"Teenagers and Cats"

For all of you with teenagers or who had teenagers, you may want to know
why they really have a lot in common with cats:

1. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by
name.

2. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane
efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting
on them hand and foot.

3. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human
being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right
mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.

4. Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno, neither your cat nor you
teen will ever crack a smile.

5. No cat or teenager shares your taste in music.

6. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end
without moving, barely breathing.

7. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did.

8. Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner, communicating
that ultimate human ecstasy -- a sense of complete and utter boredom.

9. Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone's furniture.

10. Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been known to
return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your
bedroom.

Teenagers are not above that sort of behavior. Thus, if you must raise
teenagers, the best sources of advice are not other parents, but
veterinarians. It is also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at
hand at all times. And remember, above all else, put out the food and do
not make any sudden moves in their direction.

When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some
affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all
concerned.

During rehearsal, the high school Music Director was beside himself. The
cymbal player in the band was constantly coming in at the wrong time
with his cymbal clash.

The young man maintained that his entry point gave a much better effect
and that he wouldn't play it as written.

The Music Director told him he either had to play the piece as written,
or he would be kicked off the band. The young man refused, and the
Music Director had no choice but to kick him off the band.

Late, the Music Director was asked by the Principal why he had kicked
the young musician off the band.

He replied, "It was a simple case of cymbal disobedience."

In a department store, a difficult customer and a
patient clerk were having a hard time getting
together. Nothing the clerk provided was suitable.

Finally, the finicky shopper said in annoyance, "Can't
you find a smarter clerk to serve me?"

"No," said the saleswoman. "The smarter clerk saw you
coming and disappeared."

Coffee?

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're in charge of the cooking around here and you
should do it, because that's your job. I can just wait for my coffee."

The wife replied, "No you should do it, and besides it's in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee."

The husband replied, " I can't believe that, show me."

So she grabbed her Bible, and opened to the New Testament and showed him
at the top of several pages, that it indeed said:

As the coals from our barbecue burned down, our hosts passed out
marshmallows and long roasting forks.

Just then, two fire trucks roared by, sirens blaring, lights flashing.
They stopped at a house right down the block.

All twelve of us raced out of the back yard, down the street, where we
found the owners of the blazing house standing by helplessly.

They glared at us with looks of disgust.

Suddenly, we realized why.........

we were all still holding our roasting forks with marshmellows on them!

My Kinda Marine...
As the crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace is shattered by
a five-year-old boy who picks that moment to throw a wild temper
tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try
to calm him down the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the
seats around him.

Suddenly, from the rear of the plane, a man in a U.S. Marine Corps
uniform is seen slowly walking forward up the aisle. Stopping the
flustered mother with an upraised hand, the courtly, soft-spoken Marine
leans down and, motioning toward his chest, whispers something into the
boy's ear.

Instantly, the boy calms down, gently takes his mother's hand, and
quietly fastens his seat belt. All the other passengers burst into
spontaneous applause. As the Marine slowly makes his way back to his
seat, one of the cabin attendants touches his sleeve.

"Excuse me, sir," she ask quietly, "but could I ask you what magic words
you used on that little boy?"

The Marine smiles serenely and gently confides, "I showed him my pilot's
wings, service stars, and battle ribbons, and explained that they
entitle me to throw one passenger out the plane door, on any flight I
choose, and that I was just about to make my selection for this flight..!

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know,

"that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,

"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."

Nirvana: On the way to my cabin, I have to take a dirt road. On that road is this sign..."Muddy if wet".

Bricklayers Letter



Dear Sir,

I am writing in response to your request for additional information.
In block number three of the accident reporting form, I put "poor planning"
as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I needed to
explain things better, I trust the following statement will suffice.

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the morning of June 10th, I was working
alone on the roof of a new six story building. When I completed my work, I
discovered that I had about 500 lbs. of bricks left over. Rather than carry
the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a
pulley which fortunately was attached to the side of the building at the
sixth floor.

Securing the rope at the ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the
barrel over, and loaded the 500 lbs. of bricks in it. Then I went back to
the ground, and untied the rope. I held it tightly to insure a slow descent
of all 500 lbs. You will note in block number eleven of the report form
that I weigh 135 lbs.

Due to the surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost
my presence of mind, and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I
proceeded up the side of the building at a rather rapid rate.

In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming down. This
explains the fractured skull and broken collarbone.

Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until
the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley.

Fortunately by this time, I had regained my presence of mind, and was
able to hold onto the rope, as not to fall despite the pain.

At approximately the same time, the barrel of bricks hit the ground,
and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Devoid of the bricks, the barrel now
weighed about 50 lbs.

I refer again to block eleven, my weight is 135 lbs. As you may
imagine I began a rapid descent down the side of the building.

In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This
accounts for the 3 fractured ankles, and the numerous lacerations on my
legs.

