He had never missed a day and was never late. Consequently, when on one particular day 9 AM passed without Johnson's arrival, it caused a sensation. All work ceased and the boss himself, looking at his watch and muttering, came out into the corridor. Finally, precisely at ten, Johnson showed up, clothes dusty and torn, his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent. He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in, and said, aware that all eyes were upon him, "I tripped and rolled down two flights of stairs in the subway. Nearly killed myself." The boss said, "And to roll down two flights of stairs took you an entire hour?" -<>- >Personal Trainer This year I decided it was about time for me to get in shape and lose weight.

Upon arrival, she is greeted with ceremony and honor and told she may immediately have any wish she chooses while her place is prepared for her. She humbly and politely replies that she would like an audience with Holy Mary, if this is possible. Peter agrees on the spot and escorts her personally to a little door, hitherto unnoticed in the great vault of the firmament. He knocks softly. There's a murmured reply from within, and he opens the door and indicates to his guest to enter. Within, sitting in a plain chair is a middle-aged Jewish woman in the garb of the first century knitting. The nun sits reverently for some time at Mary's feet and finally gestures so as to ask a question. Mary looks up from her knitting and indicates it is OK to ask. "Reverend Mother, please tell me, you were chosen from all women to be the mother of God's son. You are a simple Jewish woman, I know. But if you could, just give me an inkling of what it felt like when it happened when Jesus was born?" With a distant look in her eyes, Mary replies, "Vell, Ich vaist a Maydel...." *** *** "Well, I wanted a girl..." ------ Jenny, a blonde girl, came skipping home from school, "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde?" Jenny asked. "Yes, it's because you're blonde," said the mommy. The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "We were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G" "Very good, Jenny," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde." The next day Jenny came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had not chests, but I have these!" "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, mommy?" "No Honey, it's because you're 24." ------- {political Humor] The Americans With No Abilities Act (ANAA) President Barack Obama and the Democratic Senate are considering sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many more Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition. "Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing." In a Capitol Hill press conference, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons with No Ability (63 percent). Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance. Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions, and give a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires. Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, "Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?" "As a non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. "This new law should be real good for people like me. I'll finally have job security." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other lazy, untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Said Sen. Dick Durbin, IL: "As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a great salary for doing so." With this in mind, President Obama gave Hillary Clinton the job as Secretary of State and advised her to choose POI people as well. This message was approved by Jesse Jackson, Kathleen Sebelius, Al Sharpton, Chris Murphy, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama. ------- Old Cowboy Anold cowboy walks into a barbershop in Moose Jaw for a shave and a haircut. He tells the barber he can'tget all his whiskers off because his cheeksare wrinkled from age. The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells the old cowboy to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin. When he's finished, the old cowboy tells the barber that was the cleanest shave he'd had in years, but he wanted to know what would have happened if he had accidentally swallowed that little ball. The barber replied, 'Just bring it back in a couple of days like everyone else does'ť. --- ...LOL!

"Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asked. "Well, I can think of one thing," the cowboy offered. 'On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen." "So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground and yelled, 'Now, back off or I'll kick the sh..t out of all of you!' St. Peter was really impressed. "Wow, when did this happen?" "Couple of minutes ago." -------- "Waiter!" "Yes sir, is there something wrong?" "The soup. Taste it." "I beg your pardon sir?"

"All right sir, I'll taste it ... where is the spoon?" "Ah-HA!!" -------- A really drunk man was walking along the street one day. He was staggering quite a bit, and made two nuns that were approaching him very nervous. The two nuns split apart - one walked to the man's left and one walked to the man's right.

A group of guys notice his condition and decide to be good Samaritans and take him home. First, they stand him up to get to his wallet so they can find out where he lives, but he keeps falling down. He fell down eight more times on the way to the car, each time with a real thud. After they get to his house, he falls down another four times getting him to the door. His wife comes to the door, and one guy says, "We brought your husband home." The wife asks, "Where's his wheelchair? -------- "I'm so happy to see you, Grandma!

