Old man refused to tell the time. The boy insisted again, but the old man denied him again. The boy asked the reason. The old man said: "If I tell you the time, then you will ask about me, my name, my job etc. Then I will ask about you about yourself. You may get to seat next to me. Then you may get down off at my station. My daughter will come to receive me. She will meet you. She is beautiful. You may fall in love with her, she with you too. Then she may insist to marry you, even may threaten me... And I am sorry that I don't want such a poor son in law who hasn't got his own watch to see the time." -<>- A man's car stalled on a country road. When he got out to fix it, a cow came along and stopped beside him. "Your trouble is probably in the carburetor," said the cow. Startled, the man jumped back and ran down the road until he met a farmer. He told the farmer his story. "Was it a large red cow with a brown spot over the right eye?" asked the farmer. "Yes, yes," the man replied. "Oh! I would not listen to Bessie," said the farmer. "She does not know anything about cars." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ February 6 is Lame Duck Day and National Chopsticks Day February 7 is Wave All you Fingers at Your Neighbor Day and Send a Card to a Friend Day February 8 is Kite Flying Day February 9 is National Pizza Day and Toothache Day February 10 is Umbrella Day February 11 is Don't Cry over Spilled Milk Day, Make a Friend Day, National Inventors Day and White T-Shirt Day February 12 is Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, National Lost Penny Day and Plum Pudding Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: _ ___ / `--'\ \ / | , | jgs \/`\/ >Late Note Students at the school where I work must sign in and out, and must have a note from a parent if they're late.

"Do you have a dentist card?" "No," he said. Then, taking a deep breath, he added, "but I have these," and shoved a box across the counter.

As she returned to the house, she slipped and fell, hitting her head on the driveway. I called the paramedics. When they arrived, they asked my mom some questions to determine her coherency.

"It's a surprise for your birthday," one explained, "we decided to cook our own breakfast." -<>- >Bridge A young couple went on vacation in Colorado. They flew to Denver and rented a car to sight see. One of the sights was a bridge that was more than 1,000 feet above the river. Walking out onto the bridge, they noticed it swaying in the wind. "I don't think I want to drive the car across this bridge," one said to the other. "What are you worried about?" the second replied. "It's a rental." -<>- >Yard Sale A woman was browsing through the merchandise at a yard sale when she noticed a small box that was marked, "Electronic cat and dog caller: Guaranteed to work!"

