Proverbs Chapter 17, Verse 22 Say's "A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like A Medicine: But A Broken Spirit Drieth The Bones"


Can't Get Out

An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.

The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"

The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"



Ugly Baby


A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: Lady, that is the ugliest baby that I've ever seen." Shocked by his statement the woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down. The man in the seat next to her sees that she is fuming mad and ask her what is wrong. She tells him , "That driver just insulted me!" The man says, "You don't have to take that,
"You go right up there and tell him off ! "
Go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."



The Babtism
Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get anyone to play with them
They decided it was because they had not been baptized and didn't go to Sunday school
So they went to the nearest church. But, only the janitor was there.
One little boy said, "We need to be baptized because no one will come out and play with us. Will you baptize us?"
Sure," said the janitor. He took them into the bathroom and dunked their little heads in the toilet bowl, one at a time.
Then he said, "You are now baptized!" When they got outside, one of them asked, "'What religion do you think we are?"
The oldest one said, "We're not Kathlick, because they pour the water on you."
"We're not Babtis, because they dunk all of you in the water."
"We're not Methdiss, because they just sprinkle water on you."
The littlest one said, "Didn't you smell that water?" They all joined in asking,
'Yeah! What do you think that means?'
The little one says, "I think it means we're Pisskopailians!"



HILLBILLY PARAMEDIC

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.

After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, Kin ya swallar?'

The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'

The woman begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.


The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.


As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.

His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

 

A BLOND VISITS THE FARM
A young blond lady from the city was driving her convertible through the country and passed a local farm. Seeing the farmer out feeding the animals she decided to stop and ask about them. "Mister, why doesn't this cow have any horns?" asked the young lady? The farmer cocked his head for a moment, then began in a patient tone, "Well, ma'am, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns. Sometimes we keep'em trimmed down with a hacksaw. Other times we can fix up the young 'uns by puttin' a couple drops of acid where their horns would grow in, and that stops 'em cold. Still, there are some breeds of cattle that never grow horns. But the reason this cow don't have no horns, ma'am, is 'because it's a horse."



An Old Man's Dying Request

An elderly man, 82, just returned from the doctors only to find he didn't have long to live. So he summoned the three most important people in his life to tell them of his fate.

His Doctor, His Priest and His Lawyer

Well, today I found out I don't have long to live. So I have summoned you three here, because you are the most important people in my life, and I need to ask a favor. Today, I am going to give each of you and envelope with $50,000 dollars inside.

When I die, I would ask that all three of you throw the money into my grave.

After the man passed on, the 3 people happened to run into each other. The doctor said, "I have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars of his money, he owed me on lots of medical bills. But, I threw the other $40,000 in like he requested."

The Priest said, "I have to admit also, I kept $25,000 dollars for the church. Its all going to a good cause. I did, however, throw the other $25,000 in the grave."

Well the Lawyer just couldn't believe what he was hearing!
"I am surprised at you two taking advantage of him like that."
" I did the right thing ! "
"I wrote a check for the full amount and threw it all in ! ! !"



Best Dog Story

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale ' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.
'You talk?' he asks.
'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'

'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired
me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.' 'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's an unrepentant liar. He never did any of that Stuff.

Grandma's boyfriend

A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. Playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, 'Grandma, how come you don't have a boyfriend now that Grandpa went to heaven?'

Grandma replied, 'Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I'm happy with my TV as my boyfriend.'

Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.

The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door and there stood Grandma's minister. The minister said, 'Hello son, is your Grandma home?'

The little boy replied, 'Yeah, she's in the bedroom bangin' her boyfriend.'

The minister fainted.

FAMOUS PEOPLES ANSWERS TO ONE OF LIFES MOST PUZZLING QUESTIONS.
Why did the chicken cross the road?


BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

JOHN McCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.


HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.


DICK CHENEY: Where's my shotgun?

COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.


BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken?


AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.


DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.


OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.


ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS: What?, Did I miss one?

 

THE PREACHER

An Alabama preacher said to his congregation, 'Someone in this congregation
has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan.

This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate.
I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who
did this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian Family.'
No one moved. The preacher continued, 'Do you have the nerve to face me and
admit this is a falsehood?

Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now
stand and confess your transgression.' Again all was quiet.

Then slowly, a drop dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop traffic
rose from the third pew.
Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, 'Reverend there has
been a terrible misunderstanding.. I never said you were a member of the Ku
Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends that you were a wizard under
the sheets.'

The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the congregation roared.

