And the white man has short names like Tom, Bob, or Sam?" The chief answered, "The reason my son is this: Indians name their young after the events that take place in their lives. For instance, your sister is named Shinning Moon Over The Lake. On the evening she was born the fall moon was full and shimmering over the lake. And your brother is named White Horse On The Plain. When he was born a majestic white stallion was galloping across the plains. So son, you see that is why we Indians have such long names. Now, do you have any other questions, Broken Condom Made In China?" -<>- , \. /J ..---.. .-```-. L`\ \-.__.-` L .-`` ``-. / \ | \ \ J .` _. `.

PetShop '.| 0=========================================================0 A pretty lonely guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he decided on a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house. He took the centipede home, found a good location for the box home, and then decided he would start off by taking his new pet to a restaurant to have dinner. So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to McDonald's with me to have dinner?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to McDonald's with me?" But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to McDonald's with me to have dinner?" A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes!!" -<>- >REMEMBER: SENIOR CITIZENS ARE VALUABLE We have silver in our hair. We have gold in our teeth. We have stones in our kidneys. We have lead in our feet and...

"How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a $50.00 bottle. "That's a bit much," said John, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. "That's still quite a bit," John complained. Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle. "What I mean," said John, "is I'd like to see something really cheap." The clerk handed him a mirror. -------- My 8-yr-old granddaughter and I were talking about her new boyfriend at school. She told me his name and I asked if he was cute, she said yes. I asked what color his hair was and she said blonde. I asked about his eye color and she said blue. I asked, "Nice dresser?" She replied, "I don't know grandma, I've never been in his room." ------- My friend likes to read his two young sons fairy tales at night. Having a deep-rooted sense of humor, he often ad-libs parts of the stories for fun. One day his youngest son was sitting in his first grade class as the teacher was reading the story of the 'Three Little Pigs.' She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to acquire building materials for his home. She said, "And so the pig went up to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said 'Pardon me sir, but might I have some of that straw to build my house with?'" The teacher then asks the class, "And what do you think that man said?" My friend's son raised his hand and exclaimed, "I know! I know! -- 'Holy smokes! A talking pig!'" Apparently the teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes. -------- Three very macho mice are standing around trying to outdo each other. The first mouse says, "You know those little pellets they put out around the house trying to poison us? I love those things. I eat 'em like candy." The second mouse, not to be outdone says, "Oh yeah? Well, you know those mousetraps they put out to try to catch us? What I do is get on the trap, grab the cheese, and then flip over onto my back, and when the steel bar comes swinging down I grab it and do bench presses with it." The third mouse says, "You guys are really a couple of tough mice, and I'd love to keep hanging out with you here, but I gotta go pester the cat." ------- It was young Anthony's first ride in a railway train, and the succession of wonders reduced him to a state of hysterical astonishment. The train rounded a slight bend and, with a shriek of its whistle, plunged into a tunnel. There were gasps of surprise from the corner where Anthony was kneeling. Suddenly the train rushed into broad daylight again, and a small voice lifted in wonder. "It's tomorrow!" exclaimed the small boy. ------- A teacher asked one of her pupils, "What's the nation's capital?" The reply was, "Washington DC" On being asked what the "DC" stood for, the pupil added, "Dot com!" ------- A definition of inflation: What used to cost five dollars to buy now costs ten dollars to repair. ------- A man asked his friend if he could keep a secret. "What is your secret?" his friend asked. "I need to borrow some money," he replied. "Don't worry, my friend," his friend replied. "It's as if I had never heard it." -------- While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," I told her. "Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you tie my shoe?" ------- A man got really drunk one night in his local bar. The bartender refused to serve him any more alcohol and told him he should be heading home. The man thought this was a good idea so he stood up to leave but fell over straight away. He tried to stand up again but only fell over again. He thought if only he could get outside and get some fresh air he'd be fine. So he crawled outside then tried to stand up and fell over again. In the end after falling over lots more, he decided to crawl home. When he got back to his house he pulled himself up using the door handle but as soon as he let go he fell over again. He had to crawl up the stairs and managed to fall over onto the bed and fell asleep. When he finally woke up the next morning his wife asked him why he was drinking all night at the bar. He denied it but she said, "I know you were there..." he maintained his innocence until "...the bartender called to say you forgot your wheelchair again...." ------- A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said.. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, The young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this." The husband said, "I got up early this morning and Cleaned our windows." And so it is with life. What we see when watching others Depends on the purity of the window through which we look. -------- My daughter's family, like a lot of busy families, eats out often. When I was visiting them, I decided to make a special, home-cooked dinner and asked my five-year-old grandson, "What's your favorite thing to have for supper, Everett?" "At what restaurant, Grandma?" he asked. -------- A Mom was helping her son review his math while her daughter was in the kitchen. "You have seven dollars and seven friends," she said. "You give a dollar to two of them but none to the others. What do you have left?" From the kitchen her daughter called, "Two friends." --- ...No Doubt! LOL!

