Somtimes I wonder about the intelligence of this group, so I'm offering a test that was used at John Hopkins University to test the aptitude of the students.
See how you do.
Three young women have all been working eighty-hour weeks for six
years in the struggle to make partner at the prestigious law firm,
and the cutoff date is fast approaching. Each one is brainy,
talented, and ambitious, but there's only room for one new partner.
At a loss as to which one to pick, the senior officer finally devises
a little test. One day, while all three are out to lunch, he places
an envelope containing five hundred dollars on each of their desks.
The first woman returns the envelope to him immediately. The second
woman invests the money in the market and returns fifteen hundred
dollars to him the next morning. The third woman pockets the cash. So
which one gets the promotion?

I'll admit, I got this one wrong:
There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
Think about it first before looking down for the answer...

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the
tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are
afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the
apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when
in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to
come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top
of the tree.
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and
it's up to women to stomp the sh#t out of them until they turn into
something acceptable to have dinner with.

Peter Marshall: As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while you are talking?
Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing older question, Peter...and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget!
(from the June 1980 NBC finale)
Peter Marshall: Way back in 1256, a philosopher and monk named Roger Bacon took 41.2 percent salt peter, and 29.4 each of sulfur and carbon, and came up with the modern version of something...what?
Rose Marie: Army food.
Peter Marshall: True or False: the biggest problem couples face in marriage is having sex.
Rose Marie: No, that's the second biggest problem. The biggest problem is no sex.
Peter Marshall: Is it okay to freeze mushrooms?
Rose Marie: What else do I have to do, Pete?
Peter Marshall: You're a shy, bashful girl...
Rose Marie: Oh no I'm not!
Peter Marshall: All hypothetical, of course. According to "Cosmo," will you probably be helped in overcoming your shyness by choosing an extroverted, outgoing husband?
Rose Marie: Gosh Peter, I did that once and his wife caught us.
Peter Marshall: During a tornado, are you safer in the bedroom or in the closet?
Rose Marie: Unfortunately, Peter, I'm always safe in the bedroom.
Peter Marshall: According to Good Housekeeping, how many years is the life expectancy of your lingerie?
Rose Marie: If you're talking about wear and tear, mine will last forever.
Peter Marshall: In bowling, what's a perfect score?
Rose Marie: Ralph, the pin boy.
Peter Marshall: True or false, most people's attitudes toward strangers is, "Don't get too close to me, I prefer to keep you at arm's length!"
(loud horn sounds to signify end of nighttime show)
Rose Marie: That's my opinion!
Peter Marshall: True or false...you can get a camel to be more cooperative by giving it tobacco and perfume.
Rose Marie: You can get an awful lot out of me that way!
Peter Marshall: True or false...a new millionaire is made every 30 minutes.
Rose Marie: Not by me.
Peter Marshall: In 1914, a new dance was introduced to America that became so controversial that it was barred from college campuses, and ministers preached against it as immoral. We do it today though. What dance was it?
Rose Marie: Why do you ask me a question about 1914?!

IMO, the entire run of the original Hollywood Squares was great. All the quips from Rose Marie, Charley Weaver, Vincent Price, George Gobel, Wally Cox. etc. But Paul was always my favorite. I also, regret he died at such a young age. Perhaps these days, he'd be giving Dame Edna a run for her money!
I've met Rose Marie & she still "has the goods". Very witty & quick.
And all the fun that was had with "Dicker & Dicker of Beverly Hills" (which still exists, BTW!)
Also, I always remember them (Hollywood Squares) advertising Lola Falana appearing at the Tropicana. As a young teen in the midwest, the Tropicana sounded truly exotic. Several years ago, while in Vegas (after the advent of the 'casinos-big-as-cities'), I HAD to walk through the Tropicana and was sorely disappointed. It was so tiny & unimpressive, compared to the new ones. But I guess that's why most (all?) of the legendary, old casinos are gone, now.