 

An elderly man on a Mo-ped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up
next to a doctor at a street light.
The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of
car ya got there, sonny ?"

The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly.
The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"

"No problem," replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around.Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty
nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds
the speedometer reads 160 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer !

He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly,,,, WHOOOOSSSHHH !

Something whips by him going much faster !

"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari ?" the doctor asks himself.

He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.

Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped!

Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, He gives it more gas and passes the Moped at 275 mph. He was feeling pretty good until he
looked in his mirror and saw the old man gaining on him AGAIN !

Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.

Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again!

The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do!

Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end.

The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably The old man is still alive.

He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says: "I'm a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you ?"

The old man whispers,

"YEAH, How bout Unhooking my suspender from your side view mirror."

Just A Thought, The Real Joke Would Probably Be Watching Me One Finger Type All Of This Stuff Onto The Website.

SAM AND IZZY

Two 90-year old Jewish men, Sam and Izzy, have been friends all of their
lives. When it's clear that Sam is dying, Izzy visits him every day.

One day Izzy says, 'Sam, we both loved baseball all our lives, and we
played minor league ball together for so many years. Please do me one
favor, when you get to Heaven, please, you'll let me know if there's
baseball there.'

Sam looks up at Izzy from his death bed and lovingly says,' Izzy, you've
been my best friend for many years. If it's possible, for you I'll do this
favor.'

Shortly after, Sam passes on. At midnight a few nights later, Izzy is
awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice
calling out to him, 'Izzy--Izzy.'

'Who is it?, asks Izzy sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?'

The voice responds, 'Izzy -- it's me, Sam.'

'You're not Sam.
Sam just died.'

'Izzy, I'm telling you it's me, Sam,' insists the voice.

'So, Sam! Where are you?' asks Izzy.

'In heaven,' replies Sam. 'I have some good news and a little bad news.'

'Tell me the good news first,' says Izzy.

'The good news is that there's baseball in heaven. Better yet, all our
friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young
again. Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows.
And listen, best of all, we can play baseball all we want, and we never get
tired.'
That's fantastic,' says Izzy. 'It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the
bad news?'

'You're pitching
Tuesday!'


A High Tech Bar...

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, "Sir, what will you have?"

The man thought a moment then replied? "A martini please."

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had. The robot then asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?"

The man answered "Oh, about 164."

The robot then proceeded to discuss the 'theory of relativity', 'inter stellar space travel', 'the latest medical breakthroughs', etc.......

The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? "A Martini please."

Again it was superb. The robot again asked, "What is your IQ sir?"

This time the man answered, "Oh about 100". So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this week end?

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool. Again a martini, and the question, "What is your IQ?"??

This time the man drawled out " Uh..... bout 50".

The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,

"A-r-e y-o-u-r p-e-o-p-l-e g-o-i-n-g t-o n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e H-i-l-l-a-r-y-?


Subject: Amish response

The most remarkable part of this sad story is not what was visible but
what was invisible. The invisible shows the extraordinary character of
these fine people. During this whole process you never saw a finger of
blame being pointed at anyone, including the gunman who took innocent
life from the Amish community. The most you heard was an Amish
spokesman's prepared comments read by a policeman. The comments were
filled with love, understanding and forgiveness for what took place.
Comments that talked about how this man made a bad choice and they
forgive him for making that choice. They didn't blame guns,
politicians, media, society or any of the other normal targets that we
ordinary people look to blame. They didn't blame God or look to make
sense of what is a truly senseless act. They made a choice to live
their faith and trust in God. Knowing full well God loves them and has
forgiven them, in turn they forgive others – even when it means the
loss of something as precious as a child. They chose not to allow hate
to fill their hearts. They know hate produces darkness and eclipses the
light of God in man. They chose to walk in light and not in darkness.
Walking in darkness can only produce more evil, and for the Amish that
wasn't even an option.

Some may suggest that is a sign of weakness, but I know that it is the
sign of ultimate strength. Make no mistake, however; it was a choice.
They could hate and seek revenge. Instead they returned evil with good.
They choose to love and not hate. Their natural reaction was to reach
out to the family of the killer and invite them to the funerals of
their slain children. The Amish have been more concerned about the pain
of the killer's survivors then they are themselves. Perfect love and
forgiveness has sprung forth from this truly extraordinary group of
people.

What a great life lesson we could all receive if we choose to do the
same as we watch Democrats criticize Republicans and Republicans
criticize Democrats. We see no forgiveness from either camp for
mistakes made or poor choices. Instead all we see is the constant
straddling for political advantage. Who can trip up the other versus
trying to heal each other's pain. How elections mean more than truth.
Human decency loses out to advantage and politics.

