Most of it was emailed to me by a friend who added some comments from his own experiences. Reminds me of all those months where my rack (that's a bed) was right next to a steam line ..... - Tom * * * * * * I am speaking today on behalf of those of us who have family members that think we live (or lived) a "TOP GUN" existence. You know, those relatives who have watched one too many episodes of JAG, and think that Navy life is glamorous. I have a few suggestions for these people on how they can experience Navy life, right in the comfort of their own homes. 1. Buy a dumpster, paint it gray and live in it for 6 months straight. Have someone move it around during the days AND the nights. 2. Run all of your house piping and wires on the outside of the walls. 3. Pump 10 inches of nasty, rank water into your basement, then pump it out, clean up, and paint the basement "deck gray". You must then pump this kind of nasty water back into and out of your basement twice a day. 4. In the middle of January, place a podium at the end of your driveway. Have you family stand watches at the podium, rotating at 4-hour intervals. 5. Perform a weekly disassembly and inspection of your lawn mower. Have your father-in-law "spot-check" you every four weeks and give you an assessment of your technique. 6. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays turn your water temperature up to 200 degrees, then on Tuesday and Thursday turn it down to 10 degrees. On Saturdays, and Sundays declare to your entire family that they used too much water during the week, so all showering is secured. 7. Raise your bed to within 12 inches of the ceiling. 8. Have your next door neighbor come over each day at 5:00 a.m., and blow a whistle and shout in his loudest voice, "Reveille, Reveille, all hands heave out and trice up". 9. Have your mother-in-law write down everything she's going to do the following day, then you take a ladder at 6:00 a.m., climb up to your roof, then back down, and then stand in the back yard at attention until 6:25 so she can come out and read it to you. 10. Eat the raunchiest Mexican food you can find for three days straight, then lock the bathroom door for 12 hours, and hang a sign on it that reads "Secured - contact OA DIV at ext. -3053". 11. Submit a request form to your father-in-law, asking if it's OK for you to leave your house before 3:00 p.m. 12. Invite 200 of your not-so-closest friends to come over, then board up all the windows and doors to your house for 6 months. After the 6 months is up, take down the boards, and since you're on duty, wave at your friends and family through the front window of your home .... you can't leave until the next day. 13. Shower together with above-mentioned friends. No one can use more than 60 seconds of worth of shower water, and you can only use hand-towels to dry off. 14. Make your family qualify to operate all the appliances in your home (i.e. dishwasher operator, blender technician, etc). Make sure they get signatures for each step of operation, and then give them an oral review conducted by three other previously-qualified operators before allowing them to operate the appliance. 15. Walk around your car for 4 hours checking the tire pressure every fifteen minutes. Check the oil and transmission fluid levels once every four hours even if the car has not been started. Record your readings in a log. 16. Sit in your car and let it run for 4 hours before going anywhere. This is to ensure your engine is properly "lit off". 17. Empty all the garbage bins in your house, and sweep your driveway three times a day, whether they need it or not. 18. Repaint your entire house once a month. 19. Cook all of your food blindfolded, groping for any spice and seasoning you can get your hands on. 20. Have your neighbor collect all your mail for a month, randomly losing every 5th item. 21. Spend $20,000 on a satellite system for your TV, but only watch CNN and the Weather Channel. 22. Have your 5-year-old cousin give you a haircut with goat shears. 23. Sew back pockets to the front of your pants. 24. Have your son power-nail the aluminum siding on your house after your neighbors have gone to bed. Then yell at him for not doing his job when he stops to explain that you told him to do it. 25. When your children have been in bed for 3 hours, run into their room with a megaphone, and shout at the top of your lungs that your home is under attack, and order them to man their battle stations. Have them do it over again if they are not dressed and on station in four minutes. 26. Post a menu on the refrigerator door informing your family that you are having steak for dinner. Then make them wait in line at the front door for at least an hour. When they finally get to the kitchen, tell them that you are out of steak, but that you have dried ham or hot dogs. Repeat daily until they don't pay attention to the menu any more and they just ask for hot dogs. -<>- __ .-' | / <\| / \' |_.- o-o / C -._)\ /', | | `-,_,__,' (,,)====[_]=| '. ____/ | -|-|_ |____)_) [n4biS] >Garden Gnome A gnome is in the garden busily destroying some bushes when a house cat appears. "What are you?" asks the cat. "A gnome," comes the reply. "I steal food from humans, I kill their plants, I make annoying music at night to drive them crazy, and I love mischief. And what, may I ask, are you?" The cat replies, "Um, I'm a gnome." -<>- >Dinner Party My wife hosted a dinner party for all our friends, some of whom we hadn't seen for ages, and everyone was encouraged to bring their children along as well. All throughout dinner my wife's best friend's four-year-old daughter stared at me as I sat opposite her. The girl could hardly eat her food for staring. I checked my shirt for spots, felt my face for food, and patted my hair in place; but nothing stopped her from staring at me. I tried my best to just ignore her, but finally it was too much for me. I asked her, "Why are you staring at me?" Everyone at the table had noticed her behavior, and the table went quiet, waiting for her response. The little girl said, "I'm just waiting to see how you drink like a fish." -<>- >Water in the Glass A well-known proverb states that an optimistic would say a glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. What would people of different professions and walks of life say? The GOVERNMENT would say that the glass is fuller than if the opposition party were in power. The OPPOSITION would say that it is irrelevant because the present administration has changed the way such volume statistics are collected. The ECONOMIST would say that, in real terms, the glass is 25% fuller than at the same time last year. The PHILOSOPHER would say that, if the glass were in the forest and no one was there to see it, would it be half anything? The PSYCHIATRIST would ask, "What did your mother say about the glass?" The PHYSICIST would say that the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts: one a colorless, odorless liquid; the other a colorless, odorless gas. Thus, the cylinder is neither full nor empty. Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid. The SEASONED DRINKER would say that the glass doesn't have enough ice in it. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) ,-""-. /--. \ .-.-'`-~ | () ) |<_.-. \--' / `~._ `~' `-..-' `- hjw >SMILES "Doctor!" whined the patient. "I keep seeing spots before my eyes." The physician scratched his head, "Why have you come to me? Have you seen an ophthalmologist?" "No," replied the patient, "just spots." ---------- A guy was known among his friends to be very brief an to the point - he really never said too much. One day, a saleswoman promoting Avon knocked on his door and asked to see his wife, so the guy told her that she wasn't home. "Well," the woman said, "could I please wait for her?" The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there for more than three hours. After feeling really worried, she called out for him an asked, "May I ask where your wife is?" "She went to the cemetery," he replied. "And when is she coming back?" "I don't really know," he said.. "She's been there eleven years now!" ---------- A three-year-old walked up to a pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office. He inquisitively asked the lady, "Why is your stomach so big?" She replied, "I'm having a baby." With big eyes, he asked, "Is the baby in your stomach?" She answered, "He sure is." Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked, "Is it a good baby?" She said, "Oh, yes. It's a real good baby." With an even more surprised and shocked look, he asked, "Then why did you eat him?" ---------- "Did you give the prisoner the third degree?" asked the police sergeant. "Yeah, we browbeat him, asking every question we could." answered the arresting officer. "And did you get a confession?" asked the sergeant. "Not exactly." replied the officer. "All he said was, 'Yes Dear,' and dozed off." ---------- The young blonde bride made her first appointment with a gynecologist and told him that she and her husband wished to start a family. "We've been trying for months now, Doctor, and I don't seem to be able to get pregnant," she confessed miserably. "I'm sure we'll solve your problem," the doctor reassured her. "If you'll just take off your underpants and get up on the examining table..." "Well, all right, Doctor," agreed the young woman, blushing, "but I'd rather have my husband's baby." ---------- The boss was very exasperated with his new secretary. She ignored the telephone when it rang. "You must answer the telephone," he told her irritably. "All right," she replied, "but it seems so silly. Nine times out of ten, it's for you!" ---------- Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway." -------- _ , L\ \/OO\ |/ \ /_\ ` _\ |_ Arjen Pilon A very cranky old woman was arrested for shoplifting at a grocery store. She gave everyone a hard time, from the store manager to the security guard to the arresting officer who took her away, complaining and criticizing throughout the process. When she appeared before the judge, the judge asked what she had stolen from the store. The lady defiantly replied, "Just a stupid can of peaches." The judge then asked why she had done it. She replied, "I was hungry and forgot to bring any cash to the store." The judge asked how many peaches were in the can. She replied, "Nine, but what do you care about that?" The judge patiently said, "Well, ma'am, because I'm going to give you nine days in jail -- one day for each peach." As the judge was about to drop gavel, the lady's long suffering husband raised his hand and asked if he might speak. The judge said, "Yes, what do you have to add?" The husband said, "Your Honor, she also stole a can of peas." -------- Al-Qaeda, trying to persuade a yokel to volunteer for the Muslim Air Force. He took him inside the aircraft and explained, "You press this yellow button and the engine will start. "Then you press the blue button and the plane will take off. It is all very simple." "But how do I bring the plane down?" asked the yokel, puzzled. "You don't have to brother about that," explained al-Qaeda. "Leave that to the US Air Force." -------- A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets, and as he was walking away, he turned to the cadet and said, "I guess when I die you'll come and dance on my grave." The cadet replied, "Not me, Sarge. No sir! I promised myself that when I got out of the Army, I'd never stand in another line!" -------- .-"""-. _.---..-; :.) ;"" \/ __..--'\ ;-"""-. ;._ `-.___.^.___.'-.____J__/-._J bug Three doctors are in the duck blind and a bird flies overhead. The general practitioner looks at it and says, "Looks like a duck, flies like a duck... it's probably a duck," and shoots at it but misses and the bird flies away. The next bird flies overhead and the pathologist looks at it, then looks through the pages of a bird manual, and says, "Hmmmm...green wings, yellow bill, quacking sound...might be a duck." He raises his gun to shoot it, but the bird is long gone. A third bird flies over. The surgeon raises his gun and shoots almost without looking, brings the bird down, and turns to the pathologist and says, "Go see if that was a duck." -------- I was very scared about going to the eye doctor to get a certain procedure done on my eyes. The doctor tried to put me at ease but to no avail. It was after he finished with my first eye that I nearly jumped out of the chair. "There there", he said "only one eye left!" --- ...OH My! LOL!