Once I brought home two pieces of cheesecake for my son and daughter. Katie had a piece that evening. The next day her older brother found her watching TV and eating more cheesecake. "Are you eating my cheesecake?" he demanded. "Oh, no," she replied sweetly, "I ate yours yesterday." ---------- I spent more than two whole hours in the beauty shop, getting my hair permed, cut and styled. Relieved to be done, I went up to the receptionist to pay. "Good afternoon!" she welcomed me cheerfully. "And who's your appointment with today?" ---------- A woman walks into a store. Curious about a shiny object, she asks, 'What is that?' The store clerk responds, 'It's a thermos.' The woman scratches her head and inquires, 'What does it do?' The clerk explains, 'It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.' So she buys one. The next day, she brings it to work with her. Her boss, asks, 'What is that shiny object?' She replies 'It's a thermos.' He asks, 'What does it do?' She says, 'It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.' He then asks, 'What do you have in there?' 'Two cups of coffee and a Popsicle!' ---------- Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office. "Boss," he remarks, "we're doing some heavy house-cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff." "We're short-handed, Smith," the boss replies. "I can't give you the day off." "Thanks, boss," says Smith. "I knew I could count on you!" ---------- The children begged for a hamster, and after the usual fervent vows that they alone would care for it, they got one. They named it Danny. Two months later, when Mom found herself responsible for cleaning and feeding the creature, she located a prospective new home for it. The children took the news of Danny's imminent departure quite well, though one of them remarked, "He's been around here a long time. We'll miss him." "Yes," Mom replied, "But he's too much work for one person, and since I'M that 'one person,' I say he goes." Another child offered, "Well, maybe if he wouldn't eat so much, and wouldn't be so messy, we could keep him." But Mom was firm. "It's time to take Danny to his new home now," she insisted. "Go and get his cage." With one voice and in tearful outrage the children shouted, "His cage?! Oh, no! Danny?!! We thought you said Daddy!" -------- A little girl received a hamster from her Grandma. Inevitably, one day he escaped from his cage. The family turned the house upside down and finally found him. Several weeks later, while the girl was at school, he escaped from his cage again. They searched and searched, ever more frantically, but never found the critter. Hoping to make the loss less painful for her, the girl's mother took the cage out of her room. When she came home from school that afternoon, she went to her room as usual. Then she walked out, climbed into her mother's lap, and announced, "We've got a serious problem. "What is that?" asked her mom. "Not only is my hamster gone again, but this time he took his cage with him -------- _________________________________________________________ ||-------------------------------------------------------|| ||.--. .-._ .----. || |||==|____| |H|___ .---.___|""""|_____.--.___ || ||| |====| | |xxx|_ |+++|=-=|_ _|-=+=-|==|---||| |||==| | | | | \ | | |_\/_|Black| | ^ ||| ||| | | | | |\ \ .--. | |=-=|_/\_|-=+=-| | ^ ||| ||| | | | | |_\ \_( oo )| | | |Magus| | ^ ||| |||==|====| |H|xxx| \ \ |''| |+++|=-=|""""|-=+=-|==|---||| ||`--^----'-^-^---' `-' "" '---^---^----^-----^--^---^|| ||-------------------------------------------------------|| ||-------------------------------------------------------|| || ___ .-.__.-----. .---.|| || |===| .---. __ .---| |XX|<(*)>|_|^^^||| || , /(| |_|III|__|''|__|:x:|=| | |=| Q ||| || _a'{ / (|===|+| |++| |==| | | |Illum| | R ||| || '/\\/ _(|===|-| | |''| |:x:|=| |inati| | Y ||| ||_____ -\{___(| |-| | | | | | | | | | Z ||| || _(____)|===|+|[I]|DK|''|==|:x:|=|XX|<(*)>|=|^^^||| || `---^-^---^--^--'--^---^-^--^-----^-^---^|| ||-------------------------------------------------------|| ||_______________________________________________________|| Qryz >A Mom's Dictionary AIRPLANE: What Mom impersonates to get a 1-yr.-old to eat strained beets.

If you get this call, don't say "Yes" or you'll get scammed How this phone scam works The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is receiving complaints from people across the U.S. about the latest phone scam making the rounds. What's happening is, people are receiving automated calls from someone claiming to be an employee of a certain business. Some companies they are supposedly representing are cruise lines, home security agencies, or social security firms. The criminal begins the call with a simple, "Can you hear me?" Warning: Do NOT answer that question on one of these unsolicited calls. It's a scam! If you answer that question, or any question for that matter, with a "yes," the criminal can use it against you. They are actually recording the victims' responses. If they record you saying "yes," they can use it to claim that you agreed to certain charges. They then threaten to sue the victim if they attempt to deny the charges. These calls usually show up with the local area code on the caller ID. This lets the victims' guard down, thinking it's someone local and they might know the person. What you need to do Police are urging everyone who receives a call like this to immediately hang up. It's not rude to hang up on a potential scammer. This isn't the first time this type of phone scam has been seen. Last year, a similar version was going around with the criminal asking people questions like, "Do you pay the household bills?" or "Are you the homeowner?" Taking advice from police is your best course of action here. If you get a call from someone you don't know asking an easy question where the answer is yes, hang up. Caution is always the best action, especially in today's world! --- ...Thanks for the info LouiseAu! We won't pick up on 'Sales' calls.

The woman found an old rusty coat hanger left on the ground. She looked at it and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within 5 minutes a beat-up old motorcycle pulled up, driven by a bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag. He got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said: "Yes, my daughter is sick. I've locked my keys in my car. I must get home. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute, the car door was open. She hugged the man and through tears, softly said, "Thank you, God, for sending me such a very nice man." The man heard her little prayer and replied, "lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday; I was in prison for car theft." The woman hugged the man again, sobbing, "Oh, thank you, God! You even sent me a professional." Is God great or what!?! --- ...HaHa! Absolutely!

