NEW SUPERMARKET

The new supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister
to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of
distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness
the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and
the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don't buy toilet paper there any more ....

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old
university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests tea, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot
of tea and an assortment of cups -- porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain
looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the tea.

When all the students had a cup of tea in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all
the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of
your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the tea.

In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was tea, not the cup, but you consciously went for the
best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the tea; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not
define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on
the cup, we fail to enjoy the tea. What we seek is in the tea, not the cups..........

Enjoy your tea!"

The happiest people don't have the best of everything.
They just make the best of everything.

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time,
and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental
asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which
defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub,
then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup & a bucket to the patient
and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a bed near the window?"

Hot dog, it's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar with these
awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself
and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee
that she spilled in her lap.

That's right, these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts that
happened in the U.S. during 2006. You know, the kinds of cases that make you
scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy. Here are the "Stellas" for the
past year: To kick things off the right way, there was a three-way tie for 5th place.

Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas , was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after
breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store.
The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running
toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.

Also in 5th place is Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California - you knew California had
to be in the list somewhere, right? - who won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his
neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there
was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.

The last of the 5th Place winners was Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania, who
was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for
Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the
garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door
connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut.

Forced to subsist for eight -------- count 'em, 8! - days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag
of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental
anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000
for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching.

There are more...............

Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the "Stellas" when he was
awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door
neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in it's owner's fenced yard.
Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might
have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the
fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Grrrrr scratch, scratch.

Third Place went to Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania , because a jury ordered
a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on soft drink and broke
her tailbone (coccyx). The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown
it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to
people being responsible for their own actions? Scratch, scratch, scratch.

Hang in there, there are only two more Stellas to go...............

Second Place : Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware, sued the owner of a night club in a
nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her
two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room
window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay
her $12,000 ... oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.

Finally, (may I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please)

this year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was

Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot
Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home - from an OU football game, no less -
having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left
the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich.

Don't look so incredulous. Remember, we're talking about Oklahoma here.

Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned.

Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's
manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control
was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her - you are sitting down, right? - $1,750,000
PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of
this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might buy a motor home.

================================================

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls,
career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across
the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy
life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to
spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing
could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The
funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old
newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

"Jack, did you hear me?"

"Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of
him I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.

"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were
doing He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the
fence' as he put it," Mom told him.

"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.

"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make
sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said.

"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this
business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me
things he thought were important . . . Mom, I'll be there for the
funeral," Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his
hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no
children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to
see the old house next door one more time.

Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing
over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house
was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture,
every piece of furniture . Jack stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked. "The box is gone," he said. "What
box?" Mom asked.

"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I
must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell
me was 'the thing I value most,'" Jack said.

It was gone.. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack
rememberedit, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser
family had taken it.

"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said.. "I better
get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from
work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required
on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within
the next three days," the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and
looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was
difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr.
Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open
the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands
shook as he read the note inside.

"Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack
Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped
to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack
carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold
pocket watch.

Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched
the cover. Inside he found these words engraved:

"Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser."

"The thing he valued most was . . . my time"

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and
cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his
assistant asked.

"I need some time to spend with my son," he said. "Oh, by the way,
Janet, thanks for your time!"

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the
moments that take our breath away,"

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for
you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way..

3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you.

4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

5. You mean the world to someone.

6. If not for you, someone may not be living.

7. You are special and unique.

8. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come
from it.

9. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you
most likely turned your back on the world.

10. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude
remarks.

12. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much
better when they know and you'll both be happy.

13. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they
are great.

MAN OF THE HOUSE

The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled "You Can
Be the Man of Your House."

He stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife.
Pointing a finger in her face, he said sternly,

"From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and
my word is law!

You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished
eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert.

After dinner you are going to go upstairs with me, and we will have
the kind of sex that I want.

After that, you are going to draw me my bath so I can relax.

You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe.
Then you will Massage my feet and hands.

Then after that's done, guess who's going to dress me and comb my
hair?"

.
.

His wife replied, "The fuckin' funeral director would be my guess."

=====================================================

A guy is browsing in a pet shop and sees a
parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn't
have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud,
" Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this
parrot?"

The parrot says, "I was born this way.
I'm a defective parrot."