I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!) 2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, 'I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts ....' Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, 'Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa His response -- click. 3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) –prez candidate-- called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!' (OMG) 4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, 'Is it possible to see England from Canada?' I said, 'No.' She said, 'But they look so close on the map.' (OMG, again!) 5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, 'I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.' (Aghhhh) 6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that. 7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, 'Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?' I said, 'No, why do you ask?' He replied, 'Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!' After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage. 8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, 'Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?' 9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, 'How do I know which plane to get on?' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, 'I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have that number on them.' 10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, 'I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, 'Yeah, whatever, smarty!' 11. Mary Landrieu, La. Senator called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.' I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, 'Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!' 12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, 'I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, 'Are you sure that's the name of the town?' 'Yes, what flights do you have?' replied the man. After some searching, I came back with, 'I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere.' The man retorted, 'Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, 'You don't mean Buffalo , do you?' The reply? 'Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.' Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! Could anyone be this DUMB? YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED I don't write it, I just offer it for your consideration. Like manure, you just gotta spread it around. --- ...OMGoodness! LOL!

That must have been the thinking of the crew of an Air New Zealand flight when pictures and video showed up on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram of the pilot posing with an inflatable doll in the cockpit. One image shows a pilot kissing the doll. A video shows an air hostess walking through a cabin spitting water. The caption on the video says: "Wish I could spit on passengers like this." An Air New Zealand spokeswoman said the company was "shocked and appalled" by the images. "These images were brought to our attention in the past 48 hours and an investigation commenced immediately. We believe the video was produced about four years ago and the photos were taken more than a year ago." "We expect the highest standards of behavior and respect from all our staff." Two staff members have been stood down by the airline while an investigation takes places, another no longer works there. The inflatable doll has been reassigned duties as a floatation device. -<>- There is an old saying in business that goes, the customer is always right, but the owner of a supermarket in Oregon must have been questioning the wisdom of that philosophy when a customer drove her car through the front of the store. The woman was angry that she was not allowed to purchase a large quantity of gift cards at a Safeway. 43-year-old Noella Fay tried to purchase $2,200 in gift cards, but when she tried to pay by check, the check did not clear. Noella was not happy. Fay left the store, went into the parking lot and parked her vehicle outside the front doors. When an employee told her to move the vehicle, she started screaming about wanting to buy gift cards. She then drove her Chevrolet Tahoe through the doors and into the supermarket, down one of the aisles of the store sending shoppers fleeing, and then left the store through the back doors. Fay was charged with reckless endangering, hit-and-run, reckless driving and criminal mischief. No one was injured as a result of the incident. *----------------- Australia -----------------* South Australia police said they have "ruled out the possibility of a Sharknado" in the mystery of a shark found in a roadside puddle. Police said a member of the public contacted authorities Friday morning to report finding a small shark partially submerged in a roadside puddle in the town of One Tree Hill. Fauna Rescue South Australia responded to the scene and transferred the shark, believed to be a Port Jackson shark, to a water tank. The group said the shark was alive at the time of its rescue, but later died. "How the shark came to be in the puddle is still a mystery, however, police have ruled out the possibility of a Sharknado," police said. "It is believed the shark may have been caught earlier today and dumped, or was kept as a pet but was growing too large for its tank." *--------------- More Australia ---------------* An 8-pound gold nugget valued at about $190,000 was discovered by a seasoned prospector in Australia. According to metal detector manufacturing company Minelab, the anonymous prospector found the nugget while using his metal detector in a worked-over area in the far southern edge of Central Victoria's Golden Triangle. "I thought it was rubbish at first, maybe an old horseshoe," the prospector said. "About 12 inches below the ground, I could just barely make out the top of something. As I began to scrape away the clay and dig deeper, I really couldn't believe my eyes - this wasn't an old piece of steel in front of me. I had just unearthed a colossal gold nugget - a once in a lifetime find! I was in total disbelief as I didn't think nuggets of this size were still around" The man had previously made a promise to split any large finds with his prospecting friends and plans to buy a van to travel across Australia with his share of the proceeds. The nugget dubbed "Friday's Joy" was sent to a bank vault where plans to have a replica have been made as the original is prepared for auction. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: ^ | + | | | | | A === ________ /EEE\ |______| //EEE\\ |*( )*| ejm 97 ___//_____\\_____________|O| |O|_______ bye bye ---------- __o _ ~ ,_ ==c/ -------- _ \<,_ (*)\/(*) (\/\ ------- (*)/ (*) Dewey was having a lot of difficulty in French class.