The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen the impact
onto the pile of bricks on the ground, and to my surprise, only 3 vertebrae
were cracked.

I am sorry to report, however that as I lay there on the bricks, unable
to move, and looking at the empty barrel six stories above me, I again lost
my presence of mind...

I let go of the rope.

Yours Truly,

Brick Layer

3.
Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole
he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it.
Beachgoers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or
protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach
chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed,
burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach,
on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying
to claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA,
but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using
heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about
200 people looked on. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

4.
In Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as
he fell face-first through the ceiling of a bicycle shop
he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight
he had placed in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into
the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

5.
According to police in Dahlonega, GA, ROTC cadet Nick Berrena,
20, was stabbed to death in January by fellow cadet Jeffrey Hoffman,

AUGUSTA, ME - Four people were injured in a string of bizarre
accidents. Sherry Moeller was admitted with a head wound caused
by flying masonry, Tim Vegas was diagnosed with a mild case
of whiplash and contusions on his chest, arms and face,
Bryan Corcoran suffered torn gum tissue, and Pamela Klesick's
first two fingers of her right hand had been bitten off.
Moeller had just dropped her husband off for his first
day of work and, in addition to a good-bye kiss, she flashed
her breasts at him. "I'm still not sure why I did it," she said
later. "I was really close to the car, so I didn't think anyone
would see. Besides, it couldn't have been for more than two
seconds." However, cab driver Vegas did see, and lost control
of his cab, running over the curb and into the corner of the
Johnson Medical Building. Inside, Klesick, a dental technician,
was cleaning Corcoran's teeth. The crash of the cab against
the building made her jump, tearing Corcoran's gums with
a cleaning pick. In shock, he bit down, severing two fingers
from Klesick's hand. Moeller's wound was caused by a falling
piece of the medical building.

10.
TAOS, NM - A woman went to a poison control center after
eating three birth-control vaginal inserts. Her English was so
bad she had to draw a picture describing how she believed she
had poisoned herself. A translator arrived shortly thereafter
and confirmed doctors' suspicions. Marie Valishnokov thought
the inserts were some kind of candy or gum, being unable to
read the foil wrappers. After the third one, she realized
something was wrong when her throat and mouth began to fill
with a sour-tasting foam. She ran for the Poison Control Center,
only a few blocks away where doctors were able to flush the foam
from her mouth, throat, and stomach with no ill effects.

11.
TACOMA, WA - Kerry Bingham, had been drinking with several
friends when one of them said they knew a person who had
bungee-jumped from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the middle
of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least
10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 a.m.
Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered
that no one had brought bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued
drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of cable had
been left near the railing. Bingham's leg and the other end was
tied to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable
tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously
survived his fall into the icy river water and was rescued by
two nearby fishermen. "All I can say," said Bingham, "is that
God was watching out for me on that night. There's just no other explanation for it."
Bingham's foot was never located.

12.
On February 3, 1990, a Renton, Washington man tried to commit
a robbery. This was probably his first attempt, as suggested
by the fact that he had no previous record of violent crime,
and by his terminally stupid choices as listed below:

1. The target was H&J Leather & Firearms, a gun shop;
2. The shop was full of customers, in a state where a
substantial portion of the adult population is licensed
to carry concealed handguns in public places;
3. To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked
Police patrol car parked at the front door;
4. An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter,
having coffee before reporting to duty. Upon seeing the
officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and
fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly
returned fire, removing him from the gene pool. Several
other customers also drew their guns, but didn't fire.
No one else was hurt.

13.
In France, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he
decided to commit suicide. He stood at the top a tall cliff and
tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the
rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to
his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment.
He jumped and fired the pistol. The bullet missed him completely
and cut through the rope above him. Free of the threat of
hanging, he plunged into the sea. The sudden dunking extinguished
the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out
of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to hospital, where
he died - of hypothermia.

Japan Times-April 16, 1997
"The government must crack down on this disgusting craze
of 'Pumping'", a spokesman for the Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital
told reporters. "If this perversion catches on, it will destroy
the cream of Thailand's manhood." He was speaking after the
remains of 13 year-old Charnchai Puanmuangpak had been rushed
into the hospital's emergency room. "Most 'Pumpers' use
a standard bicycle pump," he explained, "inserting the
nozzle far up their rectum, giving themselves rush of air,
creating a momentary high. This act is a sin against God."
Charnchai took it further still. He started using a two-cylinder
foot pump, but even that wasn't exciting enough for him,
and he boasted to friends that he was going to try the compressed
air hose at a nearby gasoline station. They dared him to do
it so, under cover of darkness, he snuck in. Not realizing how
powerful the machine was, he inserted the tube deep into his rectum,
and placed a coin in the slot. As a result, he died virtually instantly,
but passers-by are still in shock. One woman thought she was watching
a twilight fireworks display, and started clapping. "We still haven't
located all of him", say the police authorities. "When that
quantity of air interacted with the gas in his system, he nearly exploded.
It was like an atom bomb went off or something."
"Pumping is the devil's pastime, and we must all say no to Satan,"
Ratchasima concluded. "Inflate your tires by all means, but then
hide your bicycle pump where it cannot tempt you."

