They were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It was late and raining very hard. Bob could barely see the road in front of the car. Suddenly, the car skids out of control! Bob attempts to control the car, but to no avail! The car swerves and smashes into a tree. Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks over at the passenger seat and sees his wife unconscious, with her head bleeding! Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance. Bob carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road. After a short while, he sees a light. He heads towards the light, which is coming from a large, old house. He approaches the door and knocks. A minute passes. A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?" "I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My master is a doctor; come in, and I will get him!" Bob brings his wife in. An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had a basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory." With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table. After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried. "Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion." Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill are no more. The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory, which houses his grand piano. For it is here that he has always found solace. He begins to play, and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house. Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. His eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting piano music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise, marking the beat! He is further amazed as Betty and Bob both sit up straight! Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory. He bursts in and shouts to his master: "Master, Master!.....The Hills are alive with the sound of music!" (I am soooooo sorry.....but you really should've seen that one coming!!) You might even consider changing your e-mail address now!!!! What did you expect .... it's free from a demented friend ... --- ...LOL! A fun Classic!

He is a sales representative and she is a pharmacist. When asked what they do for a living he is quick to reply, "She makes drugs and I sell them." I believe it was Lord Byron who said, "Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine." And they're finding that to be true - quite literally. A woman diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis wrote to me and talked about how painful the disease had become. Debra said that no drugs would touch the devastating pain. "At times I prayed to die because I did not think I could go on this way," she said. But in two and a half years she weaned herself from most of her medication, which had reached a high of 21 pills a day. This is how she did it. "I began seeing a doctor who gave me the most important prescription that I ever could have received," she said. "He excused himself from the room. I watched him walking back and forth in the hall; he seemed to be in deep thought." The doctor came back in with this prescription: he told Debra to get some funny movies and to begin laughing. If she didn't feel like laughing, then she should smile. If she didn't feel like smiling, she should smile anyway! He said that it would increase endorphins in her brain and help with her pain. She did just as he suggested. She smiled constantly. Her children teased her about the fake smile, but she told them that it was going to get rid of her pain. And it did. Of course, not all of her pain is one, but her newly acquired habit of laughing and smiling has made it manageable without all of the drugs. Today, Debra is never seen without her smile. She says that she would not even feel normal without it. Laughter really is cheap medicine. And it's a prescription you can ill right now. ~~Steve Goodier --- ...Great Advice!

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator. He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out. Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior. Shortly before landing in New York, she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs in New Orleans please raise your hand?" Not one hand went up, so she took them home and ate them. Two lessons here: 1. Many lawyers aren't as smart as they think they are. 2. Many blondes aren't as dumb as most folks think. --- ...LOL!

"Not I," said the cow. "Not I," said the duck. "Not I," said the pig. "Not I," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself." She planted her crop and the wheat grew and ripened. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen. "Not I," said the duck. "Out of my classification," said the pig. "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. "I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen. "That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share but the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves." "Excess profits!" cried the cow.. (Nancy Pelosi) "Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer) "I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson) The pig just grunted in disdain.. (Harry Reid) And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle." 8c __/~\__ (((\_/))) _) (_ cgmm And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand." But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared so long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for. ...And perhaps....this is the end...... And the next week, there was no bread, or anything else to eat. So, they all starved equally. EPILOGUE Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. Hillary got $8 million for hers.

Thanks Bunni! ======================================================== >-->From Our Friend Johanna :) [Politics] >Democrats vs. Republicans For you who worry about democrats versus republicans -- relax, here is our real problem: In a Texas A & M classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?" Yep, these are the 18-year-olds that are now voting in our elections! They walk among us..... Lord -- we need more help than we thought we did! --- ...TeeHee - not just 18-year-olds!