"Holy crap," the guy replies. "You actually
understood and answered me!"

"I got every word," says the parrot.
"I happen to be a highly intelligent
thoroughly educated bird."

"Oh yeah?" the guy asks, "Then answer this --
how do you hang onto your perch
without any feet?"

"Well," the parrot says, "this is very
embarrassing but since you asked,
I wrap my weenie around this wooden
bar like a little hook. You can't see it
because of my feathers."

"Wow, " ;says the guy. "You really can
understand and speak English can't you?"

"Actually, I speak both Spanish and
English, and I can converse with
reasonable competence on almost any
topic: politics, religion, sports, physics,
philosophy. I'm especially good at
ornithology. You really ought to buy me.
I'd be a great companion."

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag.
"Sorry, but I just can't afford that.."

"Pssssssst," says the parrot, "I'm defective,
so the truth is, nobody wants me cause
I don't have any feet. You can probably
get me for $20; just make the guy an offer!"

The guy offers $20 and walks
out with the parrot.

Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational.
He has a great sense of humor, he's
interesting, he's a great pal, he
understands everything, he sympathizes,
and he's insightful. The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work
and t he parrot goes, "Psssssssssssst,"
and motions him over with one wing.
"I don't know if I should tell you this or not,
but it's about your wife and the postman."

"What are you talking about?" asks the guy.

"When the postman delivered the mail
today, your wife greeted him at the
door in a sheer black nightie."

"WHAT???" the guy asks incredulously.
"THEN what happened?"

"Well, then the postman came into the house
and lifted up her nightie and began
petting her all over," reported the parrot.

"NO!" he exclaims. "And she let him?"

"Yes. Then he continued taking off the
nightie, got down on his knees and began
to kiss her all over...."

Then the frantic guy demands,
"THEN WHAT HAPPENED?"

"Damned if I know.
I got a hard-on and fell off my perch!"

A man walks into his bedroom and sees his wife packing

She answers, "I'm moving to New York. I heard prostitutes
there get paid $400 a night for doing what I do for

A little later, on her way out, the wife walks past the
bedroom and sees her husband packing his suitcase.

When she asks him where he is going, he replies,

LOVE DRESS

A woman stopped by unannounced at her son's house.

She knocked on the door then immediately walked in.
She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on
the couch, totally naked.

Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume
filled the room.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for Justin to come home from work."
The daughter-in-law answered.

"But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed.

"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.

"Love dress? But you're naked!"
"Justin loves me to wear this dress," she explained.
"Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly
becomes romantic and ravages me for hours.

The mother-in-law left. When she got home she
undressed, showered, put on her best perfume,
dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD, and
lay on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive.

Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and
saw her lying t here so provocatively.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"This is my love dress," she whispered, sensually.

"Needs ironing," he said, "What's for dinner."

----- FINALLY, A BLONDE JOKE TO END 'EM ALL ...
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in
her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police
officer who was also a blonde. The policewoman asked to see the
blonde's driver's license.

She dug through her purse and got
progressively more agitated.

"What does it look like?" she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, "It's square and it
has your picture on it."

The driver finally found a square mirror in
her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman.

"Here it is," she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror,
then handed it back saying,

"Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled
it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking
advantage of the continuous flow of free
and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of
the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table...everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean:

They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the
feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day
and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.
I took down the bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had
built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to
be...quite,serene and no one demanding
their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see...our government gives out free food, subsidized
housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone
born here to be a automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our
taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are
housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an
emergency room doctor: you child's 2nd grade class is behind
other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak English:

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one"
to hear
my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other
than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets,
demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.

while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. "Take it easy, Doc.
You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."

Ohio justice

This is a good one you'll get a kick out of it!!!

Two men were driving on I-75 in Ohio when they got pulled over by a State Trooper.
The trooper walked up and tapped on the window with his nightstick. The driver rolled
down the window and WHACK,"
the trooper smacked him in the head with his nightstick.

"What the hell was that for?" the driver asked.

"You're in Ohio, son," the trooper answered.

"When we pull you over in Ohio, you better have your license
ready by the time we get to your car."

"I'm sorry, officer, " the driver said, "I'm from New York and
didn't know your laws here." The trooper runs a check on the guy's license--
e's clean and gives the guy his license back.