The Dam Letter--- A Michigan Farmer Pokes Fun At Bureacrats



This was an actual letter from and a reply to the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality, State of Michigan:

Mr. Ryan De Vries
2088 Dagget
Pierson, MI 49339

Dear Mr. DeVries:

SUBJECT: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023-1 T11N, R10W, Sec. 20, Montcalm County

It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that
there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above-referenced parcel
of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or
contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and
maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.
A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A
review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued.

Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation
of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and
Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being
sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated.

The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially
failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream
locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and
cannot be permitted.

The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all unauthorized
activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow
condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream
channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31,
1998.

Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a
follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply
with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may
result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action.

We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter.
Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

David L. Price
District Representative
Land and Water Management Division



RESPONSE

Dear Mr. Price:

Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N, R10W, Sec 20, Montcalm County

Your certified letter dated 12/17/97 has been handed to me to respond to.
You sent out a great deal of carbon copies to a lot of people, but you
neglected to include their addresses. You will, therefore, have to send
them a copy of my response.

First of all, Mr. Ryan De Vries is not the legal landowner and/or contractor
at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan - I am the legal owner and a couple of
beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and
maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the outlet stream of my Spring
Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervised their dam project,
I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of
natural building materials "debris." I would like to challenge your
department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place
you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever
match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity,
their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic.

As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they first
must fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity.

My first dam question to you is: (1) are you trying to discriminate against
my Spring Pond Beavers or (2) do you require all beavers throughout this
State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against
these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act I request
completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have
been issued. Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part
301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental
Protection Act, Act 451of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101
to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated.

I have several concerns. My first concern is - aren't the beavers entitled
to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute
and are unable to pay for said representation - so the State will have to
provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either
one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding
is proof that this is a natural occurrence which the department is required
to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone
rather than harassing them and calling their dam names.

If you want the stream "restored" to a dam free-flow condition - please
contact the beavers - but if you are going to arrest them (they obviously
did not pay any attention to your dam letter -- being unable to read
English) -- be sure they are read the Miranda rights first. As for me, I am
not going to cause more flooding or dam debris jams by interfering with
these dam builders. If you want to hurt these dam beavers -- be aware I am
sending a copy of your dam letter and this response to PETA. If your dam
Department seriously finds all dams of this nature inherently hazardous and
truly will not permit their existence in this State -- I seriously hope you
are not selectively enforcing this dam policy - or once again both I and the
Spring Pond Beavers will scream prejudice!

In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their
unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water
flows downstream. They have more dam right than I do to live and enjoy
Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Protection lives to its name, it should protect the natural resources
(Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams).

So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred
for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/98?
The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then and there will be no
way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them then.

In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention a real environmental
quality (health) problem in the area. It is the bears. Bears are actually
defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the
defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to
investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! (The bears are not careful
where they dump!)

Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact
you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam
office via another government organization - the dam USPS. Maybe, someday,
it will get there.

Sincerely,

Stephen L. Tvedten

I started to howl the moment I read they were at a psych. hospital...I knew what was comeing...I used to work for a private hospital in Phx. and we would get the same dubious response when we would order food to be delivered on the graveyard shift.

JUst to mess with the delivery people, we would sometimes have the biggest orderly put on a hospital gown..slippers and answer the door ( right off the 'Seclusion Room' ) laughing gleefuly....
After awhile, the dispatcher would try and get the newest driver to deliver...
Ahhhh....goodtimes...

FBI Ordering Pizzas Story



The following is a direct quote from the Center for Strategic and
International Studies report on Global Organized Crime; the author who
introduces the story swears it's true.

FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was
under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing
thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an
appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza
parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues.

The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI
because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.

Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of
soda.

Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?

Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.

Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.

Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?

Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.

Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front
doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the
back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.

Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?

Pizza Man: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?

Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.

Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?

9 Handy household tips for the modern woman !

1. DELIA'S WAY
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to
prevent ice cream drips.

THE REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for God's
sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating
it anyway.

2. DELIA'S WAY
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the
potatoes.

THE REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Buy Smash and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.

3. DELIA'S WAY
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit
of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on
the outside of the cake.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Tesco's sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.

4. DELIA'S WAY
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking,
drop in a potato slice.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
If you over salt a dish while your are cooking, thats tough.
Now, please recite with me the Real Woman's motto: "I made it, and
you will eat it, and I don't care how bad it tastes"

5. DELIA'S WAY
Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator
and it will keep for weeks.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Let it keep forever. Who eats it anyway?