This week it is cockroaches! It seems there is no limit to what people will eat for fun or profit. Here is a perfect example of how a person can be a winner and a loser at the same time. According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, Edward Archbold, of West Palm Beach, Florida and several other contestants signed up to eat a variety of insects at a reptile store in Deerfield Beach. After eating dozens of giant cockroaches, Archbold was declared the winner of an ivory-ball python. Apparently he did this just to prove to whoever cared that he was a badass, because he had also entered a superworm- eating contest earlier in the night. But after winning, Archbold felt sick and started vomiting. He then collapsed in the store and was later pronounced dead. The medical examiner's office is conducting tests to determine a cause of death, according to the sheriff's office statement. While the consumption of insects is usually safe and widely accepted throughout the world, and none of the other contestants felt sick, there could have been other factors like allergies that contributed to his death. Or maybe it was the combination of worms AND roaches in the same night. Kind of like how you're not supposed to combine wine and beer. If you'd like to see the legend in action we have a short video clip for you here Man Dies After Roach-eating Contest. *-- Runners marry during marathon in Oregon --* PORTLAND, Ore. - Two old friends who reconnected during the Portland Marathon in Oregon five years ago held their wedding at the 20-mile mark of this year's race. Katie Holmes and Eric Johansson, friends who began dating and had a son after getting together at the 20-mile mark of the marathon five years ago, said they decided to wed Thursday after running the first 20 miles side by side, KPTV, Portland, reported Monday. Holmes was dressed in white with a veil-bearing baseball cap while Johansson ran by her side in a Dri-Fit tuxedo shirt. They stepped off the course into Columbia Park at the 20-mile mark, where they greeted their waiting family and friends. "It's wonderful, the best day," Holmes said. "Very memorable. The most memorable marathon ever, I think." The couple completed the last 6.2 miles of the marathon after completing their ceremony. "I think it'll be a little easier now," Holmes said before departing for the last leg of the run. "I've got a little adrenaline going through my body right now." *-- Juggler accidentally burns props --* CHESTERTON, Ind. - Firefighters in Indiana said a juggler using lit torches accidentally set fire to his props at a public park. The Chesterton Fire Department said Aaron Rossetti, 36, was practicing his juggling Saturday night at Thomas Centennial Park when the burning portion of a lit torch broke off and landed on the table where he was keeping his props -- which included an open can of camping fuel, The Post-Tribune of Northwest Indiana, Merrillville, Ind., reported Tuesday. Rossetti told police the can of fuel caused his props -- which were mostly made of plastic -- to ignite, so he threw them to the grround, where the fire spread to the rest of his props. He said the plastic melted into the park's paving stones. Firefighters responded and extinguished the flames. *-- Life-sized 'Mousetrap' teaches physics --* DEARBORN, Mich. - The creator of a life-sized version of the Hasbro board game "Mousetrap" said in Michigan the goal is to teach physics -- and crush a car. Mark Perez, who brought his creation to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, said his Rube Goldberg device is based on the Hasbro game, but instead of ending with a mouse in a cage it concludes by crushing a junked Hyundai, CNN reported Thursday. Perez said it took him 13 years and 50,000 pounds of objects to build his "Life Size Mousetrap" and the machine takes five days and a crew of 10 to assemble each time it is moved to a new location. "One of our major goals is to teach kids and adults about the physics that surround us," Perez said. "Give us the really unplugged vision -- you know it's not wired in. It's the real thing with counterweights and science and engineering." *-- Schools ban Flamin' Hot Cheetos --* CHICAGO - Schools across the United States are banning Flamin' Hot Cheetos out of concern for the popular snack food's lack of nutrition. The Noble Street Charter School Network in Chicago and the Rockford, Ill., school district said they have banned the snacks -- which were created 20 years ago by the Frito-Lay company -- due to high content of salt, fats and artificial coloring with very little fiber or other nutritional benefits, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday. Renita Weiskircher, director of nutrition services for Rockford Public Schools, said the district used to sell about 150,000 bags of Flamin' Hot Cheetos each school year, but students "have learned to adjust" since the ban was imposed in 2010. Rita Exposito, principal of Jackson Elementary School in Pasadena, Calif., said faculty members at her school specifically target the snacks. "We don't allow candy, and we don't allow Hot Cheetos," she said. "We don't encourage other chips, but if we see Hot Cheetos, we confiscate them, sometimes after the child has already eaten most of them. It's mostly about the lack of nutrition." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Kay :) _\|/_ /--\ |[]| _] \/ [_ /_ `==' _\ \\| |// l\ __/j `|-'##| |#||#| |#||#| _|#||#|_ `==" "==` as >A Viet Nam veteran wears his new hat to Walmart.... A few days ago my best friend from high school sent me a hat reading "VietNam Veteran." I had never had one of these before and was pretty hyped about it, especially because my friend Ron was considerate enough to take the time to mail it to me. Yesterday, I wore it when I went to Wal-Mart. There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer, but since I've retired, trips to Wally World to look at the Walmartians is always good for some comic relief. Besides, I usually feel much more normal after seeing some of the people who frequent that establishment. But, enough of my psychological fixes... While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me, probably in his early thirties, asked, "Are you a Viet Nam Vet?" "No" I replied. "Then why are you wearing that hat?" "Because I couldn't find my one for the War of 1812." I thought it was a snappy retort. "The War of 1812, huh" the Walmartian queried, "When was that?" God forgive me, but I couldn't pass up such an opportunity. "1936" He pondered my response for a moment and responded, "Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1936?" "It was a Black Op. No one is supposed to know about it." This was beginning to be way fun. "Dude! Really!" he exclaimed. "How did you get to do something that COOOOL?" I glanced furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low voice said, "I'm not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission." "Dude!" He was really getting excited about what he was hearing. "That is seriously awesome! But, didn't you, like, kind of stand out?" "Not really. The other guys were wearing white camouflage." The moron nodded knowingly. "Listen man," I said in a very serious tone, "You can't tell anyone about this. It's still Top Secret and I shouldn't have said anything." "Oh yeah?" he said, giving me the "don't threaten me" look. "Like, what's gonna happen if I do?" With a really hard look, I said, "You have a family don't you? We wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would we?" The guy gulped, left his basket where it was and fled through the door. By this time the lady behind me was laughing so hard she was about to have a heart attack. I just grinned at her. After checking out and going to the parking lot, I saw the dimwit leaning in a car window talking to a young woman. Upon catching sight of me, he started pointing excitedly in my direction. Giving him another 'deadly serious' look, I made the "I see you" gesture at my eyes. He turned kind of pale, jumped in the car and sped out of the parking lot. What a great time! Tomorrow I'm going back with a Homeland Security hat. Whoever said retirement is boring just needs the right kind of hat. --- ...LOL!

Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat. * The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. * Every one already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great landing.' It's one after which you can use the airplane another time. * The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival. * A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round and reciprocating parts going up and down -- all of them trying to become random in motion. Helicopters can't really fly -- they're just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them. * Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself. * There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing: Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. * The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as co- pilot is a co-pilot who once was a captain. * It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune. * A male pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman. * Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs. * Asking what a pilot thinks about the FAA is like asking a fire hydrant what it thinks about dogs. -<>- \\\ ____ ________``` \ =|- [________] \ | =| | _ | | \ __ ejm |__=|- O--(_) `.______.' \ O=======(__) /|\ (/(|(\ >Signs Found In The Kitchen So this isn't Home Sweet Home ... Adjust! Martha Stewart doesn't live here!! Ring bell for maid service. If no answer, do it yourself! I clean house every other day. Today is the other day. If you write in the dust, please don't date it! I would cook dinner, but I can't find the can opener! My house was clean last week, too bad you missed it! I came, I saw, I decided to order take out. If you don't like my standards of cooking, lower your standards. Although you'll find our house a mess, Come in, sit down, converse. It doesn't always look like this: Some days it's even worse. A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, and this kitchen is delirious. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand! Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. Countless number of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives. My next house will have no kitchen, just vending machines. I'd live life in the fast lane, but I am married to a speed bump. -<>- (_) - ' @_ _ ' )\/(@ ' __(/ \--._ (,-.---'--'@ @ )0_0( _ ('-') (_) ' _\Y/_ ' .-'-\-/-'-._ ' _ / '* \ ' (_) /) * .-.))>' ._/ \__*_ /\__'.