The trooper then walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window.
The passenger rolls down the window and "WHACK,"
the trooper smacks him on the head with the nightstick.

"What the hell did you do that for?" the passenger demands.

"Just making your wish come true," replied the trooper.

"Making WHAT wish come true?" the passenger asked.

"Because I know you New Yorkers," the trooper says,
"two miles down the road, you're gonna turn to your buddy and say.....
" I wish that asshole would've tried that shit with me!"

"Very good," said her mother.

"Is it because I'm blonde?" the girl asked.

"Yes, it's because you're blonde."

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy,"
she yelled, "We were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids said
up to D, but I said it up to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!"

"Very good," said her mother.

"Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?"

"Yes, It's because you're blonde."

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy!"
she yelled, "We were in gym class today, and when we were showering,
all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!"
She lifted up her tank top to reveal a pair of 36 C's.

"Very good," said her embarrassed mother.

"Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?"

No, Honey, It's because you're 24."

An Italian walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to Italy on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells
him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan,
so the Italian hands over the keys to a new Ferrari.

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank.
The Italian produces the title and everything checks out.   The loan
officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The
bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Italian
for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Italian returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says,
"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this
transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little
puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out
and found that you are a multi~millionaire.

What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Italian replies:
           "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks
            for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

"It's not safe," the doctor replied.

"But I need it really bad," the man explained.
"My girlfriend is coming into town on Friday, one of my exes will
be here on Saturday, and my wife is coming home on Sunday."

"Okay, I'll give it to you," the doctor relented.
"But you have to come in on Monday morning so that I can check
to see if there are any side effects."

On Monday the man dragged himself into the doctor's office with
his right arm in a sling. The doctor asked,

"What happened to you?"

The man said, "None of the three showed up!"

Three third graders from West Virginia (an Irish kid,
an Italian kid and a Redneck kid) are on the play ground at recess.

The Irish kid suggests that they play a new game.
"Let's see who has the largest weenie,"   he says.

"Okay." They all agree.

The Italian kid pulls down his zipper and whips it out.

"That's nothing," says the Irish kid. He whips his out
and proudly shows that his is at least an inch longer

Not to be outdone, the Redneck kid whips his out. It is
by far not only the biggest, but the fattest.

That night, eating dinner at home, the Redneck kid's
mother asks him what he did at school today.

"Oh, we worked on a science project, had a math test and
read out loud from a new book and then during recess, my friends
and I played a new game called... "Let's see who has the
largest weenie."

"What kind of game is that, honey?" asks the mother.

"Well, me, Anthony and Patrick each pulled out our
weenies and I had the biggest! The other kids say it's
because I'm a Redneck.   Is that true, Mom?"

Mom replies, "No, Honey". It's because you're twenty-one.

One day, while walking to the store, I passed by a nursing home.
On the front lawn were 6 old ladies laying naked on the grass.
I thought this was a bit unusual,but continued on to the store.
Returning, I witnessed the same sight with the same 6 old ladies
lying naked on the lawn.

This time my curiosity got the best of me.

I went inside to talk to the manager.
"Do you know there are 6 ladies
lying naked on your front lawn?"

"Yes," he said.
"They are retired prostitutes

A timeless lesson on how consultants can
make a difference for an organization.

Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant,
and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon
in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange.

When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed
he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around
saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets.

When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked,
"Why the spoon?"

"Well, "he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired
Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several
months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most
frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of
approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are
better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the
kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he
was able to replace it with his spare. "I'll get another spoon
next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip
to get it right now."

I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string
hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed
that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their fly.
So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but
can you tell me why you have that string right there?"

"Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is
so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out
that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to
the tip of you know what, we can pull it out without touching
it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the
time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent.

I asked "After you get it out, how do you put it back?"

"Well," he whispered, "I don't know about the others,
                                                  but I use the spoon."

Doctor's Office.........

This is so true! They always ask at the doctor's office
why you are there, and you have to answer in front of
others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing.
There's nothing worse than a Doctor'sReceptionist
who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a
room full of other patients. I know most of us have
experienced this, and I love the way this old guy
handled it.  An 86 year old man walked into a
crowded waiting room and approached the desk....

The Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing
the Doctor for today?" "There's something wrong
with my dick", he replied. The receptionist became
irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a
crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I
told you," he said.The Receptionist replied; "Now
you've caused some embarrassment in this room
full of people. You should have said there is something
wrong with your ear and discussed the problem further
with the Doctor in private."

The man replied,"You shouldn't ask people questions
in a room full of strangers, if the answer could
embarrass anyone. The man walked out, waited
several minutes and then re-entered.

Te receptionist smiled smugly an asked, "Yes ??"

"There's something wrong with my ear", he stated.
The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled,
knowing he had taken her advice.

"And what is wrong with your ear, Sir??"

"I can't piss out of it," he replied.

The waiting room erupted in laughter.

Mess with seniors and you're gonna lose!

................... 2005 Darwin  Awards.......................

The awards for these feats of amazement are mostly
posthumously  give to these recipients for helping to clean
up the Gene Pool of humanity.

#12 According to police in Windsor, Ontario, Daniel Kolta,
27, and Randy Taylor, 33, died in a head-on collision,
thus earning a tie in the game of chicken they were
playing with their Snowmobiles.

#11 In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned
in two feet of water after squeezing head first through
an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

#10 A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker,
who "totally zoned" when he ran, accidentally jogged
off a 100-foot-high cliff on his daily run.

#9 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. Beach-goers 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.

#8   Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA,
as he fell face-first through the ceiling of 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.

#7 According to police in Dahlonega, GA, ROTC cadet Nick
Berrena, 20, was stabbed to death in January by fellow
cadet Jeffrey Hoffman, 23, who was trying  to prove that a
knife could not penetrate the flak vest Berrena was wearing.

#6   Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in Selbyville, Del,
as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a
revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth
and pull the trigger.

#5 Honorable Mention: In Guthrie, Okla, in October,
Jason Heck tried to kill a millipede with a shot from his
22 caliber rifle, but the bullet ricocheted off a rock near
the hole and hit his pal Antonio Martinez in the head,
fracturing his skull.

#4 In Elyria, Ohio, in October, Martyn Eskins,
attempting to clean out cobwebs in his basement,
declined to use a broom in favor of a propane torch
and caused a fire that burned the first and
second floors of his house.

#3 Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover
Township, NJ, and his wife Bonnie was also injured,
when a quarter-stick of dynamite blew up in their car.

While driving around at 2 AM, the bored couple lit the
dynamite and tried to toss it out the window to see
what would happen, but apparently failed to notice
the window was closed.

                  Runner Up:
#2  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 am. Upon arrival at the
midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had
brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued
drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's
cable lay nearby. One end of the cable was secured around
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.

        And The Winner:
#1 Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany)
fed a constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more
than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up
pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200
pounds of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was
attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the
relieved beast unloaded on him.  The sheer force of the elephant's
unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where
he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant
continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said Paderborn
police detective Erik Dern. With no one there to help him, he lay
under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came
along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one
of those freak accidents that proves that "Shit Happens."

Test for Dementia

Below are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question.
You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time,
answer all of them immediately . OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are....

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person.
What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
absolutely  wrong! If you overtake the second person and
you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up next time.

Now answer the second question,

but don't take as much time as you took for the
          first question, OK ?

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are
wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question:

Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .

Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30.

Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000
Now add 10 .

What is the total?

Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!

Today is definitely not your day, is it?

Maybe you'll get the last question right....

Maybe.

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.

What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Did you Answer Nunu?

NO! Of course it isn't.

Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of

sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He just has to open his mouth and ask...

It's really very simple..

Hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody came
up with this.

Women's Friends:

A woman didn't come home one night. The next day
she told her husband that she had slept over at a
friend's house.

None of them knew what he was talking about.

Men's Friends:

A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told
his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house.

The wife called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of
them confirmed that he had slept over, and two
claimed he was still there.

=============================================

Just in case you ever get these two environments
mixed up, this should make things a little bit clearer.

@ PRISON @ WORK

you spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell you spend the majority
of your time in an 8X8
cubicle

you get three meals a day fully paid for you get a break for one
meal and you have to
pay for it

you get time off for good behavior you get more work for
good behavior

the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you you must often carry a
security card and open
all the doors for yourself

you can watch TV and play games you could get fired for
watching TV and
playing games

you get your own toilet you have to share the
toilet with some people
who pee on the seat

they allow your family and friends to visit you aren't even
supposed to speak to
your family

all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required you get to pay all your
expenses to go to work,
and they deduct taxes
from your salary to pay
for prisoners

you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out you spend most of
your time wanting
to get out and go
inside bars

you must deal with sadistic wardens they are called
managers

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY
WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!!