It gets to be a full job just to get past the hype of the far left and the far right to determine if something is actually factual or just fits their own agenda. Obama's last money shower for the UN: some $9.2 billion The new tally includes nearly $360 million for the controversial United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, which is regularly accused of inculcating violent anti-Israel attitudes and even abetting terrorist attacks on Israel, which it strongly denies.

Raised a Catholic means perhaps she is a born again believer - a Christian.

It seems as if the left has it all figured out and actually has done a great job dominating the 'teaching' field so that our children and young adults are being indoctrinated by them. I find it interesting too that with our 'global' policy and Pres. Clinton signing in NAFTA, that caused 70,000 of our good factory jobs to leave the US, this got Pres. Obama to instruct our youth that they needed to train their brain and get a college education if they wanted to be able to succeed in today's job market society. So many signed up and Pres.Obama even made it easier for them to get government student loans that by the way they would always owe to the government as students can't back out of them or file bankruptcy to free themselves from their enormous student loan debts. So our youth go in to a college today where if any conservative is invited to speak, the students feel they are threatened and like in CA and NY this weekend, they protest. The left even hires a hundred or so thugs in black ninja outfits to protest with the kids and make the protest full of hate and violence. The teachers give extra credit for the kids to protest at these hate filled riots. These young adults then graduate and many become teachers themselves. They spread the hate they have learned in college to the kids and young adults they teach and the cycle continues until the left has full dominance of our country. Sad that the right didn't see this coming. It may be too late to change. Stopping funding to these radical hate inspiring colleges may help but I think that would include most of them and be considered unconstitutional in the long run. Something else to pray for! God help them and us! President Trump’s Super Bowl Sunday Interview with Bill O’Reilly http://tinyurl.com/jkevyu4 --- ...Many may be surprised that Pres. Trump's order involving sanctuary cities is only for those illegals who commit a crime and are locked up. Cities are suppose to report to ICE if they have a person who has committed a crime that lands them in jail and is found to not be a citizen. CRIMINALS Only! Not just any illegal they come across and ticket on the street. Sanctuary cities refuse to report their illegal CRIMINALS they have in their jail cells to ICE so they can be deported.