Simply cross out the names and addresses of people you don't know. * Fool other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb. * Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to fast wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally. * No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off. * Apply red nail polish to your nails before clipping them. The red nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom carpet. (Unless you have a red carpet, in which case a contrasting polish should be selected). * If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down their throat and presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed. * Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whiskey. The following morning you can create the effects of hangover by drinking a thimble full of dish washing liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall. -<>- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO _P_ _9_ / @ \ _ / @ \ //---\\ ( ) //---\\ (( )) T (( )) \\___// | \\___// '---' |E dwb '---' >Signs That You Might Need A New Lawyer * During the trial, you catch him playing his Gameboy. * Every couple of minutes he yells, "I call Jack Daniel's to the stand!" and proceeds to drink a shot. * He places a large "No Refunds" sign on the defense table. * He begins closing arguments with, "As Ally McBeal once said ..." * Just before trial starts he whispers, "The judge is the one with the little hammer, right?" * Just before he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers. * The sign in front of his law office reads "Practicing Law Since 2:25 PM." * Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever." * He giggles every time he hears the word "briefs." * Giggles hysterically at the mere mention of the Penal Code. * Constantly raising objections to the "vibes" he's getting from the jury. * Every time the judge sustains one of his objections, he screams, "Yahtzee!" * Offers to waive his usual fees in exchange for your panties. * You met him in prison. * He tells you that his last good case was a Budweiser. * When the prosecutors see who your lawyer is, they high- five each other. * He picks the jury by playing "duck-duck-goose." * He asks a hostile witness to "pull my finger." * A prison guard is shaving your head. ========================================================== .===. _ _ / _/\ \ / )%.===.%( \ \/6.6\/ | // ,,, \\ | ( _ ) \/ \/6.6\/ \/ .===. _)---(_ /\ ( _ ) /\ / ,,, \ / `~` \ ^^ /()-()\ ^^ ( /6.6\ ) /\/ \/\ / /o o\ \ )( _ )( \ | | / (._\ Y /_.)

"The sun's looking at me too hard." * My friend asked our grandson when he would turn 6. He replied, "When I'm tired of being 5." * Seeing her first hailstorm, Mary Sue, age 3, exclaimed, "Mommy, it's raining dumplings!" * As I frantically waved away a pesky fly with a white dish- towel, my granddaughter observed, "Maybe he thinks you're surrendering." * A friend's grandson, 4, was reading with his granddad about Adam and Eve. He asked, "Is this where God took out the man's brain and made a woman?" * Announcing to daughter Lori that her aunt just had a baby and it looked like her uncle, she said, "You mean he has a mustache?" * When I asked our grandson if he could name the capital of Florida, he fired right back, "Capital F!" * Shampooing my 4-year-old, I noted his hair was growing so fast he'd soon need it cut. He replied, "Maybe we shouldn't water it so much." * My daughter told her 5-year-old that their van was going to be fixed. Instantly, the small fry assumed, "Oh, it's going to the tire-o-practor?" * Impressed by her 5-year-old's vocabulary, my friend complimented the young scholar, who nonchalantly responded, "I have words in my head I haven't even used yet." * His Mom informed her son, Brian, that she was going out- side to get a little sun. "But Mommy, he gulped, "You already have a son. Me!" * When our son asked about two look-alike classmates at school, we told him they were probably twins. The next day, he came home from school all bubbly and said, "Guess what! They are not only twins....they're brothers!!" ======================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Top Reasons To Smile! http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/smile.html Value What You Have http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/valuewyh.html City Silhouettes http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/citys.html Book Sculpture Art! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/bookart.html All Occasion Cars! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/allcar.html Dog Eat Dog World! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dogeatdog.html Harvest Moonbow! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/moonbow.html Humorous Signs http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/hsigns.html Remember Bumper Cars? http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/bcar.html Volvo Lego Car! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/legocar.html -<>- >From Our Friend Linda :) >How Sharp Are You?

So the next time you see a guy on a ledge, about to jump... throw him a doughnut." --Jay Leno "New York is a great town, though. If you're here and want a one of a kind souvenir be sure to take home the police sketch of your assailant." --Dave Letterman "Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the heck happened." --Cora Harvey Armstrong "I've been talking about this all week. Some kids working at a Burger King in New Mexico were arrested when cops discovered they had placed marijuana on their burgers. This marks the first time in history that anything organic has ever been served at Burger King." --Jay Leno "I'd like to apologize for last night's show. It was the stupid ramblings of a drunkard." Dave Letterman "Former President Bill Clinton has now struck a deal with several major food companies to supply schools with snacks that have less fat, less sugar and less salt. This is all part of Clinton's new program, 'No Child Left With A Big Behind.'" --Jay Leno "In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies." --Stephen Leacock >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->BECOMING A CHRISTIAN HOW TO BE A CHRISTIAN! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Christian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->This is for all you who love food andd DARE to make it at home Yep.