Now get back to work.

=======================================

To take this "test" slowly scroll down to each
of the four questions being careful each time
not to show the answer that follows the question
until after you have given your answer.

There are 4 questions. Don't rush --- take your
time and think through your answer as you
would on any important decision.

This is for only my very brightest friends
and/or relatives.



You'll enjoy this... Test

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator,
put in the giraffe, and close the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do
simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, open the refrigerator,
put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?
Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out
the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.
This tests your ability to think through the
repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.
All the animals Attend... except one, which
animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is
in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.
This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did
not answer the first three questions correctly,
you still have one more chance to
show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is
used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat.
How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and
swim across. Have you not been listening?
All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.
This tests whether you learn quickly
from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide,
around 90% of the professionals they tested
got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers
got several correct answers. Anderson
Consulting says this conclusively disproves
the theory that most professionals have the
brains of a four-year-old.

==========================

A Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote
mountainous pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW                      advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.The driver,                      a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes,Ray Ban                           sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks                      the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and                      calves you have in your herd, will yo give me a calf ??


The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie,                           then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly                        answers, "Sure, Why not?"

>

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook                      computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone,                 and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he                      calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location                  which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans                 the area in an ultra-high resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe                       Photoshop and exports it to an image processing                            facility in Hamburg, Germany

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot                      that the image has been processed and the data stored.                   He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC                   connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry                  and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his                  hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally                       turns to the cowboy and says,
"You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my                       calves, " says the cowboy.

He watches the young man select one of the animals                        and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into                        the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man,                                     "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is,                           will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and                            then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a Democratic Congressman for the                                  U.S. Government", says the cowboy.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie,                                    "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy.
"You showed up here even though nobody called you;                       you want to get paid for an answer I already knew,                          to a question I never asked.                                              You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are;                and you don't know a thing about cows...                              this is a herd of sheep. . .

Now give me back my dog.............

June 27, 2007

I am only sending this to my smart friends.
I could not figure it out and had to look at the answer.

If you can figure out what these words have in common,
you are a lot smarter than I am.

Banana
Dresser
Grammar
Potato
Revive
Uneven
Assess

Are you peeking or have you already given up?

Give it another try . . .

You will kick yourself when you discover the answer.
Go back and look at them again; think hard.
OK . . . Here You Go . . . Hope You Didn't Cheat.
This Is Cool.

Answer: Below

In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter,
place it at the end of the word, and then spell the
word backwards, it will be the same word.

Did you figure it out? Even if you did'nt don't worry
Just send it to more people and stump them then
you'll feel better too.

Telephone Call (((RING)))) **Pick Up** "Hello?" "Hi honey, this is Daddy, Is Mommy near the phone?" "No Daddy, She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul " After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul." "Oh yes I do. He's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now." Brief Pause "Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door, and shout to Mommy that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway." "Okay Daddy, just a minute." A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone. "I did it Daddy." "And what happened honey?" he asked. "Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn't moving at all!" "Oh my God!!! What about Uncle Paul?" "He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't now that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead." ***Long Pause*** ***Longer Pause** Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool??"... Is this 486-5731??

Two men, Harry and Larry were hiking with a third man, Wally, through a forest outside the psychiatric hospital. Wally was a long time patient because his intelligence IQ was tested to be below 20. Harry and Larry were graduate scholar mental hygiene therapists who enjoy taking Wally and other patients through the trails as part of their therapy and enjoyment. One day, they detoured by error and they came upon a large raging, violent river. Across the river, they saw where they were supposed to be and needed to get to that side. Needing to get to the other side, Harry prayed: "God, please give me the strength to cross the river" Poof!.....God gave Harry big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. After witnessing that, Larry prayed: "God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river" Poof!......God gave Larry a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. As Larry rowed off into the river, Wally realized that he was left all alone with nothing to do. He did not know how to swim but he smelled the aroma from food on the other side of the river from the cafeteria. He looked around and saw that the river got narrow further up the river, he walked up the river where it narrowed, he saw a bridge and crossed the river. Now on the other side, Wally decided to get a bite to eat, grabbed a lot of paper towels and found some rope. As he walked back, he waited for Larry to show up in the boat and helped tie him up with the rope he found. When Harry finally swam into shore, Wally was there to give Harry the paper towels to help dry him off. He told Harry that he remembered the aides used towels to dry him off but he could not find any. While Harry was drying himself off, Larry walked over to greet Harry�s arrival, and added, �glad to see you made it, I passed you about halfway across.� Wally asked Larry, �Why didn�t you pick him up??� There are too many people who are highly educated with no common sense, and those who supposedly are not smart and have the best common sense. Most times, they are not really dumb, they just see things differently.