This week was a rather extraordinary week to me, for I watched
Americans all across this country choose to either be ordinary or
extraordinary. A man chose to walk into a school and kill innocent
kids. A group in D.C. postured and played political gamesmanship to
beat an opponent. They both walk in darkness because their motive is
hate. Then there is a group of folks who chose to be extraordinary
simply by living their faith in a God of love. They didn't blame or
criticize. They didn't look to gain advantage in order to destroy their
opponent. No – they loved and forgave and chose to walk in light.

Some call the Amish old-fashioned. They don't watch TV or listen to the
radio. They don't fill their minds with the toxic waste coming from
Hollywood. They work hard, love their families and love God. I think we
all owe the Amish a collective sense of gratitude, for they have shown
us this week what America could be if we shut off the iPods, turned off
the TV, ignored the agenda-driven media and simply walked in light.
They chose to love and not hate. I can only hope each member on Capitol
Hill and across the nation heard the message coming from Pennsylvania
this week.

To the Amish, I express my heartfelt sorrow and mourning for your loss.
The nation grieves with you. But we also rejoice in knowing your faith
proves to us all there is more than this life. We know those beautiful
young ladies are walking with Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They
have now spent time with Paul, James, Peter and Silas. They have all
now seen HIS face.

Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate every little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ..(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)..... A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really bad day on the day that you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day.

So, the next day at 12:01 the first person came to the gates of Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly asked the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when you died."

"No problem," the man said. "I came home to my 25th-floor apartment on my lunch hour and caught my wife having an affair. But her lover was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was half naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment.

Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of that guy!

Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on his fingers until he fell to the ground.

But wouldn't you know it, he landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he didn't die. This ticked me off even more.

In a rage, I went back inside to get the first heavy thing I could get my hands on to throw at him.

Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped it over the side. It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him!

The excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost instantly."

The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel announced, "OK, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.

A few seconds later the next guy came up. To the Angel's surprise, it was Donald Trump.

"Mr. Trump, before I can let you in, I need to hear about what your day was like when you died."

Trump said, "No problem. But you're not going to believe this. I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped, and accidentally fell over the side!

Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, starts cussing, and stomps on my fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the bottom, which broke my fall, so I didn't die right away.

As I'm laying there face up on the ground, unable to move and in excruciating pain, I see this guy push his refrigerator of all things off the balcony. It falls the 25 floors and lands on top of me, killing me instantly."

The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as Trump finishes his story. "I could get used to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very well," the Angel announces. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets Trump enter.

A few seconds later, Bill Clinton comes up to the gate. The Angel is almost too shocked to speak. Thoughts of assassination and war pour through the Angel's head. Finally he says, "Mr. President, please tell me what it was like the day you died."

Clinton says, "OK, picture this. I'm naked, inside a refrigerator......"

THE ULTIMATE SALESMAN

A young guy from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big "Everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says
"Yeah. I was a salesman back in Minnesota."

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start
tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After
the store was locked up, the ; boss came down. "How many customers bought something from you today?"
The kid says "One".

The boss says "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30
customers a day. How much was the sale for?"
The kid says "$101,237.65".
The boss says "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him
a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod, a tackle box, and fishing line. Then I asked him where he

was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat depar tment and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft, and told him if he didn't want to get lost, he better buy the latest navigational equipment too. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive
department and sold him that 4x4 Lincoln Navigator."

The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold
him a BOAT, a TRUCK, and all the rest?"
The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife
and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot anyway, you should go fishing.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they
were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's
work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what
the drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied,
"They will in a minute."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a

human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human

it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".

A blonde goes into a coffee shop and notices there's a "peel and win" sticker on
her coffee cup.

So she peels it off and starts screaming, "I've won a motorhome!

I've won a motorhome!"

The waitress says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize is a free Lunch.?"

But the blonde keeps on screaming, "I've won a motorhome! I've won a
motorhome!"

Finally, the manager comes over and says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you're
mistaken.
You couldn't have possibly won a motorhome because we didn't have that as a
prize.

The blonde says, "No, it's not a mistake. I've won a motorhome!"

And she hands the ticket to the manager and HE reads...

"W I N A B A G E L"

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

We've all had trouble with our animals, but I don't think anyone can top this one:

THE STORY BRELOW IS NOT ABOUT ME,I SWEAR, HONEST INJUN, IT WAS PASSED ALONG TO US. I HOPE YOU ENJOY.

Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying.

On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury, and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I reasoned, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on the top of my head.

The accident occurred mainly because I had given in to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty. Initially, the new acquisition was no problem.

Then one morning, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Deb, call out to me from the kitchen. "Honey! The garbage disposal is dead again. Please come reset it."

"You know where the button is," I protested through the shower pitter-patter and steam. "Reset it yourself!"

"But I'm scared!" she persisted. "What if it starts going and sucks me in?" There was a meaningful pause and then, "C'mon, it'll only take you a second."

So out I came, dripping wet and butt naked, hoping that my silent outraged nudity would make a statement about how I perceived her behavior as extremely cowardly.

Sighing loudly, I squatted down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last action I remember performing.

It struck without warning, and without any respect to my circumstances. No, it wasn't the hexed disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth. It was our new kitty, who discovered the fascinating dangling objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise moment when I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws. I lost all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements, blindly rising at a violent rate of speed, with the full weight of a kitten hanging from my masculine region.

Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight" syndrome. Men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight" option. I know this from experience. I was fleeing straight up into the air when the sink and cabinet bluntly and forcefully impeded my ascent. The impact knocked me out cold.

When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me. Now there are not many things in this life worse than finding oneself lying on the kitchen floor butt naked in front of a group of "been-there, done that" paramedics. Even worse, having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics were all snorting loudly as they tried to conduct their work, all the while trying to suppress their hysterical laughter......and not succeeding.

Somehow I lived through it all. A few days later I finally made it back in to the office, where colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me about my head injury. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk about, which it was.

"What's the matter?" They all asked, "Cat got your tongue?"

If they only knew!

Why is it that only the women laugh at this?

Hope your week is better than his!!!!!!!!!!

The Bathtub Test
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 and 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?"
DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE

A redneck family from the hills was visiting the
city and they were in a mall for the first time in
their lives. The father and son were strolling around
while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost
everything they saw, but especially by two shiny,
silver walls that could move apart and then slide back
together again. The boy asked, "Paw, what's at?"

The father (never having seen an elevator)
responded, "Son, I dunno. I
ain't never seen anything like that in my entire
life, I ain't got no idea'r what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching with
amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up
to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls
opened and the lady rolled between them into a small
room. The walls closed and the boy and his father
watched the small circular number above the walls
light up sequentially.

They continued to watch until it reached the last
number and then the numbers began to light in the
reverse order. Then the walls opened up again and a
gorgeous, voluptuous 24 year-old blonde woman stepped
out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young
woman, said quietly to his son,
"Boy..................go git cha Momma

Hey Arabs - Here's Your Letter of Apology !

Author unknown - sentiment shared.

For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue On the one hand, right thinking Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern day My Lai massacre.

I heard some Arabs are asking for an apology. I humbly offer mine here:

I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims (Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.).

I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after
9/11. I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Arabs.

I am sorry that Arabs have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships.
I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth. I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools.

I am sorry that Yasir Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high jacked the Palestinian "cause". I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians.

I am sorry that the USA has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA.

I am sorry that our own left wing elite and our media can't understand any of this. I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the "food for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.

I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death. I am sorry that those same bombers are seeking 72 virgins?

I am sorry that the homicide bombers think babies are a legitimate target.

I am sorry that our troops died to free more Arabs. I am sorry they stopped the gang rape rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents.

I am sorry they show so much restraint when their brothers in arms are killed. I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group.

I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state. I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah.

I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy Site".
I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.

I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, etc.

I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa.

I am sorry the French are french?

America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do. We hang out our dirty laundry for all the world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology.

Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners.

Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujans.

If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long wait. You have a better chance of finding those 72 virgins.

If you are "sorry" also, pass it on!



Here is something EVERY AMERICAN should know.

We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps."

It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes.

But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings.

Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia.

The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land.
During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field.

Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention.

Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment.

When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead.


The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army.

The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. This wish was granted.

The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps" .. used at military funerals was born. The words are....

Day is done ... Gone the sun...From the lakes ... >From the hills...From the sky .. All is well .. Safely rest ... God is nigh

Fading light ... Dims the sight ... And a star .. Gems the sky... Gleaming bright .. >From afar .. Drawing nigh ... Falls the night ..


Thanks and praise ... For our days ... Neath the sun . Neath the stars ... Neath the sky ... As we go .. This we know . God is nigh .

I, too, have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along. I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before.

REMEMBER THOSE LOST AND HARMED WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY. And also those presently serving in the Armed Forces..