Cory Booker introduced 120 bills. 0 passed. Kamala Harris introduced 54 bills. 0 passed. Bernie Sanders is truly special. He never held a job until he was finally elected mayor at age 53. He lived off of welfare and four different women had a child out-of-wedlock with one and the three marriages did not work out. In all his years in the Senate, he introduced 364 bills. 3 passed. Two of those were to name post offices. The Viet Nam war was escalating, and when the next draft was announced, Bernie applied for a conscientious objector deferment. His deferment was denied, so he dodged the draft by having a kid out of wedlock in 1969 with his new girlfriend, Susan Mott, even though he STILL wasn’t working, and had no way to support the child. By the time his draft number came up, he was too old to be drafted anyway. He continued to subsist on odd carpentry jobs and unemployment checks, and occasionally selling $15 articles, including the one about how women fantasize about gang rape. He still refused to get a steady job to support his child. His girlfriend left him. In 1988 Bernie married Jane Driscoll and took a cold-war era honeymoon in communist USSR. His new wife supported Bernie financially through his many attempts to win a public office and shared his radical leftist political views. They visited the pro-Soviet Sandinista government of Nicaragua known for their human rights violations, support for anti-American terrorists, and the imprisonment and exile of opponents. Bernie blindly overlooked the carnage to stand with fellow socialists. They traveled to Cuba in hopes of meeting Bernie’s hero Fidel Castro, but access to him was denied. He’s a draft-dodging deadbeat dad, a globe-trotting communist dilettante, and a petulant detractor of hard-working honorable Democrats. His one skill is yelling about how unfair the world is, and how everything SHOULD be. But he has no plans for how to make it happen, and no idea what goes on in the rest of the world or how to deal with problems overseas. His excuse for not having a foreign policy or national security plank on his platform: “I’ve only been campaigning for three months.” Former employees and coworkers describe him as hostile and belligerent. All of the Democrats in Vermont’s government endorsed Hillary Clinton. The people who know Bernie best cannot stand him. His supporters cannot explain how he is qualified to be president. "American freedoms are no more than one generation away from extinction" - President Reagan If you want to know what kind of leader Bernie is, go to Wikipedia, it’s a long report... Who Is Bernie Sanders? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders --- ...Thanks LouiseAu! Bernie is an Independent and is why the Democrats try to get rid of him. He is an advocate for reducing our military, the Green New Deal and raising taxes on everyone to pay for it and all his Government free programs. His leadership would bankrupt and weaken the country making everyone except the rich live in extreme poverty like they are suffering now in Venezuela. Why anyone would vote for this old con artist is beyond me - Looking for free stuff I guess. ========================================================= >-->From HandyHints: .:::. .:::. /:::::\ /:':':\ | _ | | _ | | (_` | | |_) | | ,_) | | | | | | jgs | | /`'---'`\ /`'---'`\ `'-----'` `'-----'` Vinegar, baking soda and salt. If you add rubbing alcohol to that list (and maybe hydrogen peroxide) there is almost no cleaning task in your home that you can't tackle. So let's take a look at a few more cleaning problems that can be solved with these cheap, simple, miracle products. * Clean Cloudy Glasses If you use your dishwasher regularly you have almost certainly noticed the phenomenon of cloudy glassware. There