Alabama : Seems this guy wanted
some beer pretty badly. He
decided that he’d just throw a
cinder block through a liquor
store window, grab some booze,
and run.
So he lifted the cinder block
and heaved it over his head at
the window. The cinder block
bounced back knocking him
unconscious. It seems the liquor
store window was made of PlexiGlass.The
whole event
was caught
on videotape.
Still think YOU’RE having a bad day?
Did you hear about the two blondes
who almost froze to death in a drive-in
movie? They had gone to see
“Closed for the Winter.”
Early this year,
some Boeing
employees on
the airfield
decided to steal
a life raft from one of the
747s. They were successful
in getting it out of the plane
and home. Shortly after they
took it for a float on the river,
they noticed a Coast Guard
helicopter coming toward
them. It turned out that the
chopper was homing in on
the emergency locater beacon
that activated when the raft
was inflated. They are no
longer employed at Boeing.

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit
asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”
The crow answered: “Sure, why not.”
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
“Last week the candle
factory burned down.
Everyone just stood
around and sang,
‘Happy Birthday’”
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be
sitting very high up.
– Steven Wright
A blonde’s car breaks down on the Interstate one day. So she eases
it over onto the shoulder of the road. She carefully steps out of the
car and opens the trunk. Out jump two men wearing nothing but
trench coats who walk to the rear of the vehicle where they stand
facing oncoming traffic and begin opening their coats and exposing
themselves to approaching drivers...
Not surprisingly, one of the worst pileups in history of this highway
occurs.
It’s not very long before a police car shows up.
The cop, clearly enraged, runs toward the blonde of the disabled
vehicle yelling, “What’s going on here?!?”
“My car broke down,” says the lady, calmly.
“Well, what are these perverts doing here by the road?!” asks the
cop...
And she says....
“Those are my emergency flashers!”
The famous Olympic skier
Picabo Street (pronounced
Peek-A-Boo) is not just an
athlete. She is now a nurse
currently working at the
Intensive Care Unit of a large
metropolitan hospital.
She is not permitted
to answer the hospital
telephones. It caused too
much confusion when she
would answer the phone and
say,
“Picabo, ICU.”

EVENTS
A Jewish businessman was
in a great deal of trouble. His
business was failing, he had
put everything he had into the
business, he owed everybody
it was so bad he was even
contemplating suicide. As a
last resort he went to a Rabbi
and poured out his story of
tears and woe.
When he had finished, the
Rabbi said, “Here’s what I
want you to do: Put a beach
chair and your Bible in your
car and drive down to the
beach. Take the beach chair
and the Bible to the water’s
edge, sit down in the beach
chair, and put the Bible in your
lap.
Open the Bible; the wind will
rifle the pages, but finally the
open Bible will come to rest
on a page. Look down at the
page and read the first thing
you see. That will be your
answer, that will tell you what
to do.”
A year later the businessman
went back to the Rabbi and
brought his wife and children
with him. The man was
in a new custom- tailored
suit, his wife in a mink coat,
the children shining. The
businessman pulled an
envelope stuffed with money
out of his pocket, gave it to the
Rabbi as a donation in thanks
for his advice.
The Rabbi recognized the
benefactor, and was curious.
“You did as I suggested?” he
asked.
“Absolutely,” replied the
businessman.
“You went to the beach?”

Trouble
The population of this
country is 300 million.
160 million are retired.
That leaves 140 million to do
the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 55 million to do
the work.
Of this there are 35 million
employed by the federal
government.
Leaving 15 million to do the
work.
2.8 million are in the armed
forces preoccupied with
finding Osama Bin-Laden.
Which leaves 12.2 million to
do the work.
Take from that total the 10.8
million people who work for
state and city
Governments. And that
leaves 1.4 million to do the
work.
At any given time there are
188,000 people in hospitals.
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the
work.
Now, there are 1,211,998
people in prisons.
That leaves just two people
to do the work.
You and me.
And there you are,
Sitting on your butt, reading
jokes.
Nice. Real nice.....

Never having seen anyone from
Detroit at Heaven’s Door,
Saint Peter said he would have to
check with God.
After hearing the news, God
instructed him to admit the ten
most virtuous people from the
group.
A few minutes later, St. Peter
returned to God, breathless, and
said, “They’re gone!”
‘What? All of the Detroiters are
gone?’ asked God.
‘ No!’ replied Saint Peter. ‘The
Pearly Gates!’