NOTE- SORRY IF THIS IS A LITTLE MORE RISQUE THAN USUAL, I JUST COULDN'T RESIST.

I SPY

Joe was traveling through Mexico on vacation when, lo and behold,
he lost his wallet and all identification. Cutting his trip short,
he attempts to make his way home but is stopped by the
Customs Agent at the border.

"May I see your identification, please?" asks the agent.

"I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replies the guy.

"Sure, buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no crossing the border,"
says the agent.

"But I can prove that I'm an American!" he exclaims. "I have a picture
of Ronald Reagan tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture of
George Bush on the other."

"This I gotta see," replies the agent. With that, Joe drops his pants and
bends over in front of the agent.

"By golly, you're right!" exclaims the agent. "Go on home to Boston."

"Thanks!" Joe says. "But how did you know I was from Boston?"

The agent replies, "I recognized the picture of John Kerry in the middle."

Subject: Eagle

America is typically represented by an eagle....

Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran

Verse 9:11

For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome

Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of

Allah and lo,while some of the people trembled in despair, still more

rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and

there was peace.

Note the verse number

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about
who was better at using the computer. They had been
going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all
the bickering. Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going
to set up a test which will take two hours and it will
judge who does the better job."
> > > > > >
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed
away.

They moused.

They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.

They sent faxes.

They sent e-mails.

They sent out e-mails with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did some genealogy reports.

They made cards.

They did every known job.

But, ten minutes before the time was up, lightning
suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the
rain poured, and of course, the electricity went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every
curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of
them restarted their computers. Satan started
searching, frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's all
gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his
files from the past two hours.

Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait!
He cheated! How did he do it??!!"


God shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves."



A blonde police officer pulls over a blonde in a convertible sports car for speeding.
She walks over to the car and asks the blonde driver for some I.D.
The blonde convertible driver searches through her purse in vain.
Finally she asks, "What does it look like?"
The blonde police officer tells her, "It's that thing with your picture on it."

The blonde driver searches for a few more seconds, pulls out her compact, opens it, and sure enough sees her picture.
She hands the compact to the blonde cop.
The blonde cop looks at the compact for a few seconds, then rolls her eyes, hands the compact back to the blonde convertible driver, and says,

"If you had told me you were a police officer when I first pulled you over, we could have avoided this whole thing!"


The Loan

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and
needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some
kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a
new Rolls Royce.

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


An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde
returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are
a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?"

The blond 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?"

Finally, a smart blonde joke

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer…but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

Born to Sell... Now, here's a guy who makes the most out of a sales opportunity!

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big mega department
store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?

The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas."

Well, the boss liked the kid's looks, so he gave him the job.

"You can start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was
locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?"
the boss asked.

The kid says, "One."

The boss says, "Just one!? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?"

The kid says, "$101,237.64."

The boss says, "$101,237.64? What in the world did you sell?"

The kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium
size fish hook. Then I sold him an even larger fish hook. Then I sold him a
new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said
down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down
to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft.

Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him
down to the automotive department and sold him that 4 x 4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him
a boat and truck?"

The kid says, "Well, no. Actually, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for
his wife and I said, "Well, your weekend's shot... you might as well go fishing."



At Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet
was stretched out to Air Force One and President Bush
strode to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen
Elizabeth II.

They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of
central London where they boarded an open 17th century
coach hitched to six magnificent white horses.

As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking to
their side and waving to the thousands of cheering
Britons lining the streets, all was going well.

This was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and
dignity.

Suddenly the scene was shattered when the right rear
horse let rip the most horrendous, earth-shattering,
eye-smarting blast of flatulence, and the coach
immediately filled with noxious fumes.

Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two
dignitaries did their best to ignore the whole
incident, but then the Queen decided that was a
ridiculous manner with which to handle a most
embarrassing situation.

She turned to Mr. Bush and explained, "Mr. President,
please accept my regrets... I'm sure you understand
that there are some things even a Queen cannot
control."

George W., ever the Texas gentleman, replied, "Your
Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought.
You know, if you hadn't said something I would have
assumed it was one of the horses."


Indian Lore

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed down from generation to generation, says "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

The Federal government employs more advanced strategies:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride
horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve
the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less
costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than live horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And my personal favorite...........

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.