Work Compared IN PRISON you spend the majority of your time in an 8 x 10 cell. AT WORK you spend most of your time in a 6 x 8 cubicle. IN PRISON you get three meals a day. AT WORK you only get a break for 1 meal, and you have to pay for it and it tastes like prison food. IN PRISON you get time off for good behavior. AT WORK you get rewarded for good behavior with more work. IN PRISON a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. AT WORK you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself. IN PRISON you can watch TV and play games. AT WORK you get fired for watching TV and playing games. IN PRISON you get your own toilet. AT WORK you have to share. IN PRISON they allow your family and friends to visit. AT WORK you cannot even speak to your family and friends. IN PRISON all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work required. AT WORK you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners. IN PRISON you spend most of your life looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out. AT WORK you spend most of your time wanting to get out and inside bars. IN PRISON there are wardens who are often sadistic. AT WORK they are called managers. Still.... Where Would You Rather Be Today??? -<>- _.._..,_,_ ( ) ]~,"-.-~~[ .=])' (; ([ | ]:: ' [ '=]): .) ([ |:: ' | ~~----~~ Paul Martin Howard >Top 10 Most Brilliant Marketing Mess Ups 1. Coors put its slogan, "Turn it loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer from diarrhea." 2. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 3. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure stick." 4. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the U.S., with the beautiful Caucasian baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since most people can't read. 5. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 6. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa). 7. Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave", in Chinese. 8. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "it takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke- la", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "ko-kou-ko- le", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "it won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you". Instead, the company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Pet Confessions!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/petconfessions.html Fun With Nature!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/nature.html Animal Friends 5!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/animalfriends5.html Awww Animals 10!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/animals10.html Dog Rescue Stories!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dogrescues.html Dangerous Critters!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dangerouscritters.html Dog Family Portraits!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dogfamilies.html Come Smile With Me!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/smilewithme.html Koalas In A Heatwave!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/koalas.html Look Who's Talking 9!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/talking9.html Church Mouse Wisdom!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/churchmouse.html Beautiful Exotic Birds 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/exoticbirds2.html Australian Fire Tornado!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/firetornado.html Cute Australian Wildlife!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/australiaanimals.html Wild Kisses And Snuggles!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wildkisses.html Australian Cockatoo Story!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/cockatoos.html Adorable Wrinkly Puppies!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wrinklypuppies.html Kisses Sweeter Than Honey http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/kisses.html -<>- >Please Visit This Link to Get New Traffic For Shangrala :) Fun Pages http://www.funpageexchange.com/go.php?uid=3559 -<>- >Please Follow Me On StumbleUpon: http://tinyurl.com/zwjhzjg -<>- >From Emergencyemailalert: Alert Product Recalls: sausage, vegetables, chicken, microwaves http://tinyurl.com/hy5bk4h -<>- >From Our Friend Melody :) 24 Tricks to Survive Hot Summer Nights (Without AC) http://tinyurl.com/h2e7oud --- ...Good one! Thanks Melody! -<>- >From Our Friend PatDeE :) Only the British could dream up this Commercial. It is only 30 seconds long. You have seen her in many Victoria Secret ads on TV, now you get the whole picture. Gotta get me the new improved Dyson! http://zanylol.com/dyson.html JESUS LOVER - Pronunciation is critical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az-HsO04zkU --- ...OMGoodness! LOL! Thanks PatDeE Why I always say 'in the name of Jesus CHRIST' Only One! A repeat but worth watching and remember those who have given so much. About six miles from Maastricht. in the Netherlands lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Everyone of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually on "Liberation Day" Memorial Services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio", a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since, This year the soloist was a 13 year old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.

Jerry Zeifman said he supervised Hillary Rodham Clinton as she worked on the team that worked on the Watergate impeachment inquiry, and that during the investigation Hillary Clinton had “...engaged in a variety of self-serving, unethical practices in violation of House rules.” https://www.truthorfiction.com/clinton-watergate/ --- ...Yeppers! That's Hillary! Thanks PatDeE! Sounds a lot like her actions while Secretary of state with her foundation and emails! She was only 27 but has not changed - a liar and unethical then and still is now! He was finally able to terminate her! Too bad Pres.Obama didn't have the sense to do the same! I am sure that if elected President she will again "engaged in a variety of self-serving, unethical practices". -<>- >From Our Friend LouiseAu :) Professional magician and mentalist Oz Pearlman gets inside the heads of Howard Stern and Howie Mandel and qualifies for Radio City Music Hall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2huwKE7-de8 Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon have an epic lip sync battle with 'Can't Feel My Face' 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light' and 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CW1_dUBzJV8 --- ...LOL!