Or, you could steal it. But how? Run into a bank waving a gun around? That's a good way to get shot. One entrepreneur in Arizona came up with a creative way to make his circumstances work for him. A firefighter who was deep in debt lit fires and then stole cash from his colleagues who were working to extinguish the flames, according to police. Phoenix police said that they have arrested 36-year-old Ryan Donahue after being accused of stealing cash from at least 8 fire stations. Donahue was charged with theft, arson, burglary, and criminal damage. He has since been placed on unpaid leave. According to the police investigation, Donahue was a fire- fighter for the past 11 years. Recently, Donahue began struggling with drugs and he accumulated a lot of debt. Donahue decided to steal cash from his colleagues. He intentionally set fires, and when his colleagues went out of the fire stations to fight the fires, Donahue went inside and took cash from their wallets. Donahue admitted to stealing cash from his colleagues on at least 8 occasions. It sounds like he could have made more money as an arsonist. -<>- A police sergeant is facing suspension after failing a random drug test, according to police in New York. The New York Police Department suspended 43-year-old Tracy Gittens, a police sergeant, for 30 days after a strand of her hair tested positive for marijuana. Gittens defended herself, saying that the strand of hair that was tested did not belong to her. She explained that on the day of the random test, she was wearing human hair extensions and that was tested. Gittens said that only her hair extensions showed signs of marijuana use but her own her tested negative. She went to a private lab and got additional testing. Gittens claimed that those tests showed that she never used marijuana. During her tribunal, Gittens affirmed that she does not use marijuana. However, prosecutors blasted her defense, saying that a DNA test showed that the hair was from Gittens and not hair extensions. After being confronted with the evidence, Gittens changed her story and claimed that she may have accidentally used marijuana. *----------- Sing a Song of Sixpence -----------* A pocket full of rye, six and twenty finches stuffed in their socks. That's a lot of finches to smuggle into the country. Federal authorities said two men were arrested at a New York airport for trying to concealed 26 live birds in hair curlers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said New York residents Victor Benjamin and Insaf Ali were stopped at John F. Kennedy International Airport after arriving from Guyana. The men were found to be concealing 26 live finches that were placed inside hair curlers and stuffed into their socks. Granted, finches are small birds, but that's still pretty impressive. Finches from Guyana are prized for their singing voices. "Although certain species of finch are available in the United States, species from Guyana are believed to sing better and are therefore more highly sought after," Gabriel Harper of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said. "An individual willing to smuggle finches into the United States from Guyana can earn a large profit by selling these birds in the New York area." *------ 13-Year-Old Running for Governor ------* A candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for Vermont governor is facing a unique set of challenges due to one simple factor -- he's only 13. Ethan Sonneborn, a Bristol eighth grader facing two challengers for the Democratic nomination in the August primary, has made gun control a centerpiece of his campaign since he announced his political ambitions last year. "My generation has been taking an important step in this because we're the ones were getting shot," Sonneborn said. Vermont Democratic Party Executive Director Conor Casey said Sonneborn's age gives his campaign some unique challenges. "It's funny, his biggest barrier is complications to being in school while simultaneously running for governor -- not that I'm advocating that he drop out," Casey said. "Also, not having a driver's license. He's dependent on other people for rides to statewide events he speaks at." Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos said the state currently has no age-based restrictions for gubernatorial candidates, but his office will likely be discussing establishing a minimum age in the next year. *------- Jesus Is The Light of The World -------* Jesus might be the light of the world, but one teenager would never know about it without the light of the taser. An Arizona mother was arrested after police say she used a taser to wake up her 16-year-old for an Easter church service. Sharron Dobbins, 40, told police in Phoenix that she "only sparked the taser to get the kids up for church on Easter," according to court records. An 18-year-old and 17-year-old were also in the room of the apartment and witnessed the incident on April 1. Police found the taser and impounded it as evidence. The victim "did not complain of any pain," according to police, but did have two small bumps on his leg that he said were left by the taser. *---- Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace ----* A Nevada dad