THIS IS SO TRUE
last time i was in Vegas (in the last year) its sad how many of the classic casinos are gone
AND they are now going to tear down the STARDUST in 2007 to rebuild it bigger and allegedly better. About all that is left is the Frontier and the Alladin (but thats not the original, it was totally rebuilt too!)
I wish that more people in Vegas would pay attention to the history and not just be interested in what new cheezy gimmick casino there can be now---- does anyone really care if a casino looks like a pyramid or like a pirate ship?

Yeah, the last time I was in Vegas (Oct 2004), it was at "Lake Las Vegas", a new development on the outskirts which (at least at that time) was so totally anti-Vegas it was scary. (The place actually closed down (casino too!) and was dark in the middle of the night!) I didn't have the chance to get to the strip, so although I know they are tearing down the few remaining legendary casinos, I didn't get a chance to check out which ones still existed at that time. It's so sad, when you think of the history (good & bad).

Yeah, the Frontier has to go (I was just out there last week). It's old, small and has nothing to draw the people into it.
Vegas has to keep changing, adapting to new styles and attracting new visitors. If it was the same 40 casinos, year after year, people would get a bit bored. But one major change I've noticed over the last 10 years is the movement away from the 'family friendly' atmosphere, to the upper scale adult only. They finally figured out that if you're out there with your kids, you're not gambling! DUH!! The only hotels with any family oriented attractions anymore is Circus Circus (has to be upgraded soon!!) and Excalibur. The only 'original' Vegas is pretty much downtown on Fremont street.
Me, I don't care for any of that - just as long as they have good blackjack, Pai Gow, and Texas Hold'em, I'm good! ;)

no padre, i actually stayed at the Frontier a few months back
it IS small, it is NOTHING Fancy, that is why i like it
its REAL VEGAS with history, i could go on for hours about the history there
i like it like that, maybe im just a dork, but it means more to me that Sinatra or Reagan stayed on the floor im at, at a small, dinky casino
than whether or not it has the newest SIEGREID and ROY exhibit
PLUS the frontier still has a GILLEYS bar inside!!!

After the annual office Christmas party blow-out, John woke up with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening.
After a trip to the bathroom he was able to make his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him.
"Louise," he moaned, "tell me what went on last night. Was it as bad as I think?"
"Even worse," she assured him in her most scornful one. "You made a complete ass of yourself, succeeded in antagonizing the entire board of directors, and insulted the chairman of the company to his face."
"He's an arrogant, self-important *****, piss on him!"
"You did. All over his suit, " Louise informed him. "And he fired you."
"Well, screw him," said John.
"I did. You're back at work on Monday."

Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and it shrinks two sizes.
It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to your hips.
Age is important only if you're cheese or wine.
The only time a woman wishes she were a year older is when she is expecting a baby.

Murphy's Law for Cops
Bullet Proof vests aren't.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. They punch, kick and choke harder too.
The speed at which you respond to a fight call is inversely proportional to how long you've been a cop.
Tear gas works on cops too, and regardless of wind direction, will always blow back in your face.
High speed chases will always proceed from an area of light traffic to an area of extremely heavy traffic.
If you know someone who tortures animals and wets the bed, he is either a serial killer or he works for Internal Affairs.
Placing a gun back in a shoulder holster with your finger on the trigger will cause you to walk with a limp.
Flash suppressors don't really.
If you have `cleared' all the rooms and met no resistance, you and your entry team have probably kicked in the door of the wrong house.
If a cop swings a baton in a fight, he will hit other cops more often than he will hit the bad guys he swings at.
Domestic arguments will always migrate from an area of few available weapons (living room), to an area with many available weapons (kitchen).
If you have just punched out a handcuffed prisoner for spitting at you, you are about to become a star on `Eyewitness News'.
Bullets work on veteran cops too. They also work on weight lifters, martial arts experts, department marksmen, Narco Investigators, S.W.A.T. jocks, and others who consider themselves immortal.
When a civilian sees a red light approaching at a high rate of speed, he will always pull into the lane the cop needs to use.
If you drive your patrol car to the geometric center of the Gobi Desert, within five minutes some dumb civilian will pull along side you and ask for directions.
You can never drive slow enough to please the citizens who don't need a cop, and you can never drive fast enough to please the ones who do.
Any suspect with a rifle is a better shot than any cop with a pistol.
From behind you, the bad guys can see your night sights as well as you can.
On any call, there will always be more `bad guys' than there are good guys, and the farther away your back-up, the more there will be.
The longer you've been a cop, the shorter your flashlight and your temper gets.
Whatever you are about to do, if there is a good chance it will get you killed, you probably shouldn't do it.
You should never do a shotgun search of a dark warehouse with a cop whose nickname is "Boomer."
The better you do your job, the more likely you are to be shot, injured, complained on, sued, investigated, or subpoenaed on your day off.
If a large group of drunk bikers is "holed-up" in a house, the Department will send one officer in a beat car. If there is one biker "holed-up" in a house, they will send the entire S. W. A. T. Team.
The likelihood that you are speaking to an undercover law enforcement officer, is directly proportional to the number of personal questions being asked of you.