An Amazing Story
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after
graduating from Northwestern University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young
bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The
elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very
carefully.
He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant’s
foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded
in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked
the wood out with his huntin g knife, after which the
elephant gingerly put down its foo t. The elephant turned
to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its
face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter
stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and
walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the
events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the
Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached
the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron
were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter,
lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The
elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all
the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn’t
help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter
summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and
made his way into the enclosure. He walked right u p to
the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant
trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter
legs and slammed his stupid ass against the railing, killing
him instantly.
Probably wasn’t the same elephant.
Thought this was going to be one of those heartwarming stories, didn’t you?
Saint Peter was manning the
Pearly Gates when forty people
from Detroit showed up.

died.
After he works on it for a few
minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, ‘What’s the story?’
He replies, ‘Just crap in the

She asks, ‘How often do I have to do
that?’
A Handy Tip
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won‘t have to
pick the little “stringy things” off of it. That‘s how the
primates do it.
Also...Take your bananas apart when you get home
from the store. If you leave them connected at the
stem, they ripen faster.

How It All
Works
Three contractors are
bidding to fix a broken
fence at the White House in
D.C. One from New Jersey,
another from Tennessee and
the third, Florida.
They go with a White
House official to examine
the fence.
The Florida contractor takes
out a tape measure and
does some measuring, then
works some figures with a
pencil. “Well,” he says, “I
figure the job will run about
$900: $400 for materials,
$400 for my crew and $100
profit for me.”
The Tennessee contractor
also does some measuring
and figuring, then says, “I
can do this job for $700:
$300 for materials, $300
for my crew and $100 profit
for me.”
The New Jersey contractor
doesn’t measure or figure,
but leans over to the White
House official and whispers,
“$2,700.”
The official, incredulous,
says, “You didn’t even
measure like the other guys!
How did you come up with
such a high figure?”
The New Jersey contractor
whispers back, “$1000 for
me, $1000 for you, and we
hire the guy from Tennessee
to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the
government official.
And that friends, is how it
all works.

It is said that the ability to make and understand PUNS is the
highest level of language development. Here are the top 10
winners in the International Pun Contest.
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.
The Stewardess looks at him and says, ‘I’m sorry, sir, only one
carrion allowed per passenger.
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the
other and says, ‘Dam!’
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in
the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you
can’t have your kayak and heat it, too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, ‘I’ve lost my electron.’
The other says, ‘Are you sure?’ The first replies, ‘Yes, I’m
positive.’
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain
during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and
were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament
victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the
office and asked them to disperse. But why they asked, as
they moved off. ‘Because,’ he said, ‘I can’t stand chess-nuts
boasting in an open foyer.’
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One
of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named Ahmal. The
other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him Juan. Years
later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon
receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she
also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, ‘They’re
twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.’
8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so
they opened 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 very 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 friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns
would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

But just as the taxi arrives and
they step out of the house,
the dog darts back inside and
won’t come out.
They don’t want to leave the
dog inside, so the husband
goes upstairs to find it, while
the wife goes to wait in the
taxi.
Not wanting it known that
the house will be empty, she
explains to the driver that her
husband had just gone “to say
good-bye to my mother.”
A few minutes later, the
husband gets into the cab.
“Sorry I took so long,” he
says. “Stupid bitch was hiding
under the bed and I had to
poke her with a coat-hanger
to get her to come out! Then
I had to wrap her in a blanket
to keep her from scratching
and biting me as I hauled her
downstairs and tossed her in
the backyard! She’d better not
crap in the vegetable garden
again!”
The silence in the cab was
deafening.

This girl I know lives on the 4th floor of an apartment, and even
though it is a fairly good neighborhood, she has been having
trouble with a Peeping Tom that lives next door...
Every time she goes out on her balcony to catch a bit of sun
while wearing her bikini, this Peeping Tom looks over from his
balcony as soon as she removes her top, and stares at her...
She has complained to the superintendent about this Peeping
Tom, but he says she must have positive proof before he can do
a thing –
She FINALLY got a picture of him while he was staring at her...