always seems to be a secret when it comes to having sparkly and smear-free drinking glasses. Here is an easy tip to let you in on that secret. Fill a bowl with water and some white vinegar. Let your drinking glasses soak in the mixture for about fifteen minutes. Remove them and rinse. You should no longer have cloudy glasses in your kitchen. * Cleaning Greasy Kitchenware with Baking Soda Greasy pots and pans can make doing the dishes a night- mare. But there is always an easy way to get things done. Sprinkle baking soda on greasy kitchenware. Add some dish soap and rub the grease away. Baking soda is ever so slightly abrasive, but won't damage non-stick surfaces like a scouring pad would. Then you can finish washing and rinsing them as you normally would. Works just as well on plates and flatware. -<>- When it comes to cleaning, sometimes the devil is in the details. You want to clean a shirt? You throw it in the wash. You want to clean the stove? You pull out a bottle of spray cleaner and a sponge. But what if you have a nasty stain that won't come out or nooks and crevices that are practically impossible to clean? * Chalk For Getting Rid Of Grease Stains. You will have a tough time trying to get rid of grease stains on fabric. However, here is a handy trick to get rid of stubborn stains without a challenge. Use a stick of chalk and rub onto the stained area. Cover the area properly with a thick layer of chalk. Let it soak overnight to allow the chalk to absorb the grease. Then you can wash and rinse like you normally would. * Easy Window Cleaning Hint... Tongs Wrapped with Micro-Fiber Cloth For Cleaning Window Blinds An easy way to clean your window blinds is by using a tong wrapped with micro-fiber cloth. You will need two pieces of microfiber cloth and a tong. Tie both pieces of cloth onto the sides of the tong. You can secure them with elastic bands. While cleaning your blinds, use the micro-fiber wrapped tong to hold a section and slide the tong along it. You will be finishing up more quickly than usual, as the tong will clean both the upward and downward sides of each section at the same time. -<>- >'Go Green' Hints: * Clean Wood Utensils With Lime Wood utensils can become easily dried out and splinter when you use a lot of soap on them. That is so because they are made of wood. It is better to use natural cleaners to sanitize them. Limes and lemons are great options, as the juice will help to eliminate bacteria and won't dry out the wood as much as regular soap would. If you need a little abrasion try adding salt when you scrub them. -<>- Is there anything vinegar can't do? * Clean Stove Burners Dirty stove burners are a pain to deal with. But that is just an inevitable task, as stove burners will always get dirty one way or another. Here is an easy way to clean them. Soak them in some water with vinegar for a couple of minutes. The vinegar will help to break down stuck-on food and gunk and make them easy to clean. * Stove Knobs Not all stove knobs are able to be taken off for cleaning. A painless way to clean stuck food on stove knobs is to soak some cotton balls with vinegar, and stuff them around the knobs. Leave for about an hour, then use a wet cloth to finish cleaning up. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Pompeo Reveals New Trump Admin Plan https://tinyurl.com/ukango3 Chicago Ignored ICE Detainer On Illegal Alien — Now He’s Been Arrested For Allegedly Abusing A Toddler https://tinyurl.com/wsp33u5 Trump Admin STOPS Costly Project https://tinyurl.com/yxxytzol Vice President Pence Will Lead Coronavirus Task Force https://tinyurl.com/tnbonpn ‘So Far, It Isn’t That Bad’: Man With Coronavirus Reacts To The Panic Surrounding His Condition https://tinyurl.com/t3vulvd Trump To Nominate Rep.