Re: "Directions to your house include, "Turn off the paved road." Let me tell you a story. There is a Boy Scout Camp in Kiln, Mississippi ("Home of Brett Favre"- they used to have a big homemade sign there welcoming you!). Anyway, the directions to Camp Salmen include "turn left at the brick house". Also, there is a bar along the road through Kiln that has a sign that reads "Pool Tabel's". That's right, not only spelled wrong, but possessive as well. Now think about it. Not only did the owner spell it wrong, but apparently everyone that patronized that fine establishment failed to mention it to the owner, meaning they saw nothing wrong either. :lol:

Words to Live By at Work
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.
If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.
Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he / she is supposed to be doing.
Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
Following the rules will not get the job done.
Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
No matter how much you do, you never do enough.
The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.
Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn.
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
What am I? Flypaper for freaks?
I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of karma to burn off.
Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
No, my powers can only be used for good.
How about never? Is never good for you?
I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
You sound reasonable. Time to up my medication.
I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
Who me? I just wander from room to room.
It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm really quite busy.
At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
Rules For Work:
1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Even better, hover behind me, and advise me at every keystroke.
3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
4. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is priority. I am psychic.
5. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.
6. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.
7. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.
8. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.
9. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
10. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to manager's hell.
11. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so many taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.
12. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.

A priest, a pentecostal preacher and a rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette.
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.
Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, " WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."
They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as "Bubba." You have a 75% chance of being right.
3. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
5. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
6. Do not buy food at the movie store.
7. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone eating.
8. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
9. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
10. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either.
11. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
12. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
13. If attending a funeral in the South, remember, we stay until the last shovel of dirt is thrown on and the tent is torn down.
14. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.
15. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a Southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased.
16. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.
17. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your trailer. This is logical bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be displayed.
18. Tornadoes and Southerners going through a divorce have a lot in common. In either case, you know someone is going to lose a trailer.
19. Florida is not considered a Southern State. There are far more Yankees than Southerners living there.
20. If you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for the vehicle.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in
the right place, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the
tempting moment.
Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician.
Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.
Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show.
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain
consciousness.
If at first you don't succeed, see if the loser gets anything.
You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because
you stop laughing.
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an
idiot.
Don't worry about the world ending today. It's already tomorrow
somewhere else.
Character is what you are. Reputation is what people think you are.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
There is always one more idiot than you counted on.
If at first you don't succeed . . . Well, so much for sky diving.

Excuses for missing work:
I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half
back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time
continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was
able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power
source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously
rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I
will be in late, or early.
My stigmata's acting up.
I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous
boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?
I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have
that deadline to meet...
I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Mart.
Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and,
hey, how about them Bears, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I
help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with my current long distance
company, but thank you for calling.
I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't
come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false
information.
The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me
this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.
The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.
I prefer to remain an enigma.
I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my
house is completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for
helicopter transportation.
I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.
I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.
I refuse to travel to my job until there is a commuter tax. I insist
on paying my fair share.
I've used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead!