6. DELIA'S WAY
Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to yield
beautiful glossy finish.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Sainsbury's frozen pie directions do not include brushing any egg
white over the crust - so we don't do that.

7. DELIA'S WAY
Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and rub in on
your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in 8
ounces of vodka. Drink the vodka. You might still have the
headache, but at least you will be happy!

8. DELIA'S WAY
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing
gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Forget the gloves, use that gadget you keep in front of the TV
... that's what he's there for isn't it?

And finally .
9. DELIA'S WAY
Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles
and sauces.

REAL WOMAN'S WAY
Leftover wine???? .... Hello!!!!!

A traveling salesman was lost out in the country. While driving down a dirt road he happened to notice there was a chicken running next to his car. He looked at the speedometer and saw he was doing 15 mph. As the chicken passed him he noticed it had three legs.
It was picking up speed and he tried to keep up. The chicken kept ahead of the car reaching speeds of over 50 mph. Then with a burst of speed it took off the road into the surrounding fields.
A few miles later the salesman spots a farm and decides to get directions there.
As he nears the house he sees many chickens in the yard and all of them have three legs.
So he says to the farmer, ?I see all your chickens have three legs, why is that?? The farmer answers, ?I breed them like that. Yup, I have a large family and we all love chicken. Especially the drumsticks. I breed them so there would be more to go around.?
?How do they taste,? asked the salesman. ?Don?t know,? replied the farmer, ?Ain?t never been able to catch one.?

Subject: Definition of a Bar-B-Que

It's the only type of cooking a real man will do. When a man
volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into
motion:
1) The woman goes to the shops.
2) The woman makes the salad, vegetables and dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man,
who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.
4) The man places the meat on the grill.
5) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.
6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He
thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer whilst he deals with
the situation.
7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.
8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
10) Everyone praises man and thanks him for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that There's Just No Pleasing

My Get-Up And Go Has Got-Up And Went!


How do I know that my youth is all spent?
My get-up and go has got-up and went
But in spite of it all I am able to grin
When I think of where my get-up has been!

Old age is golden, so I have heard said
Yet I sometimes wonder when I get out of bed
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
My eyes on the table, until I wake up.
As sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself
Is there anything else I should have laid on the shelf?

But I am happy to say as I close my door
My friends are the same, perhaps even more
When I was young my slippers were red
I would kick my heels, right over my head.

As I grew older my slippers were blue
Still I could dance the whole evening through.
Now I am older, my slippers are black,
I walk to the store, and puff my way back!

The reason I know my youth is all spent,
My get-up and go has got-up and went
But I really don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all the grand places my get-up has been.

Since I have retired from life's competition
I busy myself with life's repetition.
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
Pick up the paper and read the Obits
If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!

LOL..now that is one smart little old lady!

One Sunday a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.

A very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.

Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."

THERE'S A NEW SET OF RULES NOW!!

Now it's time for the man's rules. We always hear "the rules" for the feminine side. Ok - we are now going to hear the rules from the man's side. These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered "1" on purpose.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

1. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:

Subtle hints do not work

Strong hints do not work

Obvious hints do not work

Just say it!

1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Check your oil! Please.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. I'm in shape. -ROUND is a shape.

"egglige", I love it!!!!

Two eggs had just been married and were on their honeymoon. While they
were sitting on the bed making out, the female egg pushed the male egg
away and said, "I just have to go to the washroom. Be back in a minute."
Five minutes later the male egg saw his sexy wife walk out in a slinky
egglige, running her hands up and down her smooth, oval body.
Instantly, the male egg slapped his hands on the top of his head,
covering it completely. The female egg looked at him and asked what he
was doing.
He replied, "The last time I was this hard, someone cracked me on the
head with a spoon."

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and
feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited
a few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for
the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning and mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house...The maid quit... Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to
move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they
could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told
her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she
missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back...
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth But only if
she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home... ...including the curtain rods.

I just went to www.ap.org and did a search....nada. It is not conclusive. However, the story IS funny.

Yes, after like 15 or 20 mins in a hot car, the cans started popping. So it is possible, but it's never been said if the story is true or not.

...and...was it real?

I kinda like MythBusters.

nothing new about that one. The TV show mythbusters did a story about this on last year.

KILLER BISCUITS WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER
(actual AP headline)

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up, with her eyes closed, and with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brain in for over an hour. The man called the paramedics.

They broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread stuck to the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

And, yes, Linda is a blonde.

Two old ladies are walking through a museum and got separated. When they ran into each other later the first old lady said. "My! Did you see that statue of the naked man back there?"

The second old lady replied, "Yes! I was absolutely shocked! How can they display such a thing! My gosh the penis on it was so large!"

And the first old lady blurted out, "And cold, too!"
