After serious & cautious consideration.....
Your
contract of friendship
has been renewed for the new year 2006.
It was a very hard decision to make, so try not to screw it up!
A woman in a hot air balloon
realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat
below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend
I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air
balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above
sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 4909 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still
lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going.
You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made
a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your
problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but,
somehow, now it's my fault."
One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with the devil...
A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he asks
St. Peter, "I have a question that haunted me all of my days on earth...am I
a
white horse with black stripes, or a black horse with white stripes?"
St Peter said, "That's a question only God can answer."
So the zebra went off in search of God. When he found Him, the
zebra
asked, "God, please - I must know. Am I a white horse with black stripes or
a
black horse with white stripes?"
God simply replied "You are what you are."
The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him,
"Well,
did God straighten out your query for you?"
The zebra looked puzzled. "No sir, God simply said 'You are what
you
are.'"
St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then, that answers
it.
You are a white horse with black stripes"
The zebra asked St. Peter, "How do you know that?"
"Because," said St. Peter, "If you were a black horse with white
stripes, God would have said, "You is what you is."
Sometimes a name change is the best idea...
An Indiana farm wife called the local phone
company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called-and
that on the few occasions when it did ring, her pet dog always moaned right
before the phone rang.
The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic
dog or senile elderly lady.
He climbed a nearby telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the
subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog
moaned loudly and the telephone began to ring.
Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:
1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire via a steel chain
and collar.
2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.
3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling voltage when the phone number
was called.
4. After a couple of such jolts, the dog would start moaning and then
urinate on himself and the ground.
5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to
ring.
Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.
An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said, "Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know," said the lady. I need both my hands to hold onto this hat."

Summary of the rumor:
The story of a humpback whale that was wrapped in crab traps and lines near San Francisco, California. After working long and hard to cut the lines from her, she is said to have rejoiced and returned to "thank" each of the rescuers. |
|
The Truth: According
to the San Francisco Chronicle article from December 14, 2005,
this story is true.
The whale was spotted by crab fishermen wrapped in the nylon ropes that connect crab traps to each other. The traps are heavy and the whale was struggling to keep on the surface so it could breathe. Experts assessed the situation and concluded that the only chance the whale had is if rescuers would actually get into the water with her and cut her bonds one-by-one. That was risky because any thrashing on the part of the 50-ton animal could be deadly. One of the divers, James Moskito, said the whale was peaceful during the hour or so it took him and others to cut the ropes and there was a vibration coming from the whale the whole time. Moskito said that when the whale realized it was free it began swimming in circles. ""It felt to me like it was thanking us, knowing that it was free and that we had helped it," Moskito said., "It stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun." He said the whale nuzzled him, then swam to each of the other rescuers as well. ********************************************

The following "sound bites" were taken off actual police car videos around the country. There are some pretty funny policemen out there! I personally like the last one! Have a good snicker!
15). "Relax; the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."
14). "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."
13). "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."
12). "Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun."
11). "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"
10). "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh! ... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?
9). "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."
8). "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
7). "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey crap."
6). "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
5). "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."
4). "Just how big were those two beers?"
3). "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."
2). "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."
And the best one ...
1). "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."
At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the
meaning of the word "service." "It's the act of doing things
for other people."
Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:
Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City & County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations
Then I became confused about the word "service." This is not
what I thought "service" meant.
So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them
said he had hired a bull to "service" a few of his cows.
BAM!
It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all
those "service" agencies are doing to us.
I hope you now are as enlightened as I am.
WHY MEN DIE FIRST
This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries...but, now we know.
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race..... you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework...you're a pansy.
If you work too hard. there's never any time for her.
If you don't work enough...you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay...this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay.....you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her.....that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you......it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks......it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet.........it's male indifference.
If you cry............you're a wimp.
If you don't........you're an insensitive bastard.
If you make a decision without consulting her.........you're a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you......she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy....... that's domination.
If SHE asks you........it's a favor.
If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear......you're a pervert.
If you don't.............you're gay.
If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape..............you're a sexist.
If you don't................you're unromantic.
If you try to keep yourself in shape................you're vain.
If you don't...............you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers.............you're after something.
If you don't...................you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements........ you're full of yourself.
If you aren't...................you're not ambitious.
If she has a headache...........she's tired.
If you have a headache............you don't love her anymore.
If you want it too often.........you're oversexed.
If you don't..........there must be someone else.
Men die first because they want to.

nteresting Years
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description
of how the store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men
increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from
a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor,
but you
cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 -
These men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have
jobs and love kids.
The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have
jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 -
These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good
looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor
5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead
gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong
romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor
31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this
floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the
Husband Store.
*******************************************************
A
new wives store opened across the street. It also has
six floors.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

Our apologies if this Offends the Liberals
1.
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family
Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is
there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.
=======
2. "Somebody has said there are only
two kinds of people in the world.
There are those who wake up in
the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are
those who wake up in the morning and
say, "Good Lord, it's morning."
========
3. A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."
========
4. There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets.."
========
5. While driving in Pennsylvania, a
family caught up to an Amish carriage.
The owner of the carriage obviously
had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the
carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient
vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in
exhaust."
========
6. A Sunday School teacher began her
lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know
about God?"
A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the
kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. "You
know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
========
7. A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.
"The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."
========
8. People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