The Woman's Code Here is the Woman's Code. The secret rules that
women live by but rarely divulge to men. . .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
- Invite a man to go shopping with you only if you need someone to
carry your packages or drive.
- Assure your boyfriend that every female movie star has had a boob
job.
- When your man asks you what's wrong, say "Nothing." However, when
Oprah, Dr. Phil or Dr. Laura asks you, go into excruciating detail.
Leave nothing out.
- The negative effects of cheese puffs and chocolate-chocolate chip
ice cream are offset by the positive effects of diet soda.
- Feet are flexible and can be made to fit into shoes varying from
size 7 to 9, depending on what's on sale.
- You can skimp on clothes, but a good bra is worth its weight in
gold. (That's Victoria's secret.)
- The Patricia Principle: The more you've been trying to attract the
attention of a particular man, the more likely it is that you'll run
into him when you're sweaty, short of sleep, without makeup, wearing
house-painting clothes, with your hair in a bandana.
- The best response to a married man who's hitting on you is, "Say,
don't I know your wife?"
- Learn how to say "Back off" very loudly and look fierce while you
say it.
- Let every new man in your life know that you've got a black belt in
karate.
- Make friends with your hormones. They're what make you colorful and
unpredictable. If other people have a hard time with that, that's
their problem.
- When you hear your mother's words coming out of your mouth, shut
your mouth. Unless your mother was really wise.
- When in doubt, say no.
- You're under no obligation to tell the truth when asked the number
of your sexual partners.
- Men love a woman who's good in bed. But not the first time they go
to bed with her.
- No matter how much they fight it, all men need a woman to organize
their lives and their closets and tell them what kind of hair
products to use.
- Consider yourself a sculptor and your man a block of marble. Chip
away until you have created someone you can live with. He'll thank
you. Later.
- Always remember: Inside the biggest, burliest, most macho man lives
an ego as delicate and fragile as a baby chick making its first
venture outside the egg.
- Laugh at a man at your own peril.
- The only women who look good first thing in the morning are the
women who don't know how to put on makeup.
- When splitting a dinner check with girlfriends, it's perfectly
acceptable to take out a calculator.
- If you drop your girlfriends as soon as you have a boyfriend, you
will live to regret your decision.
- Food eaten while preparing other food has no calories.
- When consumed for its antioxidant properties, dark chocolate has
less fat than broccoli.
- It's a medical fact that some women gain weight although they eat
only salads.
- It's another medical fact that too much lettuce can lead to
depression.
- Women who never binge have no souls.
- Only a masochist weighs herself the day after a binge.
- Ditto anyone who looks at herself naked in a three-way mirror.
- Even Angelina Jolie has some part of her body she hates.
- Falling in love is a sure way to lose five pounds.
- Getting dumped is a sure way to gain 10.
- Nothing is sweeter than finding out that the cute boy who dumped
you in the 12th grade lives in his mother's basement.
- Except going to your high school reunion and seeing that the prom
queen shops at Lane Bryant.
- Black really does make you look thinner.

Time to do the inner-blonde test! Pay close attention! There are 10 questions, so you should be able to answer them all in 2 minutes. DO NOT look at the answers found at the end of this document, that would be cheating! Write each of your answers down, it makes a difference!
--------------------------------------------
1. Some months have 30 days, some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?
2. If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills taken?
3. I went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine o'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being woken by the alarm?
4. Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?
5. A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left?
6. If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?
7. A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What colour is the bear?
8. Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have?
9. How many animals of each species did Moses take with him in the Ark?
10. If you drove a bus with 43 people on board from Chicago and stopped at Pittsburgh to pick up 7 more people and drop off 5 passengers and at Cleveland to drop off 8 passengers and pick up 4 more and eventually arrive at Philadelphia 20 hours later, what's the name of the driver?
--------------------------------------------
ANSWERS :
1. All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.
2. 1 hour. If you take a pill at 1 o'clock, then another at 1.30 and the last at 2 o'clock, they will be taken in 1 hour.
3. 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.
4. 70. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.
5. 9 live sheep.
6. The match.
7. White. If all walls face south, the house must be on the North Pole.
8. 2 apples. I HAVE 3 APPLES, YOU TAKE 2, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
9. None. It was Noah, not Moses.
10. YOU are the driver.