Maybe once in a hundred it'll be raccoons. If you're really, really unlucky it'll be a skunk. But nobody ever expects to find a homeless person living in their attic. When an Oklahoma homeowner heard a commotion in his attic, he expected to find squirrels. Instead, he found a grown man hanging out on a mattress. Before calling 911 the man grabbed his firearm. "The homeowner thought he heard squirrels in his attic. And when he went up to investigate, there was actually somebody that appeared to taken up residence in his attic," police reported. "Apparently, the residence has a staircase that goes up the side of the house with attic access, so that appears to be how the person got into the attic." On the 911 call, you can hear the homeowner direct the suspect out of the house at gunpoint. Dispatch: "I want you to walk toward the gate and put the gun down and unlock the gate." Victim: "Okay, grab your bag we're going downstairs." Victim: "Turn left here left!" "He realized his gate was locked so he escorted him down the driveway where officers were waiting," said police. The squatter is now in the Oklahoma County Jail. -<>- *--- Explorer ends up trapped in Houston sewer ---* Firefighters in Houston shared photos from the rescue of a man who went exploring in the bayou and ended up trapped in the city's sewer. Dylan Bryant said he was exploring a bayou in southwest Houston when he ended up traveling about 100 yards down a sewer line. "I can't go back because of how I had to scooch through," Bryant told local news. "I'm in the middle of open raw sewage in this little bitty box." Bryant shouted for help, and his cries were heard by a man passing by a sewer opening on the street. "He was walking by and he was like, 'Is somebody talking to me? Is somebody there?' And I go, 'Hey man, down here!' Like something out of the Ninja Turtles," Bryant recalled. The man had a nearby woman call 911, summoning firefighters to the scene. *--- Man seeks record with beer-only Lent diet ---* An Ohio man said he is giving up solid food for Lent and switching to a beer-only diet in an attempt to set a world record. Del Hall, who made headlines in 2019 when he lost 44 pounds in 46 days on his beer-only Lent diet, said he is planning to extend his fast to 50 days this year to set a world record for the beer diet. Hall, sales director for Fifty West Brewing Co. in Cincinnati, said he decided to extend the beer diet after hearing about another man who completed a beer-only Lent. "I don't think the extra days are going to be a struggle. The hardest part is the first few days," Hall said. He said he is hoping to set an "all- time world record," but he is not yet sure if the record will be recognized by Guinness World Records. *--- 60-year-old surfer punches great white shark ---* A 60-year-old surfer said he escaped from a great white shark off the New Zealand coast by repeatedly punching it in the eye. Nick Minogue of Auckland said he was surfing at Pauanui Beach when a 10-foot great white shark bit the front end of his surfboard. "I was just paddling along and got hit on the side of my elbow and forearm," Minogue said. "By the time I realized what was going on its teeth were definitely latched on to the front section of the board." Minogue said he decided to fight the attacking predator. "So I actually shouted at it '[expletive] off!' and got it right smack bang in the eye. It's quite a big eye, about three knuckles across, and it's eye kind of looked up and rolled up." The surprised shark let go of Minogue's board, allowing him to paddle back to shore. Minogue said he was lucky to escape with a shallow cut to his arm. He said the shark's teeth made two punctures in his wetsuit, but only one broke the skin. *-- Dog reunited with family after being stolen by hawk --* A Pennsylvania family was reunited with their dog 28 hours after the toy poodle was carried off by a hawk. Deborah Falcione said her 16-year-old dog, Porschia, who is deaf and blind, was snatched of the home's upper back deck. Falcione said she gathered a group of friends and searched the area long into the night, but there were no signs of the toy poodle or the bird of prey who grabbed her. "I was crying my eyes out. She is my life," Falcione told local news. Falcione said she was shocked to receive a call the next afternoon from Banfield Pet Hospital saying they had her dog. The animal hospital said Porschia had been found by a neighbor about four blocks from her home. The dog was cold and lethargic, but didn't have any broken bones. "How she got away, I'll have no idea. How she survived it, I will never know. But I know one thing: By the grace of God, this dog is still alive," Falcione said. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend DanL :) /|\ [] |"""""""""""--__ /| |\ / | \ || |____________--"" ( |__| ) | ( ) | || | | \ / | .-. | || | | |12| ]( 0 )[ || | | | | / `-' \ || | | | | / /' `\ \ || | | | | | | | | |%%| | | | | | | | | ,'`, | | | | | | | | |||| | | |14| | | | | |||| | | / __ \ \ \ / / |||| | | ( | | ) `-' `-' `--' `-' \| |/ pb >A Man's Age Determined by His Trip To Home Depot You are in the middle of a few projects at your home: putting in a new fence, painting the basement walls, putting in a new garden. