit some random keys.
"He did this a few times until he made sure some of the workers noticed him
out there, and then went back into the office.
A little while later, the manager sends the worker out to stand by the
clock and wave his hand at the ceiling. After a minute or two, he comes out
of the office and tells him, "That's great, thanks."
It's not long before other shop workers ask their co-worker what he was
doing. "He just replied, 'Oh, nothing,' with a big grin," the manager says.
"They said, 'They put in a camera system, didn't they?' to which the worker
just replied, 'I don't know what you're talking about.'
"Rumors of a surveillance system spread like wildfire. The union obviously
couldn't prove that a camera system was installed, because there never was
one.
"And the good ol' boys stopped clocking in their buddies -- because now
they thought they'd get caught for sure."

hUMOR For June 3rd
********************************
Easy Operation?
A man was wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital in his
wheelchair, just before his operation.
A nurse stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?"
He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't
worry. I'm sure it will be all right.'"
"She was just trying to comfort you. What's so frightening about that?"
"She wasn't talking to me. She was talking to the doctor!"
********************************
College Cure
Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a long day in the city. One asked the other, "Your son go back to college yet?"
"Two days ago."
"Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May, he'll be an engineer. What's your boy going to be when he gets out of college?"
"At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty."
"No, I mean what's he taking in college?"
"He's taking every penny I make."
"Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough?"
"He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil."
"Well, has sending him to college done anything at all?"
"Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of bragging about him."
********************************
An atheist professor was teaching a college class and he
told the class that he was going to prove that there was no God. He said, "God if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"
Ten minutes went by. He kept taunting God, saying, "Here I
am God, I'm still waiting." He got down to the last couple
of minutes and a big 240-pound football player happened to
walk by the door and heard what the professor said. The football player walked into the classroom and in the last minute, hit the professor full force, sending him flying off the platform.
The professor got up, obviously shaken, and said, "Where did you come from, and why did you do that?"
The football player replied, "God was busy; He sent me!"

Tips for Rednecks
IN GENERAL
1. Never take a adult beverages to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting
at them.
3. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change
the sheets.
5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the
will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul
to the funeral home.
DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the
paper cup, and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the
fruit of the vine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold
it with your fingers covering the label.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centerpiece for the table should never be
anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no
matter how good his manners are.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a
job that should be done in private using one's OWN
truck keys.
2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for
several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is
a waste of good money.
3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social
no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry
and alter the taste of her finger foods.
DATING (Outside the Family)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially
on the first date.
THEATER ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and
picked up immediately after the movie has ended.
2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen.
Tests have proven they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS
1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding
gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get
you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit
with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create
a tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes
for this special occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even
if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with
the largest tires always has the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct
tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas
can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back more
beverages.5. Do not "burn rubber" while traveling in a funeral procession.