Rules for Visitors in Texas
Don't order a steak at a Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. And don't assume that Waffle House grits are any more typical of grits in the Righteous South than McDonald's represents your best California dinner.
Don't laugh at folk's names. Merleen, Bodie, Luther Ray, Bobby Sue, MaryBeth and Inez have been known to whip a man's behind for less than that.
Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda; this can lead to a beating. Down here it's called Coke, even if you want a Pepsi.
Texas women don't take a fancy to smart mouth Yankees. Just remember, they all have brothers and daddies. And when they call you a Yankee it's NOT a compliment.
Don't show allegiances to any other school in football other than a Texas team. All the others are a bunch of sissies who play Wyoming every week.
Don't call us a bunch of hillbillies. Many of us are better educated than you and a whole lot nicer to boot. And more modest.
Yes, we know the humidity is high; just quit complaining, spend your money and go home.
No, the state symbol of Texas is not the orange and white highway barrel. This road construction bothers us too.
Don't go to the Cracker Barrel and order toast. If you do this everyone will know you're from Ohio. Just eat the biscuits like God meant for you to do.
Don't try to talk with a Texas accent if you don't have one. Nothing makes us madder than a Texan wannabe.
Don't be telling everybody how much better it was back home. If you don't like it here, get your sorry behind back home! As the famous bumpersticker says: "We don't care how you did it up north."
We don't play lacrosse or none of them other sissy northern games, so don't be asking about no scores, cause we just don't care.

There is no team with maybe the exception of the Mets I hate more then then Gang Green. Was a Giant fan since a child and grew up in the glory years of the fearsome foursome, Greer, Modeleski, Katcavage and Robestelli, with Sam Huff to clog up the middle. What years, first Connerly as QB and then Y.A.
I must correct one statement I made. My most hated team and I was born six blocks away and lived their for the first 19 years of my life, was the Brooklyn Dodgers. A strong, strong, staunch Giant fan, in particular "say hey Willie"

Well, the U.K. is heard from. Next Joker will tell us that curling is a sport. Lamont grew up on Tiddlywinks. Nuff said. Hated punch ball, thought it was to rough. While the boys played football Lamont helped his mother with the dollies. Ask him for his recipe on sponge cake. I think Loren was correct in what he told me in private about Lamont.

Is that the best you got? Come on with all those years behind you you have to be able to get a better burn in than that.
I was expecting something witty and inciteful not an "i know you are but what am I response".
Now if you are going to throw cartoons in there pick Stewie or the Ambiguously Gay Duo to emphasize your point.
If you are gonna burn me try and make it a better one next time... maybe you just woke up from nap time???

The babies are named Kenneth, Nathaniel, Brandon, Joel, Kelsey, Natalie and Alexis.

Between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets. 67 of them survived infancy.
The modern world record for giving birth is held by Leontina Albina from San Antonio, Chile. Leontina claims to be the mother of 64 children, of which only 55 of them are documented. She is listed in the 1999 Guinness World Records but dropped from later editions.

1. Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see Right through them.
2. Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons Are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3. A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4. A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have To light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part
5. Sponges are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6. A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7. A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
8. An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the Bottom.
9. A Hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 Years, but it's handy to have around.
10. A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male, didn't you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and While he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps! trying!

Ineffective Daily Affirmations
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed.
In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.
Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others.
My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment. I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more.
I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain.
As I learn the innermost secrets of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet.
When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying.
The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things.
As I learn to trust the universe, I no longer need to carry a gun.
All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts.
I am at one with my duality.
Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots.
I will strive to live each day as if it were my 50th birthday.
Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears.
Does my quiet self-pity get to you or should I move up to incessant nagging?
Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so."
False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.
Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom.
Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute... I'll find someone.
Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future?
The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step, blaming my parents.
I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
The next time the universe knocks on my door, I will pretend I am not home.
To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
No way will I accept YES for an answer !
I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.