Father O;Malley was an elderly priest, and he was speaking to Father Barnes, the younger priest who was assigned to his parish last year.. "That was a good idea of yours, to replace the first four pews with leather bucket theater seats, didn't it worked like a charm. Now the front of the church fills up first

The young priest smiled and nodded, and the old priest continued, "And when you suggested, we add a little more beat to the music, that it would bring the younger people back to church. it certainly did, and I supported you when you wanted to brought in that rock'n'roll gospel choir. Our services are packed to the balcony every Sunday."

"Thank you, Father, thank you. " answered the young priest. "I am pleased you are so

open to new ideas, it has helped bringing back a lot of people, hasn't it?"."

The elderly priest nodded, "It has, there is no doubt about that. But I'm afraid you've gone too far with this drive-thru confessional."

"Father," protested the young priest, "You said yourself, you had never seen so many people going to confession before, and the donations have doubled since I began here!"

"Oh! They have...yes," replied the elderly priest, "And I appreciate all that you've done, . but,. I don't like that flashing neon sign you put up on the roof of the church, saying

'TOOT 'N TELL OR GO TO HELL."

Now give me back my dog.

Getting it right .....Priceless

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party.

Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all.

He didn't even remember how he got home from the party.

As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees
is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.
And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his
clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around
the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean.

So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye
staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note
hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it
and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: "Honey, breakfast is on the
stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner
tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot
breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.

His son is also at the table, eating.

Jack asks, "Son...what happened last night?"
"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind.
You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the
hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.

Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so
clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"
His son replies, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and
when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone,
I'm married!!"

Broken Coffee Table $239.99
Hot Breakfast $4.20
Two Aspirins $.38
Saying the right thing, at the right time . . PRICELESS!!!

Not that I endorse any type of violence....

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on US 95 south,
just outside Washington DC . Nothing is moving
north or south.

Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver
rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?
What's the holdup?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped Hillary Clinton, Ted
Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and John Kerry.
They are asking for a $100 million ransom.

Otherwise, they are going to douse them with
gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from
car to car, taking up a collection."

The driver asks, "On average, how much is everyone
giving?"

"About a gallon."

DEAR DIARY. DAY ONE

I am all packed and ready to get on the cruise ship. I've packed all my pretty dresses and makeup. I'm really excited.
_______________________________________________

DEAR DIARY. DAY TWO

We spent the entire day at sea. It was beautiful and we saw some whales and dolphins. What a wonderful vacation this has started to be. I met the Captain today and he seems like a very nice man.
_______________________________________________

DEAR DIARY. DAY THREE

I spent some time in the pool today. I also did some shuffle boarding and hit some golf balls off the deck. The Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. I felt honored and we had a wonderful time. He is a very attractive and attentive gentleman.
_______________________________________________

DEAR DIARY. DAY FOUR

Went to the ship's casino ... did OK ... won about $80. The Captain invited me to have dinner with him in his state room. We had a luxurious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night but I declined. I told him there was no way I could be unfaithful to my husband.
_______________________________________________

DEAR DIARY. DAY FIVE

Went back to the pool today and got a little sunburned. I decided to go to the piano bar and spend the rest of the day inside . The Captain saw me and bought me a couple of drinks. He really is a charming gentleman. He again asked me to visit him for the night and again I declined. He told me that if I didn't come to his cabin for the night, he would sink the ship. I was appalled.