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall.
He approached a uniformed policeman and said, “I’ve
lost my grandpa!”
“The cop asked, “What’s he like?”
The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied,
“Crown Royal whiskey and women with big boobs.”
“It has been said that
politics is the second
oldest profession. I
have learned that
it bears a striking
resemblance to the
first.”
“I bought a dog the

him Stay. It’s fun to
call him. ‘Come here,
Stay! Come here,
Stay!’
He went insane.”

A strong young man at a construction site was bragging that he
could out do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case
of making fun of one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, the older worker had enough. ‘Why don’t
you put your money where your mouth is,’ he said. ‘I will bet a
week’s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to
that building that you won’t be able to wheel back.
‘You’re on, old man,’ the braggart replied. Let’s see you do it.’
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the
handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, “ok dummy,
get in!!”

After President Truman retired from office in 1952, he was left
with an income consisting of basically just a U.S.Army pension,
reported to have been only $13,507.72 a year.
Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and
personally licking them, granted him an “allowance” and, later,
a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he
declined, stating, “You don’t want me. You want the office of
the president, and that doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the
American people and it’s not for sale.”
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to
award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused
to accept it, writing, “I don’t consider that I have done anything
which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or
otherwise.”
We now see that other past presidents, have found a new level
of success in cashing in on the presidency, resulting in untold
wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to
become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices.
Obviously, political offices are now for sale.
Good old Harry Truman could have been correct when he
observed, “My choice early in life was either to be a piano
player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth,
there’s hardly any difference. I, for one, believe the piano
player job to be much more honorable than current politicians.”
After having dug to a depth
of 10 feet last year, New York
archaeologist & scientists found
traces of copper wire dating
back 100 years and came to the
conclusion, that their New York
ancestors already had a telephone
network more than 100 years
ago.
Not to be outdone by the
New Yorkers, in the weeks
that followed, in California an
archaeologist & scientists dug to a
depth of 20 feet, and shortly after,
headlines in the LA Times
newspaper read:
California archaeologists have
found traces of 200 year old
copper wire dating back 200 years
and came to the conclusion,
that their California ancestors
already had an advanced hightech communications network a
hundred years earlier than the
New Yorkers.
One week later, The Daily
Oklahoman, a local newspaper in
Oklahoma, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 feet
in his pasture near Turner Falls
Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist
& scientist, reported that he
found absolutely nothing. Bubba
has therefore concluded that 300
years ago, Oklahoma had already
gone wireless.

Do you really know how to forward emails?
10% do ... 90% don’t.
Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk
mail? Do you hate it? Every time you forward
an email there is information left over from the
people who got the message before you, namely their email
addresses and names. As the messages get forwarded along,
the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all
it takes is for some poor person to get a virus, and his or her
computer can send that virus to every email address that has
come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those
addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes
that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each
hit. That’s right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel!
How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps:
Try the following if you haven’t done it before:
(1) Never forward an email, Copy the contents you wish to
send and paste them into a new email.
(2) Whenever you send an email to more than one person,
do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for adding email addresses.
Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) field for listing ALL
the email addresses. This is the way the people you send to
will only see their own email address. If you don’t see your
BCC: option click on where it says To: and your address list
will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that’s
it, it’s that easy. When you send to BCC: your message will
automatically say ‘Undisclosed Recipients in the ‘TO:’ field of
the people who receive it.
(3) Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states
a position and asks you to add your name and address and to
forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The
email can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of
names and email addresses. A FACT: The completed petition
is actually worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer
because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses
contained therein. DO NOT put your email address on any
petition. If you want to support the petition, send it as your
own personal letter to the intended recipient. Your position
may carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list
of names and email addresses on a petition. (And don’t believe
the ones that say that the e mail is being traced; it just ain’t so!
FACT: Most e-mail petitions are worthless because they do not
fully identify the signer by street address, etc. nor does it prove
that the signer really signed it. Don’t forward them.
Redhead at
the Doctor’s
OffIce
A gorgeous young
redhead goes into the
doctor’s office and
said that her body hurt
wherever she touched it.
‘Impossible!’ says the
doctor. ‘Show me.’
The redhead took her
finger, pushed on her left
shoulder and screamed,
then she pushed her
elbow and screamed
even more. She pushed
her knee and screamed;
likewise she pushed her
ankle and screamed.
Everywhere she touched
made her scream.
The doctor said, ‘You’re
not really a redhead, are
you?
‘Well, no’ she said, ‘I’m
actually a blond.’
‘I thought so,’ the
doctor said. ‘Your finger
is broken’