How To Save The Airline Industry & Stop Muslim Hijackings
TO: Federal Aviation Administration
Our airline industry is in real trouble, and it's time to start fixing this before it's too late. To that end, here are some modest suggestions:
Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell -- the attendants have gotten old and haggard-looking. They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every heterosexual businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working and have them kick back 20% of the tips.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why the hell didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)
To those of us who have children in our lives,
whether they are our own,
grandchildren,
nieces,
nephews,
or students...
here is something to make you chuckle.
Whenever your children are out of control,
you can take comfort from the thought that
even God's omnipotence did not extend
to His own children.
After creating heaven and earth,
God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was
"DON'T!"
"Don't what?"
Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
God said.
"Forbidden fruit?
We have forbidden fruit? < B>
Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!"
"No Way!"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit! "
said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so! "
God replied,
wondering why He hadn't stopped
creation after making the elephants.
A few minutes later,
God saw His children having an apple break
and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? "
God asked.
"Uh huh,"
Adam replied.
"Then why did you? "
said the Father.
"I don't know,"
said Eve.
"She started it! "
Adam said.
"Did not! "
"Did too! "
"DID NOT! "
Having had it with the two of them,
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own.
Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

Diary Of A Viagra Housewife
Dear Diary
Day 1
Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with not much to celebrate. When it came time to re-enact our wedding night, HE locked himself in the bathroom and cried.
Day 2
Today he says he has a big secret to tell me. He's impotent, he says, and he wants me to be the first to know. Why doesn't he tell me something I DON'T know! I mean, gimme a break. He's been dysfunctional for so long, he even WALKS with a limp.
Day 3
This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Yesterday, I saw a picture of the Washington Monument and burst into tears.
Day 4
A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix his "problem". It's called Viagra. I told him if he takes Viagra, things will be just like they were on our wedding night. He said, "this time, I'd rather not have your mother join us". (I think this will work. I replaced his Prozac with the Viagra, hoping to lift something other than his mood.)
Day 7
This Viagra thing has gone to his head (no pun intended). Yesterday, at Burger King, the manager asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking about him. GET OVER YOURSELF!! Not everything is about you!
Day 8
I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the lawn, he was using his new friend as a weed wacker.
Day 10
Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much. And to make matters worse, he's washing the Viagra down with Hard Cider! The photo of Janet Reno isn't working. What am I gonna do?
Day 11
The side effects are starting to get to him. Everything is turning blue. The other day, we were watching Kenneth Branaugh in Hamlet and he thought it was The Smurfs Do Denmark.
Day 12
I'm basically being drilled to death. It's like going out with Black and Decker.
Day 13
I bought 400 Liza Minelli albums and I keep saying "fabulous," and he still keeps coming after me! I wish he was gay.
Day 14
Now I know how Saddam Hussein's wife feels. Every time I shut my eyes, there's a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. Let's hope he's like President Bush and pulls out in 100 days.
Day 15
I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started dressing like a nun. Now he tells me Sister Wendy revs his motor.
Day 16
I may just have to kill him. Then he'll go out the way he wants to: Stiff. With my luck, I won't be able to close the casket.

More than 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered how to make
silk from silkworm cocoons. For about 3,000 years, the Chinese
kept this discovery a secret. Because poor people could not
afford real silk, they tried to make other cloth look silky.
Women would beat on cotton with sticks to soften the fibers.
Then they rubbed it against a big stone to make it shiny. The
shiny cotton was called "chintz." Because chintz was a cheaper
copy of silk, calling something "chintzy" means it is cheap and
not of good quality.

What Every Man Expects In A Wife
She will always be beautiful and cheerful.
She could marry a movie star, but wants only you.
She will have hair that never needs curlers or beauty shops.
Her beauty won't run in a rainstorm.
She will never be sick -- just allergic to jewelry and fur coats.
She will insist that moving the furniture by herself is good for her figure.
She will be an expert in cooking, cleaning house, fixing the car or TV, painting the house, and keeping quiet.
Her favorite hobbies will be mowing the lawn and shoveling snow.
She will hate charge cards.
Her favorite expression will be, "Can I get you guys another round of beers?"
She will think you have Einstein's brain but look like Mr. America.
She will wish you would go out with the boys so that she could get some sewing done.
She will love you because you're so sexy.
What He Usually Gets
She speaks 140 words a minute, with gusts up to 180.
She was once a model for a dump truck company.
Where there's smoke, there she is -- cooking.
She's a light eater. Once it gets light, she starts eating.
She lets you know you only have two faults. Everything you do, and everything you say.
No matter what she does with it, her hair looks like an explosion in a steel wool factory.
If you get lost, open your wallet and she'll find you.