Anyone remember this?? It was 1987!
At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt. Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by some senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"
"No, sir," continued Ollie.
"No? And why not?" the senator asked.
"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.
"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.
"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore

The Umbrella and the Beaver

A 90-year-old man said to his doctor, "I've
never felt better. I have
an 18-year-old bride who is pregnant with my
child. What do you think
about that?
The doctor considered his question for a minute
and then said, "I have
an elderly friend who is a hunter and never
misses a season. One day
when he was going out in a bit of a hurry, he
accidentally picked up his
umbrella instead of his gun. When he got to the
creek, he saw a beaver
sitting beside the stream. He raised his
umbrella
and went, 'bang, bang' and the beaver fell dead.
What do you think of
that?"

The 90-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else
shot that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly

2. There are no dental records.

minute..." Thank you," the blonde says, and hangs up.


Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez. How
was he killed?" asked one detective. "With a golf gun," the other detective
replied." "A golf gun?! What is a golf gun?" "I don't know. But it sure made
a hole in Juan."


The investigation of Martha Stewart continues. Her recipe for chicken
casserole is quite efficient. First you boil the chicken in water. And then
you dump the stock.

While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of
bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had
even considered buying a bathing suit, so I sought my husband's advice.
What do you think?" I asked. "Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?"
Better get a bikini," he replied. "You'd never get it all in one."

mistake. She turned and looked at him for an explanation. He said, "I did
that by accident." She replied, "I know that, Grandpa." He replied, "How did
you know?" She said, "Because you didn't say "idiot!" afterwards.


A teenage boy and his girlfriend have decided to have sex, Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never done it before, so he takes a tripto the pharmacist to get some protection. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about protection and doing it. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many he'd like to buy; a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be very busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parent's house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in."

The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.

Ten minutes pass and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to her boyfriend, "I had no idea you were so religious."

The boy turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."


A professor is sent to darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe.
He spends years with them, teaching them reading, writing,
math, and science.

One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child.
The members of the tribe are shocked.
The chief pulls the professor aside and says,
"Look here! You're the only white man we've ever seen
and this woman gave birth to a white child.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"

The professor replied, "Chief, you're mistaken. What you have
here is a natural occurrence... what we in the civilized world call an albino!
Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black one.
Nature does this on occasion."

The chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell you what.
You don't say anything more about the sheep
and I won't say anything more about the baby"



.An atheist professor was teaching a college class and he told the class that
he was going to prove that there is no God.

He said, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this
platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"

Ten minutes went by. He kept taunting God, saying,"Here I am, God. I'm still
waiting."

He got down to the last couple of minutes and a Marine just released from
active duty, and newly registered in the class, walked up to the professor,
hit him full force in the face, and sent him flying from his platform.

The professor struggled up, obviously shaken and yelled, "What's the matter
with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine replied, "God was busy; He sent me."


The Cabdriver.

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living.
When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a
single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers
would just honk once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away.

But, I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only
means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to
the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to
myself.

So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a
frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before me.
She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like
somebody out of a 1940s movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if
no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.

There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters.
In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the
suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we
walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

"It's nothing", I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the
way I would want my mother treated". "Oh, you're such a good boy", she said.

When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, "Could
you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a
hospice".

I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. "I don't have any
family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long."

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to
take?" I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building
where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We
drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had
lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a
furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as
a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or
corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, "I'm
tired. Let's go now."

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a
driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon
as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They
must have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The
woman was already seated in a wheelchair. "How much do I owe you?" she asked,
reaching into her purse. "Nothing," I said.

"You have to make a living," she answered.

"There are other passengers," I responded.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank
you."

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light.

Behind me, a door shut. ...... It was the sound of the closing of a
life.

I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly
lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that
woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift?
What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more
important in my life.

We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great
moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what
others may consider a small one.

PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT 'YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU
SAID,

~BUT ~


THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL



Subject: Cajun Fisherman

A Cajun was stopped by a game warden in Southern Louisiana recently with
two ice chests of fish, leaving a bayou well known for its fishing. The
game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, ma fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Ya. Avery night I take dese here fish down to de bayou and let dem swim
'round for a while. Den I whistle and dey jump rat back inta dis here
ice chest and I take dem home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's de
truth ma' fren. I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The Cajun poured the fish into the bayou and stood and waited. After
several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" Said the Cajun.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"



A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, "I clocked you at 80 mile per hour, sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar needs calibrating."

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says sweetly from the passenger seat, "Now don't be silly, dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."

As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?"

The wife smiles demurely and says, " You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did." As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Darn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut."

The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine."

T! he driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket."

The wife says," Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving."

And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE HELL UP??"

The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"

"Oh, heavens no, officer. Only when he's been drinking."