Police in California arrested an alleged bad-luck burglar who ended up trapped inside a home's chimney and abandoned by his accomplices. The Ridgecrest Police Department said officers were dispatched to a home Sunday on a report of a triggered burglary alarm, and police received a phone call moments later from a woman who reported her friend was trapped in a chimney at the same address where the alarm was triggered. Officers arrived on the scene and discovered Keith Schultz, 28, trapped in the chimney. They said the woman who called police was gone by the time they arrived. Police said Schultz apparently became trapped in the chimney while trying to break into the residence. Investigators found signs of forced entry and an open back door, indicating Schultz' accomplices broke into the home in an attempt to free him from the chimney, but they were unsuccessful. The soot-covered suspect was rescued from the chimney by firefighters and booked on a charge of burglary. -<>- Police in Oregon said a man who arranged a rendezvous on dating app Tinder was left naked without his wallet and cellphone in a motel room. Springfield Police Sgt. Rich Charboneau said the man, a Mapleton resident, exchanged messages with a female Tinder user for months before they arranged to meet at the Village Inn in Springfield. The man said the woman, who used the name Lacey on the dating app, suggested he leave the door to his room unlocked while he showered so she could come in and join him. The old 'Why don't you grab a shower and leave me alone with your wallet' trick. Charboneau said the man instead found that when he got out of the shower, his clothes, wallet, and phone had been taken. The wallet contained his debit card, police said. "He's never seen her, he doesn't know who this is--we don't know either. We have some leads we're following up, but obviously we're telling people that if you're going to meet people, via that app, then I'd recommend meeting them some- place in public during the daylight hours," Charboneau said. Police said the woman deleted her Tinder profile after the theft. So apparently a second date is not likely. -<>- *-- Teacher Arrested for Doing Cartwheel --* Nothing emphasizes a middle school anti-drug talk like a quick p%$@#y flash. That really cements the message that drugs are bad in the minds of 14-year-old boys. Maybe that is what was in the mind of 34-year-old Oklahoma teacher Lacey Sponsler. Either that or she just forgot she wasn't wearing any panties. But the fact is that after speaking to her students about using illegal drugs, Sponsler did a cartwheel exposing her backside and privates. Unfortunately for her (but fortunately for us) a student recorded the incident. Sponsler has been charged with indecent exposure. Sponsler denied the allegations, saying that she just wanted to be the "cool" teacher. Her bail has been set at $5,000 (and the boys in her school have taken up a collection to raise the money). *----- Pickup Driver Parks On Top of Camry -----* A bizarre case of road rage in Florida took an even stranger turn when a pickup driver backed his vehicle onto the car behind it. Ocala police said witnesses reported Adalberto Aponte, 53, was "driving recklessly" in his Toyota Camry before being stopped at a traffic light in Ocala, where he got out of his vehicle to confront the driver of the pickup truck in front of him. Witnesses said Aponte got violent while confronting the 18-year-old driver of the pickup truck, who was accompanied in his vehicle by his girlfriend and their baby. "The guy reaches in the vehicle and starts punching him in the face," a witness reported. Police said the 18-year-old then threw the truck into reverse and parked the vehicle atop Aponte's Camry. Aponte, who was found to have had his license suspended in August for failing to pay child support, was arrested on charges of burglary of an occupied conveyance, battery, driving while license was suspended or revoked, and criminal mischief. The pickup driver was not charged. *---------- Stupid Is As Stupid Does ----------* Sometimes you have to own up to being an idiot. Take the example of Sheriff's deputy Adam J. Brown. Brown was a resource officer for a school in Auburn, Michigan. Last year he brought a firearm to the school so a teacher in the school's robotics lab could test the trigger pull on the classroom's force machine. That experiment went uneventfully. But then Brown returned alone later in the day and tried the experiment with a different firearm. This one he accidentally left loaded. When the firearm discharged it passed through a wall and injured a teacher in the next classroom. Now, instead of admitting a stupid mistake Brown tried to cover the accident up, claiming he did not fire the gun and intentionally throwing the bullet away. Unfortunately for him, the bullet was found. Now, instead of a misdemeanor charge of careless discharge of a firearm, Brown is ALSO charged with a felony count of tampering with evidence; a four-year offense. Probably should have just owned up to the 90-day misdemeanor. *--- Kind of Sounds Like My Workout Routine ---* Security cameras at a Tennessee gym were recording when a deer crashed through a window and ran a few laps before locking itself in the women's bathroom. The footage recorded Saturday at Quik Fit in Greenbrier shows the buck running around the facility after it and two other deer rammed the gym's storefront windows. The deer eventually runs into the women's restroom, knocking the door closed behind itself. "He got his cardio in," gym owner Eric Lee Beddingfield said. "Thank God he stayed off the treadmill." Greenbrier police and officers from the Department of National Resources caught the deer in the bathroom and dragged it out of the gym's back door. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: .======================================. | ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ | | \_/ \_/ \_/ C|||C|||C||| |-| |-| |-| | | _|_ _|_ _|_ ||| ||| ||| |_| |_| |_| | '===================================== ,sSSSs DUFFY'S WATERING HOLE SSSS "( .:.