9. A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?" The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy." the young boy replied excitedly, "It
stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'"
========
10. Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered,
"Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."
========
11. The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.
Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner."
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to
Heaven.
He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself.
However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the
gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see
you.
We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that
the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering
an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but
you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter,
sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure
hope that the test ain't too
hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is
only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the
next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says,
"Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over,
tell me your answers."
Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in
the week begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is
easy. That would be Today and
Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest,
that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point,
and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for
that answer. How about the next
one?" asked St. Peter.
"How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder,"
replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I
guess the only answer can
be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in
Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a
year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve:
January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd.... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going
with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite
what I had in mind.....but I will have to give you credit
for that one, too. Let us go
on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's
first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to
my first two questions, but just how in the world did you
come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied.
"I learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS
WITH ME,
ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN. . "
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest,
run."
Hilary Clinton was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upper New York state. She spoke for almost an hour on her future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should she one day become the first female President.
Attending a wedding for the
first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is
the bride dressed in white?" "Because white is the color of
happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The
child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is
the groom wearing black?"
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday
best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be
late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord,
please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don! 't let
me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped
on a curb and
fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She
got up, brushed herself off, and started running again! in.
As she ran she onceagain began to pray, "Dear Lord, please
don't let me be late...But pleasedon't shove me either!"
Three boys are in the school yard
bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad
scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a
poem, they give him $50."
The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him
$100."
The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a
few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it
takes eight people to collect all the money!"
An elderly woman died last month.
Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In
her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she
wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't
want them to take me out when I'm dead.
A police recruit was asked during the
exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own
mother?" He answered "Call for backup."
A Sunday School teacher asked her
class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem.
A small child replied: "They couldn't get a babysitter."
At Sunday School they were teaching
how God created everything, including human beings. Little
Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve
was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his
mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she
said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded,
"I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
A young couple had just returned from their honeymoon and
was settling down in their new apartment.
Coming home from work one night, the landlady met the man in
the hallway.
She said, "I have a couple of extra tickets to a play in
town tonight, and
I wonder if you and your bride would like to have them?"
"I'll ask her," the young man responded. He opened his door
and called
out, "Honey, would you like to see 'Oliver Twist' tonight?"
"Hey, Pal," she retorted. "If you show me one more trick
with that thing,
I'm going home to my mother."
Lessons on Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to
learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each
on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was
a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring,
the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them
together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and
twisted.
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and
full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms
that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the
most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe
and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right,
because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's
life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by
only one season, and that the essence of who they are and
the pleasure, joy, and love that come
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the
seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise
of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of
your fall.
Moral lessons:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the
rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are
sure to come some time or later.
Hangovers
If you don't laugh, then you just can't relate. Guess you
had to have been there one time or another..........
One Star Hangover (*):
No pain. No real feeling of illness. You're able to function
relatively well; however, you are still parched. You can
drink 5 sodas and still feel this way. For some reason, you
are craving a steak & fries.
Two Star Hangover (**):
No pain, but something is definitely amiss. You may look
okay, but you have the mental capacity of a staple gun. The
coffee you are chugging is only increasing your rumbling
gut, which is still tossing around the fruit pancake from
the 3:00 AM Denny's excursion. There is
some definite havoc being wreaked upon your bowels.
Three Star Hangover(***):
Slight headache. Stomach feels crappy. You are definitely
not productive. Anytime a girl walks by you gag because her
perfume reminds you of the flavored schnapps shots your
alcoholic friends dared you to drink. Life would be better
right now if you were home in your bed watching Lucy reruns.
You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 3 iced teas
and a diet Coke. --- yet you haven't peed once.
Four Star Hangover (****):
Life sucks. Your head is throbbing. You can't speak too
quickly or else you might puke. Your boss has already
lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for
reeking of booze. Your eyes look like one big red vein, and
even your hair hurts. Your sphincter is in perpetual spasm,
and the first of about five shits you take during the day
brings water to the eyes of everyone who enters the
bathroom.
Five Star Hangover (*****):
You have a second heartbeat in your head, which is actually
annoying the employee who sits in the next cube. Vodka vapor
is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy. In fact,
you are still a little drunk. You still have toothpaste
crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth
in an attempt to get the remnants of the poop fairy out.
Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva so your
tongue is suffocating you. You don't have the foggiest idea
who the hell was passed out in your bed this morning. Any
attempt
to defecate results in a fire hose like discharge of
alcohol-scented fluid with a rare 'floater' thrown in. The
sole purpose of this 'floater' seems to be to splash the
toilet water all over your ass. Death sounds pretty good
about right now!

Oh, I just couldn't. No one wants to hear me sing
A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the
class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and
not paying attention.
She went back to find out what was going on. He was
quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just
recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy.
The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was to
telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about
it.
He did it and returned to his class.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room.
She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at
his desk with his penis hanging out. "I thought I told
you to call your mom!" she said. "I did," he said, "And
she told me that if I could stick it out till noon,
she'd come and pick me up from school