stole the scene at the moment of his daughter's engagement when he interrupted the proposal with a sign reading, "SAY NO." Levi Bliss, 23, conspired with his relatives and the family of Allison Barron, 22, to surprise his intended while he popped the question in a scenic location. Bliss had Barron's family set up letters spelling "Marry Me?" on the side of a large hill and he then took his girlfriend driving past the display and stopped to officially propose. Barron's family hid in the bushes nearby and her father interrupted the proposal unexpectedly by popping out holding a sign reading, "SAY NO." Barron told Inside Edition it was another of her father's famous "dad jokes." The couple said the only one not amused by the sign was Bliss' mom. "She was kind of mad about it," Bliss said. ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: . _._ dO .dOOOb._ _.dOP "OOOb dOOOP O O. "Ob dOP~' .O `O. () . .

He got himself a nice room and went to the hotel bar to relax with a couple stiff drinks. A waitress in a short skirt and low-cut uniform came over and asked, "What'll it be, Father?" The priest felt to see if he was still wearing his collar by mistake, but he had none on. "How did you know I'm a priest?" he asked. The waitress said, "I'm Sister Mary Margaret.

The jumper cables are not in the trunk but are permanently soldered to the battery. The hood has been equipped with a push-button device for quick and easy opening. The "Purchased From" sticker at the bottom of the rear license plate has been removed. You get a "Good Luck" card from the previous owner. As you drive up to a service station for gas, the mechanic opens the big door and waves you in. When you leave for work the next morning, you notice a tow truck parked about a block from your driveway. As you go by, it silently falls in behind you. The little "Service Engine" warning signal in the dashboard comes on and reads "Me Again." -<>- Seem to be or not seem to be.... \ ,,,,,, /e ''( (_ ` \ ___> \ / ,_\-.___ \_ / _)/ / \ | \ / ` _ | __\____/ / ' | / _ /______/ / _/ \,_____/o ( \__)/` \ / \__________/_/_ _/ \ \ )/ \ / / | /\ ( \_____/ ___/ \ \ _/ \ ______/_/___|_| ) \ / / o\ o\ / / /\ b'ger,,,'-----^--',,,,,,',,|_,,\_ ,,\/,, >Facts To Ponder 1. Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. 2. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain. 3. I'm in shape. Round is a shape. 4. I'm still desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets. 5. Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? 6. I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. 7. Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window? 8. Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac? 9. You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is. 10. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them. 11. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you. 12. They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem. 13. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall. 14. A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to eliminate you too". 15. Future historians will be able to study at the Jimmy Carter Library, the Gerald Ford Library, the Ronald Reagan Library, and the Bill Clinton Adult Bookstore. ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Police Dogs!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/policedogs.html Useless Signs!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/uselesssigns.html Pet Confessions!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/petconfessions.html Extreme BBQ'S!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/extremebbqs.html Only ONE Job 4!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/onejob4.html Al Capone's Car!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/alcaponescar.html Kids Being Kids 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/kids2.html Humor With Golf!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/golfhumor.html Morons at Work 4!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/mwork4.html Life's Little Oops 14!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/whoops14.html Got A Nanosecond 7?- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/nano7.html Redneck Innovations!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/redneckinnovations.html Jaw-Dropping Things!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/rarethings.html Humor With Cooking!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/cookinghumor.html Pets Left Home Alone!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/petshome.html Humorous Boat Names!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/boatnames.html MacGyver - How To Do It 6!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/macgyver6.html Geography Of Women Vs Men!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/womenvsmen.html -<>- >Please Visit/Follow Me On StumbleUpon: https://tinyurl.com/y7qf3ksw Some of Shangrala's Best Pages http://www.amazfamily.com/index.html -<>- All of Steven Spielberg's movies (including 'Ready Player One'), ranked From usatoday.com: For the movie lovers who grew up in the blockbuster era, there's no more iconic filmmaker than Steven Spielberg.