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dust, lawn clippings, dirt and paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit -- shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who-knows-what, and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of these projects you realize you need to run to Home Depot for supplies. Depending on your age you might do the following: * In your 20s: Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because, you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout line. And yes, you went to school with the pretty girl running the register. * In your 30s: Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change your shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. * In your 40s: Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute is almost empty, so don't waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The hot young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird about thinking she's spicy. * In your 50s: Stop what you are doing. Put on a hat. Wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog crap in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember -- the hat you have on is from Bubba's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms'. * In your 60s: Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat any more. Hose the dog crap off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50s. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute but you don't have your glasses on, so you're not sure. * In your 70s: Stop what you are doing. You wait to go to Home Depot until the drug store has your prescriptions ready too. Don't even notice the dog crap on your hoes. The young thing at the register stares at you and you realize your balls are hanging out the hole in your crotch. * In your 80s: Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you need to go to Home Depot. But you go to Wal-Mart instead. You went to school with the old lady greeter. Where's the restroom? You wander around trying to remember what you are looking for. Then you fart out loud and think someone called your name. * In your 90s & beyond: What's a home deep hoe? Something for my garden? Where am I? Who am I? Why am I reading this? Did I send it? Did you? Who farted? --- ...PH My! LMAO!

So she talked me into participating in an aggressive recycling effort with her. Last week she and I took what proved to be 134 pounds of cardboard boxes to the recycling center and earned $1.34. Counting gas and ice cream, we turned a profit of -$7.85. We're going to use generally accepted accounting principles and see if we can apply this amount to our taxable income. -<>- The district attorney was cross-examining the murderess on the witness stand. "And so after you had poisoned the coffee and your husband sat at the breakfast table partaking of the fatal dosage, didn't you feel any qualms? Didn't you feel the slightest pity for him knowing that he was about to die and was wholly unconscious of it?" "Yes," she answered. "Come to think of it... there was just a moment when I sort of felt sorry for him." "And, when was that?" "When he asked for the second cup." -<>- My children have never been thrilled about taking naps, but one day they were putting up more of a fuss than usual.

He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things." The friend says, "Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I told my husband firmly, 'Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'" The first woman asked, "Did it help?" Her friend said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since." -<>- Some of my friends started a company built around an innovative idea for an online business. A debate broke out about what to name the venture. "We have to call it Imagination," one passionate participant cried out.

I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing. Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined. Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: "Are you ready?" Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot more willing to die. People will pay more to be entertained than educated. Adults ask questions as a child does. When you stop wondering, you might as well put your rocker on the front porch and call it a day. -<>- ,ggg, gg ,ggg, d8P""8b ,d88b, d8""Y8b Y8b,__,,aadd88888bbaaa,888888,aaadd88888bbaa,,__,d8P "88888888888888888888I888888I88888888888888888888" /|\`""YY8888888PP""""`888888'""""YY8888888PP""'/|\ / | \ `WWWW' / | \ / | \ ,dMMb, / | \ / | \ I8888I / | \ / | \ `Y88P' / | \ / | \ `YP' / | \ / | \ 88 / | \ / | \ i88i / | \ / | \ 8888 / | \ "Y88888888888888888888888P" i8888i "Y88888888888888888888888P" `""Y888888888888888P""' ,888888, `""Y888888888888888P""' I888888I Y888888P `Y8888P' `WWWW' dMMb _,ad8888ba,_ __,,aaaadd888888888888888bbaaaa,,__ d8888888888888888888888888888888888888b Normand Veilleux >How to weigh less 1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner ... as well as in the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because it's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight. 2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair. 3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound. 4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they are always five pounds off ... to your advantage. 5. Always go to the bathroom first. 6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter. 7. Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you've weighed in completely naked, of course. 8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at least half a pound of hair (hopefully). 9. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale (air has to weigh something, right?). 10. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.

The room was filled with scowling men and women, each determined to exploit any advantage to out bid the others. Without warning the auctioneer paused the sale and announced, "A gentleman in this room has lost a wallet containing $10,000 in cash. If it is returned, he will pay a reward of $3,000."