A wilderness area asked hikers to fill out comment cards. These are actual comments left by hikers:
Trail needs to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.
Too many bugs and leaches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.
Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow during the winter.
Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.
The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.
A small deer came into my camp and stole my jar of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call XXX-XXX-XXXX.
Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.
Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.
Need more signs to keep area pristine.
A McDonalds would be nice at the trailhead.
The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.
I brought lots of sandwich makings, but forgot bread. If you have extra bread, leave it in the yellow tent at V Lake.

The Top 15 Signs You've Hired the Wrong Housekeeper
The good news: Her French maid outfit.
The bad news: Her beard and moustache.
Housekeepers.com instructs you to attach vacuum cleaner and mop to your computer's USB port.
Keeps looking nervously at the TV and asking if you're planning to watch America's Most Wanted.
Shows up wearing nothing but a strategically-placed feather duster. (Oops! That's a sign your *husband* hired the housekeeper.)
First question: "Do you fold your towels before you put them away?"
"Well, Mr. Kaelin, your credentials check out perfectly. You're hired."
She's great with the food budget -- but the hamsters are missing and last night's burgers tasted a bit funky.
You find a 4-lb. pork roast under the blanket in the nursery, and the baby wrapped in tinfoil in the freezer.
By the time you figured out that your brand-new deluxe model of the Housekeeping-Butler-Maid-o-matic was a bad idea, your wife has left you for the Business-Sportsman-Pornstar 3000.
"Sorry, but due to a recent federal ruling, I don't do Windows."
When confronted about nothing being cleaned, insists that "Scrubbing Bubbles does the work so I don't have too."
She doesn't do windows, but she *does* do your 14-year old son.
Well, they don't call him "Mr. French" because of his accent.
Scoot marks on the rug, and you don't even have a dog.

One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me have sex with you."
The girl said, " NO."
Johnny said, "I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, You bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up"
She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend. She called her boyfriend and told him the story
The boyfriend said, "Ask him for $200, then pick up the money very fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down."
She agreed and accepted the proposal. Half an hour went by and the boyfriend was waiting for his girlfriend to call. Finally after 45 minutes the boyfriend called and asked what happened......
She said, "The bastard used quarters!"

Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat
word for word what you shouldn't have said.
Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching
them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years
telling them to sit down and shut-up.
Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.
I love to give homemade gifts. Which one of my kids
do you want?
Children are natural mimics who act like their parents,
despite every effort to teach them good manners.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like
shoveling the drive before it has stopped snowing.
"There is only one pretty child in the world... and every
mother has it." - Chinese Proverb.
Children will soon forget your presents. They will always
remember your presence.
The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind
yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids.
"Who are these kids and why are they calling me Mom?"
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of
the people some of the time, but you can never fool mom.
A child's greatest period of growth is the month after
you've purchased new school clothes.
Anyone who says "Easy as taking candy from a baby"
has never tried it.
The best inheritance parents can give their children is
a few minutes of their time each day.

Thank You For All Of The E-Mail Forwards...
1. I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.
2. Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
3. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
4. I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
5. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St.Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
6. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
7. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
8. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
9. Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
10. I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.
11. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
12. I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
13. And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life.
14. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
15. I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
16. I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
17. I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.
18. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
19. I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
20. I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
21. Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.
22. Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.
23. And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 I dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
24. Don't forget this one either...I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!
25. And the one I love best!.... Don't go out to night clubs because organ harvesters will drug you and steal your kidneys
26. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of mine's next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...
Have a wonderful day....