They called the proprietor over and asked him to settle an argument. "Are there two pints in a quart or four?" asked one. "There be two pints in a quart," confirmed the proprietor. They moved back along the bar and soon the barmaid asked for their order. "Two pints please, miss, and the bartender offered to buy them for us." The barmaid doubted that her boss would be so generous, so one of the fellows called out to the proprietor at the other end of the bar, "You did say two pints, didn't you?" "That's right," he called back, "two pints." -<>- It was time for the final and the student depending upon getting at least one right answer on the chemistry test. The question was "If H2O if water, what is H2O4?" This was a quick question for most, but it took the student some thinking time. Finally, he wrote down his answer: For drinking, washing, and cleaning. -<>- Pauly walks into a bar and says "Bartender, one round for everyone, on me!" The bartender says, "Well, Pauly, seems you're in a really good mood tonight, eh?" Pauly says, "Oh, you can bet on it! I just got hired by the city to go around and remove all the money from parking meters. I start on Monday!" The bartender congratulates the man and proceeds to pour the round. Monday evening arrives. Pauly comes back into the bar and says "Bartender, TWO rounds for everyone, on me!" The bartender says, "Well now! If you're so happy just over having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you'll be when you get your paycheck!" Pauly looks at the bartender with a confused look on his face, pulls out quite a handful of quarters from his pocket, and says "You mean they'll PAY me on top of it?" -<>- A prospective juror in a Dallas District Court was surprised by the definition of voluntary manslaughter given the panel: "An intentional killing that occurs while the defendant is under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause, such as when a spouse's mate is found in a 'compromising position.'" "See, I have a problem with that passion business," responded the jury candidate. "During my first marriage, I came in and found my husband in bed with my neighbor. All I did was divorce him. I had no idea that I could have shot him." She wasn't selected for the jury. -<>- The heaviest element known to science is Managerium. This element has no protons or electrons, but has a nucleus made up of 1 neutron, 2 vice-neutrons, 5 junior vice-neutrons, 25 assistant vice-neutrons, and 125 junior assistant vice- neutrons all going round in circles. Managerium has a half-life of three years, at which time it does not decay but institutes a series of reviews leading to reorganization. Its molecules are held together by means of the exchange of tiny particles known as morons. -<>- You know how in first grade they used fruits to explain stuff like "one banana plus two bananas make three bananas"? Here's a list of high school math courses based on bananas: ----- Algebra I - A You have a negative banana (possibly made of antimatter). Add two bananas to it and you get one banana. Algebra I - B You have a banana. Factor it, or solve for apples using the quadratic formula. Geometry Prove: Bananas are not vegetables. Given: Bananas are fruits.

The student learns that their dreams will become reality if they only raise them to the fourth power. Pre-Calculus What is the cosecant of Pi over 2 bananas in a unit apple? Calculus AB The student learns to find the slope of a banana. Calculus BC The student learns to find the slope of a banana and also to find the area under the banana. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Linda :) _______ ______ ' ' ' ' ( BUD ) _______ ( WISE ) ,_ _____, / \ ,___ __, | | ER | | \ | | / oO)-. \___ ___/ .-(Oo /__ _\ | /_ __\ \ \( | / | )/ / \__|\ | ()~() | /|__/ ' '--' (-___-) '--' ' ==`-'== Steve >QUOTES * Business one-liners: A President of a democracy is a man who is always ready, willing, and able to lay down your life for his country. A backscratcher will always find new itches; a brown-noser will always find new sense. A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. A bird in the bush usually has a friend in there with him. A bird in the hand is always safer than one overhead. A bird in the hand is dead. A bird in the hand makes it hard to blow your nose. A boss with no humor is like a job that is no fun. A clean tie attracts the soup of the day. A closed mouth gathers no foot. After all is said and done, usually more is said than done. After any unit has been completely assembled, extra components will be found on the bench. Afternoon: that part of the day we spend worrying about how we wasted the morning. Aiming for the least common denominator sometimes causes division by zero. All American cars are basically Chevrolets. All general statements are false; think about it. All generalizations are false, including this one. All generalizations are useless, including this one. All good things must come to an end, I just want to know when they start! All great discoveries are made by mistake. Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. Create a need and fill it. Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster. Creativity is no substitute for knowing what you’re doing. Creditors have better memories than debtors. Crime wouldn’t pay if the government ran it. Dare to be average. Defeat is worse than death because you have to live with defeat. Definition of an elephant: A mouse built to government specifications. Don’t bite the hand that has your paycheck in it.