_______________________________________________

DEAR DIARY. DAY SIX

I saved 1600 lives today... Twice

-----------------------

Two Mexicans are riding along Pacific Coast Highway on a motorbike. They break down and start hitching a lift. A friendly trucker stops to see if he can help and the Mexicans ask him for a lift. He tells them he has no room in the wagon as he is carrying 20,000 bowling balls.

The Mexican put it to the driver that if they can manage to fit in the back with their bike will he take them and he agrees.
They manage to squeeze themselves and their motorbike into the back of the wagon so the driver shuts the doors and gets off on his way. By this time he is really late and so puts his foot down.
Sure enough the Highway Patrol pull him up for speeding. The good officer asks the driver what he is carrying to which he replies Mexican eggs.
The policeman obviously doesn't believe this so wants to take a look. He opens the back door and quickly shuts it and locks it. He gets onto his radio and calls for immediate backup from as many officers as possible.
The dispatcher asks what emergency he has that requires so many officers.
"I've got a wagon with 20,000 Mexican eggs in it - 2 have hatched and they have managed to steal a motorbike already."

the saddle horn...

A woman from New York was driving through a
remote part of Arizona when her car broke down.
An American Indian on horseback came along and
offered her a ride to a nearby town. She climbed
up behind him on the horse and then rode off.

The ride was uneventful, except that every few
minutes the Indian would let out a "Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a"
so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills.

When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local
service station, yelled one final "Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!"
and rode off.

"What did you do to get that Indian so excited?"
asked the service-station attendant.

"Nothing," the woman answered. "I merely sat behind
him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and
held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off."

"Lady," the attendant said, "Indians don't use saddles!

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids; yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The Wal-Mart Greeter says "Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind or just plain stupid?"

"I'm neither blind nor stupid" replied the greeter, "I just couldn't believe you got laid twice."

" Have a good day. "

Harley Man

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take..! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind."

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand our wives..; I want to know how she feels inside.., what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment.., why she cries.., what she means when she says: "Nothing's wrong".., and how I can make a woman truly happy..!"

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?

A Riddle:

On his trip to Great Britain, George Bush had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth. He asked her, "How does one manage to run a country so smoothly?"

"That's easy," she replied, "You surround yourself with intelligent ministers and advisors."

"But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?"

You ask them a riddle," she replied, and with that she pressed a button and said, "Would you please send Tony Blair in." When Blair arrived, the Queen said, "I have a riddle for you to answer for me. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?"

Blair replied, "That's easy. The child was me."

"Very good," said the Queen. "You may go now."

President Bush went back to Washington and called in his chief of staff, Karl Rove. He said to him, "I have a riddle for you, and the answer is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child ?"

Rove replied, "Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine the answer, as no child must be left behind. Can I deliberate on this for awhile?"

"Yes," said Bush, "I'll give you four hours to come up with the answer."

So Rove went and called a meeting of the White House staff, and asked them the riddle. But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them had a satisfactory answer. So he was quite upset, not knowing what he would tell the President. As Rove was walking back to the Oval Office, he saw former Secretary of State Colin Powell approaching him. So he said, "Mr. Secretary, can you answer this riddle for me? Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?"

"That's easy," said Powell, "The child was me."

"Oh thank you," said Rove. "You may just have saved me my job!" So Rove went into the Oval Office and said to President Bush, "I think I know the answer to your riddle. The child was Colin Powell!"

"No, you Dumb Shit !" shouted Bush. "The child was Tony Blair"

Read slowly and carefully...

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pas on to oza pepl.

A woman pregnant with triplets was walking down the street when a masked robber ran out of a bank and shot her three times in the stomach. Luckily the babies were OK. The surgeon decided to leave the bullets in because it was too risky to operate. She gave birth to two healthy daughters and a healthy son.

All was fine for 16 years, and then one daughter walked into the room in
tears. "What's wrong?" asked the mother. "I was taking a tinkle and this bullet came out," replied the daughter.

The mother told her it was okay and explained what happened 16 years ago.

About a week later the second daughter walked into the room in tears. "Mom, I was taking a tinkle and this bullet ! came out."

Again the mother told her not to worry and explained what happened 16 years ago.

A week later her son walked into the room in tears. "It's okay" said the
Mom, "I know what happened You were taking a tinkle and a bullet came out."

"No," said the boy, "I was playing with myself and I shot the dog."

Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Do you ever wonder why you gave me your email address?