List of Things to Remember in
Order to Be a “Good Dog”
1. I will not eat the cats’ food before they eat it or after
they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just
because I like the way they smell.
You’ll feel smarter after you
read these celebrity gems...
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
‘Whenever I watch TV and
see those poor starving kids
all over the world, I can’t help
but cry. I mean I’d love to be
skinny like that, but not with
all those flies and death and
stuff.’
--Mariah Carey
‘Smoking kills. If you’re killed,
you’ve lost a very important
part of your life,’
-- Brooke Shields, during
an interview to become
spokesperson for federal
anti-smoking campaign
‘Half this game is ninety
percent mental.’
--Philadelphia Phillies

3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
Question: If you could live
forever, would you and why?
Answer: ‘I would not live
forever, because we should
not live forever, because if we
were supposed to live forever,
then we would live forever, but
we cannot live forever, which
is why I would not live forever,’

4. The sofa is not a ‘face towel’.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad’s underwear when
he’s on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone’s crotch is an
unacceptable way of saying ‘hello’.
8. I don’t need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m
under the coffee table.
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before
entering the house - not after.
10. I will not come in from outside
and immediately drag my butt.
11. The cat is not a ‘squeaky toy’
so when I play with him and he
makes that noise, it’s usually not a
good thing.

A female CNN journalist heard
about a very old Jewish man
who had been going to the
Western Wall to pray, twice a
day, every day, for a long, long
time.
So she went to check it out.
She went to the Western Wall
and there he was, walking
slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and
after about 45 minutes, when
he turned to leave, using a
cane and moving very slowly,
she approached him for an
interview.
‘Pardon me, sir, I’m Rebecca
Smith from CNN. What’s your
name?
‘Morris Fishbien,’ he replied.

‘Sir, how long have you been
coming to the Western Wall
and praying?’
‘For about 60 years.’
‘60 years! That’s amazing!
What do you pray for?’
‘I pray for peace between the
Christians, Jews and the
Muslims. I pray for all the wars
and all the hatred to stop.
I pray for all our children to
grow up safely as responsible
adults, and to love their fellow
man.’
‘How do you feel after doing
this for 60 years?’
‘Like I’m talking to a %#@*ing
wall.’

A baby moose was in distress in a creek. A
man got him out of the creek; tried to find the
mother & send him on his way, but eventually
the moose stumbled back into the creek &
was rescued again. The baby moose followed
the man home.
The man has only a small cabin so he took the
moose to another neighbour, who took these
photos. They took the moose the next day to
a woman who looks after wild animals & she
put it in a pen with a rescued fawn.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs
downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob,
the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob
says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel
and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds,
Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps
back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who
was that?”
“It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies.
“Great!” the husband says, “did he say anything about
the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story: If you share critical information
pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in
time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure.

Two Kentucky

running a chain
from the machine
to the bumper of

Instead of pulling
the front panel
off the machine,
though, they pulled
the bumper off the

They panicked and

‘No,’ exclaims the blonde, ‘I

Ask a
Stupid
Question...
Yesterday I was at my local
Wal-Mart buying a large
bag of Purina dog chow and
was in the checkout line
when a woman behind me
asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had,
an elephant?
So since I’m retired and
have little to do, on impulse
I told her that no, I didn’t
have a dog, I was starting
the Purina Diet again.
I added that I probably
shouldn’t, because I ended
up in the hospital last time,
but that I’d lost 50 pounds
before I awakened in an
intensive care ward with
tubes coming out of most of
my orifices and IVs in both
arms.
I told her that it was
essentially a perfect diet
and that the way that
it works is to load your
pants pockets with Purina
nuggets and simply
eat one or two every time
you feel hungry. The food
is nutritionally complete
so it works well and I was
going to try it again. (I
have to mention here that
practically everyone in line
was now enthralled with my
story.)
Horrified, she asked if
I ended up in intensive
care because the dog food
poisoned me.
I told her no, I stepped off a
curb to sniff an Irish Setter’s
butt and a car hit us both.
Better watch what you ask
retired people. They have
all the time in the world to
think of crazy things to say.
ALERT: Dangers of Key-Chain Remotes
There is a device that robbers are using now to clone your
security code when you lock your doors on your car using
your key-chain locking device..
They set a distance away and watch for their next
victim. Since they know you are going inside of the store,
restaurant, or bathroom and have a few minutes to steal
and run.
Be sure to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock
button inside the car, that way if there is someone setting
in a parking lot watching for their next victim it will not be
you.
When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting...
it does not send the security code, but if you walk away
and use the door lock on your key chain- it sends the
code thru the airwaves where it can be stolen.
If there’s a law against showing boobs
on TV, then what’s with all these political
campaign ads?
Do you realize in about 40 years, we’ll have
thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos
and that rap music will be the “Golden Oldies?”
That’s scary.