Running Doe A young Native American woman went to a doctor for her first
ever physical exam. After checking all of her vitals and running the
usual tests, the doctor said, "Well, Running Doe, you are in fine
health. I could find no problems. I did notice one abnormality however."
"Oh, what is that, Doctor?"

Rhetorical Wisdom
What if life is a joke and we don't get it?
Why is nothing as easy as it looks?
Why is it that the most important things in life aren't things?
Why does something always happen ?
Why is 'if' the middle word in life?
Why is what you don't do is always more important than what you do do?
Why is nothing as good as it was before?
Why is it that almost anything is easier to get into than out of?
Why is Living the Good Life and Living a Good Life not the same thing?
Do you have 'a life' if you like what you're doing? Or does everyone else have to like what you're doing too?
Why is it that luck usually seems to favor the people who don't need it?
Isn't depression is merely anger without enthusiasm?
The early bird gets the worm, but doesn't the second mouse gets the cheese?
Remember, if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation.
Indecision is the key to flexibility.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
The fool doth think himself wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Its better to keep one's mouth shut and appear stupid than open in and remove all doubts.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
The mark of an educated mind is to be able to entertain a thought without having to accept it.
Honesty is often the best policy, but insanity is usually a better defense.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
If you can't be kind, at least be vague.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Think negative, and you've already failed.
Success in life is a long, hard climb.
Life without a mission is a tremendous ommission.
Blowing out another's candle will not make yours shine brighter.
Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
It is true that the heart seldom feels what the mouth expresses.
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
Opinions that are well rooted should grow and change like a healthy tree.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
If everyone is a unique individual isn't it not unique to be an individual?
Why do people long for eternal life when they don't even know what to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon?
If something was worth doing wouldn't it have been done already?
Isn't the hardest thing in life knowing which bridges to cross and which to burn?
Aren't the only losers in life, the ones who never tried in the beginning?
Is it possible that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others?
Don't you think that life is like a roll of toilet paper? After all, the closer it gets to the end, the more you appreciate it.
If quitters never win and winners never quit, who is the fool that said 'quit while you are ahead'?
Why is it that whenever you let the cat out of the bag you usually wind up in the dog house?
If practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect why practice?
How do you know if honesty is the best policy unless you've tried some of the others?
Why can't we put all our eggs into one basket? Isn't this just being more efficient?
If too many cooks spoil the soup then why are two heads better than one?
If the pen is mightier than the sword then how can actions speak louder than words?
If two wrongs don't make a right why is it that two negatives make a positive?
Have you ever stopped to think and forget to start again?
If you think your indecisive how can you be sure?
Is a conclusion simply the place where you got tired of thinking?
Why do people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices?
What would happen if you had two half baked ideas at the same time?
If great minds really think alike then what makes them so great?
Would you have to think twice before giving something a second thought?
Why is it that when you are trying to think of something you can't but when you don't want to think of something you can't get it out of your mind?
Why is it that the harder you try to think the more difficult it is?
Before Columbus' discovery, wasn't it common sense that led people to believe the world was flat?
And didn't they believe this, despite the Bible in Isaiah 40-22 stating that the Earth is a sphere?

A virile, young Italian gentleman was relaxing at his favorite bar in
Rome, when he managed to attract a spectacular young blonde. Things
progressed to the point where he invited her back to his apartment, and
after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom where he rattled her
senseless.
After a pleasant interlude, he asked with a smile, "So...you finish?"
She paused for a second, frowned, and replied, "No." Surprised, the
young man reached for her and the rattling resumed.
This time she thrashes about wildly and there are screams of passion.
The rooting ends, and again, the young man smiles, and again he asks,
"You finish?" And again, after a short pause, she returns his smile,
cuddles closer to him, and softly says, "No."
Stunned , but damned if this woman is going to outlast him, the young
man reaches for the woman yet again using the last of his strength, he
barely manages it, but they end together, screaming, bucking, clawing,
and ripping the bed sheets. The exhausted man falls onto his back,
gasping. Barely able to turn his head, he looks into her eyes, smiles
proudly, and asks again, "You finish?"
Barely able to speak, she whispers in his ear, "No, I Norwegian."