“Dear Tidy-Kleen Laundry Soap Company,
I am writing to say what an excellent product you have!
I’ve used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the
best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month
ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and
uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, the way he
has for most of our marriage. Well, one thing led to another and somehow I
ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of TidyKleen with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the
stains came out!
In fact, the stains came out so well, the detectives who came by yesterday
told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were inconclusive. Then my attorney
called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance
of my husband.
What a relief! Going through menopause is bad
enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you,
once again, for having a great product.
Well, gotta go now. Have to write to the Heft-It
trash bag people.”

in a tub of water. She called out, ‘Billy,

’Come talk to me three times

to get rid of those fears.’‘How
much do you charge?’
‘Eighty dollars per visit, replied
the doctor.’
’I’ll sleep on it,’ said Bubba.
Six months later the doctor
met Bubba on the street.
’Why didn’t you ever come
to see me about those fears
you were having?’ asked the

The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect
the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a
potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children’s tears, and on
occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears .
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying
eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be
finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding
places for shy kids.
And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it
around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent
over the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in
that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the
peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had
fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was
surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in
a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the
porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to
come in from the fields to dinner
It will be a long time before
someone invents something
that will replace that “old-time
apron” that served so many
purposes.

In the year 2008, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and
said:
“Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all
flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good
humans.”
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: “You have six months to build the Ark before I will
start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.”
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.

A lawyer runs a stop sign & gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy.
He thinks he’s smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer
from New York & is certain he has a better education then any cop
from Houston, TX. He decides to prove this to himself & have some
fun at the Texas deputy’s expense.
The deputy says,”License & registration, please.”
“What for?” says the lawyer. The deputy says, “You didn’t come to
a complete stop at the stop sign.” The lawyer says, “I slowed down,
no one was coming.”
“You still didn’t come to a complete stop,” says the deputy. “License
& registration, please.”
The lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”
“The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that’s the
law. License & registration, please!” the Deputy says.
Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between
slow down & stop, I’ll give you my license & registration; & you give
me the ticket. If not, you let me go & don’t give me the ticket.”
“That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,” the deputy says.
At this point, the deputy takes off his cap and starts smacking the
daylights out of the lawyer with it and says, “Do you want me to
stop, or just slow down?”

“Noah!” He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?”
“Forgive me, Lord,” begged Noah, “but things have changed.
I needed a building permit.
I’ve been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system.
My neighbors claim that I’ve violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in
my yard and exceeding the height limitations.
We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.
Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs
of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark
‘s move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear
nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save
the spotted owl.
I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls.
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.
They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane
to put so many animals in a confined space.
Then the EPA ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental
impact study on your proposed flood.
I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many
minorities I’m supposed to hire for my building crew.
Immigration and Naturalization are checking the green-card status of most of the people
who want to work.
The trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers
with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the
country illegally with endangered species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.”
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine,
and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, “You mean
you’re not going to destroy the world?”
“No,” said the Lord.
“The government beat me to it.”

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a
couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or
heavy cream in and then beat them up.

tape is silver.
A man walks into a
bar and orders one
shot. Then he looks
into his shirt pocket
and orders another
shot. After he finishes,
he looks into his shirt
pocket again and
orders another shot.
The bartender is
curious and askes
him “every time you
order a shot, you look
in your shirt pocket.
Why?”
The man replies, “I
have a picture of my
wife in my pocket and
when she starts to
look good, I go home.”

A week later he returns.
His wife asks, “Did you
have a good trip?”
“Oh yes, great! But you
forgot to pack my blue
silk pajamas.”
“Oh no I didn’t. I put
them in your tackle box.”
A man absolutely hated his wife’s cat and decided to get
rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and
leaving him at the park.
As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the
driveway.
The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away.
He put the beast out and headed home.
Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat!
He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat
would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few
miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right
again and another right until he reached what he thought was
a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.
Hours later the man calls home to his wife: “Jen, is the
cat there?”
”Yes”, the wife answers, “why do you ask?”
Frustrated, the man answered, “Put that darned CAT on
the phone, I’m lost and need directions!”

Junior had just received his brand new drivers license.
To celebrate, the whole family trooped out to the
driveway and climbed into the car for his inaugural
drive. Dad immediately headed to the back seat,
directly behind the newly minted driver.
“Nope,” came dad’s reply, “I’m gonna sit back here and
kick the back of your seat while you drive, just like you
have been doing to me for sixteen years.”

For the first time in
many years, an old
man traveled from his
rural town to the city
to attend a movie.
After buying his ticket,
he stopped at the
concession stand
to purchase some
popcorn.
Handing the attendant
$1.50, he couldn’t help
but comment, “The
last time I came to the
movies, popcorn was
only 15 cents.”
“Well, sir,” the
attendant replied with
a grin, “You’re really
going to enjoy yourself.
We have sound now..”
What you need:
1 cup whole grain cereal (squares or
Os work best)
¼ cup dried fruit of your choice
¼ cup nuts, such as walnut pieces,
slivered almonds, or pistachios
¼ cup small, whole-grain snack
crackers or pretzels
Equipment and supplies:
Large bowl
Measuring cups
Large spoon
What to do:
1. Measure out ingredients.
2. Combine in large bowl.
3. Chow down!
Little Johnny’s kindergarten class was on a field trip
to their local police station where they saw pictures,
tacked to a bulletin board, of the 10 most wanted
criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture
and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted
person. “Yes,” said the policeman. “The detectives
want very badly to capture him.” Little Johnny
asked, “Why didn’t you keep him when you took his
picture?”

Three women and three men are
traveling by train to the football
game.
At the station, the three men
each buy a ticket and watch as
the three Women buy just one
ticket.
‘How are the three of you going
to travel on only one ticket?’ asks
one of the men.
‘Watch and learn,’ answers one
of the women.

“May the forces of evil become confused on the
way to your house.”
Shortly after the train has
departed, the conductor comes
around collecting tickets. He
knocks on the toilet door and
says, ‘Ticket, please.’
The door opens just a crack,
and a single arm emerges with a
ticket in hand.
– George Carlin
Always Remember This:
You don’t stop laughing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop laughing!
The conductor takes it and moves
on.
The men see this happen and
agree it was quite a clever idea;
so, after the Game, they decide
to do the same thing on the
return trip and save some Money.
When they get to the station
they buy a single ticket for the
return trip but See, to their
astonishment, that the three
women don’t buy any ticket at
all!
‘How are you going to travel
without a ticket?’ asks one
perplexed man.
‘Watch and learn,’ answer the
women.
When they board the train, the
three men cram themselves into
a toilet, and The three women
cram into a toilet just down the
way.
Shortly after the train is on its
way, one of the women leaves
her toilet and Walks over to the
toilet in which the men are
hiding.

“I asked the girl if she could bring a sister for me.
She did. Sister Maria Teresa. It was a very slow
evening. We discussed the New Testament. We
agreed that He was very well adjusted for an only

Abby was at a loss to answer the following. It’s scary to
think these people can vote.
“Dear Abby, I’ve suspected that my husband has been fooling
around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied
everything and said it would never happen again.”
“Dear Abby, Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a
boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his
own?”
“Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world. I’ve seen it. Now
how do I get out?”
“Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been paying a
psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half
years. He must be crazy.”
“Dear Abby, I was married to Bill for three months and I didn’t
know he drank until one night he came home sober.”
“Give a man a fish and
he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat
and drink beer all day.”
She knocks on their Door and
says, ‘Ticket please.’

On the first day of college, the dean addressed
the students, pointing out some of the rules:
“The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds
for all male students, and the male dormitory to
the female students. Anybody caught breaking
this rule will be fined $20 the first time. Anybody
caught breaking this rule the second time will be
fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you
$180. Are there any questions?”
“How much for a season pass?”
Fred got home from his Sunday round
of golf later than normal and very
tired. “Bad day at the course?” his
wife asked.
“Everything was going fine,” he said.
“Then Harry had a heart attack and
died on the 10th tee.”
“Oh, that’s awful!”
“You’re not kidding. For the whole back
nine it was
hit the ball,
drag Harry, hit
the ball, drag
Harry.”

The Good Life - SEPTEMBER 2008
The Moral of the Story
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned
by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The
monarch could have killed him but was moved by
Arthur’s youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered
him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very
difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure
out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no
answer, he would be put to death.
The question?...What do women really want?
Such a question would perplex even the most
knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed
an impossible query. But, since it was better than
death, he accepted the monarch’s proposition and
gave his word to return with an answer by year’s
end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll
everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men
and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone,
but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch,
for only she would have the answer. But the price
would be high; as the witch was famous throughout
the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no
choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer
the question, but he would have to agree to her
price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most
noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur’s
closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked
and hideous, had only one tooth, one eye, smelled
like sewage, made obscene noises, and an
annoying voice. He had never encountered such a
repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and
endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning
of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared
to Arthur’s life and the preservation of the Round
Table.
4262 River Road
Oscoda, MI 48750
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch
answered Arthur’s question thus: What a woman
really wants, she answered...is to be in charge of
her own life.
(989) 739-4382
Fax: (989) 739-3849
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the
witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur’s life
would surely be spared.
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm
Sat 8am-Noon
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot,
steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the
bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him! The most
beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on
the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had
happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind
to her when she appeared as a witch, she would
henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half
the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....
or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day,
a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at
night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or,
would he prefer having a hideous witch during the
day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy
wondrous intimate moments?

out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person
who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the
woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a
week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from
assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity
to take that walk.
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to
make the choice herself.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer
patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would
be beautiful all the time because he had respected
her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all
about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those
who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
Simple...
If you don’t let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness,
ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be
worse. You could be one of them!

A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the
absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.
“Maybe all I need is some fresh air,” thought the man as he
crawled outside.
He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.
“Screw it,” he thought. “I’ll just crawl home.”
The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep
asleep.
“You went out drinking last night, didn’t you?” she said.
“Uh, yes,” he said sheepishly. “How did you know?”
“You left your wheelchair at the bar again.”

My ex-wife started taking flying lessons
about the time our divorce started and
she got her license shortly before our
divorce was final, later that same year.
Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly
escaped injury in the aircraft she was
piloting when she was forced to make
an emergency landing in Western Iowa
because of bad weather. Thank God
our kids were with me at the cabin this
weekend.
The NTSB issued a preliminary report,
citing pilot error: She was flying a single
engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight
rating) conditions while only having
obtained a VFR (visual flight rating)
rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was
likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below was taken at the
scene and shows the extent of damage
to her aircraft.
She was very lucky.

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World
Trade Center It is the fifth in a new class of warship
- designed for missions that include special operations
against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and
700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by
helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted
down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship’s bow
section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9,
2003, ‘those big rough steelworkers treated it with total
reverence,’ recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who
was there. ‘It was a spiritual moment for everybody
there.’
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that
when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it
with his hand and the ‘hair on my neck stood up.’ ‘It had
a big meaning to it for all of us,’ he said. ‘They knocked
us down. They can’t keep us down. We’re going to be
back.’
The ship’s motto? ‘Never Forget’

“Boy, those French, they have a
different word for everything!”
– Steve Martin
A good samaritan was walking home late one night
when he came upon this drunk on the sidewalk.
Wanting to help, he asked the drunk, “Do you live
here?” “Yep.” “Would you like me to help you
upstairs?” “Yep.” When they got up on the second
floor, the good person asked “Is this your floor?”
“Yep.”
Then the good samaritan got to thinking that maybe
he didn’t want to face the man’s irate and tired
wife because she may think he was the one who
got the man drunk. So, he opened the first door he
came to and shoved him through it then went back
downstairs. However, when he went back outside,
there was another drunk. So he asked that drunk
“Do you live here?” “Yep.” “Would you like me to
help you upstairs?” “Yep.” So he did and put him in
the same door with the first drunk. Then went back
downstairs.
Where, to his surprise, there was another drunk. So
he started over to him. But before he got to him,
the drunk staggered over to a policeman and cried,
“Please officer, protect me from this man. He’s been
doing nothing all night long but taking me upstairs
and throwing me down the elevator shaft!”

A Handy Tip
Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a
delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the
food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples.
Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the
chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350
for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice
cream. Yummm!
